11th Anniversary

I decorated our room with helium balloons that had fun memories I had typed up taped to each one, it was a super fun walk down memory lane. I gave him a few of his favorite treats as well and made a yummy dinner with omaha steaks food. It was a super fun night! I have to say I love my amazing hubby he is an amazing man, husband and Father. I am so blessed to be married to him.

Worthy Opponent

I asked Kyle to watch Emree for me one evening while I was getting the other kids ready for bed. I walked by his room hearing him explain all the rules of chess to Ems (who is 6 months old) so sweet. then next thing I know she is his his opponent (notice she is not allowed in arms distance of the chess board). She must be a worthy opponent.

K--Y--L--E

One day Kambree yelled K--Y--L--E and started tattling on the girls, I was sitting right there while she told him what was going on and Kyle said "Kams why don't you tell Mom she's right there" and she said "cause she can't tackle and you can".

House... I mean Castle

We really did contemplate buying this house... can you imagine 5 princesses and 1 prince charming. My girls were in Heaven and even Kyle tried convincing us, He was sure a knight (he) should live there. In the end it just wasn't what we wanted to live in forever but it was fun looking at!

Kyle's 10th Birthday

We had so much fun celebrating his day! I love this boy so much!!! I honestly don't know what I'd do without him. He is so good at everything he works hard at. He has so many awesome traits and he is my right hand man. Love him so much!

BME

Whenever my parents come to town they take the kids to the dollar store. One evening after my Dad had taken the kids I found this bouquet of flowers on my bed with this sweet little card. It said (in her own punctuation) Happy Valentines Day! I got these fowers from the dollar store. I hope you like them. I just wanted to remind you that I love you. Hope you enjoy them. Love ya. Love, Kayelee

It had a heart attached to the flower that said BME and on the back of the envelope it said P.S. BME stands for Best Mom Ever. It was so sweet melted my heart. They only get 1 dollar to spend each time my parents take them so all she got was flowers for me, nothing for herself. It really meant so much to me, I just love that girl so much!

Spelling Bee

Kyle was able to participate in the area spelling bee, he did a great job, he is a great speller and praticed so hard for it, we were super proud of him.

Kapri's 5th birthday

I can't believe she is big enough to go to school! She had a wonderful birthday, she asked for Grandma Freeman to make her a blanket and not only did she make one she surprised us all and hand delivered it from Washington and spent the day with us, that was such a special treat. It was a wonderful day for a wonderful girl.

She had a little party with her pre-school friends... we painted toes, even Emree's

Christmas (2011)

I know Christmas in July right:) I just couldn't leave this out of our blog book even if it did take half a year to post.

We spent Christmas at our OWN house this year and it was wonderful! We had a great time and made such fun memories. I got brand new stockings this year and complete with names on them, it was such a treat! We spent New Year's up in Washington and had a wonderful time.

Waiting to see if Santa came...

He sure did! Proof in the picture at the top.

Uncle John and Aunt Amanda and their family came over to do Christmas eve with us it was so much fun!

Kayelee's 7th Birthday (2011)

Kayelee's Birthday is the 21st of November, we were in Utah for Thanksgiving so we celebrated it there. My parents were in Utah at the same time as well so it was a treat to get to celebrate with them, My mom made Kayelee a beautiful blanket that she loves and sleeps with every night. For her Birthday activity we went to the Aquarium, and ate at five guys burgers. We had cake and Ice cream at Grandma Carol's later that night. It was a super fun day!

Reading

I love sweet moments like this. I asked Kayelee to hold Emree for me, she decided to read her a story and Emree was totally captivated it was so cute. Kayelee is so much help with her.

Sisters

I can't help but think how blessed my girls are to each have 4 sisters, I only had 1 so I treasure the fact that they get 4 there is nothing better than a sister. I feel so blessed to have 5 beautiful daughters, I feel a huge responsibility to teach these girls how to be good mamas someday. What an influence they will have. Love my girls so much!
