2011-03-07T20:56:00.000-07:00

He is definitely all boy!! Today Preston was talking to Jon and Jon said "You talk like a hick!" And Preston said "I don't talk like a hiccup!" So cute and so innocent.

Later today we were saying prayers and Preston has had gas all day. Jon asked him to say the family prayer before bedtime and he said "Please bless that I will run out of gas!" Some days he is way to much to handle.

FUNNY SAYINGS #1 2011

2011-01-19T19:34:00.000-07:00

I know it has been awhile since we have had one of these. I have been slacking but this one is too funny not to share. Just remember it is coming from a 3 year old boy! So yes a little gross.

Payson passed some gas then he spanked his bum and said "Quit farting butt, you stink!" Hahahahaha that is my cute little boy!

THE DAY AFTER HALLOWEEN

2010-11-03T20:50:00.000-06:00

We started a new tradition this year, and well I think it was a great mess! The kids had a blast! We learned a lot and well blew up a lot as well.

We took all the pumpkins and squash from the garden even our Halloween pumpkins and shot them with the .22 and a couple of shot guns! The kids did most of the shooting, but of course Jon and I had our fun!

Just had to throw this one in..

He is such a doll! And loves guns, he is cute like me and takes after his dad, loves anything hunting and guns, guns, guns!!

And the end results are.....(they got to shoot there own pumpkins)

He didn't have any fun did he!

The guns just didn't do enough according to the kids standards! And they had to go smash them. They are already talking about next year!

HALLOWEEN 2010

2010-11-03T20:12:00.000-06:00

AAHHH, how scary are we? Just about as scary as it is that I haven't been on here for about 6 months. So what better time to start then when we are all dressed up in our very best.

Here is a closer look at the little ones..................

Gavin as a cute little pumpkin.......well his version of a pumpkin.

My cute little princess again disappointed me and had to be scary like the boys. Maybe one day she will let me dress her like the princess she is!!

And Preston my superhero to save me!!

My last chance to have a cute little halloweener and as you can tell he got to pick out his costume. He wanted the scary clown. Maybe next year I will have a cuter bunch and not a scary crowd!

GRACIES DANCER OF THE YEAR!!!!

2010-05-23T23:10:00.001-06:00

I am not the type to really brag about my kids, even though I do love them and think I am like any other mom that their kids are the best. But tonight I am going to dedicate this blog to my sweet little girl, Gracie, she has won dancer of the year in her dance class. She takes dance at 24/7 in Duchesne and absolutely loves it. Last night she had her dance recital and awards ceremony.

She absolutely loves to dance! I never thought I would have a girl that danced, but don't worry, before her dance recital she had soccer and baseball games. So she does take after her mom. The dancing stuff, hmm not so sure where she picked that up........

After the dance they did an awards ceremony and Gracie won the Dancer of The Year Award for her class. She was so happy, but didn't even know what it meant, she was just glad to get a trophy!

2010-05-23T22:31:00.000-06:00

I was having Preston say his ABC's all by himself, we usually do it together or with a brother or sister. He says .....G H I Jakey L M N...... I thought that was cute he has an Uncle Jake and he calls him Jakey.

NO MORE DIAPERS!!!!!

2010-05-11T20:53:00.001-06:00

I never thought this day would come!! After almost 9 years straight we are done with diapers! It is bitter sweet. Sweet being that I don't have to change diapers anymore........... well okay for a long time! And bitter because my baby is growing up! He is no longer a baby. Even though he will always be my baby! As you can see he has found alternate uses for his diapers. I am very proud of my little Payson boy, a.k.a. Mr. Giggles.

FUNNY SAYINGS 2010 #6

2010-03-28T23:04:00.000-06:00

Well as many of you know we have the river just about 100 yards from our house!While it may be pretty it is still a little scary with the little ones. So we have told them that there are alligators in it so they won't go by it! It has worked, but my little Diva (a.k.a. Gracie) asked me why they don't ever see the alligators. I told her they hide so you won't see them, then when you get close they will come out and get you. Trying the scare tactic. Then she thought for a moment and said, "Mom I just think that Daddy told us that so we won't go in the water!" Cute, smart kids!

FUNNY SAYINGS #5 2010

2010-03-28T22:50:00.000-06:00

I know, I know it has been a while! That just shows that it has been a while since I have had a minute to sit down and blog! So we will see how far I get tonight! Hahahahahaha!
This weekend I had a volleyball tournament in Vernal! We had a blast and of course it helps that we took first place, out of 36 teams! Wahoo, I am feeling it now! I am not a spring chick any more, but I still like to play like one! Anyway, the 3 oldest kids stayed at Grandpa Bryce's house. They had to much fun! They helped Grandpa out lots I am sure! Pat made them pancakes for breakfast and Gavin asked Grandpa if he had any bacon or sausage that they could eat. He really likes to eat like his Grandpa! And Grandpa says "Gavin, we don't have that kind of food, we are poor folks here." Then without even skipping a beat Gavin says, "Grandpa you aren't poor, you are middle class!"

FUNNY SAYINGS 2010 #4

2010-01-22T12:13:00.000-07:00

Short, but cute!!

We were driving in the car and Gracie was talking about her teeth falling out and Payson says "Santa Claus is going to come and pull my teeth out!" Where they come up with this stuff, I just don't know!

PRESTONS NEW HAIRCUT

2010-01-15T13:57:00.000-07:00

Preston was in the bathroom for a long time. Finally I thought I better go and check on him!!

When I asked him why he did it, he said "You missed a spot when you cut my hair." ....over a month ago! So yes now he is sporting a new shorter hair cut for this cold winter!!

FUNNY SAYINGS 2010 #3

2010-01-15T12:02:00.000-07:00

Preston was putting puzzles with ABC's and 123's together and I asked him, "How did you get so smart?" He said "I ate one smarty!" Then I said "You did?" He replied, " Ya, I am serious one smarty is all it took!"

Gotta love those 4 year old's!!

FUNNY SAYINGS 2010 #2

2010-01-08T11:48:00.000-07:00

Well I am going to cheat on this one a little bit. This one was actually took place in the middle of December. But it is to good not to post, plus I don't want to forget it. Jon on the other hand wishes it would go away!!
One day me and Gracie were teasing Gavin about a girl that likes him. Then I turned to Gracie and this is where it starts:

MOM- Gracie do you have a boyfriend?
GRACIE- No.....but, (with attitude) there is this one boy in my class who has a cute face. (she then opens her mouth and puts her hands in front of it)
MOM- Gracie it is okay to think boys are cute, mommy does, I think daddy is cute.
GRACIE- Well, then...on the first day of school I walked into my class and I thought, WOA he has a cute face. But I don't think his body or anything else is cute, just his face!!
Then the next day she goes to school and tells him he has a cute face, and she was so excited because he told her the same thing!

Well I thought it would stop there but she constantly talks about him and calls him her boyfriend!! I might have been just a little boy crazy when I was younger, but not that young. Plus I was shy never in a million years would have the nerve to tell a boy he was cute at that age!! She is cute, but I think we are in trouble!!!!

FUNNY SAYINGS 2010 #1

2010-01-07T11:18:00.000-07:00

Well, my goal here is to blog about the cute and funny things that my kids say. I don't write them down and yes, I do forget. First we are going to start with Gavin. Yesterday he came home from school and Gracie was telling me that she helped Gavin up when he feel today. I asked Gavin if he was okay and he said "Ya I ran into the pole and I had to go to the office and put ice on my head." So me being the concerned mom asked if I could see where he bumped his head. She showed me and I said "Well it looks like you have a goose egg."
About 5 minutes later he walked up to me, holding his head, and said "Mom, so a goose is going to grow in my head? I don't want a goose to grow in my head!"

CHRISTMAS 2009

2009-12-30T17:02:00.000-07:00

We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas, and we all look forward to the New Year!! The kids had a blast opening presents!! I think these ages are so fun. They are all very excited when they find out that Santa actually found there house!!

Have you ever seen any one so excited about getting socks? This was the only picture the camera MAN took of Gavin. So socks it is!

And Gracie got her iPod that she was so desperately asking for!! Yes, I agree she is to young, but apparently Santa disagrees!! We love to hear her sing when she has her ear phones in, and no she doesn't hold back!

Isn't that priceless!! He asked Santa for anything, I don't think Santa could have went wrong at that point. Looks like he pleased this crowd! Way to go Santa!!

And last but not least, the gun!! Payson sat on Mrs. Claus' lap, he was afraid of Santa, and asked for an elk and a gun!! When asked why, he said "So I can shoot daddy elk." You can definitely tell he is a Daddy's boy!!

MY NEW DOG!!!!

2009-12-19T21:40:00.000-07:00

Yes, this one is mine. I fell in love with her from the time she was 2 weeks old. I just loved her. Jon picked his dog of the litter out, and unfortunately it wasn't the one I had fallen in love with. Someone came and said that she was the one that they wanted, and yes me being an emotional girl started to cry. It was at that moment that I realized I was extremely attached to that dog. Well being the loving friend that he was and having the loving husband that I have, they said that she was mine and they wouldn't take her from me.....under one condition, I test her. Well I agreed to just take her to the puppy test. I am glad they said just test, and not pass. So I feel like I am some what off the hook. So Cleo is my dog, and not Jon's!! She is so calm and so sweet she is not a normal puppy. She lolly gags around the house, doesn't bite the kids or chew everything in sight. She loves to lay around and cuddle. Jon has his doubts, but I think she will be an amazing dog. If anything she is the cutest little thing I have ever saw!! I can mold her into the perfect house dog (and hunting machine) she is almost potty trained and will sit on command!! I love her!!

YOU BETTER WATCH OUT!

2009-12-19T21:29:00.000-07:00

You better not pout, you better not cry, I'm telling you why, Santa Claus is coming to town!

MY NEW BABY......

2009-11-14T21:40:00.000-07:00

Isn't she so sweet?

She is half the size of the others. I have been taking her in 3 times a day to help her catch up.

She is on her way and doing great!! The kids are becoming attached. I just love feeding her the bottle. Who said I needed more babies? Jon's "babies" keep me very busy!!

My favorite thing about this baby is that when she is done eating, mom takes care of her.

HUNTING HARVEST 2009

2009-11-08T20:10:00.002-07:00

The hunting season is officially on us (well it has been for a while). However, this is the first harvest that Daddy needed help cleaning.

The kids think it is so much fun to poke them. (Not for the faint of heart) EWW!

He is so happy to be holding Daddy's trophy.

You can tell the kids are so much help.

This is a picture of our future goose hunter. Isn't she adorable. I love her.

Here she is with all of her sisters. We had 9 girls total and 3 boys. I just wish they could stay this little!!

HALLOWEEN 2009

2009-11-02T08:09:00.002-07:00

Here are my cuties!! 2 Grim Reapers, a "Princess" Vampire, and a cute little horse.

Since when did my little ones become so scary? We went to the ward party, which is a huge tradition in Bridgeland. However, no masks so the kids got to decide how there face was painted. Preston wanted black, I wanted white, so we settled on Red. Payson says "ohhh scary!!"

And my cute little horse. He is the cutest horse ever!! I am glad I still have one that wants to be cute and not scary.

Here they are getting ready to set off and go trunk or treating. The best invention since sliced bread!! Where else can you get your buckets filled in less than 30 minutes and be home before it gets to scary and cold outside? Now a funny story: Jon was at work when we got ready to go and he met up with us at the trunk or treat. I had him take Payson around while I handed out candy. He said this little boy kept following him. He asked a few people if they knew he was. He was talking to Jon here and there. Finally Jon says who are you and lifts his mask up, it was his own son, Preston. He was unaware of the mask he had. He was looking for the same kids that were at the ward party. Preston thought he was pretty funny and scary. Bless the hard working man. We love you Daddy!

The smile of complete satisfaction!! Happy Halloween, now we will prepare for Thanksgiving!!

MY LITTLE GIRL TURNED 6

2009-10-02T09:10:00.003-06:00

As many of you may know my little girl, Grace Jolee Davis, a.k.a. Gracie, turned 6. She posed for a picture on her birthday. My only little girl, I was hoping for a barbie, princess, or some sort of "girly" birthday cake. No she had to have Transformers Bumble Bee cake.
That is her favorite movie and character. She watches it at least once a week. She wanted a Bumble Bee cake, but due to my lack of skill we just frosted it like Bumble Bee.
She got her very own digital camera, so she won't have to steal mine any more. It is so cute and fun. They have not put it down since we got it. For those of you wondering, it is a V-Tech Kidiezoom. I love all of the features and options. She can run it by herself. However, the picture quality is horrible. I haven't plugged it into there computer yet to see if it is just the screen, but if there is the slightest movement on the handlers part or any one else, it is so blurry. None of the pictures have been clear enough to even want to keep them. But they love to edit them and play with the pictures on the camera. If I find some time to download the pictures I will let you know if they are any clearer. I am sure they will still be blurry though.
Also the very popular Bedaroos. I am sure if your kid watched TV they have asked for these. Really cute idea, however not as easy to work with as they make them look. Just a few gifts I thought were worth sharing my opinion.
Here is Gracie with here Great Grandma Bonnie. Can you tell there related? It is no wonder where she gets her good looks.
For her birthday she wanted to take a walk to the river with the family. What is it with kids and throwing rocks into the water?
Cute, they found a tree that had fallen and posed for a picture. I think that Gracie is a little camera shy. She kinda scares me! Hope you had a great birthday Gracie, we love you!!

Gavin's Baptism

2009-09-16T22:03:00.002-06:00

Gavin got baptized September 5, 2009. We are so proud of him and his choice.

So many family members came to support him, we really appreciate there support. It was great seeing all of you that could come. We missed those who couldn't make it.

Not too often we get all dressed up.

Great photos Evan and Dalana!!

They definitely fell off the same tree.

My handsome little boy. He is growing up to fast, but turning into a great kid. I couldn't ask for better!! We love you Gavin.

PAYSON, PAYSON, PAYSON!!!

2009-09-12T21:49:00.003-06:00

First and foremost I am going to apologize for my MESSY house, was in SLC shopping all day, after talking my Mom to the airport:(.
We were at Wal-Mart buying Gavin some new underwear. When little Payson said "Payson want some." So we trek over to the infant underwear place and he picks out some Elmo underwear. Holds them in the cart the whole time and all the way home, and left them in the car and held them clear to SLC. He already loves them. So we get home from SLC and he decides he wants to wear them. I take off his diaper and put them on. He will not wear pants with them. "Just Elmo!" I let him run around in them. Thinking he is pretty cool. Then I put him in the bath and in PJ's. He and the kids are playing and I look over and this is what he has done! He thinks they go over his pants!! He was being a stinker and not letting me get a good picture.

As you can see he is not very happy. But who would be if your mom was talking these kinds of pictures, right?

I convinced him to let Mommy talk a picture. So he posed with a side view.

Then gave a back view. And that was it. I let him look at the pictures and decided they weren't good enough. So I said "let Mommy take a picture of your Elmo's." And this is what I got.......

Isn't he the cutest little thing ever?

GRACIE STARTED KINDERGARTEN!!

2009-09-09T13:12:00.004-06:00

My little princess has started Kindergarten.

As you can tell she was really shy and scared.

I wish, she was so ready. She said she had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Isn't she so cute???

All ready for school!!

At least she did look back!! Preston really misses her. Payson likes that he has Preston all to himself. Oh the trouble they will get into!

GAVINS FIRST DAY OF 2ND GRADE

2009-09-09T11:44:00.003-06:00

Gavin is growing so fast!! He has been so excited to go back to school. Isn't he so handsome!!?

It's no wonder the girls just want to chase him all recess. I am glad he hates it.

He says it takes away from his time to play basketball. Thats my boy!!!!

I hope he can stay that focused in high school!! I know his parents didn't!!

Peace out, the bus is coming.

I KNEW THIS DAY WOULD COME

2009-09-01T21:13:00.003-06:00

Partners in crime!! I was warned that 2 little boys close in age would equal only trouble.

I have had it pretty easy. But now they are getting older, they are also getting mischievous.

The scariest part is they are so proud of their work.

It is a good thing they are soooo cute!!!!

They stuck there hands, hopefully that's all, in daddy's exhaust pipe on his truck. I am glad their whole bodies wouldn't fit, because I am sure they would have stuck them in there as well.

SUMMERS END #2

2009-08-31T22:31:00.002-06:00

And a fishing we went. And had many successful days, minus Fish Lake. We went to Cottonwood Reservoir to try and catch something different besides trout. We got into some nice little catfish. I personally thought they were disgusting. But as you can see the kids had a blast. They thought the release was much more fun than the catch. They are braver than me. I won't even touch them. No, no, now I haven't gone all girly on ya. I just don't like catfish. I will still gut a trout. But ew, don't make me touch those ugly, stinky, poky catfish.

In case you haven't noticed. I don't like them. But as you can see Preston likes to rub his cookie on them, then eat them. I am sure not on purpose, but hey he is Jon's boy. Loves the outdoors and all the extra spices and seasonings that come with the food.

And who can forget the crawdad fishing. I think this was one of Gavin's favorite things to do. Especially when he stuck it on his Dad's arm. Jon still has the marks to prove it did hurt.

And who could forget the birthdays. Not me my little baby turned 2. That is the age where they are officially not a baby anymore. I am so sad!! However, as you all know he will always be my baby. Isn't he the sweetest little thing. I promise he is not spoiled, too much. Just ask him, he's the boss. He isn't even afraid to tell Jon that.

And my Gavin has turned 8. He has been looking forward to this day for a long time. He now gets to start scouts and of course be baptized. My oldest is 8. AGH!!

And who could forget our favorite thing about summer 2009, hanging out with family. We were fortunate enough to go to the cabin's at Jon's work and hang out with his family. The kids had so much fun. Here is Payson and Grumpa Donald watching everyone catch the crawdads. While Jon tries to convince Jakey that there really are fish in the ponds. Now to the craziness of school, dance and more sports starting!! Good bye summer, till nxt year!!

SUMMERS END #1

2009-08-31T22:02:00.004-06:00

The summer of 2009 is coming to an end. We had a very busy summer. We bought our house and every free minute we had went to doing something on the house, whether it be yard work or the kitchen. (Hopefully pictures coming soon.) On this event we went to Fish Lake to see a friend that I hadn't seen since Junior High, Sarah Hardy. She lives in California and was there for the week. It had been over 15 years. She was just as sweet and cute as ever!!

Well we didn't catch any fish, but the kids sure did have a blast playing on the boat ramp! Of course it wouldn't be a ride home from fishing if the kids weren't soaking wet.

We also went to the Duchesne 24th of July parade. Our first parade with only one kid to pick up candy. And he did a great job of picking it up. He had the whole road full of candy all to himself.

Here is Preston and Gracie (behind Preston) on the Bridgeland Ward float. This here is the reason why Payson had the road of candy to himself.

Here is Gavin with his cousin Rorik. They got to throw candy to everyone. My kids were so excited, they finally got to be in a parade. They have always wanted to be in it instead of spectators.

Here is Gracie and some of her friends on the float waving good bye to a wonderful summer!! (More to come!)

OUR NEW BUNNY!! EWW

2009-06-29T15:44:00.002-06:00

On a typical day my kids are outside playing, pretty much the whole day!! They play whatever they can think of. They have 6 acres to run wild on, and they take advantage of that. I keep the front door open so I can hear their laugh's as well as there cry's. This particular day I am in the house working on the computer and Payson, (the cute one in the picture) comes in saying "Bunny, Mom. Bunny, Mom, bunny, bunny." I look over at him he has the cutest smile on his face and the look of a proud little boy. That's when it all goes done hill. His so called "bunny" is a dead mouse. Yeah, a dead mouse. Normally I don't touch or even look at them. What do you do when your 22 month old baby is holding an ugly disease infested animal? Luckily I was holding a thick nylon bag (for shipping socks) in my hand I grabbed the mouse, or bunny, from him set it on the floor. Let Gavin take care of that one, while I washed and washed and washed his hands and arms. Plus I changed his clothes and wiped him down with hand sanitizer, today we used it as body sanitizer. All day long he kept asking me "Where's bunny? Where bunny go Mom?" Then when Daddy got home he told Jon the whole story for about 20 minutes. It is too bad that we can't understand him more. But we could understand the "bunny"!!!

FISHING FUN!!

2009-06-03T13:10:00.004-06:00

Well as some of you may know we have got a new boat!! And love it. It was so cold outside but Gavin just had to try out the tube. Needless to say he couldn't talk any one else on to it.

But.....we did fish!! And we actually caught some!! This was the first one that Preston caught. He was a nice 3 LB cut-throat. We have been fishing at Sandwash Reservoir. They have tagged hundreds of fish with red tags. If you catch one you get a prize. The kids are more excited to see if there is a tag on it then to see how big it is.

One of these days we will get the red tag fish. Until then we will keep catchin' the big ones!

The fish were taking our hooks so fast Jon set this pole down, turned around and grabbed it in mid-air. This fish was going to take the whole pole with it!! But he couldn't out trick little Gracie!!

Well our fishing had to come to an end due to the weather. We got poured on!!

Not a bad catch for 1.5 hours!!

Preston was the lead fisherman!! He caught 4 of the seven and even set the hook for one of them. I went to help Gavin and he was holding the pole and yells "I caught one, I caught one!"

Why a boat you ask? So we can spend quality time as a family and make memories!! What a catch!! By the way Grandpa, Payson is now saying "catch fishy pole!" You better go shopping!!

WILD AND CRAZY KIDS!!

2009-05-03T11:13:00.003-06:00

We had just gone hunting the night before for pheasants. Jon thought that he would take me out before the seasons end. Payson thought that was so much fun. He picked up sticks and starting shooting at the pheasants. He would say buxk buxk quack quack, then run off laughing. The next day he found a pen on the floor and starting shooting Jons ceramic duck. You can tell by the look on his face that this is serious business man!!! So I had the camera out for this and the other kids went wild!!! They were trying to get there pictures taken as well. I think my kids are attention deprived!! Well at least that is what they think. (I have no idea how this got underlined and blue, be nice, I am still learning!)

And the crowd went crazy!! Jumping and trying to get there picture on the camera. They were jumping and twirling. It was fun getting some of these images on camera. They don't know what serious business is!!

Look at her hair and skirt, he is all about wild!!

It is never a dull moment when you have kids around. Always something going on and someone being wild. The hard part is getting it caught on film!!

APRIL FOOLS!!

2009-05-03T10:34:00.002-06:00

So the kids (Gracie mostly) thought it would be so much fun to pull a joke on Daddy for April Fools Day. They had many ideas, one was to mix all of the stuff in the fridge and give daddy a drink of it and tell him that it is way healthy and yummy!! Mommy knocked that idea down fast. (Jon owes me) Then they wanted to make the food all different colors and tell him that we don't know what happened. So............We worked out magic and made blue pancakes. Yummy!!!

Can't tell she is up to trouble can you?

They wanted a picture to show that we really did have blue pancakes....

And green eggs. They loved the pancakes but weren't quite sure about the green eggs, until....

We made them look a little more friendly!!! Daddy was so surprised and scared to eat the dinner they had conspired to make!!!

Ponying Around

2009-04-03T15:04:00.004-06:00

When Grandpa wasn't looking we decided to give his horse a make over. Beautify him a little bit.

It took Grandpa a minute to catch it. The kids just giggled with Grandpa then posed for a picture with Grandpa's new invention.

Here is the group picture, yes the flower is still in if you look close. The lighting wasn't that good in Ryan's shop. But it was the only place for a picture. And Gracie wanted her flower back!!

Here is the boys helping out Grandpa. They thought that it was pretty fun to brush the horse.

Those 2 weren't the only ones that wanted to help. Payson found a brush then decided to try his hand at it. When we first got there he didn't want to have anything to do with the horses. Then decided they weren't so bad and he rode around with me for over an hour!!!

But first he had to make sure the horse's winter coat was all gone. There was hair everywhere. And I mean everywhere by time we got done.

Here is Payson helping Grandpa again with Skittles. This is the horse that the 3 oldest rode, yes even Preston. He thought he was big enough to "drive". Well about 3 seconds later Gracie was almost clothes lined by a hanging wire (not a live one). Grandpa ran to there rescue. Then Skittles decided to take a trot and she ran past me and Payson on Coyote. Gracie was holding on to Preston while Preston had dropped the raines and was holding on to the saddle horn. He was laughing and Gracie was screaming. This time Coyote and I ran to there rescue. It is a good thing that Skittles fast speed is mock 2 MPH. After that Gracie threw her hat in and called it enough for one day.

Payson still wanted to brush even after the saddle was off. He just couldn't get enough.

A cute picture of the kids having a fun day.

All in all it was loads of fun. A day the kids will remember!! And off they rode into the sun!!

Back in February, yes February I am behind, we went to the Jazz game with Gavin and Gracie. We started in Sandy and rode the trax to the game. This is Gracie and her friend Riley.

Rock on!! Here is Gavin and Kayden on trax. We rode over with our friends and these are 2 of there kids.

Go Jazz!!! They played against the Sacramento Kings!! Go Kyler Korver!!

He is Gracie's favorite!!! #26

See Gavin and the Jazz dancers!!! This is as close as he dared to get!!

Opp, there he is again. Who was in charge of this camera any way?

Another one of the Jazz, Gavin insisted on me having all of them on the blog and wanted me to tell you his favorite player is Darrin Williams #8.

And of course we were all so excited the Jazz WON!!! Yeah, go Jazz!! Now only if they can win again tonight!!

Gavin's Pictures

So the other day we went to my Dad's house and let the kids play. Gavin found his new passion. Taking pictures!!! Here are a few I hope you enjoy them. This first one is Preston and part of Whiskers.

Here is Gracie and the new pup. He got better as the days went on. As you can see this one actually shows most of the dog.

And here comes Goose.

He is getting closer.

This is Gavin's Aunt Raquel's horse. Look at this picture!!

Well, Hello Goose. How are you? Very friendly we found out.

This one is my favorite. He wanted to do a group picture. Gracie didn't want to join the group. She was to busy trying to catch skittles to ride.

THEY WOULD MAKE THERE DADDY'S PROUD

Who said girls are good for nothing. So maybe they didn't find these sheds!!

But they sure did know how to move them. You know who their dad's are going to take on the next shed hunt.

Day at the Farm......

2009-03-19T13:14:00.005-06:00

Gracie and her friends at Preschool went to a local farm to see all of the baby animals!! As you can see they had great big friendly greeter.

Even the baby cow came out to see them, or was it to eat?

I am sure it was a little of both. They were the cutest things ever. I love it!!

Look how much fun. Do you think that Jon would let me bring one home?

NO? It would be a great babysitter. Even Payson got in the action.

Well okay, even though they are sweet and cute, they can stay on the farm. I am talking about the animals at the farm and not the animals that live at my house.

HE'S TOO CUTE!!

Payson was having so much fun and being so cute that I couldn't help but post more pictures of him.

What is it with kids and putting things on there heads?

Doesn't he look so innocent? As I have said in a previous post...looks can be deceiving.

What an accomplishment. It stayed. That is one proud boy!!

Now it's a game. He is so smiley.

And the icing on the cake. What joys a smile can bring. Too bad life couldn't be as simple as this sweet little boys!!

PLAY DOUGH TIME!!!

2009-03-11T09:16:00.004-06:00

This is what happens when we get bored on Sunday afternoon.

Mom gets crazy and thinks play dough may not be such a bad idea!!

So much fun, don't concentrate to hard!!

Well it did keep Preston entertained for a hour. Yeah, just an hour.

You can only cut out play dough cookies for so long says Gavin.

But if your Gracie you could do it all day, every day, 10 different times a day. So mom has to clean up 10 different times.

Preston just loved to think he was making cookies. Now it is time to clean up......again!

LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING!!!

They look so sweet and innocent, but believe me when I say they are nothing but smiles and quadruple trouble!

Gavin with his hair cut like Grandpa Donald's. He looks real serious!!

Gracie and her googly eyes. Isn't she such a beautiful little princess!! I think her smile says it all!

Everyday eating at our house times 4. Preston is the cleanest!!

And last but not least Payson helping me make cookies. See what happens when you turn your back for 2 seconds. At least we always have fun!!
