Time of Your life

Morgan turned two on October 27th. She loves Minnie Mouse so we got here a Minnie Mouse birthday cake. She loved it! She is our little sweetheart. She likes to play with her brothers and sisters. She talks so good. We always say were is Morgan and she yells out "I right here" it is so cute. Morgan is also a daddy girl. She loves to sit on Jared's lap and watch her favorite t.v. show "Caillou" She will pick to be with Jared more than anyone else if she has the choice. We love having this little princess in our family. Happy Birthday Morgan we love you! My mom took this great picture of Morgan with her grandpa Meldrum. I just wanted to add it because we live with grandpa and Morgan loves to go visit grandpa in his room. She loves him so much. When ever I can't find Morgan I know she is probably in grandpas room having a cookie and snuggling with grandpa.

Carson turned four years old on October 24th. He had a fun birthday. He really wanted a turtle cake for his birthday so we ordered a cake and put some cool turttles on it. Carson is full of fun. We always ask him why he is so cute and he tells us that it is his super power. We totally agree with him. Happy Birthday Carson we sure love you!

Well it is that time again school time. Brooklynn started High School this year. Preston is in 8th grade,Madison in 5th grade,London in 3rd grade and Carson in Pre-school. Carson is way excited to be going to the "Lucky Ducks" preschool. He really is a lucky duck because it is a preschool in my sisters neighborhood where every mom takes a turn and they invited Carson to join them. I am so grateful. I also started going to school this year. I am a freshmen at Weber State University. I am also very lucky to be in school right now. This will be a good school year for all of us.

We were given a wonderful blessing from a neighbor of ours. They let us use there condo up at Powder mountain for a whole week for free. It was so nice to get away and spend time as a family. We played games,went swimming in the pool they had there, put together puzzles, watched movies,played with play dough, and enjoyed the fresh mountain air. Jared got to come with us he still laid on the couch and didn't feel well but at least got a change of scenery. It was a nice thing to get to do right before school started. Pictures coming soon.

It's official Preston is a teenager! Wow how did this happen. My little man can't be 13 years old. Preston is a great kid. He has a great sense of humor(like his dad) and he is always helping me without me even having to ask. He loves hanging out with his friends,playing video games(of course),singing,acting,and scouts. He got to go to scout camp this year and had a great time. He is growing up so fast. Happy birthday Preston. We love you! My camra wasn't working on Preston's birthday and my back up hasn't sent me the pictures she took so when she does I will add them.

One of the fun things we got to do this summer was go on a camping trip with my family. We had such a great time. The camp ground had a water park with some water slides. I had as much fun and the kids going down those slides. I don't think I have laughed that hard for a long time. The only down side was that Jared was to sick to join us. We missed him and hope he can be well enough to come with us next year. Group picture. This was taken just before everyone went home on the last day. My mom and dad left the night before. That is why they are not in the picture. Cute Brook Preston and Cindy(See how happy Preston is that I am hugging him) Tired Morgan Cute Carson chilling around the fire Morgan eating a banana with grandpa John

Maddie Moo Face turned ten on the 5th of July. She had a good birthday. She has grown up a lot this last year. She is such a big help with her little brother and sister. She is going to be a great babysitter. She has a heart of gold. Always so sweet to everyone. Madison enjoys playing with her friends,ballet,and going to activity days. She also loves to cook. She cooks Romman noodles and eggs like a pro. Happy Birthday Madison we love you.

Atlantis(my niece)Madison, London, and Carson Something you may not know about me is that I love the 4th of July. It is my favorite holiday. We did the same old things as always parade, Water fight with Jared's family,bbq and fireworks. That is just the way I like it. The kids had a good time too. I don't think I have talked about it in my blog but Jared is not feeling real good right now. He has a lot of pain in his bones and really bad headaches. He had a really bad day on the 4th so while he stayed home in bed we went and had fun. It was hard to leave him and we missed him being with us. We are hoping next year he will be feeling much better and can have fun with us. We missed you Jared and we love you!

I always think I wont get behind on my blog but I do. So this is a huge catch up of what has been going on the last few months. I really want to add it because I am making this blog into a book at the end of the year for our family history. So this first set of pictures is of Jared playing pirates with the kids one day. It was so cute and the kids had so much fun playing. This was at Easter and to be honest with you the only pictures I took at Easter time. We got a great surprise one day from Jared's work. They sent us these beautiful bunny cookies with our names on them. I truly made our day and the kids enjoyed every bite of the cookies. Jared showing off his bunny ears We have been having a really cold spring and one day in May it snowed again so Carson talked me into going out and helping him build a snowman. He was pretty proud of that snowman. It was sad that it only lasted a few hours it was gone by the end of the day.

We got such a treat this last week. One of Jared's vendors treated our family to a Jazz game. We also got treated to dinner in the sponsor room before the game. The food was so good and the game was so fun. Jared has been sick so he couldn't go with us so I let Preston bring a friend because he has been working hard helping his grandpa every day prune the trees in the back yard. He decided to bring his cousin Nick. We had a great time. We left the babies home because I'll admit it I needed a night without them hanging on me. So I offered there tickets to my mom and dad. My dad is a huge Jazz fan and I knew he would love coming to the game. And he did! So here are some pictures my mom took at the game. Riding frontrunner The Jazz Bear sent a big balloon up into the audience and it got bounced around for awhile and then he came up and popped it right above Madison and London. and confetti fell all over there heads. They loved it. Enjoying dinner

I am so behind on this blog but wanted to catch up a little bit. Brooklynn turned 15 years old on March 9th. That's right 15. One year until she drives. I can't believe it. We went out to dinner at a new soup and salad place called "Zupas" It was very good. Brooks choice of course then we went back to the house and had ice cream cake from "Cold Stone" it was yummy. Brooklynn has grown up a lot this year. She is a huge help around here and she is a ray of sunshine to everyone she knows. She always has a smile on her face and always has a great attitude. She is one of those sweet and fun people you just love to be around. She works hard in every area of her life. We love you Brook so very much. Happy Birthday!!!!!

London turned eight years old on February 2nd. She had a good birthday. She was able to get her ears pierced and she got to have a party with her friends.

She is always wanting to be busy doing something. She loves to be outside or off playing with her friends. She has a great style that is all her own. She is such a fun girl. Happy Birthday London We love you! London got heeleys for her birthday. She has had a good time skating around on them.
