Happy 7th Birthday Savannah!!

My little angel is 7 years old now.....I can hardly believe it. I just want to write some little memories of my sweet little girl over the past year. Savannah is the sweetest girl in the whole world....she also has over the past year become more dramatic with stomping her feet when she is told no and teasing her brothers. Kaleb says " mom, she teases me and I cant do anything about it because she is a girl" Savannah thinks she needs to be playing with someone every second of the day, if there is just one day that goes by without a friend to play with she thinks she never gets to play. She started 1st grade this year and it was a challenge for her and I. I am not kidding when I say she cried every day when I dropped her off, as I was walking out of her class room, I would have to run because I was in tears before I got to my car. This went on from September until January....I had to start the tough love because it was killing me, so I told her she would be grounded from playing after school if she cried anymore, the tears stopped from that day on. I think she was playing me the whole time. Savannah has been begging for her ears pierced for about 2 years now, Jared was not wanting to have his little girl grow up. At Christmas time we took the kids shopping at the mall and she was begging the whole time we were at the mall. The tear came and the "please dad"....she got her ears pierced and has loved them. She changes her earings multiple times a day. She was spoiled on her birthday, she got an American doll from us, we took her to lunch at Olive Garden, went to dinner at Grandma Latimer's, sleep over with her sweet cousin Bergen, snuggles with her Uncle Christian, Grandma date with Grandma Smith, and a whole lot of love from the whole family. Happy Birthday sweet Savannah..We Love YOU!!

Happy 10th Birthday!!

Kaleb turned 10 years old on August 24 and he keeps reminding me that he is in the double digits. He is one boy that is excited to grow up. For his birthday we had a family party and then a couple of weeks later we did an air soft party with his buddies. This party suits Kaleb so much, he loves his air soft gun. Kaleb is in 4th grade now, he is really good at getting his school work done, he works hard at school so that he can have his nights free from homework. He loves to read the books "Diary of a Wimpy Kid", "The Adventures of Captain Underpants", and "Wayside School". These books remind me of Kaleb, he loves to giggle at people doing naughty things. Another thing about Kaleb is that he is money hungry, he wants to make money!! He also likes to spend it the second it hits the wallet, we are trying to teach him about saving, he doesn't care about that right now. We love Kaleb so much, he takes the roll of being the oldest really great, he is very loyal to his family and friends, loving, and very fun. I love you Kaleb!!

WE LOVE MOAB

I love this man so much, I am just having a moment as I do my blog, just thinking how lucky my children and i are to have such a devoted man in our life.




Gabriel has a one track mind and when we go to the desert, all he can think about is catching lizards, we his parents are so excited when he finally does because then he relaxes a little. We ended up spending the week end with some great friends, "the Miller's", we did some rock climbing, and then we watched Marshal Miller base jump off a cliff. Bless his sweet wife for watching, that is scary stuff!!



Jared took the boys on a bike ride to Gemini Bridges, it was really long for them but they did awesome.

Gabriel's Baptism!!

On April 24, Gabriel was baptized by his dad!! He was such a proud little man that day and couldn't have prouder parents for his important decision. Jared and I are really lucky to have such a sweet boy that is a great example to us. Grandpa Lou gave the talk on baptism and did a great job. After we came back to our house and had a BBQ. It was a great day, Congrats Gabriel!!

On April 15, Gabriel turned 8 and we tried to keep it simple because it is his baptism, we had a really fun day and made it super special for a super special boy. He wanted a remote control car and so that is what he got. The top picture is of Grandpa Eldon giving Birthday spankings. Grandpa Lou never misses the special days,he makes a big effort to remember everyone. We love you Grandpa Lou!! I love this little man so much, there isn't anyone who will make you feel more loved. He was visited by his Grandparents, taken to the skate park with his BFF Kanyon Coles and a bunch of cousins,and then home for Wendy's dinner with cake and ice cream. Happy Birthday Gab-o!!

On April 23, Sawyer turned 2. My baby is growing up so fast. He is such a fun little dude, his most favorite thing to do is go to the Jr High (right across the street) to ride his little bike and go off jumps. The only thing that Jared and I could think of to get him as a gift is some biking gloves because he is always wanting to wear Gabriel's old ones. The most favorite thing he is doing lately is asking "Can I...." about anything. He will ask "Can I pinch you, Can I, Can I? or Can I push the button, can I, can I? and this button is to turn the computer off and he knows it is a no, no!

These pictures made me laugh out loud. This was a fun night, the girls were so giggly and so silly. This party included all the older girl cousins, Andelin Baldwin, Burgen Baldwin, Eva Bromley, Lucy Bromley, and Katie Cressler. The night was just all about playing and having fun. We did a movie night with some pedicures and manicures, and cake and icecream. I love girlie stuff and Savannah is the most sweetest little angle ever. I am so thankful for her. She is so willing to help out her mom with Sawyer and any cooking in the kitchen. happy birthday beautiful girl!!
