Jades birthday party

For Jades party she new exactly what she want to do, she wanted to do hair, make-up, nails,and of course a pinata. My mom thought of also making bracelets which was a huge hit. Thanks to my mom, cousins, Kelly and Shelly everything went perfectly. Denise, Shelly and I did their hair, and Denise brought flowers and clips so they could make a flower to match their outfit, what a good idea. Kelly did their make-up which consisted of blush, eyeshadow,mascara, and lip stick. My aunt Carol did their nails,and my mom did the bracelet making. Nicole helped out everywhere, mostly with Violet. I couldn't believe how well it went the girls were in heaven.

They all looked like little princess'. 

Deciding what colors to choose is a big decision!!

Emily had fun even though here she looks miserable.
Even Violet got her hair done..... she kept it in all of 5 seconds!
Violet loved looking at herself in the mirror.
The finished Product!!!!!

Jade helped me make her ice cream cake, she wanted chocolate cake with mint ice cream.

Did a horse really jump over Jade????

The other night my cousins were babysitting at their house, they wanted to go outside with the horses., Nicole said no since one of the horses was out of the corral but Denise thought it would be ok but Nicole said no. Jade said " well since Denise is older she should be in charge of us so we can go outsid." How clever of her. Well Brent was roping a fake cow head, then to make the kids laugh he started roping Denise, well it spooked the horse and it jumped over Jade and while doing so its stomach hit jade in the head and knocked her over and she landed on her elbow, ouch! They said she was in shock but never cried, she was holding her arm across her body but could move it pretty good, by moring she couldn't move it and it was swollen and black and blue so we went to the doctor and sure enough it was broke. So of course we got a pink cast, she has to wear it 3 weeks then we go back for x-rays to see if its better. I was at work so Jared took her and my mom met him there, when they were waiting for the doctor jade said" ok grandma you ask some of the questions and i'll ask some of the questions' my mom said" what questions do you have?" Jade "I don't have any." She is such a funny girl, poor thing its going to be a long track break with no swimming, but she has been a good sport and hardly even complains, she is my toughest kid. The next day Aidan comes over to play and Jade comes running in"Aidan has a blue cast on!!!" he broke his wrist how crazy is that?

Jade was excited to go to school to tell the story. The next couple of days teachers and parent asked if the story was true cause they weren't sure if their kids got the story wrong. No actually a horse really did jump over her.

Her face got a little beat up too.

Fast Asleep

These kids are passed out! On the couch is Ryder and Krew, and on the ground is Jade, Max, Jackson, and Malakai. Jareds sisters babysat for us and the Walkers, the kids all fell asleep watching a movie.

Ryder fell asleep in the middle of drawing! This kid can fall asleep anywhere!

The After Party

Violet just hanging out with Denise playing on her belly.

The candles would not stay lit, Jared kept relighting them and relighting them, the kids thought it was so funny, of course Jared was making it dramatic.

Jared told Krew to smell the cake, then he smashed his face in it. Krew loved it, suprisingly, it could've gone either way.

Aunt Jaime and Aunt Tiffy were the best, they swam the whole time and watched and played with all the kids. Jade and Jaime were the last ones out of the pool.

Krews Baptism

Jade wanted a picture alone with Krew, she was so excited.


Krew and Zach have the same suit, aren't they adorable?
Our whole family, check out Ryders face he just got knocked down by Denises belly!!



I can't believe I have a child old enough to get baptized, it's crazy.  Krew was so excited, the week before my mom bought him a suit for his baptism, Krew tried it on and was posing and said "I love this suit but I can't believe I get baptized in this thing."I was laughing so hard and told him its to wear to your baptism, you get baptized in white.

A couple days before his baptism we were at Kellys and he did something rude to Parker, i asked him why he would do that?

K-"Parker started it"

M-"Well that doesn't make it right."

K-"Well its a good thing I'm not baptized yet then isn't it?"

He is hilarious. 

The baptism went so good. Krew and his friends sang "Armies of Helaman", or should i say Krew sang a solo , he was directly in front of the mic so he was the only one you could hear, it was really funny he was just belting out the words with the biggest smile on his face. Later that day I said

M-" you sang so good"

K- " I know, and everyone keeps telling me that even people I don't know!"

What a memory that will be.

After the baptism we went with family and friends to my moms house for a party it was so much fun and good food thanks to my friends and family. We are so proud of Krew for choosing to get baptized, we got him a set of scriptures and we wrote inside them, he absolutely loves them he shows everyone and also shows them what we wrote. He also loves reading out of them when we have family scripture time.

I love you Krew and we are so glad you are apart of our family!

Jades Field Day

Jades kindergarten class had a field day, she was so excited to wear her swim suit for the water games. They did potato sack races, hula hooping , skate boarding ,duck duck spray, and water games. Violet and Ryder loved the hula hoops. Luckily it was cloudy out that day so it wasn't too hot.

Lady Bugs

Jade just had her first report ever. They were to choose an insect to do a report on, she of course choose lady bugs,they had to tell facts about their insect and do some sort of presentation, so she built a home for her lady bugs in a plastic container with dirt and plants. She found 6 lady bugs in the grass at soccer practice, and we found pictures online of lady bugs to show the class. She did such a good job and was so brave up in front of her class.
