Happy Birthday Kirsten!

I'm figuring after today, Kirsten is going to change the password so that I don't have access to the blog.

Today is Kirsten's 27th Birthday and I figured to celebrate, I would post some things from a birthday calculator in honor of her special day:

Happy Birthday Kirsten, the kids and I love you and are going to do all that we can to make sure you enjoy your day. Now I need to go make you some biscuits and gravy...

#3 is on the way!

For those who don't know, I'm twelve weeks along with baby number three! The four of us went to the doctor's today for the first ultrasound. The doctor says that everything looks good and is normal for this timeframe. The baby should be coming around January 1st. We're hoping a few days early for the tax break. :-)
Ethan is really wanting it to be a boy and is very serious when he tells us that the baby should be named Fluffy. That's right, Fluffy.
Enjoy the pics, feel free to use your imagination!

What we have been up to...be ready for a picture overload

Coulter and I had our first anniversary on May 23rd and we were sealed in the Ogden temple. It was a great day and we are grateful to our family and friends that could share the day with us.

Coutler's sister got married on June 3...congrats Breann and AJ

Kaitlin graduated from High School on June 4! Our cousin Meghan graduated too, I just don't have any pics...congrats Meghan!

My dad turned the big 50 on June 5! We had a big surprise party that night and a bunch of his friends were able to come and celebrate with him. My Aunt Nancy and Aunt Lisa (my dad's sisters) were also able to fly out to be with him. It was a fun day!

Ethan turned 5 on June 7 and he had his first friend party. He had a bug party...the kids got to go on a bug hunt, make butterflies and eat mud pie. Ethan had a great day!

One of Ethan's presents from a friend was a frog habitat so we got Ethan a fire belly toad to go in it. Ethan is pretty much obsessed with his new friend....

Ethan requested a bug cake for his birthday so here is his "inch worm" cake...

Ethan finished up his first season on T-ball. Thanks for the entertainment Ethan!

T-ball and graduation

So I don't know exactly what we have been up to the past month but I know that we have been busy...A couple things I do remember...Ethan started t-ball and it is pretty entertaining. The kids don't really know why they are playing this strange sport and most of them are doing whatever they want. Every single kid does know that they get a treat when the game is over and this is the highlight of the night. We enjoy going and watching Ethan entertain us...he likes to turn over the bases and look for bugs and harass the other boys. Good times...

Ethan also had his preschool graduation on May 20th. The kids sang a bunch of songs and then got to "graduate" from preschool. It was a cute little program and Ethan enjoyed of all his silly songs. Soon he will be in kindergarten, scary I know. I don't know if I'm ready for him to be that old...

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for coming!

*Mother's Day was nice...I had strep though so no pics were taken. Also Coulter, Kirsten and Rylie are alive even though there are no pics of us to prove it.

Graduation Day!

Coutler and Robby graduated from Weber State University on Friday. We are so proud of both of them. I'm excited that Coulter is done with school (for now). He needed a break...We were also very happy that Coulter and Robby both graduated from the business college at the same time so we only had to go to one graduation...good planning boys!

Birthday Boy...

So Coulter turned to big 27 yesterday...pretty dang exciting...My family came over on Sunday for dinner and cake. Coulter got exciting things like a ladder and a shop vac for his birthday (being a boy sucks...I would die if I got a shop vac for a present). Anyways...he asked for all the "manly" stuff so that's what he got. Coulter's mom gave us a gift certificate for a night at a hotel in Bountiful for Easter so we used it last night. It had to redeemed by the end of April and we couldn't find a night where we would both be home and have a babysitter too so we made it a family night. (No laughing). So we went to see the new Disney movie Earth and then we had dinner and did a little shopping at The Gateway. The kids loved the water fountain that you can run though and the movie was pretty good. Then we headed to the hotel. The kids were so excited to go swimming in the hotel pool until we found out that it was closed for maintenance...What the? Just our luck...the kids were not very happy so we did a little swimming in the jacuzzi tub in our room...(white trash baby!) Overall Coulter and the kids seemed happy...the day was a success. Happy Birthday Coulter!

Easter

Easter was great this year. The night before Easter we dyed Easter eggs...the kids loved it. Then we sent them to bed so the Easter bunny could come. Easter morning the kids played with their loot from the Easter bunny and then we went to church (where just about everyone was hopped up on sugar...primary was interesting). After church we went to my parent's ward for Matthew's Priesthood ordination and then back to my parents for dinner. After dinner we went to Coulter's family's house for an Easter egg hunt and to visit....Then we went back to my parent's house to celebrate Robby's birthday. Happy Birthday Robby! So it was a busy day but we had a lot of fun. We hope everyone had a great Easter too...
