This guy likes to line things up these days.  Which reminds me of his older siblings and their same little habits.  BALLS are Teagans thing.  Anything that deals with balls - that is where you will find him.  No matter where we are, he is asking for a ball!

 We made brownies the other night and Teagan decided it was his turn to lick the spoon.  How is it my kids always choose my favorite things!?!

Happy Love Day!

My most FAVORITE part about today is that Quin was home all day!

He helped with the kids and took them shopping and spent some time at the store getting my phone fixed.  Doing all these things for me just makes my heart happy, as I would tell my two year old!

I LOVE THE LOVE!

He has the whole week off for vacation and I am loving it.  We plan on doing NOTHING.  Just sitting around and enjoying the kids. 

Happy Week to me!

Random moments!

 Boys love to wrestle

 Coleston gets a lot of "loves" from Teagan

 Teagan loves his mommy

 Ashelyn loves to ride her two wheeler

 Teagan loves his bike: the plasma car

 Coleston enjoys a lot of exciting things from the sidelines

 Oreos and milk are an after-school favorite around here

 They shoved me out of bed and took over my favorite sleeping spot

 Teagan loves to find things to kick.  One day after our Costco trip he enjoyed an hour of fun!

 Coleston's push-ups

 The boys found my flour - well worth the cleanup time.  These boys had SO MUCH FUN!

 Coleston is my "helper"

Ashelyn loves to entertain

Catching Up!

Has there ever been a time when you have been torn between enjoying being in the moment or being able to write down and remember all you are enjoying?

It has been a long few months (well to tell you the truth it has been a long year!) and I am not sure how I have made it through, but I am sure hoping these next few months give me a few more minutes so I can try and remember and write down all I have been enjoying!

Christmas 2011 style

Christmas went by fast here at our house.  December was crazy with Quin working a crazy schedule at the hospital and the kids with school parties and being out of school for two weeks.

WE HAD FUN THOUGH . . .

Teagan eating lots of chocolate from the hot chocolate stand at our Ward Christmas Party (that I was in charge of).

 Treydon and Ashelyn were wisemen in the play at our Ward Christmas Party

 Gingerbread trains - Treydon did a trainwreck.  Ashelyn and I decorated ours with lots of candy.  Teagan and daddy decorated theirs BYU style.

 Christmas morning in their Christmas jammies

Since Quin was gone a lot this Christmas (we only got him Christmas Eve and Christmas Day - which was our present for sure!) the kids and I had many sleepovers that involved candy and laughter under the tree until WAY TOO LATE!  (But I love to make memories!)



Leaves in my hair!

Can you believe they threw leaves in my hair!?!

NAUGHTY MONKEYS!

I am glad (well I wasn't at the time!) the gardeners left these leaves in our backyard for two weeks so we had something to do over Christmas break!  Lol!

Green Machine

Treydon has been with these boys on the same team for three years now! 

It has been an amazing experience for Treydon and our family to be a part of this group.

It was the best year these boys have ever had -

 making it to the championship

and WINNING!

These boys have transformed in so many ways. 

It was bittersweet to have the season end - knowing they wouldn't be able to play together again next year.  But we had amazing experiences!

Treydon has grown so much and I have seen him learn to work together with his team as they became a family.

The Green Machine Family

I am not the biggest sports fan,

but I sincerely enjoyed watching these boys play.

Thanks to all the boys for turning over a new leaf in my book!!!
