This week was crazy. Macey's first birthday, Marin's sixth birthday, Marin's first birthday party, the first day of Preschool for Jace and the first day of Kindergarten for Marin!!! Not to mention we moved into a HOME 2 weeks ago and you know how that is!! (pics of that to come, gotta get the whole before and after going on!!) We're getting around to the projects I want to start (like painting!!). We had a great Labor Day weekend with the LeeMaster's coming up with San and Sadie. We went to the SEIS fair and the kids loved it. Then Sunday we jumped in the car and went to Bear Lake to go camping for our "annual" get together with the Hansen's and Lindhardts. GREAT times!! This is what life is all about!! The memories! Thanks for everyone for all your help with everything and those of you who planned and organized to make things happen this week. WE LOVED IT!!
Our Baby is ONE!!
She was not shy when it came to diggin' in!!
Just two days later, Marin celebrated her 6th birthday!! What a big girl she is becoming!! We love you Marin. You are such a sweet, beautiful girl. We are so lucky to have you!
The only picture I got of the entire party, and this was the last 2 minutes!! Watching The Young Black Stallion, it was a cowgirl/cowboy inspired shin dig!
This is just a happy girl who enjoys all aspects of life. We love you Macey!!
Our big boy on his first day of Preschool! Jace is getting so big. He loves preschool and learning. He is such a good brother to both his sisters. We are so blessed! We have such sweet kids!!
I know it doesn't look like it, but he INSISTED I get a picture of his back pack.
Marin's first day of Kindergarten!!
(Didn't I just have her??)
Anyone who knows this little girl knows this is the "K Mom, now take my picture like this." pose!
And after school she got right into her "homework". She loves school and learning... I hope she always does!
Finally!!! She lost her front tooth! She's been going around all week with a snaggle tooth hanging on by a thread and REFUSING to let anyone touch it or try to help her get it out.
Her cousin Esi was here to share in the excitement!
Jace milking a "cow" at the fair...
Marin thought it was fun, but a little "gross"!!
There was a little hands on area at the fair where they used fake animals so the kids could practice milking, brushing and lots of other fun stuff.
Future pooper scoopers! Little do these kids know how much of this their mother has done in her life!! Zephyr Ranch memories came flooding back! :)
This is how Macey enjoyed the fair!
Chad and Melissa and their fam came up to say hi, see our new house and so we all went to the fair. We had so much fun. We love you LeeMasters!
Sadie came up with Grandma and we love it!! Thank Sade! And I have your straightener so I'll try to mail it soon!!
We love Grandma!
The best back poppin' chica in town. Matt is still in a daze over the job you did on his back Melis!
Camping at Porcupine campground in St Charles which is next to Bear Lake! Perfect weather! Good Friends! Amazing food (thank you PAUL!!!) and so much fun!
Macey was so much help putting the tent up and down!!
The campsite...
Kids doing what they do best! Getting dirty, having fun and making new friends!
The boys who started it all.... Zach, Matt and Paul. These guys met as nerdy civil engineering students and now, life long friends. I say nerdy only because, I love you all, especially you Mateo, but when you guys start talking engineering talk with force and torque and bla bla bla... it's nerdy. :)
Jace and Caden playing football and being forced to take a picture. Thank guys!
Jessica was a picture magnet. Posing right at the right moments. I loved her "Mom, look like you love me" instructions to Jill before a picture was to be taken! Classic!
The two organizers. Jill and Marci, you guys rock. Getting this all planned and then coming and spending 2-3 nights while PREGNANT! You two are amazing!!
These two little cuties kept busy and were so good. Camping definitely agrees with them!
A couple of weekends ago we went to Logan so I could run the 1/2 marathon there with Jennie and Candela. It was so fun. Wish we took more pics. Thank you Hancock's for letting us stay with you, it was a blast!
The kids always have fun cheering us on! We love their support!! And the hubby's, for getting everyone up and ready to meet us at the finish line!! Wouldn't be worth it without you all!
The 3 Amiga's! Me, Jennie and Candi! It was so much fun! Thanks girls!! Again next year? And Jennie, 3 weeks till we conquer St George!!!
Here are some videos I decided a little late to add... Enjoy!
Marin with her new birthday bike...
Happy Birthday Marin...
Macey enjoying her cake (and eating it too!!)
Happy birthday Macey... oops!
*Disclaimer* No one was hurt in the shooting of this video... promise!
The newest member of our family... Jack Blackie (as Marin calls him, it's really just Jack.)
The 3 VERY happy new owners...
This is how he rode the entire way from Grace to Blackfoot! (is that legal?)
Trying to teach him to poop in the field, not the yard... we'll see how this goes, so far, no luck!
Who's happy we have a new puppy?????
The second they roll out of bed in the morning, they are with Jackie Boy!
