Happy Birthday Audrey!!!

Happy Birthday little Ladybug

Her first Halloween....

I could never have imagined the joy I found in daughter.

I think Heavenly Father each day for blessing our family with your beautiful spirit.
My two precious gifts.

Still our Little Ladybug.

I asked Audrey what she wanted for her birthday, Ladybugs or Strawberry Shortcake. I even showed her a picture of each on the computer, I asked her the same question reversing the order....you know, sometimes they just say what you said first, no matter what it is. And each time she wanted ladybugs.

She wanted that doll out of the box immediately.

Two things that make Audrey special...

1. She has a tender heart and is always willing to share

2. She has the silliest sense of humor

Pumpkins all around....

We took the kids to a pumpkin patch this last weekend.
There was a maze made out of hay bales, which wasn't too difficult since a toddler could see over the top, but the kids loved it.

Audrey's lost......

Noah just wants to climb out and go wreak havoc on something else.

In addition to lots of pumpkins, we saw turkeys, goats, chickens, quail, and bunnies.

My Heart Melted....

When I came around the corner and Noah came running up to me and said "Look mom, I made BYU!!!"

Audrey's first trip to the Dentist

This little girl is such a trooper!!! She did so good for the dentist. She even got an A on her report card!!!!! I thought she might do ok since she loves having her teeth brushed at home. Whenever she sees me brushing my teeth she wants her teeth brushed right away.

Noah's first day of Preschool

Noah is growing up!!!

This was his first day of school. I can't believe he's old enough to do "school" things.

I'm a THIEF!!!!

AND MY KIDS LOVE IT!!!!

I was blog hopping, again, and found this super cute idea that I just had to steal!!!

Every Monday is called Muffin Tin Monday and we eat our lunches out of a fun tin. This is the first muffin tin that I did, it's their basic lunch just put into a different container.

This website is amazing and she has some great ideas for the holidays....

I WILL BE STEALING MORE!!!!

Escape from the HEAT!!!

For the Fourth of July we quickly raced out of Vegas to some cooler weather up north!!

Some pretty awesome fireworks in Idaho Falls!!! This is our standard family picture, sitting in camping chairs holding children...we have the same one from last year, only the kids are younger.

Noah and Audrey's at their newest little cousin's blessing.

Audrey loves brushing her teeth!!!

First time fishing.

I think he liked torturing the worm the most!!!

Standing on the side of Grandpa's barn. This picture just cracks me up...Noah yelling at Audrey, Audrey totally ignoring him....typical!!!

The kids had tons of room to race their jeeps, and they did....all day!!!!

Before I say anything about this picture, I am NOT complaining about the cold!!! We actually had to wear pants and jackets during the evening and I LOVED it!!

So the kids went swimming one day and when we got out we needed cover ups and a blanket to warm up!!! It was GREAT!!!

I kept reminding myself that it's 110 back in Vegas.

LAGOON!!!!!

This is just the cutest photo ever!

We told Audrey to hold her hands up on the ride and she did, what an obedient little girl!!!

Future pilot????

During meltdown time this was the only thing that calmed her nerves...and mine!!

We also had a chance to drive over to see my Aunt and Uncle, cousins, and family. The drive was long, the day was short, but we had a blast.
