My babies




Now we can see where these babies get their big cheeks from. Hahaha! Love this picture!





Why am I so obsessed with taking pictures of these babies? Probably because they grow up to fast. I do not want to forget a thing!

Family time!


One thing I love about Clint working for Fedex is that he gets a good amount of time off of work throughout the year.  Vacation bidding takes place sometime during the spring. That is when he chooses what weeks he wants off. Some how we over looked this week and didn't realize that he had it off. Lets just say it was a sweet surprise for us. It has been really nice not having a vacation planned. We have been just been hanging out and enjoying our little family. 


Cohen and Cannon lined up a load of cars one morning. 


Cannon made those sweet binoculors out of legos. 


Coloring time! 





We also made cookies... too many cookies... so we gave some away.


Then we went and visited Fedex.  (Clint needed to go get some papers.)


Here is the view from right in front of the Fedex station. We love St. George. BEST. PLACE. EVER.

18 Months and More



Jacee just hit the 18 month mark. Crazy! Clint has this week off of work so he wanted to take her to the doctor for her appointment. She weighed in at 24 pounds and was in the 60th percentile. Her height was in the 44th percentile.  Clint said she cried anytime Dr. Marsden got close to her to check her.  She had to get two shots :(  Here are some random facts about Jacee. 

She'll repeat anything we tell her to say.

She knows how to get whatever she wants. 

She has the whole family wrapped around her little finger. (Yes, even the boys baby her.)

She's a mama's girl. (Actually both a mama's girl and daddy's girl but I tell myself she is.)

She is the boss and she knows it. 

She still loves her stuffed lamb and pacifier.

She is getting wild and loves to act crazy.

She loves to eat junk food. Sometimes she won't even eat dinner.  I joke saying she just wants to save her calories for dessert.

She's the sweetest little girl ever!!

We all love you so much little Jacee girl!  


Tonight for family home evening, we went to the church and played basketball. We like to go there when the weather gets chilly because it is somewhere for the kids to run around and get their energy out! I love this picture because it shows Jacee doing what she does best- bossing her brothers around! Hahaha!


Love this!





Cohen and dad one on one! Clint will take a win while he can get one.  In a few years, Cannon and Cohen will be whooping their dad's butt at ball!

Just keeping it real.

Clint had the great idea to go to the Dixie State College Basketball game. For the record, I wanted to decline because of the already big day with no naps we had. After much persistance from Clint and the kids, I decided to just go with the flow. 


Cannon boy showing his basketball ticket. So HAPPY! (not).


This boy pooped his pants... oops... I took him to the bathroom and apparently he didn't finish... 


This girl did not want to sit still and wanted to climb... scary!



They would only sit still when there were treats around!


Jacee would crawl on the nasty floor to try and get to the stairs to climb on! 




Needless to say, we didn't stay to finish the game. But it's all good because the kids are getting there much needed sleep now! Oh, and the Denver Nugget's mascot Rocky was at the game. He was pretty entertaining for the time that we were at the game. 

Let the good times roll!


Meet Jinny and Song. They are exchange students from South Korea that have been staying at Clint's mom and dad's house for the last 2 months. They are leaving tomorrow (Sunday). So Clint's mom thought before they left it would be fun for them to ride and drive a four wheeler.  We borrowed my dad's four wheelers and brought them out to Little Valley for the day. It was a great idea because it turned out to be a very fun Saturday! Great idea Grandma Gaye!


The kids had a blast doing a lot of fun things.


Like jumping on the tramp.



These kids love keeping a captive audience.


They were playing crack the egg here. Clint was the egg cracker. It didn't take long... 


Grandpa Bruce LOVED the four wheelers. Rumor has it he just might be getting one now... ? We shall see.


"Best day Ever!!"


Taking sweet Jacee girl on a ride.


Jacee LOVED digging in the sand box. She sat there and dug for a half an hour straight. 


I love this picture. All the kids in their own world having a good 'ol time. 





These kids love playing with their daddy!! He was going under the tramp pretending to be a monster and popping up. They loved it!!


Doggy-pile???



Ring around the rosies. What a good big bro.


Cannon getting ready to do his trick!


Go COCO!


Handsome boys!


More crack the egg.


Colleen and Jacee. Building something good. I'm sure!


Woo Woo!


Jacee girl doing her summersault! I love this picture too!


Spoiled Cannon getting pushed around on the bike.


Cohen is definitely a swing boy!


Jacee relaxing. 


Cannon LOVED this. 


and this!





Jacee had to have a turn in the car.


More swinging with Song.


Cannon pushing his bike up the hill to ride down.


Riding down.. This was right before his little biff... Ouch!


Jacee has no fear and loves to climb!


and of course Coco too!



This is what it looked like when Clint would get back with a four wheeler. All the kids running to him to get the next ride.


Clint and his old man. What a dramatic picture. Haha!


Jinny and Song- It was great getting to know you two! Thanks for being so nice to us!
