Amrika Baptism invite Pictures

The other day I took Amrika out to take pictures for her Baptism invites. She is such a good poser she loves to get her picture taken, I am so glad I have one at least that likes it. I did get one of the boys and that was a miracle. Anyway I thought I would share them because she is just so cute. I couldn't keep them all to myself. There are more I might post later I just got tired of uploading.

The boys camping trip!

Last weekend was fathers and sons. Ryan decided not to go with what the ward did and do his own thing. He took them up to Wrightwood and they slept in the back of the van. They watched a movie and then went to bed. When they woke up they went on a hike. Davin loved the hike. He was so excited to go camping he was counting down the days for a week. I am glad Ryan is such a good daddy and makes sure he spends as much time as possible with his kids.

Going Private!

Okay I really hate to do this but after much thought and consideration we have decided to go private with our blog. So if you want to keep up to date on our family. Please make sure I have your emails so that you will be able to see it. I know! I know! Not another person going private but we live in a strange world. Email me your email if I don't have it, call me, or for you facebookers send me a message.

Mother's Day Weekend!

Sand Monsters

I started off my Mother's Day weekend on Friday by going and getting a pedicure with Amrika and my friend. My friend had a birthday recently so I took her there as a present and of course when Amrika heard she begged to come too. We had a lot of fun being pampered.
Yesterday we went to the beach. It was a lot of fun. The kids really enjoyed finding crabs and touching the anemones. While we were finding crabs I stopped to take a picture of the kids on the rocks. I was about ready to take it when I looked at Davin's face it was the look of shock looking directly behind me then he yells mom and points right behind me. I screamed because I thought something was going to attack me. Anyway there was a baby seal up against the rocks laying there. All these people had walked by it all day long and no one even noticed it. We felt bad for the little guy. He looked like he was injured. We told the lifeguards and they called animal control to come help it. I have officially became addicted to boogie boarding. If you didn't have to go far out in the ocean to surf I would totally try it but I can't keep my mind off of sharks still. As always we can't wait for our next beach trip.

Today I woke up to a wonderful cinnamon french toast breakfast. Then I got to open my presents. I got exactly what I wanted WII fit, exercise clothes, and runners watch. I don't know what it is really called. But I was super excited. Then Ryan made me yummy shish-kabobs for dinner. It was a really good weekend, thanks to my wonderful husband and three beautiful children.

Kite Flying

A couple weeks ago for family home evening we went over to the park and flew the kites that the Easter Bunny brought. It was the perfect day to fly kites. All we had to do was through the kites in the air and stand there. The wind did all the work. Ryan and I usually don't have the best experience with kites so we were happy that it actually worked out this time. The kids loved it and want to do it again all ready.
