Fourth of July has always been very special to me. We always go to the cabin and to the rodeo in Oakley. I love getting the kids all dressed up in red white and blue and taking cute pictures. I took the kids on a hike the morning of the rodeo and then we watched the action. After the rodeo they do an amazing fire works show.
I took the kids to the cabin this summer and we played on the shore of Smith and More house lake. They had so much fun throwing things in the water and also getting soaked in the water. We got a close look at a moose and a little chipmunk. We love the cabin.
Abigale and daddy went to the Princess Festival as a gift from grandma Wigington for her birthday. It was so cute. I think the boys wished they could stay!
On May 19, 2010 Abigale graduated from preschool. She will miss it dearly but is ready to move on to kindergarten. She did the cutest performance with darling songs and when it was over the got to make their very own ice cream sundae. SUPER CUTE!
Gavin and Abigale had a carnival party on May 15, 2010. Gavin turned 7 and Abigale turned 5. They had so much fun. We had all kinds of games that they could play to earn tickets and then they visited Ethan at the prize table to redeem them. We had yummy cupcakes with colorful sprinkles. They even got to get their faces painted. They are growing so fast I can hardly stand it.
GAVIN: Mom can we go swimming tomorrow? Because then we can have our sins get washed away. Are the sins like little black itchy guys?
I was spraying lysol around the house to kill some germs and Gavin said, "Mom hurry, come and spray some of that over here, I just let a stinky".
My kids new Years resolutions: Ethan- Read the book of mormon and listen better Abigale- Keep her room clean Gavin- Eat more cake
GAVIN: Abigale are you from China because I can't understand what you are saying.
MOM: Abigale it is time for a nap. ABIGALE: Mom I don't want a nap because I will have a bad dream. MOM: Well try to have a good dream. GAVIN: Yea, what if you have a dream of a guy picking his nose.
ABIGALE: Mom what does A-V-O-N- spell?
ABIGALE: Sophia do you have pink eye? SOPHIA: No I have brown eyes. ABIGALE: Oh I am sorry, I am so lucky I have blue eyes and pink ones.
As Gavin was holding his dinosaur flosser he said mom we need to do my fossiling.
MOM: Abigale why didn't you go to sleep? ABIGALE: Because I don't like to sleep.
ABIGALE: Gavin look at these pomatoes (tomatoes), they grew out of the mud.
GAVIN: Mom I have an idea. For Christmas we can throw a cake and a card up to Jesus and that says we love him. Is that a good idea?
Mom: Gavin put your towel back on, you can't be naked in front of people. GAVIN: Then can I be naked behind people?
My friend told Ethan that he was such a great boy and she loves having him come over to there house to play. He said, " Yea I get that a lot." She said does that make you feel good inside? Ethan responded, "Well it makes my mom feel good!"
ABIGALE: Mom are dinosaur chicken nuggets made from dinosaurs?
ABIGALE: Mom I want to wear my tinker bell swimming suit for my bath because it is for swimming and for having a bath.
ABIGALE: Mom I don't want hand sanatizer..... It is very spicy.
ABIGALE: Mom are you thinking that I am very cute? MOM: Yes I am, you are so cute! ABIGALE: Are you very cute? MOM: Yes I am. ABIGALE: Staring at me for a few moments, but that shirt isn't very cute.
ABIGALE: Mom I want to get married. MOM: When you are 25. ABIGALE: But you didn't get married? MOM: Yes I did almost 10 yrs ago. ABIGALE: But I didn't see you.
GAVIN: Mom I want to hear the song " Michael" MOM: I am sorry I don't know what song that is GAVIN: Number 7 MOM: Oh " Hi ho" the seven dwarfs
GAVIN: Abby do you like this song? ABIGALE: Yes what is it? GAVIN: Hocapontas..... (Pocahontas)
I am 30 years old and the mother of 4 beautiful children. I have a incredible husband named Aaron whom I love very much. I have lived in Utah all my life but growing up went on my vacations to other states. I love being a mom, enjoy hanging out with my friends and don't know what I would do without my own mom.
