I have been loving a show called Vampire Diaries and in September the third season started so I had a little premier party my sister and a few friends. It was so much fun. I usually don't have time to watch T.V but this is one show that I make time for!
Instead of buying those horrid school pictures my neighbor did head shots for anyone who wanted them. They turned out great! Ethan is almost 12, Gavin is 8, Abigale is 6, and Dawson just turned 4. I can't believe that one baby is going on 12 and the youngest baby is 4. Where did the time go.
It was a gorgeous evening in September so I pulled out a chair and the kids played out front riding scooters, and bikes and playing catch. It was so fun to just sit back and relax with the kids. Abigale said, "Mom I love it when you come out an watch us." It made me a little sad because now with four kids I don't have the time that I had with Ethan. I would go outside with him everyday and we would play. I guess I just have to enjoy the times like these while I can.
Our friends took us boating in September in their new boat. It was great especially because we sold our boat and have been missing it. It was a little chilly but we all got in the water and had a blast. Well everyone but Dawson, he just loved riding in the boat. Dawson has been asking ever since that day when we can go boating in the Botts boat.
On August 23 it was the first day of school. Summer went by way to fast and I am so sad that they are starting another school year. Abigale started 1st grade which means that she is in school all day with the boys and even eats school lunch. She was so excited but it was a hard day for me. Gavin started 3rd grade and has a great teacher. He will have a wonderful year. Ethan is actually in 6th grade. Wow time sure flew by. He is doing amazing and is very talented. Little Dawson will be home with me for a couple more years and then he will be gone as well. He wanted to get in on the photo action! What great kids I have!!
My brother and his wife went to East Canyon one weekend in July with Grandma and Papa and we asked if we could spend the day with them. The kids had a great time playing mini golf, eating, and playing at the park.
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.
