Bikerzz

What fun! This week end we all rode our bike to the boat-nik down here in lil of GP, we caught the end of the parade and went to the little carnival! There we 7 adults 5 kids and 1 infant what a sight!

We could have been in the parade!! Berklee of course crashed...my fault really...but being the super kid she is jumped up and did not shed a tear, got back on her bike and kept on going! We had so much fun riding our bike this week end!

Our family ROCKS!!

BIG WEEK END 4 BEENZ

Berklee has wanted to cut her hair for awhile now...I have not wanted to,

I just like to be able to do it! and it's just so cute! Well she talked me into it...and I guess it is her hair after all! So I cut her hair...kind of scary don't look to close, it's not to even! But she was right it is ADORABLE...I love it! She look so cute!

After all the hair cutting, at church she was wiggling her tooth during sacrament, and it really needed to come out, it was so loose that she really looked like a snaggle tooth when she would talk, so Chris said let me wiggle it and pulled it right out, you can imagine how reverent our bench was!! She was so excited! I think she looks so cute and big with her front teeth missing!! What a big girl!

Marlee is 1.....

Wow, it's crazy how fast time passes, I feel old every time I say that and I find myself saying that a lot lately! It really feels as if time just goes so faster and faster and I don't like it!

Marlee was my hardest pregnancy by far! I had never been sick with the other 2 and got so sick with her! The worst part is I would wake up every single night between 12 and 1 and start throwing up! Sometimes 2 times sometimes 8....yuck! So I was so tired during the day! Just yuck, then we started building our house, trying to rent our old house ( can I just say Nightmare!) and I got in a car accident and started bleeding, anyway, it was a hard time! So I thought for sure she was going to be a hard baby!

Thank Goodness I was wrong! She has been my easiest!! She is so happy! So much fun, So easy going! The poor thing is always napping on the fly, going to dance and soccer and piano and play dates and school plays! She is known by all the kids at Berklee's school, I volunteer there and she always comes along in her front pouch, so kids are always walking by and saying hi Marlee and Chris goes...do we know them?

So this last Monday she turned 1! We had the fam over

and had a little party for her! I made her little princess cake and had a little to much fun with it, she opened some presents, with the help of her sibling of course, and picked at her cake! She got into it a little bit, but not he dive in I was hoping for!

She is such a sweet good girl and we are so grateful that we could be blessed to have her come to our family!!

!

First Birthdays are so fun! It makes me sad it has come and gone already!!

Funny Turkey!!

So we have tuns, seriously tuns of wild turkeys that rome all

around our house!!! We see about 25 a day!

They are so funny, and they can actually run pretty fast, so the other day

this retarded turkey caught his reflection in the car and was fluffing his feathers and making his loud gobbing sound and pecking at his self in the car for..........2 hours!!! We were laughing so hard! Mason stood in the window and

was cracking up!! I think is would have stayed longer if Mase didn't run

after it! It pooped all over the drive way, they get annoying! I can't believe some talented

hunter has not taken out at least the lame one...(hint hint, Emment:)!!)

Anytime you want to come back and try again I'd

love to see the outfit and get up again!!!...FUNNY!!

Happy Mothers Day to me!!

So I know this is old news but I've been busy! So for Mothers Day Chris and the kids.....got me this Venus backpack from REI and a matching sleeping bag! Kind of a funny gift,

but I love it!

We have always loved to hike together but the last 2 summers have been taken up with Marlee.

First I was prego and sick...yuck!...and then she was a new born!

We have never hiked over night together though, so this should be a new adventure, we are planning a one night-er this summer, we'll hike in 7 miles camp and them back out the next day! Not to bad....just the 2 of us!

Should be fun!

Matching...

So here are my cute girls..matching again! I love doing this, who knew it was so much fun!! I'm so glad Berklee is into it!!!

Mothers day. . . .

I think the best word I could use to describe my Mother would be giving!

*She is so giving of herself, always willing to pitch in, wither it be time, service or money she is willing.

* She is so giving with her calling, not many RS Presidents run all over town getting things signed and delivering food, visiting and cooking and cleaning for women of their ward.......she does, and with the right attitude.

*She is so giving to her children, she babysits, helps clean my house, supports me when I am sad or having a hard time, still will pick up the pieces

when I mess up or take to much on! She is giving to all her children, all in different ways, I'm probably the most needee of the bunch!!!

*She is so giving to her grandchildren, she is picking them up, dropping them off, donating to there schools, paying for their piano lessons, cheering at their soccer games, holding them for shots ( when their own mother is to wimpy!) loving them and playing with them, and being an example of what a women should be!

*She is so giving to her husband ( my Daddy!) She cooks for him in the middle of the night when he's been out late doing church work, or any kind of work! He'll get home at 11 and be in the mood for cookies and she jumps up to make em, because she wants to and because she loves him!!!

She is so giving of her body, she had been in lots of pain in the last couple of year...(it makes my heart sad) but does that slow her down...not a chance, she still holds my baby when it kills her wrists, vacuums the church when her feet hurts so bad they feel like they might fall off!! The list is endless!!

She is who I want to be...no women loves like her and is so selfless

with their giving, never asking for anything in return! Plus is so fun!! What other 50 something year old goes wake boarding, hiking, rafting, riding any ride we can talk her into, swimming in the freezing pool, running with her grand kids at their jog a thon in front of other adults...she is just so much fun!! I love you Mom with all my heart, I know WE came the long way but Heavenly Father knew what he was doing when he sent us all to you!!!

Thank you for always

giving!!!

My Husband.....??

What would ever be appealing to anyone to do something like this....? I will never understand my handsome husbands obsession with JUMPING!!! HE jumps off EVERYTHING, the higher the better, and not just that, he jumps over everything as well. Garbage cans, polls...me!! I try to remind him he has 3 kids....no more jumping off anything more than 20 feet high, especailly not something 70 feet!!!

But he just smiles and says why, I have life insurance!!!

My Mason Man. . .

Mason 1 year
Mason 2nd Birthday

Mason 3rd Birthday

Every year on Masons birthday I take his picture in this shirt. It's just one of Chris's white shirts, but it's the same one every year. As I look back at these pictures I am awed and amazed by a couple of things, 1st of all, how big he has gotten, 2nd how Marlee is his spitting image! 3rd how I am so grateful to have a son...what a specail place a boy holds in his mothers heart! (be good 2 your mother in law, your husband was hers 1st!) 4th how much my photography has improved, wow I was bad!

I LOVE this little guy, what joy he brings

to my world! He is always making his sisters laugh and continuously cracking Chris and I up with the hilarious things he says!

It's late but

Happy 3rd Birthday to my little Man!!!
