D A T I N G my husband!

2012-01-25T14:14:00.000-08:00

Bob was able to get us some sweet suite tickets to the ZAC BROWN concert! Awesome concert & fun night with great friends!

Rick & Ambur, B&D, & Mike & Angie

Bob took some clients to the Jazz game & I was able to tag along. The Meyers had tickets too, so we drove together, got some dinner, & got some half-time goods together! I love that Rick always has his camera with him...so the combination of him & I & hangin out= lots of pictures!

We have been friends with the Meyers for 12 years now! These two have always been a great example of keeping an awesome marriage! I sware these two only get stronger through the ups & downs of life. We always have such a fun time with them & are so gratful for their friendship!

Down town get away for Bob's birthday! I am not the most creative gift giver like my husband, but I figured good food, a night away from the kids, & hangin out with me would be the perfect gift! The icing on the cake was that the Meyers came with us! A night to remember!

Who is this guy? Terrorist Rick!

Holiday Break...

2012-01-25T11:43:00.000-08:00

The first two weeks of January, we had unusual warm weather, which was awesome! We took full advantage & got outside to enJoy it. The boys even played some full court B-ball games in just jerseys & shorts. Since there has been NO SNOW to sled, my kids opted to pull each other in the sled on the driveway & circle.

Mom pulling these two!

Nick was so HAPPY to be outside!

More slumber parties!

Boy cousin sleepover at our house. McDonald's, Ace Ventura, late night, Monster Breakfast burritos made by dad, & a football game. These boys are such great examples to each other & get along so well!

I went downstairs to find my big boys just like this! Playing NBA 2k with jerseys hanging off the couch! It made me laugh at these little sports nuts!

Annie went off track with ONE missing Tooth & will go back on with 3 missing! The second front was a must to get out! We could only take the Hill billy for so long. Her nick name was "Hilly" for a short time.

Happy Birthday Daddy B!

2012-01-04T16:30:00.000-08:00

Kids up & ready to go! Mylie was the first up @ 7:45 am, not bad at all! Santa left the kids what they had asked for, so that started off the morning just right!

This kid did not need much to make him completly happy! A cars chair, a few cars, some books, & treats made his day!

Annie & Mylie! BARBIE was a big hit this year at our house!

Luke & Zach were excited about their Jerseys

& helicopters from Santa!

Christmas morning Breakfast included A Egg & sausage casserole & a Cinnamon coffee cake...our tradition!

The girls putting on a performance with their new gear! Mylie picked out that sweet outfit??!

The boys were STOKED about their new robes!

Mylie hit a wall around 6 that night! Just enough sleep to keep her up until 11pm that night!

The girls ended the night with a sleepover in Annie's bed!

I feel bad that I didn't get any pics of our annual Christmas Eve party @ G&G Fredrick's house! That is another favorite tradition of 70+ family members, great food, bingo, Greed, a spiritual thought, & singing aroung the piano.

Also missed pics of Christmas dinner with Papa Tueller, Natty, Adam, & Keyli @ our house! We are so extremly lucky to have incredible family in our lives that make holidays/life so much sweeter!

Hope you all had a great Christmas & New Years! Here's to a fabulous 2012!!!

Some Christmas lead up...

2012-01-01T20:40:00.000-08:00

Loved our tree this year! Very Charlie Brownish which is sooo my style. I would have liked it a bit less full! Bob thinks I'm crazy, he loves the full big beautiful trees!

Annie & Mylie have been having sleepover after sleepover which I love! They really want to share a room, but I can't bring myelf to putting all of their stuff in one room. I told them as long as they sleep good and go to bed on time, they can sleep together anytime!

Baking cookies & decorating! I think they all had about a pound of sprinkles on each cookie!

Our annual 23rd Christmas party with Nanna, Pappa Roni, & Natty! This year we had it at our house which was so great! With our big family, it is nice to stay home! This is one of our favorite nights...Pizza, Bingo, Christmas songs & chimes, Candy cane ice cream, Dunford doughnuts, a visit from SANTA, presents, and then the older kids head to Nanna's for a sleep over, while Mom & Dad get to work helping the elves!

Nick was thrilled this year to open some presents! So fun to have him understand just enough to enjoy it!

The girls in their Christmas outfits from Nanna!

Here is Luke trying to comfort Nick as Santa arrived! Nick was not a fan, to say the least! The picture below speaks for itself. Hopefully next year we can turn that face into a smile!

Zach & Santa! His wish...an Oregan Ducks football jersey

Annie & Santa! Her wish...a Barbie Kareokee CD player

Mylie & Santa! Mylie was so cute this year, absolutly in love with Santa! That look on her face as she was talking to him & her hand practically holding his made my whole night! Her wish...Barbie make-up

Luke & Santa! His wish...An Eagles football jersey! With how big & tuff this boy is, he has one of the sweetest & biggest hearts I know!

The Tueller 5 & Santa

We LOVE this Santa!!! We are not positive he is the real one, but almost! This was the fifth year he has come to see us!

Nanna, SANTA, & Papa Roni! Below...Aunt Natty & Santa

So funny how the Laundry basket, aka "favorite toy", is always ENJOYED, not just glared at with madness for all the loads of dirty cloths, towells, bedding, and so on that go in and out of it much too often! I remember playing in them as a child myself, and vividly remember my sister Jill and I pushing our little brother Nate down the stairs (kinda like a rollercoaster...that lucky kid!), unfortunatly it resulted in a broken arm for him. Anyway, LOVE watching my kids enjoy the SIMPLE things that I remember loving!

The girls in their cute home-ad shirts by Mom! Pretty simple, but thought they turned out cute!

Thanks to my awesome SIL, Andrea, and her fun tradition of Gingerbread houses & ideas that she has shared...I had some favorite neighbors over for a fun night of Gingerbread house decorating, talking, and just a fun night away with girls!

Annie & Mylie...2 little Rock Stars!

Winter Dance Recital!

This was Annie's third year with Dance, but Mylie's 1st!

Mys loved every minute of it,

and even more that she got to follow

in her older sister's footsteps!

Awesome support: Nanna jan, Grandma Fredrick, Aunt Natty, & Papa Roni!

Merry Christmas to all!

Thanksgiving Weekend

2011-12-05T09:44:00.000-08:00

With the extra nice weather, the boys started their Thanksgiving break with some backyard FOOTBALL. Thanksgiving+Fooball+Food+Family+Being Grateful is what this holiday is all about.

Mylie was my big helper in the kitchen! Thanksgiving is all about the good eats!

Our annual day after Thanksgiving tradition! Cutting down our Christmas tree & playing in the snow! We enjoyed the day with the Butler & Beins families! It is always one of the funnest days of the year and always a great adventure...you never know what your ganna get! This year included: Tueller 4.wheeler not starting, Butler CAR not starting, & Beins keys locked in their car. After jumping the 4.wheeler twice, the Butlers car twice, & spending an hour trying to avoid breaking the Beins car window to get the keys...We traveled home with all working vehicles, but one broken window. Lucky for the cardboard & duck tape, the Beins got home safe & sound. Although we had some bumps in the road, those are the things that make this tradition even better. Thanks for the awesome day of great memories guys!

Annie, Bentlee, & Ella all with a missing bottom tooth

This is what happens when the older sisters tell their little brothers to kiss. Nick & Case, so funny!

The handy team trying to break in!

One fun weekend = one exhausted family!

The kids trimming the tree!

The Monday after Thanksgiving, we have our tradition of a FHE Christmas lesson, & a few presents under the tree. The kids each got new PJ's (Luke & Zach have been begging for sweats, so they got those instead), a chocolate advent calendar, & a new ornament for the tree. Such a fun way to Kick of Christmas!

Our Fredrick Adult Christmas party...always a FAV for Bob & I! Just adults, good food, & some Christmas fun!

Dad & Mom Fredrick

THANKFUL!

2011-11-24T01:29:00.000-08:00

Happy Thanksgiving all! I become a bigger fan of Thanksgiving every year, probably because I have more and more to be Thankful for each year! I think as I have gotten older I just really appreciate what this holiday is all about. Such a perfect day to spend with people we love, cook, eat the grandest of food, clean, relax, play, & COUNT the many, many blessings we all have. Although there are many hardships, trials, battles, weakness's we all face, the blessings are still there. I am so grateful for many things, but today mostly for family, health, a warm home, being a wife & mother, living in the USA, FREEDOM, a hard working husband & his job, good kids, the Gospel in my life & home, my passions, good movies, good food to enjoy, amazing examples all around me, my neighbors, and the energy I have. I am so thankful for all the good people in my life, hope you all have a great day!

Nick...18 months

2011-11-24T01:09:00.000-08:00

I am head over heels for this little guy! 18 months has created a busy boy for sure! Nick @ 18 months...Quick, loud, dances to all music & boy does he know how to move!, chocolate milk, eggs, suckers, ice cream, CARS, balls, Woody, Toy Story, loves anything that makes noise, loves the attention from 4 bigger siblings...favorite people for sure, happy camper, screams "MOM" & points until he gets what he wants, snuggler, blanket & pet doggy all make this boy who he is. Lovin our NICKX!

Another Year, another DEER!

2011-11-24T00:44:00.000-08:00

Bob went to the Missouri cabin for the 2011 deer hunt with my dad. They were both successful in getting a deer. My Dad was the first, getting his Saturady, and a CHAMPION of a deer it was! Bob got his the Monday after, a great deer as well. From what Bob has told me, it sounds like it was a great week! Bob is so gratful to be able to go hunt in such an awesome place, spend such quality time with my Dad, hang with the cool Missouri boys, eat "Manly" food all week, play cards, hunt, scout, & work on the cabin property... a definate mans place this is!

Dad Fredrick, with his MONSTER!

BOO YA!

Two of my favorite men...I am so glad these two have the relationship they have!

My Dad, Steve Bloomberg (One of my Dad's greatest friends, & becoming one of Bob's favorite guys. He is the one who inspired the Missouri cabin.), & Bob!

This is where Bob shot his deer!

The Missouri Lake house, Fall 2011! These pics Bob took are making me want to get back to this awesome place asap!

Lets hear it for the GIRLS!

2011-11-23T23:45:00.000-08:00

Oh to be a kid again, a spoiled one for sure! That is just how I felt... being away for 4 days, 3 nights, NO KIDS (leaving 30 little ones behind, between the 6 of us) NPB.Cali, 6 sisters, one cute Mama, Newport Coast Marriott, Cheesecake factory, shopping, Corner bakery twice, shopping, late night movies, hot tubbin, running through the sprinklers late at night in our swimming suits,Ruby's, aerobics in the pool, getting my stomach workout in just by LAUGHING so hard, going the wrong way...but, the houses were sure nice to look at, NPB Temple session, Charlies Chilies, Seaside Donuts, Pedi.Mani.Massage, Shopping, California Pizza Kitchen, DANCING & groovin every chance we got, being SILLY, "Jeepers"...we will pass that down to generations!, "You would love to...". Baja Fresh, Cruisin in the Dodge Caravan. Costco twice & Target...Seriously, can we not get enough of these two! Morning walks down Crystal Cove beach, Newport Pier, Jack's Surf shop, Sprinkle's cupcakes, Trader Joe's, Zuppa's, "Young Victoria", "The Holiday", & "Ellen, Here & Now", talking, advising, listening, learning, growing...Just being together, the absolute best part.
We all have different strengths & weakness's, different challenges, different celebrations, different lives, different personalities, but together, we BUILD each other UP and learn from one another! I love these 6 so much! They all INSPIRE me to want to be a better wife, mother, friend, & person! That 4 days seems like a dream now, but a SWEET dream it was!

This & that...

2011-11-23T22:37:00.000-08:00

These two, Caleb & Zach, who are back door neighbors and connected at the hip, have a new hobbie of writing and making football plays. They think about the plays, WRITE/draw the plays, then go outside and perform the plays. Gotta love these FOOTBALL fans!

Our cutest neighbor, Asia, put together a CHEER CAMP for her 10 hr. YW project. My girls were lucky enough to have 6 friday afternoons of camp & then a darn cute performance on the final week. It was a favorite camp for my girls and the recital was so fun to watch.

Annie, Asia, & Mylie. THANKS ASIA!!!

Luke's team ended up losing to Alta in the Championship! It was a sad lose, but a good, hard fought, game! This last football season was such a fun one to be apart of. It will be great to have a break, but know that the anticipation for next year will come soon enough. Zach is excited to start his first round of pads next year...two boys in pads next year...wish me luck!

Caden & Jake Meyers & Zach cheering on Luke

These awesome friends came to cheer on Luke in the FREEZing cold weather. Thanks Meyer boys!

Luke's football banquet at one of his FAV spots, Chuckarama! It was a fun night to honor the awesome coach's & great team.

Annie lost her first tooth! She was as thrilled as could be about the whole process, especially the tooth fairy...I was the lucky one who got to answer the 20 questions!?

Championship Bound!

2011-11-08T12:10:00.000-08:00

This Gremlin A1 team has worked so hard and played the true spirit of TEAM players... now they are on their way to the Championship game! I am so proud & happy for Luke! It sure would be a sweet victory to win against Alta, but all I really hope for, is for Luke to go into the game with all heart, confidence, & ready to fight for his team. Win or lose, this team has tons of talent & heart, and they are a SUCCESS either way! We love you Luke & are thrilled that you guys have come this far!

Heart of a Champion!

2011-11-02T15:40:00.000-07:00

Luke's coach has been giving out 3 different braclets to 3 different boys after each game the last 3 weeks. The Heart of a Champion, Big Hit, & Lead Wolf! Luke got Heart of a Champion two weeks in a row which was super cool for him!

Trick or Treat!

2011-11-02T15:02:00.000-07:00

Zach, Luke, & Annie ready for their parade @ school!

Adult party at the Butlers! Ya, I'm BRIGHT, & don't really have a name for my costume...just bright & loud; borrowed it from my SIL. Bob is a "hot 70's pimp". We had a great time with some good friends, good food, & awesome entertainment!
Thanks Dave & Jodi!

Happy Halloween 2011!

2011-10-31T07:29:00.000-07:00

Nanna & Papa Roni came over for dinner & cake decorating on the 23rd. Nanna brings all the cake & decor for the kids to each decorate their own "spooky" cake. The kids love this tradition and are each getting very creative!

Ward Halloween carnival sponsered by the YW & YM! The Youth did such a great job with the activities while showing all the kids a fun time! Face Painting, Fish pond, Bean bag toss, Haunted hallway, Doughnuts on a string, & bingo...made for a entertaining night! We have an awesome ward & I am so gratful to be a part of the YW program!

Mylie's Pre.K Field trip & P.C.

2011-10-26T12:53:00.000-07:00

Mylie had her 1st field trip to the
Pumpkin patch last Wednesday.
With my other kids off track, we all
ventured to the PP together!
The Meyer kiddos were on fall break too,
so it was fun for the boys to
have some buddies.

Caden, Luke, Jake, & Zach

Annie, Mylie, & Addy

Nick going for a ride!

Thursday morning we headed up to Park City! Three of my sisters were staying there for the UEA weekend (which we will climb on board for next year!), so everyone in town headed up there to spend the day/evening together.

Annie had her first Kindergarton field trip a month ago to Thanksgiving Pointe Farm. I got to go on the bus with her & hang out with her cute class. It was so nice to just focus on Annie & enJoy the day with her (I even left Nick, which is a RARE occasion). Annie loved the animals, especially the horse named "Annie"!

S U N R I S E...

2011-10-21T08:42:00.000-07:00

While I was out last week in the early AM I couldn't help but take some pics of this glorious morning! Seriously...all I could think about was how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful place! I have been getting up early for the last several months to either work out, clean, write, get things done and have so enjoyed the time for ME. I don't think I will ever be a big "sleep in" girl anymore because of this new precious time that I absolutly adore.

Z-duck update!

2011-10-21T08:07:00.000-07:00

These last several weeks have been all about FLAG FOOTBALL for Zach. If he's not playing in a real game, he's in the back yard playing football with whoever is available. He loves the sport, has his heart in it, and works hard! His team is filled with some of his favorite buddies, who, together have managed to win all but one game. Zach's new nickname lately has been Z-duck...his love & passion for the Oregon Duck football team is stronger than ever. He is a true fan. He is already requesting "only Oregon Duck stuff" for Christmas.

These BOYS from the hood, ready to get another game of Flag Football on! Luke & Zach are so lucky to have so many good kids to hang with!

CORNBELLYS

2011-10-21T07:41:00.000-07:00

CORNBELLYS was a 1st for us this year...and will now be a every year tradition! Such a fun, cute, soooo much to do fall carnival for the kids! We left feeling like we needed more time. Beardall & Beins family made it even better...thanks guys!

Frightmares, Lagoon!

2011-10-15T15:48:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday after Luke's game we cruized down to Farmington where G&G Fredrick took our BIG Fredrick crew to Frightmares, Lagoon. Although it was a little chilly, the kids still had a great time! Annie was able to ride the Colossus & some bigger rides for the 1st time...she was so brave, & had so much fun!

Luke, Zach, Annie, & Bob played a water gun game at one of the game booth's...Luke won & scored this sweet bear for Nick! Nick would not let go of it the entire time!!!

Mylie, Nick, & Grandpa on the Train

Tough game's only make you stonger!

2011-10-15T09:24:00.000-07:00

Luke's Team played Alta last Saturday, which was a super tough game! Unfortunatly our boys went into it intimidated, scared, nervous, and defeated. Alta gave them a game, a tough one for sure, and beat us good. Although it was rough for our boys, I really BELIEVE that loss's are good! They make us better, more humble, stronger, and ready to fight harder. Watch out Alta! We will see you in the Playoffs!

Luke's littlest fan...NICK!

ZOO!

2011-10-08T23:00:00.000-07:00

We have been off track & have gotten away to some favorite close by spots...the ZOO being one of those. We met up with a couple of my sisters & Sis in laws for a fun afternoon.

This Tiger was awesome! It came about 2 feet from the glass and hung out for a good 20 minutes. The kids enjoyed every minute!

Some late night Carmel Corn!
Up top...Annie, Peyton,
& Mylie diggin in!

More football & some fans!

Nick's 1st Haircut-Buzz

2011-09-27T10:23:00.000-07:00

Nick got his 1st haircut & was a total champ about it! He had a few tears at the very end, but managed to stay fearless & happy most of it. We still remember Luke & Zach crying the entire time on their 1st haircuts & at times they still do.

BYU pride...we still got it!

2011-09-27T09:08:00.000-07:00

We all tail-gateing before the BYU-uath game! It was fabulous food, fun, & great people! Glad we got to have some EnJoyment before the NO SHOW game! It was so nice of BYU to hand over the game to the Utes on a GOLD platter!

Zach & Crew

Jodi B. & I

The BIG little boys tailgating their little football hearts out!

The boys and I didn't end up going to the game, instead we got to enJoy a fun night @ the Broadway musical "Mary Poppins"! Thanks to my parents who took all the 8 & up grandkids & adults. Zach lucked out & was an exception; he is still 7. Bob is still WISHING he would have come to the musical, since the BYU game WAS, NO GAME AT ALL! Not sure where BYU was that night???

My favorite "littlest" BUDDY!

2011-09-14T20:29:00.000-07:00

I am CHERISHING this little guy so much!

He is always with me...

He is always smiling...

I am so grateful to have this constant buddy...
such a handsome one too!

Tough Guy!

2011-09-14T20:23:00.000-07:00

We were up at my brother Tom's house for a BBQ a couple of weekends ago, when Luke & some of his cousins were riding skate boards. Luke was trying to do some sort of a "cool move" and took a beating with the ground. He chipped half of his front tooth and got all scraped up. He walked away...thankgoodness! Luke is one tough kid!
Thanks to Dr. Adam Van leeuwen for the great Dental work...you would never know!

"Crazy HAIR day" at school

I Can't believe my baby girl is getting "Big", big enough for school. So glad I still have her around for the most part...the 4.5 hrs. a week will be just enough time for a Costco run & maybe a run with Nick.

I LOVE this sweet girl so much!

Annie starts KINDERGARTON!

2011-09-14T17:30:00.000-07:00

Little Miss Annie started Kindergarton this fall! She was so ready with nothing holding this GIRL back.

Oh how I LOVE the bus! More than you know...I count it as a major blessing!

She already had a good friend, Ella, to start with. There they go...so excited!

What is this?

2011-09-14T17:09:00.000-07:00

This seems to be the norm lately...Nick getting dressed up by his 2 sisters! They think it is the funniest thing in the world and lucky for them Nick secretly likes it!

The stroller is going a little far! We might need these pix one day to black mail Nick when he is older.

Nick trying to escape the 3 little misfits at the top of the stairs...Peyton B., Annie, & Mylie!

I caught an OWL...yup, I really did!

2011-08-20T11:17:00.000-07:00

I better write this story before it fades from my brain! Wednesday night in Missouri, around 9pm at night, all the boys & myself went out for some night fishing. It was dark, humid, & being in a Lake decided NOT to bring my camera...BUMMER! We were out for about 15 mins when Bob was teaching me how to cast & give me the 411 on fishing. He also caught a Bass on his first cast out, giving us all great HOPE for some hungry fish! Right away, I feel in love with the whole experience. Another 15 mins goes by and I decide to shoot my cast out the opposite side of the boat that I had been working on. BRILLANT, I had one! But wait, this wasn't a fish, it was a bird, I could see wings, big ones. I yell, "I got one, I got a BIRD!" Bob thought I was crazy and wrong, until he shines the spotlight & see's the EYES of an OWL. My Dad & Bob are in shock and filled with excitment. They explain to me that this DOES NOT HAPPEN, and wonder how on earth I caught an OWL. The OWL must have flown from a tree and caught my cast in mid air. We had to make a strategic plan to get the Owl off my cast & away safley. Bob & my Dad were able to row us to shore & get the owl to walk on land. At this point, my Dad got out with a net & trapped it in. Then Bob, with one hand held the Owl still with an ore & the other hand had to maneuver getting the hook out of one of the Owls Talons. Think of Wolverine's fingers; pretty close to what these owls talons looked like! Ten minutes later, the hook was free from the owl, Bob & my Dad slowly creeped away, & the Owl was off, flying up to the trees. We all felt relieved that the Owl was happy & thriving, & that we had a major COOL experience and fun story to tell. HIGHLITE of the night & and maybe the whole trip. My Dad, husband, & Luke & Zach still can't get over the fact that there daughter/wife/mother caught an OWL fishing! I looked a little cooler in there eyes that night!

This Lake House was a DREAM my Dad started 10 years ago! This land was nothing but a forest of trees when my parents bought it. Starting with building the Lake & the house, everything else has been coming along nicely. It is so fun to go back and see the progress each time. My parents are still working on it full force, but the results have WAY beyond exceeding our expectations. We feel so fortunate to be able to vacation, hunt, & make many memories here!

The back yard...a lake, zip line, dock, diving board, & a fisherman's haven. Below: the little farm house that my parents own on the other side of the lake.

There is an underwater crossing that

we go through every time we enter & exit

the Lake house. The kids have discovered

all the "cool creatures" hangin around there!

Our COUNTRY boys!

2011-08-05T10:10:00.000-07:00

Luke found a NEW love the first day in MISSOURI...
the RANGER! Grandpa was nice enough to teach Luke the skills of the Ranger & also the ways of the Property. Luke caught on fast & became a MASTER of both. My parents have over 400 acres, which makes for some fun & adventurous riding.
...Bob, taking the kids on the Ranger.

My Dad in one of his favorite elements!

Almost every night the boys would go out and SCOPE for DEER.
They saw 30 one night which is pretty exciting for the Hunting that
Bob & my Dad will do in November. I am SLOWLY understanding
the enjoyment of hunting. I think when our kids are older, I will get out & do a little
hunting with Bob & my boys.

The Property is beautiful!

Luke & Zach loved shooting the Red Rider BB Guns!

The boys out checking their pots for fish.

Caught one! It was so humid that my camera fogged right up.

They caught a descent size CAT FISH! The boys helped with the whole process,
even the cutting & getting it ready to EAT. It was some GOOD EATS!

What's a Country BOY
with out some war wounds!
Luke got his from his fall on the Zip line &
Zach got his from the stairs
on the diving board.

Zip Line...too cool!

2011-08-05T08:43:00.000-07:00

The Country Boys...Bob, Luke, Zach, & Grandpa Fredrick.
Ready to break in the ZIP LINE!

LUKE was the 2nd to go after Bob. He came right back to go for a second time & unfortunatly slipped off the bars & feel about 17 ft. into the water. It was for sure a scare & resulted in a massive bruise on his leg on top of getting the wind knocked out of him, but he was super tough and went again the next day. My dad got some motorcyle grips to make sure slipping wouldn't happen again.

There gOes Zach! 7 years old & he never acted scared, until after when he said "I thought I was going to die", but then he goes again & again. He is such a STUD!

Dad...showing off his skills!

The CHEERING crew! Grandma Fredrick & Nick cheering me on!

Bob was in charge of getting some pics of me. This is a sweet one...not even in the air. Such a BLAST!

The Everyday...

2011-06-28T23:10:00.000-07:00

Just about an everyday occurance! Baseball game in the circle.

At a park. Nick LOVES to swing!

These 2 becoming closer playmates each day! Nick worships Mylie. One of the things I want to remember is that Mylie always holds Nicks hands down when I change his Diaper. She is so worried that he will grab the poop!

This GIRL, Mylie, is hillarious!!! She sneaks to everyone's cereal bowl after they are done to steal the left over milk. She LOVES it. Speaking of this cute girl...she is POTTY TRAINED! Yay for me. Down to 1 diaper babe. Mys struggled the first 2 weeks with going #2. Lets just say...her and I had some fights, but now, she is golden. No pullups for this girl, just big girl panties...even at night.

the sprinkler under the tramp is in full force...SUMMER!

Wrapping up Soccer & Dance

2011-06-28T22:54:00.000-07:00

Annie played spring soccer with some fun friends this past spring. I'm not sure if she enjoyed the friends & butterflys in the sky or the soccer more? We will give it a couple more trys to see if my hopes of a "soccer girl" will come true. Her life, her decision...we will have to wait and see.

Coach Butler & his soccer crew! Such a cute team!

Here is Annie & Peyton B.(top), Annie & Anna J. (bottom left), & Annie & Addi M. (bottom right). My little Hip shaking Annie had another fun dance year & another cute recital. Annie knows how to shake it & is so fun to watch!

I am so grateful to be a Mother almost always, but especially today! My eyes fill up with tears just thinking about the reasons why I love motherhood so much. I hope all the mothers, the amazing women who want children, hope for children, teach children, help raise children, nuture children...which is pretty much all women have a wonderful day. I am thankful for all of the examples in my life. You inspire me, build me, lift me up, and make me want to be a better mother, wife, & women. Happy Mothers Day!

APRIL 25th.2011...Luke turns 9

We were up super late Sunday night with the boys, so I decided to get Luke's room decorated before he went to bed, which was about 12:15 am (the morning of his birthday) when he came into his room. Are we horrible parents or what letting them stay up soooo late??? Needless to say, he was surprised & excited!

Luke requested home-ad cinnamon rolls for his birthday breakfast

Lucky for Luke it was the last day of Spring Break...not much beats NO SCHOOL on your birthday!

Bear Lake

2011-05-01T08:46:00.000-07:00

We went up to the Jeffreys Bear Lake cabin over spring break. Debdie J. & I took the kids up Thursday morning. The hubbs and Meyers fam met us up there Friday eveningish. The first 2 days we stayed in doors with the BLIZZARD outside. Yay, it's almost May...what the heck! The kids built a slide out of 2 mattresses that came down the stairs... a HIGHLITE for sure! Love when they get creative and do what kids should do. The down side of the slide was the injuries. Mylie limped for a couple days after, but is fine now. Besides the slide, we watched many movies, had a couple Easter Egg hunts, dyed eggs, ate well, Debbie J. & I put a trampoline together...that was an adventure, not to mention my very SOAR muscles with in hours of getting it done...such a bonding experience, pulling some of those springs was like helping each other get through labor! Kids had a blast together & us adults had great nights of adult convo & laughter.

C R A V I N G this!

2011-04-10T21:45:00.000-07:00

Conference Weekend.

2011-04-10T17:36:00.000-07:00

Yes, we woke up to LOTS of snow Sunday morning! It was a good day to stay in doors and enjoy Conference. The kids obviously had another plan. Hope they enjoyed the last of the snow...P L E A S E, say it's so!!!

Luke kissing his snowball!

The kids made forts all weekend with the LAMEO weather. It made me remember how much I loved doing the same thing when I was younger.

Meanwhile, inside, Nick was my litttle helper! Did I mention how much I LOVE his onesie. The colors scream inspiration...for his new room that is, he will be moving into it next week. Sad to see him go out of our closet, but I know he is ready. When His arms & feet are coming out of the little crib...it is TIME!

Our future gymnast???

Conference weekend...always a FAV!

2011-04-03T12:01:00.000-07:00

I am so grateful for this conference weekend! A time to look at life and put into check those things that are really important. I always love talking to Bob after the priesthood session to hear what they talk about with the men. Everything is so inspiring! I am grateful to a husband that has the same goals & values as me. We learn from each other, grow, & push each other to be better & try harder. I am grateful for our 5 most precious blessings, our children, little people who want good things & do their best. I am gratful for the Gospel, our Prophet, scriptures, prayer, faith, hope, love, family, good examples, service, & most importantly a Savior who loves us all. I feel my testimony is simple, yet strong. It is my foundation in life and I am thankful everyday to parents who guided, pushed, formed, lead by example, & loved all the way through & still to this day Check in & make sure we are on the RIGHT path. I can honestly say that it is the gospel that brings me the greatest JOY. The FAMILY is central to the gospel & that's where I find my AH HAH moments. Hope everyone has had a relaxing, growing, & fun weekend!

Dropped the girls off at a friends & went to Zach's school. Zach & one of his best buddies Caleb (our back door neighbor...very convienant for sure) have Birthday's one day apart, so Kelli, his mom, & I brought the boys & their class cupcakes & treat bags. We then checked the boys out & went to McDonalds for lunch.

M Y L I E F A Y E is 3...3.13.2011

2011-03-14T14:48:00.000-07:00

Besides almost buring her lip on the candles...Mylie had a fabulous day!

Mylie @ 3...Cutest VOICE ever, wish I would be better @ video, because her voice, PRECIOUS! White hair & AQUA blue eyes are her signature! Girly GIRL who wants her LIPS on (lipstuff), some Toes, (painted toes & nails), hair done (we do what we can with those few hairs), some makeup (oh how I dislike it, but OH how the girls LOVE it), & "GET ME DRESSED". Mylie is afraid of the toilet, but is sure good at bringing me a diaper & wipes! So done with 2 diaper babes!! Mylie is a mirror of Annie...whatever Annie likes, Mylie the same. Super cute most of the time, but poor Annie can't take it all the time & I don't blame her. "Where is my dance recital"(hand me down dance cloths that she wants to wear whenever Annie is getting ready for dance), Loves DRESS ups, but mostly her BYU cheer outfit...to Cheer on BYU with Annie. Addicted to her beanie (blanket), thumb, & finger all at once. SUGAR tooth...only eats regular food with a bribe of a sweet after. Baby dolls, changing her cloths & theirs, books with sounds, make-up, play-kitchen, doll house are among her FAV toys. Bath time, MOVIE nights, swimming, story time, outside CIRCLE play, playing upstairs, the park, walks, Bike wagon rides, slurpee & target runs, are some FAV activites. Mylie, heading into 3 has for sure taken it's territory...she knows what she wants & go's for it no matter the circumstance. SHE IS THREE!

We are so GRATEFUL for our Mylie!

G&G Fredrick & Nanna & Papa Roni came to help Mylie Celebrate!

The Cake...

2011-03-14T14:43:00.000-07:00

Not really a cake, but close enough. Mylie love's Rice Krispie treats, so we spiced them up and made her some goodies (thanks to my sis in law who I got the idea from). Annie & Zach unwrapped carmels, poured ingredients, help stir, & formed the balls. It is hard to have these kids grow up so fast, but the benefits of all their help is so great!
