Ashleys birthday

Our friend Ashley had her birthday over memorial day weekend...so we celebrated it together with her on that monday...We went miniture golfing with them and had a blast.

Weston even wanted to join in on the fun. And then we all went home and had the kids take naps. Then they came over to celebrate some more, cake and all. We enjoyed the day and hope that Ashley had a great birthday. Even if it was a little belated.

memorial day weekend

So the kids enjoyed a fun memorial day weekend with their cousins and grandparents. On that Friday we decided it would be fun to take them to a place called jumpin. It is a place with bg inflatable "castle" type things. They had so much fun...as you can tell in the pictures!!!I know this one is hard to see, but look closely and you can tell how happy Weston is...

Weston's first attempt at walking...

These are of Kambria and Madalyn "singin" together...more like making noises, but they were having fun together

The girls were wearing thier pretty dress up dresses and it started to rain...so everyone had to look outside at the rain...Weston included.

my new project

So one of our neighbors had this chest of drawer on their driveway with a free sign on it. So I took it and now I am trying to paint it white and put new knobs on it...I will post the final project when I am done.

Kambria's hair

Kambria's hair can now be braided!!!! I thought it was too cute to pass up...and how about those cheesy smiles! Kambria is great at smiling for the camera now!!!

now a couponer!!!

I am now into Couponing...or so the term is now forming...I LOVE to find good deals and use coupons to make the deals even sweeter.

There is a website I follow hip2save.com and one of her posts helped me to get all of this...

a total of $42 something for only $5 something!!!! I was SO pleased with myself. It took some work a some planning, but I did it! 5 bottles of mayo, 5 bottles of BBQ sauce, 1 box of 100 calorie snacks, 3 Hershey bliss bars (could have done more) 3 boxes of Ritz, 2 boxes of granola bars,and a tube of toothpaste!!! Not bad!!! Go Eliza!

Weston's second tooth

These were taken on May 11, 2009. Hopefully you can see the second tooth popping up throught the gums. Weston is NOT a good toother!...meaning he is clinging and grouchy when he is teething! Thank goodness this one has finally broken through...only to begin the clinginess and grouchiness of his two top teeth!!! They are on their way!

mother's day weekend

a man "playing" in the dirt is HOT!!!

So I am still trying to play catch up. So all I wanted for mother's day was flowers...not the cut kind but the planted kind. So Bryan spent his morning the saturday before roto tilling our garden and helping me plant our flowers! It is harder than it looks we discovered! But we had fun doing it and are pleased with the outcome. What do you think?

And with all the playing in the mud, Weston decided to eat his first handful of dirt. I am sure there are many more of this to come, but here is, happy with the result...runny nose and all!

Then on mother's day itself, Leah and her kids, minus Nelson, and my mom and Colin came up to celebrate with us. Kambria and Hayden had SO much fun playing together. This was the last time they will see each other for about 9 months. They moved to Canada for Nelson's work...but only for a short while. It was a joyful time to see them play so well together!

I feel bad I did not get pictures of the twins!!! Sorry leah! We will miss you guys and want to read and see all the fun things you get to do up in Canada!!!!

Utah trip post 3

Well it has taken me WAY too long to post this...every time I start the computer wont save what I am trying to do and I lose EVERYTHING...so we will try again...

Layna Sage Freeman was blessed and the day was GREAT! It was a little windy, but the weather was nice. It was a good day to spend with family. Although we had to leave the party a little early and drive back to Colorado. Bummer! But Layna was blessed in the same dress as Madalyn was...the one that I MADE!!! I thought Layna looked very cute and beautiful in it! And it certainly was an honor that Lisa let Layna wear it too! They make a great little family don't they?

Trip to Utah...post 2

On Saturday night, we decided to check out the tulip festival at Thanksgiving point! Brady had mentioned that he was going to go, and MaryEllen thought it would be a fun thing to do. It was raining all day and sprinkling on and off that afternoon, but we decided to try it! We are SO GLAD we did! It was gorgeous!!! Bryan had a lot of fun taking pictures of the flowers. He is so good at photography with things like that! So here are some of the flower pictures...I tried to pick the ones that show how grandiose it was! It was so fun to see all the different varieties and types and colors! I have decided that I LOVE tulips...so when we have our own house...we will be planting tulips!

Isn't he just too cute? Jacqueline with Kambria and Madalyn!!! Cute cute!
