Maddy is 3 years old!! :(

2011-09-12T13:58:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday to my baby girl!! I can't believe that she is 3 years old!! Where has the time gone?? It seems like yesterday that she was born, and I had 2 baby girls 11 months apart and I didn't know what I was going to do! It was a crazy first year, but Maddy was such a good baby- good thing-- cause it could have been alot worse LOL!

My 2 babies!

Now Maddy and Halie are such good friends, they do have their moments, but overall they are best friends and love each other so much!!

Maddy is such a happy girl, she is fun and silly and really stubborn! She loves to play with her babies, and to play dress up's! Maddy LOVES animals she loves them all-- Dogs, Cats, Horses, Deer (yes we do have a deer)! Maddy also loves to watch TV, some of her favorites are Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Barney, Strawberry Shortcake and Barbie. She is really smart and she is loving school, and she also loves nursery. Maddy loves electronics, especially the Ipod/Ipad she knows everything about these and can work them way better than her mom!

Maddy is VERY stubborn, and likes to have her way.... but really, who doesn't!?! She still has a sippy cup at night, we have tried everything to get her to give it up, but nothing seems to work! We are weak-- and like our sleep- so after listening to hours of screaming and kicking we give in and let her have the cup! So Maddy, when you have major problems with your teeth remember we tried!!

We love Maddy so much, she is such a special part of our family! We don't know what we would do without her- She is still our baby even though she is now 3 YEARS OLD!! Happy Birthday Maddy Pie! We love you TONZ-

First Day of Preschool!!

2011-09-12T11:34:00.000-07:00

Halie has been waiting for preschool to start all Summer long! When school let out for the Summer, she would ask me every day (for about 2 weeks) when school would start back up... So she was pretty excited when she FINALLY got to got back to school! I wish this love for school would last a litte longer than it usually does for my kids. But at least these 2 little girls are super excited to go to preschool!!

This is Maddy's first year of preschool, and she just seems too little to be going, maybe it's because she is my baby. She actually didn't turn 3 untill a few days after school started, but she is just so little! Halie is on her 2nd year of preschool, but they are both going to be in the "3yr old" class (just this year!) next year they will be in separate classes! I really am hoping that they get along LOL!

Getting on the bus-- Maddy made sure that Halie was getting on with her-- She was not going alone, I think that she was a little nervous, but having Halie with her made it alright! She never cried-- Last year Halie cried everyday, for the first couple of weeks, when I would put her on the bus. It was really sad, but they told me after a couple minutes she was fine, so I kept on sending her- It didn't take her long to get over that and she sure did love school! We do have a GREAT preschool program here, and great teachers that make it so much fun for the kids!

My 2 BABIES off to school-- What will I do? I now have 3 hours of "free" time!! It sure is quite when they are gone, and they have tonz of fun at school, so I don't feel to guilty-

Labor Day Weekend!

2011-09-08T17:33:00.000-07:00

Labor Day at the cabin! We love to go up to the cabin for Labor Day, it is usually one of the only times we get to go camping (our lives need to get a little less busy!). This year we had a great time, the weather was perfect, we got to cookout, shoot skeets, go fishing, and ride the 4wheelers! Hope we don't have to wait a whole year before we get to go back!!

Slacker!

2011-08-30T14:55:00.000-07:00

I have been a major slacker with my blog this past year, and I have a goal to start over and just be an AWESOME blogger!! Ha Ha--- But really I do want to keep up on my blog, because this is like my form of a journal, and I see the CUTE little books that people make from their blogs and I want to do that too! So here I go with my "Do Over"

First Day of School!!
8-24-11

Aren't they just the CUTEST!! These two are seriously the best kids, they do have their moments, but they really are GREAT kids they are nice and smart and helpful, and they don't give their parents too many problems!

Rylie is starting 3rd grade!! I really can't believe it, although she is 8 going on 18!! She is SOOO SMART and she LOVES to talk, and talk, and talk some more, she is the best and I love her so much, she is my big helper (even when she doesn't want to be). She is very loving and usually really nice! She also LOVES clothes and shoe and she knows whats in "Style"!!

Hagen is in 4th grade this year, which makes me feel really OLD! He is a COWBOY and only wants to wear Wranglers & Boots, and there is NOTHING I can say to change his mind! He is AWESOME at math and he also LOVES Recess LOL!! He is the nicest kid, he is kind to everyone and he is a really good helper at home. He loves to go with his dad, he is ALL BOY- he loves sports, guns, friends, and getting dirty!! We love him so much and wouldn't know what to do without him!!

Summer Summer Summer!!!

2010-08-16T15:27:00.000-07:00

The summer has went by soooo fast this year, it feels like the kids just got out of school, and now it is almost time to go back :( But we did have a great summer and we did tonz of fun stuff. I have such a long post already so I didn't add picts from everything we did. In the summer one of our very favorite things to do is to go out to the lake. And this summer my parents rented a houseboat and took all of us to Lake Powell!

One of the kids favorite things about summer is the little buckaroo rodeo, it is really fun for the kids, the boys do the cowboy thing, and the girls run around and play (their not really into being cowgirls ;)) this year Hagen won the mutton bustin' and the roping, so he got a "butch cassidy days" t-shirt and a new rope. He was pretty excited! (he had been practicing his roping all week)

Miss Piute Jr.!!

2010-05-15T16:14:00.000-07:00

Rylie competed in the Miss Piute Scholorship pageant a few weeks ago, and she is now the new Miss Piute Junior! She LOVES pageants and getting up on stage and performing (I don't know where she gets it from) She did such a good job and she had so much fun with the other girls. There were so many cute girls and they all did GREAT! We have so much talent for such a small area.

Well, wrestling season has come to an end!! Hagen did great this year, and after a very very lond day at Canyon View, we have a state champ! He is an awesome wrestler, and he loves it so I guess it is worth it. I thought we were going to finally have some weekends off, but just my luck baseball started yesterday :)

Bantam Wrestling

2010-03-13T14:07:00.000-08:00

Wrestling season is here!! I don't know if I am excited or not, I have to admit that I have never been a huge fan of wrestling, but over the last few years it has grown on me. Hagen has been doing awesome this year,(he is a killer!) he has taken first place at the 3 tournaments we have been to, and he LOVES LOVES LOVES WRESTLING! I guess if your kids love it you learn to love it too!

Rylie is 7!!!

2010-02-10T12:28:00.000-08:00

I can't believe that Rylie is 7 years old! It seems alot older than 6 to me- She is such a fun girl, when you're around her there is never a dull moment (or a quite moment) She loves to talk, goof off, and play with friends! She is so so smart and does awesome in school. We LOVE her very much! She had a fun birthday and got lots of presents. She got an ipod touch that she had been wanting, and lots of other fun things!!

This year we had Rylie's birthday party combined with her friend Mckenzie's party, we took the girls to the hair school and they could choose to get their hair or nails done, it was alot of fun. After we got all fixed up we went to pizza hut and opened presents and had pizza! It was a really fun day.

Raingutter Regatta!

2010-01-27T12:10:00.000-08:00

Hagen is now in scouts, it has been fun, but I know nothing about scouts (probably why they made me the wolf leader:)) Yesterday we had the Raingutter Regatta, The boys and their dads build a little boat and they had to race each other in rain gutters! They had a great time and Hagen took first place in his den he was really excited.

Racing!

Catching Up!

2010-01-08T14:11:00.000-08:00

Santa found us, and spoiled us again! The kids were so excited this year, I told them they couldn't get up until 6:00, but I was hoping that they would sleep in. Sure enough they were up at 6:00 we got up and they looked at what Santa had brought, then they wanted to call grandma and grandpa so they could come watch them open their presents, Rylie ran in to call and some how called 2 wrong numbers! So Hagen took the phone and YES called another wrong number! Sorry to the poor people who got 6am wake up calls (hope they were already up). We did have a great Christmas, and lots of fun stuff. Cole got to come home for 2 weeks of leave from Kabul, so that was really fun, but sad to see him have to go back-

They were both excited for school to start (Hagen said he wasn't, but I think he really was)
