The Gammell's!!!

My CRAZY Gal!!!

2011-11-25T17:31:00.000-08:00

So Braylie is quite the character. If you aren't quick with her, she gets the best of everything. In this picture one of the kids left their chair out and she is soooo quick to jump on board and have herself a snack... Love this little Gal so much!!!!

Pumpkin Carving

2011-11-25T17:22:00.000-08:00

Braylie does not love the Camera!

Dad showing them how it's done.

Daxie waiting for assistance (aka...she just wants Dad to do hers:)

Dagen getting grossed out. haha

So we had a lot of fun carving the pumpkins this year. The kids were still unsure about cleaning them out, but they shortly got the hang of it and weren't grossed out anymore. I am loving the ages of my kids right now. They all are so fun and just enjoy things. I can't wait for Braylie to get slightly older so she can enjoy the fun times too. During the whole pumpkin carving Braylie watched from her chair and just gave us dirty looks. (f you know my baby,you know dirty looks are given a lot:)

Behind; Halloween

2011-11-25T17:12:00.001-08:00

Daxlyn found the "perfect" pumpkin!
Dave and the kiddos...

Fun activities...

Brekell and her find!

Yes, I know I am behind. Between all the craziness this last month, I am trying to keep somewhat updated, hopefully:) So Halloween was a lot of fun this year. We went to the pumpkin patch and got our pumpkins this year. It was so much fun to take a hay ride to get them. The kids absolutely loved it. I would totally suggest it to anyone with little kids, they will have a blast. Anyway, the kids loved picking out their pumpkins and playing in the maze. I am such a terrible mom and the day of Halloween I didn't get any pics of the kids. I know mother of the year right? But in my defense I was about through with the holiday in the middle of October. It was that kind of month:)

My baby is 1!!!

2011-10-18T07:31:00.000-07:00

She loved the cake made by aunt Jaclyn!

Where did the time go, I can't believe my baby is one! This last year has flown by so fast. Braylie is such a happy-get into everything-never stops-eat everything-rules the house-loveable gal. She has got such personality plus. She goes all day long until she goes to bed. She is my little sweetheart and can't imagine life without her. She has the whole family wrapped around her finger. We love our Braylie...

Fun times!!!

2011-09-27T13:51:00.000-07:00

Dagen and Daxlyn relaxing before the parade!

Brekell, Elle, and Adision during the parade...

We went to the onion days Parade in Payson this year. We had so much fun looking at all the floats and getting the candy. We had Elle and Adison playing with us which made it a lot of fun. After the parade it was so hot that we went and finished off the day at the splash pad. (sorry no pics) We are loving living closer to the city....

Daddy's little girl!

2011-09-27T13:38:00.000-07:00

Braylie loves her daddy. When he gets home she is waiting for him to pick her up and play around. She loves it when he chases her around the kitchen and living room. She is laughing the whole time he is doing it. We love this little gal!!!

Mess Maker!!!!

2011-09-27T13:33:00.000-07:00

Braylie has turned into quite the mess maker. When it is time for food she is all ready to eat. I swear I feed her ALL day long. She never stops eating, ever. But then comes the clean up. She is not a clean eater by any means. (What kid is right?) But oh man, if it is not all over her, the tray, and the floor, then she isn't satisfied. ( This week she dumped her bowl of ramen on Daxlyn's head, So funny haha) So I am spending the rest of my day cleaning up after this mess.

Growing Up!!!

2011-08-31T19:13:00.000-07:00

Dagen all grown up and ready for school!!!

Well Dagen is now in kindergarten. He has been sooooo ready to begin school that he has been driving us crazy. He is wishing it was all day school (some days I do as well, haha). But he is loving it and is making awesome friends at school.

First Day of Second grade!!!

2011-08-22T18:46:00.000-07:00

Brekell by her cubby...

Brekell and Ms. Olive

All ready to go!!!

I can't believe I have a second grader. That is what I have been thinking all morning. But it came and we were all ok and no tears. Brekell is such a good helper that I was sad to see her go back to school. She was so excited and I was excited for her as well.

Soccer time!!!

2011-05-24T17:34:00.001-07:00

Our kids have just finished the sprinf soccer season. We had so much fun watching them learn and laugh along the way. Dagen sure got things figured out alright, Brekell was still deciding how to play. It was a fun season. Love that my kids are old enough for this.

Braylie is the boss!!!(or bossy)

2011-05-24T17:25:00.000-07:00

Here is our sweet little Braylie. She is definitely in charge at our house. She is such a doll, we love her to pieces......

Easter!!!

2011-04-28T21:33:00.000-07:00

Daxlyn, Dagen, Brekell, and Braylie....

I know I am so behind. But I thought I would get Easter on here before it has been forever. We had a great Easter Break, We didn't do a thing... I sometimes love it like that so you can have a much needed break from all things. We had fun just hanging out watching movies, playing games, and catching up on sleep. I decided to get my girls these darling pettyskirts, I could not find Easter dresses that I just had to have, so I went for these. I think they turned out way cute...

Cereal

2011-02-25T16:47:00.000-08:00

Well we tried cereal for the first time last week. We had great success at it. She absolutely loved it. I am way out of practice of it though, that is why it is all over her face. I will gradually improve I am sure.

She is Growing!!!

2011-02-25T16:43:00.000-08:00

My little Braylie is growing up so fast. She broke her first tooth on Feb 19th. (she was quite cranky) She is just over 4 months right now, we are loving her. She is definitely spoiled by all around her. She loves to be held and be entertained at all times. She is our smilie little gal, She makes me smile just looking at her.

A little girl and her "Whippers"!

2011-02-19T19:27:00.000-08:00

Well I know that the title doesn't make sense. But our little Daxlyn is quite the character. She can't say her "S, L, R, F's" very well so when she says things she gets very creative. Well these little pink things on her feet have become her favorite's. She calls them her "Whippers" instead of Slippers. Yes I get quite the laugh out of her. She is so funny. So whenever we go places she pulls out her "whippers" and we are on our way.

2011-01-14T19:19:00.000-08:00

The infamous Kitchen that took FOREVER to get together!! Cute, but Wow!!!

Christmas

2011-01-14T19:09:00.000-08:00

Well Santa definetely found us this year. Our kids loved all there stuff and were so excited. The big thing they all wanted was pillow pets. They all decided this 3 days before christmas. So we had to hurry and rush a letter to santa to tell him. We were ALL worried that he wouldn't find our house with them or run out before he got to us... But they got the pillows and all was well. (I will say santa's "helper" was very tired from helping assemble the toys. Daxlyn's Kitchen came in like 100 pieces to be assembled. It was very Amusing.)

Braylie

2011-01-14T18:57:00.000-08:00

She just had her 3 month appt.( Yeah I am behind from the move, I an slow getting to the doctors) She did so great until the shots, she was not gonna let me forget it either. She was screaming so loud and then scratched her face, which made her scream even louder if possible.

But now we are all doing much better.

Her stats are

Height 24 3/4 (90%)

Weight 12lbs 12 oz. (50%)

She is such a good baby, but definetely getting very spoiled. Whenever we put her down she starts to growl and then proceeds to cry. As soon as you pick her up she is just fine. She has got things figured out for sure. But we are loving her so much.

Brekell Birthday!

2011-01-14T18:53:00.001-08:00

I can't believe Brekell is seven. She had such a great day. She began the day opening all her presents. Then she went to school and while she was there we got ready for a little b-day Party. We had cake and Ice cream with the cousins and Grammie and Papa. (This is the only picture I got with my Camera. I will have to get the rest from my mom.) Now all she can talk about is getting baptised next year. I can't believe she is getting so old.

Braylie Blessing Day!

2010-12-06T11:03:00.000-08:00

Daddy and Braylie before the blessing
The kids

Her boots for her dress. Love them!!!

Braylie was blessed yesterday in our new ward. She looked so beautiful and Dave did a great job. She always seems to keep us on our toes. Right before the opening song, I heard a grunting sound. I looked down and she began to poop right in the middle of church. I thought I was going to die because she always blows out at the most inconvenient times. So luckily we made it through the blessing and then I took her from Dave and booked it out to change her. I feel bad that she got to stink everyone out. But I guess it was her special day, and everyone had to deal with it. lol

Daddy and Braylie time!!!

2010-12-06T10:57:00.000-08:00

Braylie loves her Daddy to hold her like this. Usually I will find them both asleep in this position. We are loving our little girl so much.

Halloween

2010-12-06T10:51:00.000-08:00

We had a great Halloween. My girls decided to be fairy princess', and Dagen, of coarse, wanted to be Batman. They looked so cute. We weren't sure we were going to go trunk-or-treating because it was pouring rain. But 15 minutes before it started it totally stopped raining. So we loaded up the kids and headed to main street. It was a lot of fun. But way too cold for Braylie to dress up. So maybe next year for her...

Sleeping Diva!

2010-10-28T18:37:00.000-07:00

Daxlyn is so into being such a big girl. She had got these glasses at school for doing all her homework. She came home and put them right on. Next thing we knew she was fast asleep on the couch. At first we thought she was watching tv with them on, but then we lifted them up and saw she was fast asleep. Love this little Diva!

More pics!!!

2010-10-28T18:23:00.000-07:00

Brekell absolutely loves her new sister. She hardly will leave her alone. We usually have to give the baby a "time-out" so that no one gets to hold her. It is so funny how much they like her.

On a funny note: Dagen hasn't really cared for his new sister or has been embarrassed to show his feelings. Several people have said they could "just eat her up". so the next day when Dagen woke up, he told me " I could just eat her for Breakfast" I know that sounds like he doesn't like her, but he was trying hard to show that he did like her. It was hard not to laugh at how cute it was. Now he has warmed up to her a lot more.

2-week Stats

2010-10-28T18:17:00.000-07:00

Height 21 3/4 in. (90%)

Weight 8lbs 6oz (50%)

She did grow longer, but not much in her weight. I can't believe how tiny she seems to us. We are so in love with her. She has been the best baby so far. She hardly ever cries and is a great baby at night. I couldn't ask for more.

Introducing!!!

2010-10-11T07:52:00.001-07:00

Braylie Anna Gammell. She joined our family on October 4th, at 9:46 p.m. She came in weighing 7 lbs. 12 oz. & 20 in. long. The whole family is in love with her, and we are so happy to have her here. She is such a good baby already.

Dagen and Daxlyn's First day!

2010-09-19T09:18:00.000-07:00

I love how Dagen is taking care of her. If even for only that morning:)

Yeah I am a little behind. But I do have good intentions and excuses. But now my 2 little ones have started Preschool.. I am not going to lie about it, I am loving it. The hardest part is getting all 3 of them ready by 7:45 for the bus to come. My girls are not morning people, and considering Brekell won't leave until her hair is exactly how she wants, it makes it harder. So we have had to make big adjustments in waking up earlier.

I really do miss my kids when they are gone. But I won't be lonely for much longer. I am scheduled for induction on Sept. 29th, if I don't go sooner. Which means I will be here til the 29th. then I will have my days and nights filled up very well. I am also in the middle of Volleyball as well. So that is pretty much my time for everyday. We will just add the baby to the mix of things.

Brekell's First Day of School!!!

2010-08-23T17:59:00.000-07:00

All ready to go!

Outside her classroom.

At her desk!

I can't believe my little girl is in First Grade. She doesn't seem old enough. But she was definitely ready for it. She had her outfit picked out for the first day of school for a while now. I forget how fun it is to see them go to school, but sad for me. I missed her all day, not only me, but Dagen asked about her every 10 minutes.

Ice Cream, Ice Cream!!!

2010-08-04T18:58:00.000-07:00

Well our big town of Manti got a Ice Cream truck. The kids heard the music and we ran and got money so we could get our treats... Now the kids can't wait for the truck to come everyday!!!

Interesting kids!!

2010-08-04T18:55:00.000-07:00

Eating their lunch outside so they don't have to leave!!

Well our air conditioning had some problems last week. So we had a repair man come and fix it. Well the kids thought it was so fun that they pulled their chairs around and watched everything that he did. Talk about pressure for him.

Dagen B-day!!

2010-08-04T18:49:00.000-07:00

Dagen turned 5 on July 28th. I can't believe he is getting so big and older. He wanted to have a water party and all kinds of water toys. We also a lot of Dave's family come for the party. Dagen had a lot of fun. He was disappointed the next day when he wanted it to be his Birthday again and we had to inform him not for another year.

All the Grandkids!!!

2010-07-21T19:29:00.000-07:00

So we got pictures done before Wyatt left on his mission to Taiwan. We decided to do just the Grandkids with Grammie and Papa. WOW, what a task that was. Glad we don't have to do that every time we get together...

Summer Fun!

2010-07-21T19:21:00.000-07:00

We are having fun this summer. We are loving playing outside, not loving how HOT it is though... But the kids love playing in the water so it is worth it.

cont...

2010-07-21T19:16:00.000-07:00

Crazy Sleeper!!!

2010-07-21T19:09:00.000-07:00

Daxlyn is our crazy sleeper. Most nights we find her upside down or off the bed. But I do have to say that she is so cute when she sleeps...

Sisters!!!

2010-06-07T09:25:00.000-07:00

Daxlyn was having a hard day the other day and I told Brekell to be the best big sister and go take care of her. Well when I came back in this is what I saw. Brekell laying down with her and helping her to take a nap. What sweet girls we have, love every minute with them.

Brekell Clogging Recital...

2010-05-30T10:02:00.000-07:00

Brekell giving us a big Smile!

This year Brekell decided to try clogging. She had alot of fun and really enjoyed her dances. She is so cute 'cause she has them all memorized, and practiced all the time at home. We are loving the age of our kids right now. They are all so fun and love keeping active.

Dagen Preschool Gradutaion

2010-05-28T08:10:00.000-07:00

Dagen Shaking a leg...

Dagen had his preschool graduation this week. Those little kids all looked so cute performing their little dance. We can't wait for Daxlyn to start next year, she is so excited.

Party Time...

2010-05-18T07:54:00.000-07:00

The kids playing on the car..

Me blowing out the candles, I love Daxlyn's Face in this picture.

The food.

Well I had my birthday yesterday. It was a great relaxing day. No school for me, no volleyball, and no pressing things that I had to get done. Dave was so nice and was throwing me a surprise party. I did find out about it by mistake, but the plans went on. It is nice to get with family and eat lots of food. Thanks Babes, you did an awesome job as usual....

Dagen Playdate!!!

2010-05-18T07:49:00.000-07:00

Dagen and his friend!!!

Since Dagen is the only boy, we always have to find things to occupy him. So we decided to let him start having play days to get US all by. It is so different to have little boys playing. Only having one brother myself, I am not sure how to entertain them. So I prepared a full snack and lunch buffet for them to pick from. Only to find out that they just eat what they want and run and play while eating. It is still fun to see my little Dagen growing up...

Update!!!

2010-05-09T08:47:00.000-07:00

A tired Dax!!!

Well I know it has been alittle bit since an update. I have been finishing finals and so has Dave. So that is my big excuse. But since we are finally done we are hoping things are going to be more calm at our house. Not only has Dave been in school, but his job got moved up to Provo so he has been commuting everyday. It has added a lot more craziness to our mix. Then to add the cherry on top--- We found out in January that we are Expecting again. I am almost 19 weeks. I am Due Oct. 6th. It has gone by really fast so far. If you are wondering why we waited so long to tell-- after the last time and us losing the baby, we wanted to make sure everything was good before we got our hopes up. We are excited to add one more and definetely it will be our last. So there is our family Update for now. I hope to keep things more regularly on here.

Easter at our House!!!

2010-04-06T17:04:00.000-07:00

The Easter Bunny definetely came to our house. (Probably left too much stuff for the kids.) We had a great day relaxing and juat enjoying the day!!!

Easter Dresses...

2010-04-01T14:21:00.000-07:00

So had to post the new clothes for Easter. I know it's early but it was such a nice day, and you never know how long those days last.

Daxlyn is 3!!!

2010-04-01T14:07:00.000-07:00

The Birthday Girl, She is a doll!!!

All the food (sorry it's a little blurry)

So this is mine and Jackie's First attempt at a fondant cake. We had alot of fun and learned a few things along the way. It was a big hit and we even surprised Dave with our mad skills... haha

(I think we were surprised too.)

Well my baby has turned the big 3... I know she is no longer a baby, but she has been my little side-kick for so long. She is now a little girl who is into everything and wants to see everything. We had a big party for her and she loved getting all the presents and eating the food.

Dagen (Un)birthday!!!

2010-04-01T14:03:00.000-07:00

Cupcakes for Dagen's class...

Okay, so who does Un-birthdays!?! Well Dagen's school sure does. So not only did they celebrate it, but I got to take cupcakes as well. Don't get me wrong I think it is cute, but talk about confusing a kid. When he got home he wanted presents along with his day!!! We were sure glad when it was over and we got back to normal.

I thought we were done!!!!

2010-03-05T15:06:00.000-08:00

Well yesterday is when it began, the kids had been playing outside on the grass for 2 days in a row. They were having a blast, and then by the time we got Brekell yesterday from school it all began again. More Snow. Really.. I thought we were about done. Come one warmer weather we are ready for you...

Sleepy Friends!!!

2010-03-05T15:04:00.001-08:00

Well we decided we would try a dog and see if we liked having another one. Our kids loved it, but we are still too busy in our lives right now to worry about one. So we will have to get another one (hopefully housetrained:)) when our kids get older and enjoy the responsibility more.

Helpers!!!

2010-03-05T15:01:00.000-08:00

I had told the kids that we needed to clean out the toy box one day. This is what I walked into and found. It was good to see what toys they still liked to play with I guess....

little late

2010-01-11T20:23:00.000-08:00

Dax and her puzzle
Brekell

Dagen and his presents

Well, I know I am late. but having the kids home, and then I went back to school has definetely distracted me. We had a great Christmas. The kids got way too much, but loved every minute of it. They were so excited. And I know if you look close they don't have on x-mas pj's. Well I had bought them and wrapped them, but the kids decided to put them all under the tree and I couldn't remember which was which. So next year I will do better.

x-mas

2010-01-11T20:18:00.000-08:00

Fun in the Snow!!!

2010-01-11T20:13:00.001-08:00

All bundled up...
Lost her glasses:)

Snow Angels!

Happy kids...

Since we l have gotten so much snow, our kids have been living it up. But for me, I am ready for the sun to be out and for the cold to go away.. I can't handle it when it goes in the negatives.

Brekell's Birthday

2009-12-21T11:59:00.000-08:00

Opening her presents

The food

Blowing out the candle...

We celebrated Brekell's Birthday yesterday... I can't believe my baby is 6, where has time gone. I was telling Dave that I am feeling so old now that my oldest is growing up so fast. She was lucky this year and got 2 parties. We had Wyatt, Elle, Grammie and Papa Warnick over on wednesday to help us celebrate. Then we had Dave's family over on sunday to have a party. She had so much fun and loved all her stuff. She is at the perfect age to just buy her everything, which Dave told me I did. But she is so sweet and so glad she is in our family.

School Christmas Program...

2009-12-21T11:50:00.000-08:00

They just love each other...
What a doll!

Brekell had her Christmas program last week. I just love this time of year with all the christmas music and the decorations everywhere. We had fun listening to Brekell sing her songs. We have been hearing them for the whole month of December, She was so cute while performing.

Dagen

2009-12-13T16:11:00.000-08:00

When we were at the store a little bit ago, Dagen found these jammies and just had to have them. He hasn't worn "footie" jammies since he was a baby so I was very curious if he would wear them. Well turns out he loves them and wants to wear them every night. I think they are so cute on him. It keeps him younger for a little bit longer...

Daxlyn, and Backpack, backpack

2009-12-13T16:07:00.000-08:00

I thought I would post a picture of Daxlyn and one of her favorite things. This Backpack seems to go everywhere with us. It fits snacks, books, and toys just right to entertain a little girl for 30 minutes. Not sure we (and I mean Daxlyn) could live without this backpack.......

Halloween!!!

2009-11-03T15:48:00.000-08:00

Daxlyn, my cute little pumpkin.
Brekell (the witch), Dagen (the transformer), And Daxlyn!!

The kids with cousin Ryker (batman). We were visiting at Grandma and Grandpa Gammell's house trick or treating...

Dave's Birthday!

2009-11-03T15:44:00.000-08:00

Daxie is ready to help
Blowing out the candles

I know it's late, but I guess I am at least getting to it.

Halloween Parade...

2009-11-03T15:15:00.000-08:00

Such a cute witch!!!

Brekell's halloween parade was so cute. The whole school comes and walks through main street showing off their costumes. I love living in a small town.

Carving Pumpkins!!!

2009-10-29T11:15:00.001-07:00

The final pumpkins!!!
Brekell hard at work...

Pumpkin seeds on Daxie (she is histerical at this point)

Dagen and his pumpkin

Daxie and the final product

So we decided for family night to carve pumpkins. We had alot of fun, (or at least most of us...) I have found my little princess of a daughter (Daxlyn) is more of a princess than we thought. You will notice the picture of her crying and holding up her hand, Well that is when some of her pumpkin seeds touched her and she began to friek out. It was quite funny. I was laughing, but she was not. Needless to say, I ended up cleaning all the seeds out of all the kids pumpkins.

That's how she rolls!!!

2009-09-28T12:46:00.000-07:00

So I was busy helping Brekell do her homework and didn't want to take the time to slice Daxlyn's apple for her. I thought she had seen enough people eat them that she could handle it. Well as I looked over at her eating her apple this is what we found.

She would take a big bite, suck all the juice out, and then leave the rest discarded on the table.
So needless to say, I will be taking the time to slice her apple from now on... What a cutie!!!

Preschool finally begins!!!

2009-09-17T10:27:00.000-07:00

So Dagen has officially started preschool this week. He is loving it. (I won't lie I love it too. He burns a lot of energy at school.) It is different only having 1 child at home, it is good quality time for me and Daxlyn.

Sleeping Beauty!!!

2009-08-28T09:11:00.000-07:00

Here is my little baby, who is now a little girl. She could not hang on any longer and fell asleep in her prized possession, the Elmo Chair. She is such a doll...

Brekell first day of school!!!

2009-08-24T07:19:00.000-07:00

Brekell waiting for school to start..

Me and the kids before school...

My little kindergartener...

Brekell was so excited to start kindergarten. (I can't believe my little girl is old enough for this. I am feeling way old now.) But we are so excited for her to begin her school days and that she loves to go to school. Dagen is really bummed that he wasn't starting school (and so am I:)). He is my handful everyday, but he will be fine for 2 more weeks...

Eventful Morning!!!

2009-07-30T11:28:00.000-07:00

Daxlyn after her stitches. She was happy and didn't even care about her "owie" on her head.

Three little children playing on the kitchen chairs, one fell off and hit her head.
Momma took her to the Dr. and the Dr. said, She needs stitches in her head...

Well, that about sums my morning up. Not what I had planned for the day, but I guess the kids learned a lesson about playing on the kitchen chairs!!!

Dagen's Birthday

2009-07-26T15:04:00.000-07:00

Birthday cake

Brekell showing off her tricks!

Hamburgers and fries for everyone.(they are really cupcakes and sugar cookies.)

We had Dagen's Birthday Party last night. It went really well and he got really spoiled with Transformers stuff. He had a great time and we were so lucky to have both set of grandparents come and celebrate it with him. He has been looking towards this day for 3 months(they celebrated his unbirthday at the end of school, long 3 months). So it has finally come and gone and I can't believe my little boy is growing up so fast. Thanks for coming everyone...

Brekell's Cheer Camp!

2009-07-26T14:53:00.000-07:00

Janeesa, Brekell, and Kaloni at Camp

As promised, here is Brekell at Cheer Camp. But she still assures me that she will be my volleyball player and I will coach her. I am going to hold her to that!!!

Daxlyn Potty Training.

2009-07-26T07:50:00.000-07:00

So Daxlyn is trying to potty train herself. It has been very funny/cute/annoying all at the same time. She hasn't got the full feeling of it yet, so she will sit on the toilet for 20 minutes at a time. (the annoying part) But I have figured out that cleaning the rest of the house during this time has been great. It gives me 20 minutes to hurry and clean as much as I can while she isn't there to mess it up. So it has worked out for my benefit. Now if she can get the hang of it.

Preschool Graduation!

The kids before we left for graduation.

I know I am behind, and since school is starting soon, I thought I would post Brekell and Dagen's graduation pics. They were so cute and did so well. Dagen even sang the songs and did the actions this time. Preschool went by so fast this year, and I can't believe they are going to start soon again.

In need of an update!!

2009-06-30T09:47:00.000-07:00

I know I have been major slacking. But, I do have good reasons. Since I have taken over the Volleyball team my life has been crazy. We have had camps and open gym since the first of June. So there is my good Excuse... No I really have been busy with Volleyball, Summer school for the kids, and still being a Mom inbetween these things.
We also had a good-bye party for my brother who left for the Air Force Academy. It has not been a great experience for me so far, because I hate the fact that he is gone. But I'm sure when you check any of my family's blog you will see Wyatt posted all over it. He definetely is a missed and loved by us all.
Well not too much to post about. Brekell is in Cheer Camp so I will try to post pictures at some point.

a mother...

2009-05-10T06:55:00.000-07:00

I am so glad that I am the mother to these 3............

Update...

2009-05-01T12:28:00.000-07:00

... Fun pics...

So I have been very crazy lately and not good at posting. But the month of April came and went so fast. The kids are doing good, we just got Brekell registered fro Kindergarten. I can't believe I am old enough to have a child in Kindergarten. It has gone so fast... Dagen is really going to be sad next year in school without Brekell, he relies on her for everything.

On another note, Dave and I are finally done with school for the year. YEEESSSS. It has gone by fast, but in the middle of it I wondered if I was gonna make it. I didn't realize going back to school with three kids was going to be as much work as it was. It was more of the stress than anything, but it worked out well.

I also decided to take a job with the school. You might think I am crazy, and I probably am, but I am the new Volleyball Coach at Manti High. I am way excited and am already finding myself very busy. So now I guess it goes "Go Templars!!!"

Easter Fun!!!

2009-04-12T19:06:00.000-07:00

My girls...

Ready, Set, GO!!

We had such a fun weekend. It started off with a egg hunt in the city park. It was so fun but really wet and cold. Our kids didn't mind the cold though. Then we headed to Delta for Grandpa Jim's Birthday.. We stayed for awhile and then came home for the Easter Bunny to stop at out house. The kids seemed to love it and we are looking forward to the sugar high to end soon:)

2009-03-24T11:32:00.000-07:00

So even though her birthday is not until friday, I thought I would post pictures of her before my week gets too crazy. She is such a sweetheart. She definetely is the one in charge at our house:)

My sweet Baby!!!

2009-01-20T18:32:00.000-08:00

This is how I found her, She was so tired that she just had to take a nap.

She is my sweet little girl, She is also the nursery bully, she loves to tease her older brother and sister, and she tends to battle it out with me on everything else during the day.

Even though she has a different agenda than mine, she is so sweet. (especially when she is asleep.)

It went so fast!!!

2009-01-01T04:24:00.001-08:00

Dagen finally decided to open presents, he spent most of the time playing with the tool set.
Brekell loved all the presents, She was also very excited to find all the dolls from"HSM" to play with.

Daxlyn loved her stroller, she began playing with it and didn't really care about the rest.

Daxlyn's presents from Santa!!!(I think he went alittle overboard...)

Christmas eve wearing their matching pj's, (Brekell picked these out and it was hard to resist her bargaining for the matching one's.)

We had such a great christmas this year. Our kids are at the perfect age so the excitement was high at our house. We got up about 7:30 and let the kids just wonder in and play around. They were mostly interested in the toys that weren't wrapped because they saw them first. It was so much fun watching them go from present to present. We then went to St. George and had a christmas party with my family. We had such a fun holiday, looking forward to a great New Year!!!

Brekell is 5!!!!

2008-12-20T15:28:00.000-08:00

Brekell dying to open her presents!!!
Daxlyn chilled by the popcorn bowl. This is her "Cheese" smile for the camera...

The kids waiting for the birthday cake to be served...

Brekell and her birthday cake, she wanted an Ice Cream cake this year. (Fun for me to not have to make it:)

Brekell and her favorite Birthday present. She has been dying for a Hannah Montana Barbie doll.

Brekell turned the big 5 today. She was so excited for the last month, and has been counting down the days. I'll tell you what, december is the longest month ever I've decided. She was so cute opening her presents and being so excited about everything. Then we had her cousins, and Grandpa and Grandma Gammell come over for cake and other treats that she wanted to have. Now i'm sure the countdown will begin again for her next B-day. (fun for us:) Happy Birthday Brekell!!!!

And Finally!!

2008-12-11T09:47:00.000-08:00

Yes I did it!! You are probably thinking i'm crazy, but I finally got Daxlyn's hair in Pig tails. I am so excited. For those of you who don't know, I was bald until I was 2, and Brekell's hair hardly grows at all. So to have Daxlyn be 20 months and have Pig-tails is exciting!!!

Brekell & Dagen's Christmas Play!!!

2008-12-11T09:13:00.000-08:00

They are best buds!!! This is after they finished the play, Dagen is much happier now that the bunny ears are off his head!!!
Daxlyn enjoying the play from the cookie table, of coarse!

Dagen very sad that he had to wear his bunny ears and fluffy tail, he didn't want anyone to see him,
SHOCKER right !!! But he did end up looking at me at the end when the ears came off.
Love that kid!!!

Brekell happy as always, she was so excited about her part as the "Mom" in the play. She is so sweet to everyone, and absolutely loves taking care of them.

Kiddos!!!

2008-11-29T14:26:00.000-08:00

Okay, we decided to try and practice getting our family pictures done. We thought we better let the kids have practice first. I didn't think it would be as much work as it was. But when you have 3 kids with different agenda's. This is what we got!!! Some turned out ok, but others were a good laugh for us. We were just glad no-one fell in the water!!!!

A funny!!!

2008-11-06T10:09:00.000-08:00

Well I started back to school this fall. Brekell is always very concerned when I leave. So one day my husband told me to watch out for the Deer on the way home. You know small towns have to worry about those Deer on the road. So anyways Brekell, the smart little girl she is, wanted to tell me something before I left for school.

Brekell: Mom, Are you leaving for school.

Me: Yes Brekell, did you need something?

Brekell: We'll watch out for the deer,

Me: good idea, I will

Brekell: Oh and the Elephants!!!

Me: Wow, do we have a problem here with elephants now, I better watch out for them.....

So for all of you who live in Sanpete County, I hear the elephants are bad. So be very careful not to hit one.

Halloween Fun!!!

2008-11-02T18:13:00.000-08:00

Dagen our future Hunter, of Coarse!!!

My very own Hannah Montana, And my little Princess Daxlyn(finally a girlie girl)...

(And yes, we did have the hair for Brekell, but she decided to was too itchy to wear and wasn't that fun to wear a wig:))

Well our day started off like normal. I gave the kids a bath and got them in their fun costumes. We were all ready to go for the day, when Brekell decided that she didn't feel good. I felt so bad because she was so excited to be Hannah Montana. So we spent the rest of the night dealing with the flu and with fever's. Dagen was still going to go trick-or-treating, but fell asleep at 6:00 for the rest of the night. So needless to say, we sort of skipped halloween this year. So we'll be ready for next year. I guess!!!!

Picture tag by Chanda!!!!

2008-10-30T11:35:00.000-07:00

Well since I have a new computer, This is my 4th folder, 4th picture. As you can tell Dagen loves pictures. He must be related to Aunt Frannie. This was on picture day and he didn't want to show his face. We'll you should see his actual school pics. He was tearied-eyed and Brekell had to hold his hand and after 3 tries he finally looked at the camera. We just love our Dagen. I tag Amy, Samie, Brooke, Kim, and whoever wants to do it...

Grandkids!!!!!

2008-10-13T13:47:00.001-07:00

My little ones before we left for home. This is the only one that they all were at least looking at the camera!!! Thanks Dagen for the big smile...

Here are all the Grandkids at the Baptism/blessing on saturday. We had so much fun, but I don't think any of us thought it would be as difficult as it was... There are 15 grandkids... That is alot when you consider the ages, and personalities for a photo. But at least we got all the kids in the photo before they ran off. But it was a great memory to be all together for the big day...

St. George Fun!!!!

2008-10-13T13:42:00.000-07:00

So we went to St. George over the weekend. We had alot of fun... (even though the weather wasn't the best, we were used to it.) We had such a fun time at Jumpin' Jacks with Chanda and her cute kids. They played there little heads off and were ready for bed. Thanks for letting us come to st. george all my sisters, we had so much fun!!!!

Go Delta Football!!!!!!

2008-09-27T16:03:00.000-07:00

We went to Wyatt's football game against North Sanpete on friday. Delta won 48-0... Wyatt did a great job as the QB. It was so fun, but as you can tell, not too close. (Don't mind the kids all dirty and messy hair. We made it the WHOLE game.) Good job Wyatt!!!!

School Days!!!!

2008-09-17T11:13:00.001-07:00

Brekell and Dagen ready for Picture day. This is probably the only picture you can see Dagen.

You can see Daxie doesn't know what to do without them.. They are the "Entertainment" around here.

First day of school!!!!!!

2008-09-08T08:33:00.000-07:00

Here are the kids ready for school. As you can see Brekell is excited and Dagen doesn't want to go. He cried the whole way on the bus. But Brekell is a great big sister and told him "It was fun and the teachers are nice." She is my big helper, I don't know what I would do without her.

My Project!!

2008-08-25T11:19:00.000-07:00

So I decided to paint these shelves for my kids rooms. I'm still working on Daxlyn's, but they weren't that bad to do and my kids love that their name is on them...

Dagen's Birthday!! He is 3!!!!! (i know i'm behind)

2008-08-23T07:50:00.000-07:00

Dagen's birthday was great. We had Grandpa and Grandma Gammell over and they gave him a fishing pole. He played all day and was exhausted at the end of the day.
