Dagen during his performance....

 Braylie, she was not loving it so much....

 Dagen walking to officially graduate.

I can't believe I have another child graduated from kindergarten.  Where does the time go.  Dagen absolutely loved this last year and loved his teacher Mrs. Esquerra.  He had great friends with his little "dawg pound".  Not sure how his teacher handled all the boys in one class together, but she did it.
He is so excited for First grade next year.  I am a little excited as well for a few reasons. First, he will be going all day. (half day was not enough for him) Second, Daxlyn starts school too, I will officially have 3 kids in school.

Daxlyn turns 5...

All ready to go for the day with her new Doll and Clothes...

Of coarse she blinks right when I take the pic.

Daxlyn turned 5 this week. She has been making quite the list for her big day. This included bracelet, necklace, a big ring, clothes, big doll, her driver's license and finally a CAR. Yep that's what I said a driver's license and a car. She seems to think she was turning 16 with her big requests. So we did hold up our end of the bargain and almost everything.(sorry no car this year and no license, maybe in 11 years. lol)

Sunday mornings!

Daxlyn trying to keep Bray in the picture.

Sunday mornings are always crazy getting each child ready. This particular morning we were ready early, so I thought I would gets some pics while I could. Braylie or coarse, likes to do her own thing and wonders in and out of the pics as she wants. She is a turkey some days!

Dr. Seuss Week

It was Dr. Seuss week at school in March. Each student could dress up as whatever character they wanted. So we thought we would try to do a fun do on Brekell. It was not as hard as I thought it would be. But more difficult to make sure it stayed in all day with recess and a full day of school.

My little gal!

Braylie has been such a mommas girl. I do love it, but sometimes it makes it hard to do anything when she cries being away from me. She is such a tender hearted gal and is such a strong personality. She is definitely the boss at our house and she really knows how to get everyone to do what she wants. She is a very independent and loves to explore everything in the house.

We love this little gal so much!!!

Basketball Season

Going in for a lay up...

Stealing the ball...

Just made a basket.




We signed Dagen up for basketball this year and had a great time watching him. Since he is younger they begin with a developmental league where they teach them the skills for the most of the time and then scrimmage for the last 10 minutes. I wasn't sure how he would like it but he ended up loving it and improved so much by the end of the season. He was actually grasping the game better each time he played. Now we are on the count down for baseball season.

Brekell Baptism

Brekell has been waiting for this day for a long time. She was excited to be baptised. We are proud of her for making the decision to do this. She is a great example in our house and a great big sister. After her baptism we had a little luncheon at out house and had our friends and family over for it. It was such a great day and Dave did an awesome job.

Christmas

Christmas was a lot of fun this year. I had a really hard time getting into the spirit of the season without snow. But it was still a success and so much fun. The kids all asked for comforter sets this year. That made it really easy for me.

We had such a great day and then headed to Delta to talk to Uncle Wyatt on his mission. It was so fun to talk to him and hear his voice. We all miss him a lot. It is weird to think he will be back for next Christmas.

Brekell turns 8!

Well the day came that Brekell has been anxiously waiting for. She finally turned 8. She has been counting down the days, not for a party or presents, because she finally was old enough to be baptised. This is a milestone she has been waiting for so she could be old enough. We did have a party for Brekell filled with cake decorating, nails painted, and movies with tons of snacks and goodies to eat. They were all sugared out after the decorating i'm sure.

We also had AUnt Jackie make a custom cake. She did such an amazing job. Brekell loved it to pieces.....

My CRAZY Gal!!!

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

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

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!!!

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!!!

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!

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!!!!

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!!!

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.
