Sandbox (#12)

The first official thing we have done in the yard is build a sandbox. It turned out awesome (thanks to Jason's perfectionism) and the kids love it! I leveled the ground and got it ready for the box to go on top.

Tour de Kaysville (#11)

I love riding bikes as a family so when our Stake sponsored the "Tour de Kaysville" I knew we HAD to be a part of it. We lined up and the bull horn sent us off on our 4 mile ride around Kaysville. Brother Horne from our ward brought this bike. I think he told Jason about it one Sunday and Jason said he'd love to see it. It was interesting to ride because there were no breaks, shocks, or cushy seat. Kind of crazy!!

Reading with my kids (#10)

Reading to my children is one of my favorite things to do. It gives me an excuse to snuggle with them and I love how the words on the page are so much more lively when reading them to a child. I read to all of them at bedtime. Kennin & I read together for one-on-one time almost every day. When Bridger was little we used to read at least an hour every morning. He loved it. Sienna is getting to the point where she can "read" the books to me. I love it. Last time we went to the library Sienna picked out books that we had at home or that my mother had read to her. Now that Bridger is a more independent reader he reads to his siblings and they all love it.

Biking (#9)

One of my favorite things to do is go on bike rides with my family, but you guessed it...there are pictures of everyone else on bikes, but none of me. I handed the camera to Bridger and he took this picture as I was coming to get it from him. I am so glad it is getting warmer. I love going on bike rides!

Family Clock (#8)

I am working on this awesome wall clock and I can't wait to have it done! Jason helped me today by cutting down some of the picture frames. We both worked on spray painting and let's just face it there's something satisfying about instantly covering up something with a can of paint. I'll post the final project when I have it done!

Sienna's birthday cake (#7)

This is Sienna's cake right after I made it! It looked super cute! I put it in the fridge and the next morning the color had melted off the skittles and it looked like the cake was bleeding. Sienna didn't care, the boys thought it was cool, and I wasn't too excited to serve it family members. So we re-frosted it with whipped cream and the boys redecorated it. It actually turned out to be a fun family project!

Dinner with the Beehives (#6)

The Beehives wanted to do a parent appreciation dinner. So last night they served their parents. The girl were amazing. The were asking what they could do to help and very enthusiastic. They had made all the food ahead of time. They wrote letters to their parents and made their Mom's a corsage. This is Sophie and I right outside the kitchen. I am in my fancy dress with an my fancy apron. It was very good, but a lot of work! Glad it's over!
