Ryan is 5

My little man Ryan turned 5 a few days ago. I am a little sad because of this. It is so crazy how fast they grow up. It is hard for me to think that he will be in Kindergarten in the fall. I hope he never loses his crazy little laugh it is so contagious. It comes from deep inside and feels a whole room. We love you buddy and hope that you had a great birthday!!! Here are some fun pictures from the joyous day.

Ryan was so happy about his new bike and all his other fun gifts

Fun Times

I was going threw my camera and notice I had a lot of fun pictures of the kids just hanging out and doing different things that I have never really found a post for them. So here is my post of just random pictures!!!

The Boys playing on the Tramp


This is everyone waiting for Preston's program to start




My little Baby who is not a baby anymore

The boys being ever so good at one of McKay's Soccer games






These are the flowers I did for my kids to give to there teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week. The say "Where Children Bloom"

These are the roses Korey got me for our Anniversary!

Preston shooting a basket at a camp he did. Sad that this is the one and only picture I took of him during it.

Photos by Preston!

For Christmas Preston got a camera. He asked if I could download the pictures to the computer so he could mess with them on the software that came with the camera. I thought that some of the pictures were way cute and just wanted to share them!








For some dumb reason these dang pictures would not turn. So you may have to telt your head a little!

Kindergarten Program

Preston's teacher this year did an end of the year program. They sang songs and even did a play. "The Little Red Hen" It was way cute & a fun program. Preston was not feeling great since earlier he had 2 teeth pulled. But he was a trooper and went and did his best. Here are a few highlights from the evening!

Here he is waiting for the program to start.


Here are few action shots.



I am bummed that I did not get any shots of him during the play. He was one of three duck and his line was "Not I, quack, quack. I can tell from that line that he is a star in the making!

Look How Big We Got!

Whenever we go to the Zoo we always get a picture of the kids standing in front of the Gorilla. My Sister started it with here boys and I started it with McKay. I even have a picture of him barley able to sit and he is in front of the Gorilla. So here are the kids in front of it this year.

We Love The Zoo!

We did not do a whole heck of a lot during Spring Break. No money equals no fun! But we did make it to the Zoo. It was the perfect time of year to go. The weather was awesome, the animals were out & active. The best part the baby animals. Nothing is better than the zoo in the Spring time! We went up with my Brother & his family. The boys were great & had a blast. After the zoo we went and had lunch at Red Robin(YUMMM). When ever we say Red Robin the boys always have to throw in YUMMM. You know like the song! Good luck getting that commercial out of your head now. Well then we ran home changed our clothes & Korey & I took the boys to the Lehi pool. It is always fun in the winter when it is to cold for an outside one. All in all it was a busy, but fun day! Here are some of the high lights from the Zoo. I am bummed because I forgot to take the camera to the pool. Thanks Allen's for coming out and hanging with us for the day!

These baby Geese were just running around the Zoo!

This baby Orangutan was so cute!

This is for Korey, he loves the Wolves!

The Tigers were so active. It was way cool!

The Giraffes were the kids favorite. They were so sad that the baby one had died recently!



Let's go Cougars!!!

We call Ryan "Rhino" when he is being grumpy! This is for you!!!

My favorite Animal of all is the Elephant! It was so neat to see a baby one. When we first went by she was sleeping.

We checked back a little later and she was up playing! So cute!!!
