That’s right…Kip and I have been married for 6 years today! WOW, time seems so slow yet so fast. We are still very much happily married and enjoy doing things together although it may not be much. We are not out numbered by kids which is a plus! We didn’t do much to celebrate today or this weekend, but we have some fun planned for this next weekend!Happy Anniversary Kip!!
Last Saturday, we went to Provo to walk for Cystic Fibrosis. We had a great turn out in people and had tons of fun walking, eating, playing, talking, and just having fun! We had 20 people walk for “Jayden’s Team” which is more than any other year although we hope to have more next year! We were also surprised to find out our team got to cut the ribbon for the walk. We had Jayden do the honors and Kip helped her. She was a little shy about cutting the ribbon, but still talks about it.
What have we been up to the past little bit. Well, lots of fun with friends, finishing school, taking a trip, and just trying to stay on top of life.
First off, I never posted pictures from Sage’s birthday party, so here they are!
In early May, I noticed little mouse droppings under the sink one day and realized we better do something about it before the mouse invited his friends to come and stay. The kids were do interested in what Kip was doing with the traps and wanted us to check them every few minutes. We waited until the next morning and that was all it took to get this guy. The kids all had to see for a few minutes before is was thrown away.
On May 7th we celebrated Caleb’s 1st birthday. He had a blast with his present. He though it was to push around and stand on until we showed him how to tear the paper. We had a birthday party for him where he enjoyed digging into a large piece of cake, tried to hit a piñata and enjoyed opening presents and eating candy.
Later in May, the kids helped us pick out flowers to plant. The kids loved playing with the dirt and putting flowers in the pots. They are so pretty. Our flowers grow well since they are hooked to the sprinkler system and get plenty of water.
After planting flowers the kids enjoyed some fun in the sprinklers. We tried out all the different ones we own. The kids we soaked from head to toe, but by the smiles on their faces they sure had fun!
A few days before preschool ended they had a transportation parade. The preschool kids decorated their bikes, scooters, or anything with wheels and rode around the neighborhood. The kids and I went and watched. We had fun waving to Sage and yelling her name.
On the 15th of May, we ventured out of state and went to Wyoming. I know, most of you probably think WHY!! Kip’s dad lives in Wyoming and Denna, his little sister was graduating from high school. We went to help get everything ready and spend time with family. The kids had tons of fun with their cousins. They were sad to leave. The drive was long for Caleb and he managed to cry the last hour both ways. I am glad we have a DVD player for the kids because the kids started asking “Are we there yet?” at the mouth of the Provo canyon which was only 6 minutes into our 9 hour drive. The kids love the twirling swing and zip line at Grandpa’s and Grandma’s house and that is all they wanted to do. This is where Caleb also learned to stand up without holding onto anything. He learned it on the trampoline.
Sage has also graduated from preschool. Caleb is learning to walk and has taken 11 steps at one time, but still uses crawling as his main mode of transportation. Braxton has finished with speech for the school year and will be doing summer speech. He is talking a ton better and I can almost understand everything he says. Jayden is doing well although she has not gained any weight for the past few months. Jayden is eating more by mouth and actually tells me she is hungry sometimes. We are hoping to get her to eat a little more and enjoy food before she starts preschool in the fall.
Well, that is our life for the past month and a half. If you read the post please leave me a comment so I know who is looking at my blog. Thanks!!!
