My Boys and Their Dogs

My boys love the dogs, especially Chandler.  This Lab "Lady" is not supposed to be a house dog, but she sneaks in all the time.  Chandler loves it when she comes in.  They are best friends, and I completely trust her with him.  She has more patience with him than she ever did with my other kids.  I love this picture of him sleeping with her.  He wants to take her to bed with him, but that is where I draw the line. 

Jordan was sleeping on the couch and out little "Lucky" got covered up with the blanket....all but his legs.  It looks like Jordan is growing a set of dog legs under the blanket.  Too funny. 

Chandler fell asleep on the floor in the sun and Lucky always lays in the sun.  Well I guess he figured if Chandler was in his sun then he would have to lay with him.  He snuggled right in and fell asleep on Chan's shoulder.  It was so precious.  I will always be a dog person, even though they do sometimes make me crazy.  They are all so good with my kids.  I know that any of the three of them would protect my kids no matter what!

Another Soccer Season

 Another soccer season is over.  Brock and Hayley both played this year.  Hayley played very good for her first time but was ready to be done by the time the season was over.  Brock played awesome at every game but had a pretty tough seaon.  I am so glad that they have these sports to play.  It is so good for them to get out and run. They love to play and I love to watch them. 

Hayley #7

 Hayley had a fun birthday this year.  It was the third day of school, so it was kind of crazy.  She wanted to take some friends swimming, so thanks to my great relatives Randy and Paige this actually happened.  They let us come and use their pool. 
It was a terribly stormy day and we wondered if the swimming would really happen.  We picked up all the kids and when we got to the pool the rain stopped and the sun came out.  They swam for a couple of hours then it started to storm again.  It was surely meant to be. 
Hayley has some good friends and they sure made it lots of fun. 
Hayley wanted grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner so that is what she got with a candle and all. 

 I can't believe that my little girl is already 7.  Times flies too fast.  She is such a sweetheart with a spitfire attitude.  (If those two things go together.)  She is always willing to help her brothers and will do anything to please her momma.  I love her so much and I am so glad that she had a great birthday!

Happy 10th Spencer

 I have the most amazing husband in the world.  We are celebrating our 10th Anniversary today.  It has been the best 10 years ever.  Spence is so patient with me and my kids, and he would do anything and everything for us.  I am so glad that I am able to be married to my very best friend.  He is the light of my life and I can't imagine my life without him by my side.   Happy Anniversary Spence.  I love you so much!!!

First Day of School

The first day of school was a much anticipated event at our house this year.  Brock was excited to go back and see all of his friends.  Hayley was excited to get to go every day in 1st grade, Jordan was excited to start Pre-school.  Jordan didn't start for a couple of weeks after the others so he was super ready when it was time.  Poor Chandler wants to go so bad and had to get his picture taken too.
They all love school and do very well at it.  I hope that they have a good year, and always like school the way they do now.

My Little Bookworm

Hayley loves to read.  She always has ner nose in a book.  She has been trying really hard to get The Book of Mormon read for Primary.  She woke early one morning and tried to read.  Spence got up to go do chores and found her alseep on the couch with the book open on her lap.  She is such a sweetie with a brain that never stops.

Bear Lake

We took a day and went to Bear Lake this summer.  The kids had so much fun even with the strong winds.  They decided to bury Spence and make him look like a mermaid.  It took a while but had a blast.  I think it looks a little claustrophobic.  Spence had sand everyone.  His head looked gray from all the sand stuck to his head.  It was pretty funny.  All in all it was a pretty fun day at the beach!!
