Ezzy is 6 Today!!!

I cannot believe that my little Ezzy May is 6 today! She is getting so big, so fast! She is all ready to go to first grade, just today she told me that she really hated the summer break! lol

I would post pictures of her, but I don't have any recent ones that I want to post, so tomorrow I will. She has a new hairdo, it's so cute, but at the same time it makes her look older, so I don't like it because of that.
She loves to do chores and is a big help anymore. One of her chores is keeping the bathroom orderly, she loves it and gets mad when somebody goes in there messes it up, it's so funny! lol

She is an animal lover and has decided that all the animals are hers, the little thief! All the animals we have gotten are because I have wanted them for my birthday or Mother's day, but she has some how managed to claim them all. Our newest addition, Buddy, loves to sleep with her, he is her "Buddy"!

She still loves to wear dresses and jewelry, very girly, but is always the first one to get into the dirt and playing with bugs. She makes more friends with boys then she does girls, it's so funny. :)
She is our little princess and I cannot imagine life without her, I love her so much! I hope and pray everyday that we get to see her grow up and enjoy a family of her own, she will be a great mother one day, I know it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EZZY, WE LOVE YOU!!! :)

7 YEARS TODAY!!!

Today Chet and I celebrated 7 years together! I am so thankful for him everyday, I'm such a lucky woman to have him! He is an amazing father to our children and they love him very much!
This year Chet planned our anniversary (we switch every year, I am the even years, he is the odd ones). Anyways, he decided that we could go to The Grand Tetons and hike to Table Rock. Never being there before, I accepted the challenge. Oh boy, what a mistake that was! We hiked for 11 hours that day, I barely survived!!! I seriously cried on the way down, my feet hurt so bad, I lost track of how many times I fell (we went down the face of the mountain), it was grueling!!!
I am not a hiker, I have never really gone on one in my life! I would like to, but I need to work on it. I am so out of shape right now, but my goal is to be in better shape for next year, I would like to go again, but this time with limits. Chet was so excited for me to see Table Rock that he kept pushing, no matter how hard I pulled. We did not make it to Table Rock, but we did get up to the ridge. It nearly KILLED me though!
On the way up I saw all kinds of people pass us going up or down. There was two that stood out to me. One was a pregnant lady coming down the trail, I could not believe it! She was pregnant and enjoying the hike and here I was having a hard time with it. The second one I saw was a great grandma coming down and passing us. She was so cute! She had her hiking boots on and all decked out for the hike. She was hiking with her kids, grand kids and some great grandkids, how cool is that!!! I hope that I can change my lifestyle so that I can be that kind of great grandma, I just loved seeing her there and wished that I could have had a picture.
Oh ya, I forgot to mention the camp out. When we arrived we immediately put our tent up and then it poured on us! We ate our dinner under the huge umbrella we have and then went to bed (we arrived up there around 7/8 that night). We were getting ready to turn the lights out when we noticed that the tent had leaks in it and they were creating some pretty big puddles. Lucky for us that at the last minute I decided to grab an extra large blanket and it was perfect to soak it all up and kept it from getting on us.
Later that night I woke up and it had stopped raining so I woke Chet up to walk with me to the rest rooms and the sky was so clear! It was beautiful, I wish that I had my camera on me to take a picture of it! Chet saw two shooting stars that night, it was just breath taking. I would love to take my kids up there to stay the night, so that I could wake them up and see the stars so bright, they would just love it!
Anyways, this was our adventure this year to celebrate 7 years together. It was probably the least romantic and one I will never let him live down, but it will probably be one of the ones I remember most!
I hope and pray that we have many more years together and that we can watch our children grow. I love Chet with all my heart, even when I am angry with him and cursing him for the awful hike he took us on. :)


*I should probably mention that he did make it up to me by taking me to dinner and then to the movies, so he's not all that bad huh?? ;)

Quick Updates

Chet-working hard as usual and going to school, on top of that got a new calling and is now the ward clerk assistant for the financial part, he's excited for this new calling and I know that he will do great!

Me-still learning to keep my house cleaner and learning how to survive with little to no sleep at times. I watch kiddoes from 8:30 am to 11:30sh pm throughout the week. I have assigned chores to all 3 kiddoes and they love earning their smileys for allowances, this has helped me out tremendously!!! :)

Ezzy-getting ready to go to 1st grade, I cannot believe it! She is so excited! She loves doing her chores and earning her money and loves paying Jesus her tithing, she's so cute about it! We have started to talk to her about modest clothing and she has discovered she has modesty freckles to help her out. She earned some stars (a chart for behavior) and gets to have her hair highlighted for school, when she earned them she told me she was going blond! lol I had to explain to her what she could get, silly girl!


Cian-we have discovered that he can write with both hands and very well too! He loves telling stories and is very imaginative! His favorite subject is hot lava right now, we always have to watch were we are stepping or what we are eating, red is the cool color right now! lol

Iollan-loves books and carries one around with him where ever we go. He is also very artistic for being so young! His favorite past time is drawing and I use it to encourage him to get things done. He loves to draw bugs and drew a ski boat that actually resembled one too. Too bad I had no camera on me and it was done on a magna doodle, so it didn't last long, but I did have an eye witness to it, my sister Fran, it was amazing! He is also almost done potty training, so all we have diapers is for night time use,nice huh! :)
