Congrats to my baby sis

On Saturday we all got up early to notice that it was snowing like crazy. We had to be to the college by 9:30 so we got ready and headed out. It was so neat to see my baby sister graduate from college. She has done so many wonderful things and I am sure she will do many more. I think back to when we were kids and some of the stuff we did was so weird. Now that we are older and more "mature" I am so glad to have a sister. I don't know what life would be like without her. Soon she is getting married and will be living only a couple of hours from me. I am glad that we will see her more. We always have so many laughs when we are together. I am lucky to have her as a sister. Congrats Danielle! I am so proud of you and love you so much.

Cousin Ayden

Kenzie and Ayden

I have a nephew that turned three in December and he loves the kids. He lives in South Dakota so he is really close to my dad and debbie but he is really excited to see us when we come. He carries a picture of him and the kids and tells everyone these are my "cousins" He is so fun and Kenzie loved hanging out with him.

Welcome to South Dakota

On Thursday, Kenzie and I flew to South Dakota to see my baby sis graduate from college. This was the first time Kenzie has flow and only my second time so I was a little nervous. The flight wasn't very long but I had a lay over in Denver so that made total time about 4 hours. The flight from Salt Lake to Denver got delayed by an hour due to weather which wouldn't have been so bad, had they not already had us on the plane when they found that Denver airport was closed. We ended up staying on that cramped plane for an extra hour. I was very happy when we landed in Denver and I found out we would take a smaller plane to South Dakota and it was only half full. Kenzie and I enjoyed that much better. There to greet us was my always reliable dad. Kenzie was a little nervous when he picked her up but she soon found that his shaved head was fun to feel.

Party Time

On Sunday we celebrated Ashton and Wyatt's (his cousin) birthdays. My kids had gotten a big blow up slide play toy so we had all the cousin's and some friends over to play on it. The water was freezing but the kids must have not cared because they just kept playing. After words we had cake and ice cream. It was funny because Ashton's cake was white and orange frosting and Wyatt's cake was white and orange frosting. Ashton's was Shrek though and Wyatt's was dinosaurs but it was kinda funny. It was so nice to have our friends and family here. I love having my patio and a huge back yard. I know we will enjoy that this summer. Happy Birthday Ash!

Where did the time go?

I don't know where the time has gone but Ashton will be 10 years old on Thursday. It seems like not long ago he was just a 5 lb. 5 oz. newborn in my arms as content as can be. And now I am afraid we are seeing signs of puberty. He has always been so mild tempered and now you just say the wrong thing and it's like a whirl wind has gone off. Regardless he is still my mama's boy and I think he always will be.

Computer Nuts

Since we have gotten our computer the kids have been on it constantly. (When I am not on it that is) The other day Kaylee was holding Kenzie and she was just as memorized by the computer as the rest of us. Kaylee was checking out Hannah Montana and Kenzie was right along with her. They were so funny. I made the girls get off the computer and Kaylee started crying and Kenzie followed suit. I guess its the day of technology.
