November 13, 2008 Stacy & Scott Wedding!

The new couple with all the kids

Coming out of the temple!

Katie and Megan looking out the window from the Kirkland room of the Joseph Smith Memorial building looking at the temple. All the kids loved this they thought it was so fun to see everything from a birds eye view!

I Love to see the temple!

All the grandkids and Scott & Alicia sang together!

Scott and his new bride!

Katie being happy!





Scott played Stacy the song Grow old along with me on his guitar. It was really great. Her dad also sang her a song. And all of Scott's family (us)sang too. They come from such a musical family that this was perfect for Scott.

My kids at the temple!

The Grandkids at the reception! They looked great!






Katie at the reception!

Megan playing in one of many of the fountains. All the kids were soaked before the reception evee started. Oh well they had fun I guess. They had the reception at the Western Gardens and it was really nice.




Megan with Grandpa! I think she wanted mommy though!

Nicole with her girls!

Oh they looked so adorable! Don't worry girls "someday your prince will come too...for Stacy that Someday was today!"

We set up a movie in the middle of all the Christmas trees on sale at the nursery (the kids thought it was their secret hideout). They looked cute and it kept them entertained for a while. Thanks Peter Pan!

Rob was the best man he looked so great in his tux! Here he is with his big buddy Justin! He kept finding his dad in the line and hanging out with him. He was sure cute.

Telling the kids we were having a baby!

November 9, 2008

Today after church we told the kids I would be having a baby. I set the table with bibs as place matts, bottles as cups, baby bowls, baby spoons, and little baby books everywhere. They just laughed and said we aren't babies we aren't using these. They didn't think it was very funny of mommy to be tricking them in this way. We had to really work on them to get them thinking why would we have done this and eventually they figured it out. Although Justin didn't believe us at first he still thought I was joking. I had to go and get the ultrasound picture for him to really believe us.

Here we are at the table!

My first cake...

November 2008

So I explained I was taking a cake decorating class well here is the first cake I made. I gave it to a friend who lost her grandma and it definately wasn't amazing but I thought it turned out all right.

Here I am learning how to do the middle of the rose. Very tricky.

Wedding shower!

November 8, 2008

Today we had a wedding shower for Scott and Stacy. It was a recipe and food shower. I went in with Rob's sister Cheri and we gave the happy couple a Crock pot and a whole lot of yummy recipees to go with it. Then we went to the store and got them started with all the necesary things they would need. After some fun shower games of course!

The happy couple!

The Crock pot they wanted!

Looking at the recipees!

I hope we're ready for this!!

Ok so time to share the good news baby #4 due May 25th!!! We told the kids last night and they were so excited. Justin couldn't wait to tell his friends and family today. Mommy is just over 12 weeks now so I am happy the being sick stage is close to over!!! Yeah. I have been so nausiated every night from 6-10. Anyway we asked the kids if they wanted a boy or girl. All of us said boy except Katie. When we asked Justin he said "I'd like a brother mom but whatever Heavenly Father sends us is what our family needs hugh" he is so grown up, he made me want to cry. I guess we shall see in January!

November 2008

Okay so here is a story for you. Do you ever have something that you are looking forward too, really looking forward too and inside kind of excited about. Almost like a kid on Christmas morning. Well that was me on this day. I signed up for a class at Hobby lobby with a friend of mine from Robs work to learn how to decorate cakes. Well the class started at 6 I had it all planned out I would drop the kids off at 5:30 at the gym then Rob would work out and the kids would play in the child care. I would go to my class and perfect! Well not exactlly, last minute Rob had to stay at work and finish a job for the partner so that left me taking the three kids to my class, no big deal I have good kids. They know how important this is to me. I prepped them I bought them all a little toy to sit and play with in the corner quietly. Well not so. I must say that normally my kids really are good and they know when I am serious about things. They will sit and are really quite good. Well not this night, tonight it all backfired! My kids were the worst I have ever seen them really. Running around making noise, chasing one another, sliding on boxes, etc....basically horrible (not usually like my kids). Well I guess they had had too much sugar that day or were in a really silly mood or something. I was so embarrased when dad got there about 6:30 or so I handed the kids to him and almost started to cry. I had truly had it up to that point and I am one patient mom. I quickly explained what they had done and Rob gave them quite the talking too on the way home. Needless to say they didn't get to go to the gym to play but instead they got to go to the store and buy mommy flowers, and then went home to bed!!! Yup when I got home Rob had bought me a dozen roses and the kids bought me another set of flowers. I honestly didn't feel too bad about it. I will clarify I was in no way upset at Rob I understood he had to stay I was really just dissappointed with my kids. But they all made it up to me. And on the way home I actually went to our Enrichment at the ward for another hour and a half then I came home and that was great I needed that. As much as I love my kids I will say tonight they really pushed a lot of buttons. I am so glad I had places to go and relax for a few hours alone. I was excited to see them the next day and each one of them woke up and gave me hugs and appologized for the way they acted. Katie even said to me "mom are we still in trouble". They all promised that they would be better in the future and never act like that again and I told them I would hold them to that promise. I have good kids they just had a crazy night I guess. Anyway below are the flowers I got.

Justin's Halloween parade at School!

October 31, 2008

This morning we went to Justin's school to watch him in his Halloween parade. Here he is, we learned later his teacher told the kids to pretend they had marshmallows in their mouths so they wouldn't talk, so that is why he has puffy cheeks!

Superman!
Katie and Dad watching the parade, mom Megan, and Grandma were there too!

After this we went up to Rob's work and trick or treated at his office, that was a lot of fun and the kids had a great time. Then off trick or treating that night. I handed out candy and Rob took the kids! It was fun!

Happy Halloween! Kids in costumes!
