Sleepovers with Lydia

We got to play with Lydia for three days straight and two sleepovers. They kids were in heaven!!! We swam, played in the sand box, ran around and just plain had tons of fun!!!

She didn't really love the pool...but she colored instead..... Raini loved the pool....

And Bode just threw everything in the pool....whatever makes for some fun!

Gotta love Cousins!

Birthday and Booker

Happy Birthday!!! My mom does so much for me and my little family! I am extremely grateful for her and all she does!!! We had a little celebration, it was so fun to have Jared, Stacey and Booker in town also....

Plus, Jared helped my kids realize that not all dogs are scary. Normally my kids cry like crazy when they see dogs or get close to them...Well check this out!!! Playing pass!

I love this birthday Boy!!!

This kid is so fun!!! I can't believe he is four. Sometimes days seems so long but when I look back at his little life I can't believe how far he has come! He is definitely my little buddy. Full of energy and love for all those around him. Bode is for sure your typical Boy who loves anything to do with balls, baseball, soccer ball, etc. He is always climbing all over stuff, and runs everywhere he goes. There is also another side of Bode that is so sweet. He is the one that will cuddle with me at night. He is the one who asks how I am doing and listens when I need his help. He is always trying to do the right thing I love that about him. So here is a recap of the last four years...

Four year old cool kid...

Three...

One...love that smile...

So here is the celebration

With a little help from Google we came up with a Dino cake that he wanted....

And he loved the presents! Who doesn't....thanks for all the great gifts he loved them!!

Two Extremes

First we were here, Thanksgiving Point enjoying the beautiful weather, and pretty atmosphere. All my Sis-in-laws and there Mom's went and the kids....and then two hours later....

I was here.....

The hospital.....

So while I was at Thanksgiving Point I had a Placenta Abruption. Which means that the Placenta becomes detached from the Uterine wall. They don't think mine completely separated, but they think part of it might have. So it put me into active labor and the doctor sent me to the hospital to get steroids for the baby's lungs just in case I have the baby early and some medication to stop the contractions. So after my 48 hours of being on monitored bed rest they sent me home to my own bed. So pretty much I feel like a bump on a long. I don't know how people do this for weeks on end, I'm pretty sure it could make you crazy! However, I'm glad everything is okay with the baby so far and if I can just keep this little guy or gal in for two more weeks we will be home free!!! Thank you to my fam and friends who have been so concerned and helpful!

Ogden Temple

The weather was nice the other day so we went to the Ogden temple to take some pictures and get some ice cream. It was a beautiful! The grounds are amazing at the temple and a little ice cream doesn't hurt any.

Memorial Day Baseball

We love to go watch Dax, my nephew play baseball. It's neat to see how much he has improved just this season. This tournament was in the Spanish Fork area, kind of a drive but worth it.

Clint and Raini....

Bree Girl...

Breakfast on the Creek

So it has been a tradition for a really long time. A big breakfast at my Grandpa Knudsen's farm. It was absolutely beautiful. The kids had a blast and it is always fun to catch up with cousins.

Just love the girl cousins

Cute girls

Bode, had a hard time sharing the swings, he loved them!

The Family

We had fun throwing things in the big fire after breakfast.
