Olivia Daun turns 6!!!!

November 13, 2012

Oh how I can't believe that Olivia is already turning one year older. She loves getting bigger, I keep begging her to stay little for awhile longer!!  She is loving being a school girl, she is a wonderful student and learning so much!

I decided since this was a non friends birthday party year that I wanted to do something special for the two of us. After she got done with school we headed over to lunch at the Beehive Grill and then went and got a manicure and pedicure.  She loved it and so did I!  Such a fun after noon. After we had dinner with our little family. Olivia loved getting a pink scooter, she can't wait to cruise around the neighborhood. 

We feel so honored having this little angel baby girl in our family. She brings so much light and happiness into our home!  Although I'm sad that she is getting older, I look forward to watching her learn and grow as she goes throughout her life!!  

Happy 6th Birthday Baby Girl!!

Halloween 2012

We love Halloween at our house!  It is even better when their Halloween costumes are easy and we have most everything at our house!  The kids loved running around the neighborhood going trick or treating, Payton made it half way around before he fell asleep!  I enjoyed having a yummy, spooky meal ready for them by the time they got home!!

What Payton is really good at, picking his lip!

 

The kids loved going to see Grandpa Rhodes, it is a tradition to go visit Grandpa before we start the door to door trick or treating.

Fall Extravaganza Baseball... {St George}

{October 25-29, 2013}

Marcus had a baseball tournament in St. George, so me and the kids loaded up and headed on our way to sunny St. George to stay with my Grandma.  It was wonderful weather, we loved it (it was better then then the early snow that northern Utah was getting)!  We loved spending time with Grandma and appreciated her so much letting the little kids stay with her while all of his games were going on and feeding us so well!  

 

Marcus played six ball games in three days...

We also had fun hanging out with our friends...

 

 

We loved winning the tournament....

And we thought it was perfect to end out trip with our tradition of rock climbing and getting all four kids picture taken in this one certain spot!

 

I sure do love these four kiddos!  I love these moments that everything feels perfect (just wish Dad was there to join us!).  I also love what good little buddies these four are...

 

Until next time St. George......



Nana and Papa's Halloween Party & Papa's Happy Birthday!

October 20, 2012

 

This year we had to have our Annual Halloween Party a little earlier then normal, so Nana and Papa planned a little different activity for us this year.  Papa got the "Fun Bus" again this year, the kids were super excited about that!  We drove the fun bus to Logan for our wild and fun party!

 

 

We went to the Logan Pumpkin walk.  I havent' been for awhile, I just love walking through it to see how creative people can get, it is honestly amazing!

 

 

I love how close these seven cousins are.  The four older boys are close in age and the two little girls are really close in age, but all six of them are so good to Payton.  I just love to watch how they treat him and play with him like he is big like them!

 

 

We also got to get eat at our favorite Fredrico's Pizza!!

 

 

We also went to the park to play football and let the little kids play in the leaves.  Once we were done we went to Kneaders so we could all pick out a dessert for Papa's birthday!

 

Happy Happy Birthday to the best Papa around!!
