It's Dress Up Time

Laura Allen and her Girls...
Laura had has been a wonderful friend and was so sweet to give me a baby shower. We had yummy healthy food and many sisters from the ward were able to attend. I got some adorable outfits. It was fun to get pink stuff once again. Kyndra, Hailee and I will have so much fun dressing Isabella.. Since we got a lot of adorable dresses.

Thank you so much Laura for a Wonderful Day...

My friend(Sharie) made me a beautiful quilt just in two weeks.

I've always been wanting to learn how to quilt. I've had Sharie teach me. It's been a lot of fun. She's been a great teacher.














Water Girls


Beach Babes!!!!!


For spring break we went to Boca to Red Reef where we were able to snorkle. We found that The Allen Family had decided to go too. It was fun to see them there. The girls got together and played for the rest of the day.




The Allens got a cube for their pool. The girls had a great time.

As you see we found ourselves in the water all the time. We are enjoying the warmer weather and the sunshine.























Girls Night out

30 weeks and growing


For those you wanted to see my bump.
Here I am. I am feeling good.

Some days are better than others. She is always kicking. Everything checks out good. Just few more weeks. Yipee

These ducks are always swimming in the pond in our back yard. This is a male.
I think they are the ugliest things. But we want them to hang around because if not, there could be somthing swimming that doesn't belong in the water. It's fun to watch them walk. They sure know how to waddle. Somtimes I feel I look like them when I walk. Ha, Ha,


I'm a Big Boy Now


After Spring break we decided to have the kids start to ride their bikes to school and from school, since its only just alittle over a mile away. So Dad, Micheal and mom were on their way to ride with them every morning and sometimes in the afternoon. Michael got alot of practice. He was trying to ride with no hands, pettling superfast, He was doing very well with his training wheels. So one afternoon we decided to take them off. David started to hold the back of the seat, Then suddenly he just took off ALL by his self. NO HELP at all. We were all amazed. I didn't think it could be that easy. He could start and stop too. He even road down the street with Gabe. He just wants to be a big boy. Micheal has started to swim too. He still needs help of mom and dad. But he's getting it. He is growing up too fast. April has been a big growing month for Micheal. We are so proud of him. It will be nice to have him swim when the baby comes. That was my Goal. Ya


Family Wagon

Well, we decided to get a bigger vehicle for the growing family. The kids are enjoying all the room inside. It doesn't have the power locks, window, etc. but we are okay with it. Having the room will be nice.

Alma 53:20

And they were all Young Men, and they were exceeding Valiant for courage, and also for strengh and activity: but behold this was not all-they were men who were true all times in whatsoever thing they were entrusted. Yea they were men of truth and soberness, for they had been taught to keep the commandments of God to walk uprightly before him.


The proud Mom.

He's growing up so fast. He's such a joy to have in our home.


Father like Son.

They are all a fun group of boys.

Happy Easter

Every year our community has a Easter egg hunt. There was over a 1,000 eggs. Only those who were under seven could hunt for the eggs. And the Easter bunny came to visit. The kids had a great time. There were little prizes in the eggs. But the boys were alittle disappointed that there wasn't any candy.





Coloring eggs.

We decided to tie-die the eggs this year. It wasn't has fun, But I think the next year we will stuck to the old fashion way. Just using the colored water in cups. But we did have a fun time together.


The race is on!!!!

They came back with about 6-7 eggs. I know its not much. There were a lot of kids and the boys were taking there time. The parents could not help them.
