Happy Birthday to Clark!

Clark turned 2 years old! He is starting to try and say a few more words, but he can fully communicate with mom, she understands everything he is trying to say, including "batteries".  He got his car and showed me where the batteries go and since it wasn't working he was pointing and say something like, "eries". I thought it was genius, even though Max at age 2 was fully communicating! For Max's 2nd birthday he said he wanted a Spider man Birthday with a penyata. Ha! What a difference it is from your 1st to your 6th child.

We had a small family birthday celebration for our cute Clark.

 Yummy!

 His new trike from mom and dad!

 A car from Grandma Susan and $5 from Grandpa & Grandma Gravell.

Happy 2nd Birthday Clark! We are so thankful to have you in our family!

We love you so much!

Great Job Hanna!

Hanna has worked hard on her multiplication facts and was one of the first in her class to pass them all off!

Dentist

Walt got a little sleepy during his dentist appointment while filling his cavity.

Silly Kids

Triple piggy back ride from dad.

Hanna and Van love playing in the mud after it rains.

Dressing up as super heroes even if the clothes are way too small.

Max, Hanna and Van playing "school".

Van had pink eye on Valentines Day so I bought him this patch so we could go to his class at the end of the day to pass out V-day cards and more importantly (Van would say) pick-up his V-day candy!

He liked showing up to his class looking like a pirate!

Clark is starting to wean from naps, so sometimes he'll fall asleep in the strangest places.

Van stole my phone and took this crazy pic. of him!

Trip to AZ

We were able to go to AZ and visit my brother and go to the Gilbert AZ Temple Open House! 

It was a quick trip, but we had a great time!

 Greg, Brody and Ella joined us for the temple open house. 

They even came to church with us the next day!

 I love this one of Clark looking at the temple.

 Clark and Ella playing at the park.

 Clark was exhausted. He feel asleep with while eating his sucker.

 It was warm enough to play at the splash pad.

Love this picture of Clark and Ella!

 The kids loved riding Brody's battery operated dirt bike, super fun!

Walt crashed into a bush and quickly jumped up saying, "I'm okay!"

What a blessing it was to have Greg and his kids come to church with us!

 It was great seeing my friend Laura and holding her sweet little twin babies.

Valentine's Day

Since we were going to be in AZ for Valentine's Day this year we had a V-day family dinner on the 13th. I decorated the table, bought some candy, juice, made GF cupcakes and had pork chops, rice and green beans for dinner; which is one of the kids' favorite meals. It was a crazy busy day (with a speeding ticket included), but I was happy to be able to squeeze it in.

Danny and I have gone out with our friends Jeff and Autumn for 8 years now. It's our Valentine's Day Tradition! We ate at Jerry's Nugget for prime rib this year and Autumn's parents babysat the 10 kids, what troopers! (This is a really bad pic.of us, but oh well). We always have a great time with the Levitt's!

Family Time

We went to the park for a picnic last Sat. (Hanna's request) and we had so much fun!

We had our picnic, the kids rode their bikes, played tag, played Red Light Green Light,

played Mother May I and just enjoyed being together.

I love this cute family of mine so much!

Max

Max graduated from the D.A.R.E. program.

We had a fun night at the Pinewood Derby!

Misc.

The kids have been loving bubble baths lately.

Picking my battles with Daisy. She is so fun!

Park weather.

The kids have been enjoying their bikes!

Danny is taking wood shop and made this neat cutting board.

Our nephew Tanner left on his mission to the Mexico City East Mission.

He has such a strong testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ

and we are so proud of the example he is to our children!

Girls Night Out

Daisy, Hanna and I had a fun day shopping with our friends the Severts!

Since the store employee gave Daisy this basket to "shop" with she went to town!

The only problem was she only has $1.00 to spend. Needless to say,

she wasn't this happy when we left the store.

Daisy's first time shopping at the mall.

Hanna with her bestie, Briley.

We had a great time with these fun girls!

Love this Cute Boy

We finally slept through the night without a baby in our bed!

Poor Hanna said she slept horrible!

It was nice while it lasted.

 It's been so nice spending time with just Clark while the other 5 kids are in school.

It's been so fun! 

It brings back so many memories when I just had Max.

He's so cute and growing up way to fast!

For Family Home Evening the kids love taking turns standing on the chair and choosing a song. 

Clark's song is always "Popcorn Popping".

We love you Clark Edmond!

Date Night with this Sweet Girl

Hanna and I went on a date night to the mall.

Hanna loves Chinese food.

While eating dinner she said, "there's something hard in my food!"

 It was her tooth!

We had a lot of fun together!

I feel so blessed having this girl in my life.

I love you so much Hanna!
