Our little ATHLETE!!!

Kennady is becoming quite the little athlete lately. Today she started soccer and she LOVED it.
This picture cracks me up because the coach told them to kick the ball and try and get it into the air.... she apparently thought she was supposed to go into the air because she walked up to the ball and jumped while kicking it at the same time. I think that would be much harder than just kicking it! :)


Kennady talked her Grandma into getting her a new bike. She hasnt figured out how to pedal it yet, but she has been trying everyday since she got it!


Since Uncle Matthew is leaving on his mission soon, he has been home and we have enjoyed spending all the time we can get with him!


Kennady kicking the soccer ball, looks like this time it didnt go very far


Over the weekend the boys left for Salt Lake so we dicided to take Kennady to her first 3D movie. She had a blast! We saw Monsters vs. Aliens and she loved it. She kept trying to dodge the different things that "popped" out at her

Overall we have had a FUN few days. And we cant wait because Taylor gets to come see us this weekend!!! What a fabulous end to an already GREAT week!!

Easter Weekend!!

We had a great Easter Weekend this year! My pictures arent in order, but here is what we did. Friday night we got to Rigby around 7 so we had a little easter party a bunch of the kids. It was great because Taylor hadnt seen any of them since we left for England so they were all so excited to see each other. FOr the party we had 7 kids dyeing eggs and we had 18 dozen eggs. They had A BLAST!!! Then we had an easter egg hunt, where they all racked in a HUGE sack full of goodies! Then Saturday my cousin Jennifer got married and she made an absolutely BEAUTIFUL bride. Unfortunately I didnt get any pictures of the bride and groom together... not sure how that happened.


All the little cousins at the wedding... arent they cute. This is the best picture we could get with all of them in it!

Hello from IDAHO!!!

Im sure you all know we are now in Idaho... well the kids and I are. Bill flew back to England on Saturday (we miss him already). Here is my brother Matthew and all my kiddos, the day after we arrived ready for church!


This picture just cracks me up. Those glasses were actually mine in third grade... stylish huh?



This was just outside of Macys. The girls are doing their best silly faces. It was one of the only warm days we have had so far... it got up to 72 degrees... NICE!


Yes my boys fight over toys already. If you look closely you will see that Bryson actually has a hold of Jaydens collar. haha



I want that DOG!

Mini Photo Shoot....

with just the girls. I have been eyeing these gorgeous flowers all month, so I finally decided that before we leave for the states, I had to get some pictures in them. Its awesome the grow EVERYWHERE. They take the place of weeds in the states. Seriously there are just random patches in parks, along the roads, even in peoples yards....




































So do you think any of these are wall worthy???

Parent Teacher Conference

Bill and I went to Taylor's Parent Teacher Conference yesterday, and we were so excited to hear that she is doing great. She has just about caught up with the British kids on everything. (they are about a year ahead of the American schools). Taylor has been learning the recorder in school and Miss King said she is doing AWESOME at that and wants her to start a wind instrument of her choice next year. Its awesome they can take music lessons at school, during lunch or after school, depending on the instrument you choose... FOR FREE. Taylor is so excited about this. At the moment she thinks she wants to play the flute or the clarinet... we will see though, her choice is changing hourly. haha Im so glad Taylor has adapted so well to such a new and different system!!

A trip to see BARNEY!!!!!

Im sure you all know that Kennady's very favorite thing, in the whole wide world is Barney. BJ and Baby are close seconds though. We decided that for her birthday we would make the 2 1/2 hour drive to a resort called Butlins, that featured a Barney show. The smile and complete awe that Kennady showed was totally worth the trip!

Taylor and Barney


Kennady holding Barney's hand. She was so cute. We waited in line for about 30 minutes for the chance to get to meet Barney. Most of the kids got shy when they finally got their turn, but not Kennady. On her turn she ran up there and grabbed his hand just like the lady said. When she was done getting her picture taken you could tell she didnt want to leave, so the lady said, "why dont you give him a cuddle" She quickly ran back over there and gave him a GREAT BIG hug. It was so cute. I of course had already turned off my camera! Dang!




Kennady when she first saw Barney walk on stage. She was seriously in awe the whole time!

Yesterday...

When I went to pick up Taylor from school, she jumped in the car and the first thing she said was "whoa Kennady what did you do". If you know Kennady, you know those are not good words to hear when they pertain to her. My first thought was OH GREAT. I looked back and Kennady had colored all over her face and hands. When I asked her why she did that she said "Im a monster". Heres a picture of my little monster!


Just some more cuteness

Bryson is in the grey stripes and Jayden is in the blue stripes!
