All dressed up and ready for her pre-school program!!
They all did such a good job, I was so proud!!
And another picture outside, what a beautiful girl she has become! We are excited for another year of pre-school, and then it will be off to big kid school. AHHHHHHH !!!!
We had a birthday party for Kohen at the pool by our house! It was so much fun, thank you to everyone who came! It was a huge success!!! We BBQ'd hot dogs, had lots of good food, swam and enjoyed the beautiful day! Happy Birthday to my baby boy :) I decided to make cup cakes since I bought a nice cake on his actual birthday. I love to bake, so it was fun for me :)
Me and Kohen in the pool! It really is such a nice little pool thanks to a bunch of our neighbors who have ran it over the years! We really don't come too much, but I think we will start now that the kids are not babies and I am not prego!
Mom, Addi and Hopee! So many people showed up to the party, thanks again everyone!
Kade, Brookie, Ayla, Grace & Marissa, enjoying some birthday cupcakes!
Violet and Teyah. Love your hat V!!!
My beautiful sis'n'law Andrea, enjoying the sunshine!
My cutie pie Gracie, loving the pool! I really need to get her into some swim lessons this year, she loves the water!

Grandma 'Ne and Mark chillin under the shade!
My long time BFF Heather and her hubby Steve dropped by Kohen's party, thanks guys!! (look Heather, you made the blog!!) Love you Heather, I don't know what I'd do without you in my life!
My little man is now 1 years old!!! I can't even believe it! Thinking back to 1 year ago when he was born, its just the most amazing experience you could ever have in your life! I love my kids soooo much, they have been a major blessing in my life!
Yummmmy ... birthday cake!!!
Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Kohen, Happy Birthday to you!!!
One of his favorite toys ... a ball :) And then he got some toy trucks of course and a new swim suit for his party!
Grandma Sherrie and Grandpa Dennis came over for dinner on Kohen's birthday. Sherrie's birthday is a few days before Kohen, so we had them over to celebrate :)
Here are a bunch of pictures from our Memorial Day camping trip with the Hartleys! It was beautiful weather and such a nice camping spot! We had a blast! So as for the picture below, do you love how Valerie holds her gun?? tee hee !!
Aren't these just the cutest little girls ever!!! They had so much fun running around together :)
I really needed something for Kohen while camping and this was perfect! He loved to be pulled around with all the kids and play!
And here is the oldest of all the cousins, Breanne the sharp shooter!!
Kyle and his bb gun ... looking for something fun to shoot!
Me and my baby boy, relaxin under the shade :)
Gotta play some horse shoes while camping! Tatum and Breanne!
Such a big boy in his chair!! hee hee I love this pic :)
Hope and Scott ... they came up for the day with their kids since we were camping pretty much in their back yard .. LOL. My little family stayed at the Hyatts the night before we came camping. It was fun to visit and let the kids play!
Me and my man ... coffee and a gun, what could be better than that?
My always looking beautiful sis Valerie! Mwahhhh! Can't wait till our next camping adventure!
Mmm mmm mmmm ... strawberry jam!! I never knew just how easy it was to make! I made 4 good size jars from 3 small boxes of strawberries. I actually bought 5 things of strawberries and 5 things of cool whip. Why you ask? Well here we go ... I have become a coupon FREAK! It is so much fun, you have no idea!! I went to a coupon conference and have now become addicted to coupons and killer deals!! I bought my strawberries on sale 3/$5, and then they had a peelie coupon on the strawberries to get $1 off when you bought cool whip too. WELL, cool whip was on sale for 99 cents, so it was like it was FREE. AND you got back a $3 catalina coupon for your next shopping trip. SO 5 strawberries/5 cool whips for $5.35 (or $0.53 each)! ummm WOW :) But anyway, we are still plugging along with our Dave Ramsey plan and I wanted to find another way to save money. Coupons was the answer! It is amazing what you can save when you buy stuff when its on sale and then add a coupon! Plus I get 3 Sunday papers each week (yes 3!) and so when something is a killer deal, I stock up and get 3 of them! For instance, I just got a $2 off Pampers wipes coupon (3 of them). Well the price at Target was $1.97 for wipes, sooo what did I get ... 3 things of Pampers wipes FREE!!! Great way to stock up your shelves with food for emergencies! There are so many bloggers out there that do the homework for you and you can seriously save so much money on your groceries! I now save 50% or more on my groceries every time I shop, and I get tons and tons of stuff for FREE! Love it!!
Lazy bones Rocky!! The dogs own my couch ... I seriously can't wait to get some new ones that are for humans only!!! :)
Kyle's favorite weekly chore, mowing the lawn!! This is our back yard, another things the dogs rule! But we do have a good garden growing up along the fence now, all thanks to Kyle! And our front yard looks amazing. Kyle loves to be outside and digging dirt ... I like to sit and watch :)
One thing we really enjoy in the spring and summer time is our fire pit! So nice to kick back in a chair and watch a beautiful fire! Love it! We BBQ a few nights per week when its warm outside, so we use our patio quite a bit.
My 2 beautiful girls, Grace and her BFF Chloe. Kyle recently started letting Chloe sleep at the foot of Gracies bed. They both are happy sleepers because of it!
Kohen LOVES to be outside! He loves to explore and find rocks and sticks ... and of course eat a little dirt!
AND ... Look who is walking!!!! My baby boy is growing up so fast!! He zips up and down the stairs and gets in to absolutely everything! Such a naughty little stinker, I just love him!! He is so much fun! Welll until next time, ta ta!!!
