Say Cheese! Show us those pearly whites!

Bri with braces
Brianne got her braces off finally! She got them on right before Halloween in 2005. Overall she did really well with them, but she had to keep them on a little longer than planned because of her cleft lip. She had some teeth that were coming in the wrong places around the cleft but Dr. Brown did an amazing job getting them straight! How beautiful does she look? Now she has to wear a retainer at night to keep them straight. We got her some balloons and took her out to dinner to celebrate her special day.

plaid shorts in...denim shorts out!

The sun is out today so we had to pull out all of our new shorts we got at Park City a few weekends ago. Everywhere you look in the stores are plaid shorts, no more denim. My kids are looking pretty cute sportin their new stuff!
We are supposed to be hitting 70 degrees in the next few days, so fun days for us! I love the sun, it makes me happy...and as we all know...a happy mom makes a happy home!

off track

Brianne and Rachel are off track for an entire month. I really do love having them home more. (especially since I have a babysitter!) We get to stay up late, sleep in, go out to lunch, go to the library and just do whatever we want! Jessica leaves at 7:40 in the morning and she knows she has to be quiet like a mouse in the morning because everyone is still sleeping. She hates going to bed at night before her younger sisters. We think it's pretty funny and tease her. I took the girls to go see "Nims Island" with Kelly (who just found out she's pregnant!wahoo!!) and her kids. We had a lot of fun. Her kids came and played for awhile yesterday, they love to play with their cousins. We are planning on going to St. George in 2 weeks to get away for a few days before the girls go back to school, that should be fun! Today Theron took all the kids (except Jess) to Logan with him so I could have a break and they could spend time with their grandparents. It is a lot of fun having Theron's parents live close by. My kids love spending time with them. I didn't know what to do with all my time..it was so weird having a quiet house!

Lunch?

Atleast once a week I get a text from Jessica at school that says,

"Lunch?"
I know that means she is having a Dragon Hill craving just like her mom. We go so often that we know the waiter, Tim, really well. He always hooks us up with free soup and sits and chats with us. We love the food there, it is the best.

Jess and I have had some great mommy/daughter talks there. Lots of fun memories!

It's all about Brianne

I asked Brianne this morning what I should blog about, and her response was, "Well, you just did a blog all about Nathan so it should be all about ME!" Does that surprise anyone that she would say that??!! We gotta love our Brianne!
This was such a fun night. Brianne had her cousin Jolyn over and her friend Hadley. We went and saw a movie, then they came back and got their pajamas on and did their hair funky. We then made homemade pizza and had banana splits.
Side note: Brooke would not smile because she didn't like her hair! What a dramatic girl.
Easter morning. Brianne looked so b-e-a -utiful!

Ok, so it hit 50 degrees and we thought it was nice enough to have a picnic outside. They ended up using the blanket to keep them warm instead of sitting on it.

Coloring easter eggs with cousins Taylor and Allison and sister RachelMaking brownies with best friend Courtney. Hey Bri, please recheck the measurements!
Smooches!!!
I sure adore my Breezy Annie. She loves life! You will often find her dancing thru the house, singing in the shower, complimenting someone, playing webkinz...and just being a good friend!

Boy oh Boy!

Yes, Mom...I did it
Nathan on Easter Sunday. I really can't get enough of this kid! He drives me absolutely insane with his crazy "boy" stuff he does, but once I am away from him I crave him like crazy! Someone please explain that!

Meet my family

Me and my awesome hubby Theron. We have been married for 16 1/2 years and have been blessed with 5 beautiful children.
My daughter Jessica, 14. She is 5 '10" 1/2!!!!!! She loves basketball and to hang out with her friends. She has a 3.8 gpa and since I lost weight...I get to wear all of her cute clothes!
The two best friends, Brianne (11) and Rachel (almost 9). You very rarely see them apart from eachother. Brianne likes to read, play on the computer, do hip hop and play with her best friend Courtney. Rachel loves soccer, basketball, breaking bones (she has broken her arm 3x), and playing with her best friend Hadley. This is Brooke (5). She is very tall for a preschooler and is told that a lot. She loves to dress up,color, dance and fight with her little brother. She's excited to start kindergarten this summer and finally go to the "big school!" My precious, sweet, spoiled, only boy, 2 1/2yr. He has got it down on how to control our house. He basically gets whatever he wants so we don't have to hear him yell and scream. He likes to play in the dirt, hit his sisters, climb, be mischievious, and steal his mommies heart...I wouldn't trade him for anything!

And of course our new dog Bella...nothing else needs to be said!!!
