cameron got his braces off

My little cameron got his braces off about 3 weeks ago. He looks so cute with them off. I told him he looked older. Can I just say, he is stinkin good looking. Spencer get's his off in October and can't wait. It will be just in time to put payton in them! Such is life huh!!!

fun times

So we have been trying something new as a family. We try to stump lovey. Here's how this game works. Lovey is like a juke box. The boy knows just about every song ever made. He can guess a song the first 4-5 notes it's played. So we hang out around the computer and start playing songs for lovey. Well this one night we started getting into it with dancing. Here are a few pictures of that. Spencer entertained us with his dance to "boogie shoes". Cracked me up. He looked like napolean dynamite. We had lots of fun.
I have tried 3 times to download the video and it won't let me. Sorry.

am I getting shorter or are my kids growing

I feel like I am short for the first time in my life. I have always been tall, but here recently I am starting to feel rather short. Cameron is not longer at eye level. Spencer is almost at my eye level. I feel when they get to this stage that time is going by too fast. Lovey and I were talking a little bit ago how fast this time has gone and that cameron will be gone in 4 years. It was like a ton of bricks hit me right then. The next 4 years will go by so fast. I am sadened and happy all at the same time. They are starting new phases of life. Cameron is entering into high school this year and that scares the crud out of me. I would like to keep him here at home with me. Spencer will be graduating from jr. high next year and payton soon after. I am just going to have to stunt aaron and mady's growth some how. Time flies. Life is so short. Enjoy it while you've got it. I also have to say that I am very thankful that heavenly father has given me and lovey the blessing of raising 4 rowdy, rambunctious, goodlooking boys and a beautiful, happy girl (poor thing). I will get the opportunity to send out 4 missionaries. What a huge responsibility and great blessing. I am thankful for my 5 blessings well 6 if you count lovey, and he is a huge blessing. I love them all.

spring break

Cameron tired from mountain man rendezvous










I am a little behind on blogging and I know this was back in march, but it's my blog and I can blog when I want to. So here goes.
Spring happens around here in March. My kids got out the middle of march and had a week off. It was great weather. Cameron went on the mountain man rendezvous. He had so much fun. Before it, he had been working on a knife. They get the opportunity to pick a knife and make it themselves. So he had been working on it for a good month or so. It was a great experience for him. He came home exhausted and stinky. He said it was well worth it. Spencer did a campout also on that week. So payton, aaron and mady were left to their own devices. They so badly wanted to go to the swimming pool, but the pool was closed for renovation. So we went to our local walmart and bought a blow up pool and bubbles. It kept them entertained for a couple of hours. They had a ton of fun and the best part was they weren't driving me crazy!!! You gotta love those school breaks.
