Baby Lily Just One Day Old

I stopped by the hospital to see Andy and the new baby and Lily was so much more alert. Andy is doing great! What an amazing girl she is!!! And I just love that baby Lily to pieces. I hope Andy has 5 more kids! Her kids are the sweetest more darling kids ever!!!  But I have to say I love all of my neices and nephews!  I am so happy my kids have them for their buddies!  I don't know what my Ty would do without Zach!  He is his best pal.



Aunt Christy so proud to hold her neice! I can't wait to hold little Cederstrom babies either!! Wedding is in 85 days!!! So exciting!!!

Fishing with Daddy and Grandpa Coleman

I am so excited to report that my cute husband woke up at the crack of dawn ON A SATURDAY to take our kids fishing with his dad! I had too many things that I needed to get done so Kenny took them. Wahoooo! They had such a great time. Both of them caught a fish and the weather was just perfect. We are lucky to have such a fun grandpa who loves to do all kinds of outdoor activities with his kids and grandkids!

Ty's Kindergarten Program

My baby is growing up!
I can't believe he is almost SEVEN!
Almost Graduated from KINDERGARTEN!
What's next.... driving and dating ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
He is such a delighful, fun, energetic, smart, wonderful boy!!!!
Hayley and Jaxsen slept over and came with us to watch Ty's final Kindergarten Program. The whole class painted their shirts for the program. His teacher this year was Miss Cook, and we absolutely loved her! Ty did a fantastic job with all of his songs and even the dance portion! It was so fun seeing him with his friends and trying his hardest to do a good job!
Way to go Ty! We are SO proud of you!!!

Lunch with the Sisters

December 28, 2009

My cute mom took us to lunch at Sweet Tomatoes in Sandy. My kids stayed home with daddy since he is off all week and they were working on putting together the awesome marble track they got for Christmas. Ade was on her way back home to Blackfoot so we all had lunch together before she went home. I love their salad bar and they had amazing Chicken Corn Chowder this time!

I am amazed at how well little Jolie is talking! She just turned two in October and is so adorable and tiny. It just cracks me up when she tells Ade exactly what she wants. At one point she told Ade "I want to run!"  She was squirming in her seat wanting to get down so Ade told her she would go get her an ice-cream cone.  She liked that idea so Ade said to her "will you sit right here until I get back" and she very confidently said "YES"! So cute! ..... and she did sit there until she got back.

It was so nice to get together with the girls (and bubba) Steph and Christy were missed!!!!  I love being with the girls!!!  Makes me wish that Emily had a few little sisters to pal around with... but hopefully the cousins will be a good substitute.




Sweet Hayley

Bubba always cracks me up!

Snow Day!

December 13, 2009

Wow! Did we ever get a snow storm!!! The kids were thrilled! It was great packing snow but SO wet! By the time they came into the house their snow clothes looked like they had stood in the shower! I am so impressed with their snow-woman making skills. I was out of carrots for a nose... so they improvised. Emily used sunflower for the eyes and gave her a lovely head of hair. Ty gets so hot all the time and doesn't like wearing a full hat so he was wearing Emily's ear muffs. You know, I have looked all over the place! They do not sell those for boys. Ty is so bummed about that. He also dropped his gloves in the snow in the front yard and I found them a few days later so I threw them in the wash so he is wearing Emily's gloves too. Makes me giggle a bit.

My Pilgrim

December 6, 2009

You know when your kids create that master piece from school and you want to throw it away and you are met with much weeping and wailing!??!?! Ty created this work of art for the "Thanksgiving feast" at school. He loved it so it was moved from place to place in the kitchen. I finally told him that it had to go. He was NOT happy about that. I told him we would take a picture of it that way he could remember it forever. This is the best picture I got out of the three I took... the other two he has that if looks could kill look! I am glad he is proud of his work so I thought this picture was blog worthy :)

The Kids Saw Santa

November 30, 2009

WOW! It is that time already! Riverton City had their annual winter party at the Community Center so we went over after Ty was finished with Karate. It was a blast! They had warm scones and hot chocolate. And several fire pits to roast marshmellows. A cookie station, a craft station and best of all Santa and Mrs. Claus!
The kids both sat on Santa's lap. Ty asked for a telescope and a microscope and Emily kept her wishes a secret.
Before we went home we took a hay ride on a big trailer pulled by a tractor.
It was really fun to get into the spirit of Christmas and its not even December yet! Love it!
