i found the cheese mom!

Eden was being way to quiet so I decided to check out what he was up to. I found him in the midst of my groceries pointing at me with a piece of cheese in his hands as if he was saying "I found the cheese mom!"

The poor block of cheese had nice teeth marks embedded it!

Alex takes off to the Ghana MTC!

I can't believe the time has come for my baby brother to leave on his mission. 

Alex was called to serve in Togo and Benin, West Africa.

I am so proud of him, and love him very much. 

He is such a great young man and a terrific example to Julien and Logan. 

He will be an amazing missionary!

Back to School!

This year I have a 7th grader as well as a 6th grader and a preschooler. This is Kia Ora's first year in school, she will be going full day. It is quite a lot of someone so little!

Off to the school bus

I decided to ride with Kiki on her first day. 

I was probably more nervous than she was.

She found her cubby, but her name was spelled wrong.

As soon as she found her chair she sat down and started working, or playing...

Happy 1st Birthday Eden!

Eden turn 1 today! I can't believe how fast this year has gone by. He is such a sweet boy. Eden loves to smile at everyone. He is a very happy baby. He loves to kiss those he loves most, dance, play with his siblings, wave, swim, play ball, climb stairs, scoot (not crawl), and snuggle his mommy!

Cutie!

Opening his present!

Cute Logan decided to read Eden the Very Hungry Caterpillar book to Eden since it was the theme of his birthday party.

Clean face before the eating of the cake!

After

lettuce for breakfast!

This girl insisted on having lettuce for breakfast! So lettuce it was!

That is one cute kid!

This is what happens when I go shopping with kids! I find lots of extra goodies while putting groceries away!
