What kid doesn't love stickers! Mine certainly do. They were so happy playing with these and were entertained forever. However, my house was covered in stickers along with them.

This picture is definitely one for the books. It is probably the only time they have and will ever lay quietly by each other.

So Ridge is super wild and very head strong now. He is in to climbing big time and getting whatever he wants. He has quite the little (BIG) personality!

I'm a little late with updating my pictures, but better late than never! These are the kids very cute valentine outfits from Grandma Miller. Thanks Grandma!

Happy 1st Birthday

I honestly can't believe it has been 1 year already. I say it all the time but my kids really are growing so fast. I love all the things they teach me and all the experiences that come with being a mother. Happy 1st birthday baby boy!

I was so excited to give Ridge these balloons for his birthday but little did I know they would be so traumatizing. He was absolutely petrified of them and didn't want to be anywhere near them. Oh well, maybe next year!

The fam on Christmas morning. You gotta love Justin's Grinch jammies!

The kids acted out the Nativity and it was pretty cute. It was quite a challenge getting all the kids to want to participate. Max was fine as long as he didn't have to dress up and if he could hold his toy airplane. Colter was good as gold as soon as he was able to choose his own costume (which was an old Chinese robe laying in the basement) and hold the sword that Grandma made him. Wise men have swords right? Kasey was pretty sure that he was a ninja instead of a Shepherd. Kenli was perfectly fine as long as she felt like everyone was watching her. It was so fun to see each of their own little personalities shine.

The Fam decorating Christmas cookies at our family party.

Darin and Janey came home for Christmas and as you can tell Kenli has missed her best buddy Colter. She spent the first hour with her arms clenched around Colter, kissing him. It's a good thing Colter was a good sport about all the kissing.

Kenli at the Miller Christmas Party. She was so in to Santa this year which made it really fun. She was so excited to see him and took a little moment to sing him "Mary had a little lamb!" I'm sure Santa was incredibly impressed.

Ok so I know my posts are way late but I have a lot to catch up on. This was at the Santaquin light parade. It was so cold and we were all crammed in the little car but we had fun anyway.

I love this baby boy so much! It amazes me how much they learn everyday at this stage. He is so funny and is getting quite a little attitude.

Ok, so I know it has been forever since my last post and I promise I will be posting pictures soon. Things have been very busy and life just continues to plunk away. Everything is going well. Justin is working a ton, Kenli is running the household as usual, Ridge is turning 1 on Friday (I absolutely can't believe my baby is already 1....SCARY!), and as for me, I am just trying to keep up with everyone else! Look for pictures to come soon.

Happy Halloween

This year we spent Halloween up at Grandma & Grandpa Miller's. We had homemade Chili, Cinnamon Rolls, and lots of treats. Kenli had a blast and so did Ridge. When we were out trick-or-treating Ridge was just laughing and hollering the entire time. We had tons of fun!

Kenli getting ready to Trick-Or-Treat! She was so excited this year and we had tons of fun. She wasn't quite sure who she was supposed to say trick-or-treat to. As we were walking down the street she would stop adults who were taking their kids around, and say Trick-or-Treat! The general reply was, "I don't have any candy honey, but aren't you cute"!

Hey Witches gotta sleep too!

Ridge and his Harley Dude costume. He looked so stinking cute!

Ridge was crawling all over and getting into everything when I found him here. He thought this was awesome and played in this one spot for about 20 minutes. I can't believe he is already 9 months old. I am so amazed everyday at how quick these little guys are to grow and learn.

So Ridge is officially Army crawling as of 10/10 and man is he fast. His favorite things to go after are food (as you can see), Kenli's toys (actually anything Kenli doesn't want him to have which is essentially everything), and the toilet (ew gross!).

Kenli's First Hunt

So Kenli was so extremely excited to go hunting this year and there was absolutely no talking her out of going. I think it was better than Christmas for her. She only slept about a total of 2 hours the night before and was asking the entire time if it was time to going hunting yet. They came across this deer first thing opening more and that was that! Kenli couldn't wait to tell me that her dad had shot a HUGE deer (in her words). I think we could have a major problem on our hands....oh well, gotta love it!

Kenli and her new Job!

So this weekend we went Deer Hunting and Justin needed to put new tires on the Hunting truck to get it ready. Well Kenli has an obsession with helping her dad whenever he is working and this was no exception. I was shocked at how she actually knew how to put the lug nuts on and then use the tool to tighten them. She thought this was pretty awesome...and so did her Dad!

I honestly can't believe how fast these little buggers grow. Ridge is doing something new everyday and I am finding it very hard to keep up with him and Kenli. He has just started army crawling and man is this kid quick. I love anticipating the next new thing!

Ridge loved the water!

Kenli was very scary in the water. She isn't afraid of anything and she thinks she's a lot bigger than she really is. It didn't even bother her to go under water. She wouldn't wait for anyone to help her. Justin and I realized that she has to wear a life jackit at all times.

Colter's SuperMan into the water. The kids loved swimming and they were pretty funny.

So this picture represents the fun, crappy, and sad part of this last weekend. Sunday was our last day with Darin and Janey before they left for Pennsylvania. We had a great time but we are so sad to see them leave. This whole process of them leaving is so bitter sweet. We are so proud and excited for you guys but at the same time so upset that you are gone. Kenli and Colt are best buddies and don't really understand what's going on. The web cam is going to have to be our best friend. We miss you guys tons already. Love you guys!!

We went camping with the Miller Fam this last weekend and had a blast. Justin had this bright idea to ride in the back of the Rhino in his camping chair. It was pretty funny and of course he thought it was the most comfortable thing in the world.

The Big 3

I can't believe my baby girl is 3 years old. It's amazing how fast time goes by. I was so excited to give her this Baseball mit/ball and it actually was a pretty big hit!

Kenli loved the balloons but was wondering why there was so many. She only wanted one!

We celebrated Kenli's 3rd Birthday on July 13th. Daddy went to the store the night before and bought 15 pink balloons and a barbie. He was pretty proud that he would walk out of Walmart with these things. It's amazing how little girls can soften their Dads.

We spent the 4th of July in Delta with the fam and had a great time. We went to the parade, played on the huge water slide, played games, ate, went to the derby, and watched the fireworks. The kids had a blast! Thanks Mom and Dad for letting us all hang out for the weekend!

Kenli loved her 4th of July outfit and she looked stinking cute in it!

Don't worry....My 5 1/2 month old is almost as big as my 3 year old!

I thought this action picture was hillarious!

We spent the day on the huge water slide, and it seems that it has become a new favorite toy for the entire family. I think the adults actually liked it more than the kids. None of us could walk after playing on it but it was still a blast!

Daddy and Ridge

Kenli grabbing the treats at the parade. She loved the parade, especially the dancers. She stood and shook her booty for about 5 minutes.

Lexi, Colter, and Kenli
Colter was a pretty good sport about letting the girls kiss him, but after awhile he had enough.
He started running away and wiping the kisses off.

Camping

We spent the weekend camping in Oak City with the fam! It rained a ton but we still had a lot of fun. It was so good to have everyone there.

Ridge absolutely loved camping and especially being outside. He slept all night for 3 nights in a row which is more than I can say for when we're home. He's pretty stinking cute!

The kids love the 4-wheelers and the helmets! We are so lucky that the kids are so good about wearing the helmets. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for buying such neat helmets!

Max, Kenli, Colter
The kids had so much fun playing in the dirt and the rain. They were fighting over Kenli's little 4-wheeler the entire time. They have quite the love/hate relationship...especially Kenli and Colter! I don't know what we would do without all of these precious kids.

This is Ridge's newest thing. He was getting so mad because I was swaddling him and he wanted his arms out. He would fight until he got them out and then knock his binky out. It was this endless cycle all night...wrap him up, get his arms out, knock his binky out, cry...! Finally I used a little motherly thinking or what I like to call critical thinking. I grabbed this stinking cute giraffe my mom bought him when he was born. He wraps his arm around it and wala... he is occupied! He still occassionally knocks the binky, but it is much better than before.

End of School Party

Roberta threw a huge end of school party for the kids with food, games, toys, and a massive water slide. They had so much fun. Thanks Roberta for always doing such fun things!

I can't believe how much Ridge looks like his daddy. I guess the saying is true, "Like father, Like Son!" Ridge was enjoying the party too.

Roberta had this huge water slide/toy that the kids absolutely loved. Kenli wasn't sure about the slide because everytime she went down it she got sprayed in the face. She just wanted to be the one spraying the water!

Kasey, Kenli & Max
Kasey seemed to be quite annoyed that I was making him stand there to take the picture. They were having so much fun there was no time to stop.

Kenli loved the water gun and would not let go of it. She was spraying all the big kids, which I think was getting pretty annoying to them, but she was having a blast.
