Kai's Preschool teachers

These were Kai's preschool teachers at Cherokee Trail Preschool. He loved them, and they loved him! Genuinely adored him. It made me feel so good that they enjoyed him so much! He's got his birthday crown on. Thanks Miss Colleen, Miss Jody, and Miss Melissa!

Hangin' at the hospital with Dane

We loved visiting Dane any time we could. Poor guy was stuck there for so long doing his chemotherapy. So we tried to bring some laughter and light-heartedness to him...

Kasey and Katie May 2011

With Katie and Kasey's family at Panera, one of my favorite places ever.
Katie and I got the kids together and went to a park to play. The boys could've thrown rocks into the water all day!

Bella (15 months) and Keani (11 months)

Then 2 bull snakes came to play, so we took off!

Mother's Day

This is what the Nursery Leaders made for the moms. It was so cute. It was a rice krispie treat for the vase, with skewers for the stems, and gum drops and cookies for the flowers. (I just got back from boot camp at 5:30am in this picture...I'm a little wasted.)

Not sure what was going on in these pictures...but here's Jett and Kai outside...I think we were doing bubbles. Now they're racing to open the garage door with the keypad. Very important documentation.
These were pictures we took for a cute gift Danelle made for Pam for Mother's Day. My kids were on one side of book ends, Danelle's were on the other, "holding" up the books.

Playing on the computer at Nana's.

Birthday presents 2011

Here are 2 of the presents Jackson got...only 2 pictures of the present opening ceremony...guess I was tired of taking pictures! I'll give myself the benefit of the doubt and say the camera ran out of batteries:) Love this boy!

Jackson's 8th birthday

Here we are, another birthday at Red Robin. What can I say, my kids love this place. I always try to talk them into something different, but ultimately it's up to them, so Red Robin gets a lot of business from our family. Duke (Brandon's son) and Kai

Ty (Dane's), Jackie, Kalea and Bekah (Brandon's)

Dane was showing the Red Robin to Tali and Jett.

I love my sweet boy Jackson. He is the greatest first born son because he is a huge help, and he's a great example to his brothers and sisters. I remember back to when he was a tiny little preemie in the NICU, and marvel at how much he's grown. He's a tall, handsome, athletic, funny, smart little man now. I love him so much!
