A Blog of Firsts

So Bam Graduated from preschool this year and is getting ready to start KINDERGARTEN in the fall. Not sure how I really feel about that but it is going to happen so I might as well get used to it. So they had preschool graduation they got all dressed up in graduation gowns and even did the graduation walk it was really cute. Every thing was going ok, until Bam had to get up and say a poem that he had to memorize and he wouldn't do it unless he had his teachers help which is not like him but I just thought he was in some weird shy mood. (like that ever happens) so the Graduation goes on and he just isn't acting happy so afterwards i wanted to get a picture of him and his teacher and he started to cry and said that he had an earache. so we got hardly any pictures and went home put ear drops in and a heating pad on, needless to say he is still super excited to be going to the same school as Ashton. We did get a few pictures and here they are....
this was right before graduation

I like this one it looks like he is kissing his teacher but he is not she was helping him with his poem.

the big graduation walk with the cap and gown So Cute!
Happy Birthday Chaetton! So Chaetton celebrated his first Birthday on May 19th. We were supposed to have this big double birthday party for chaetton and my nephew Gradey who's birthday is two weeks later we were going to rent the swimming pool and have a big BBQ, but of course the weather was crappy pretty much the whole month of May so we just had a little family party at home. Chaetton is such a good boy he likes to eat you would be able to tell if you saw his cubby thighs, he also likes to pull peoples hair and listen to them scream that makes him laugh and laugh. Chaetton is our blonde hair blue-eyed baby has a little bit of different look than Ashton and Bam but we love him just the same. Some pics of Chaetton at his birthday party notice the picture of him eating the cake look at the floor underneath if you don't already have an indoor dog get one look at how clean my floor is compared to the table and Chaetton.




a few fun facts about Chaetton: He crawled at 6 months and Walked at 9 months. He has the longest lizzard tongue. He loves Bodey even though Bodey doesn't have the same feelings. He loves to throw things down the stairs. He is my only child that has never slept in my bed or taken a pacifier. Wore a helmet 24/7 for two months because of a flat head. Just a few pics of Chaetton's first year.









Happy Birthday Chaetton! We can't imagine our life without you!

Finally Camping

So we finally got our first camping trip in of the season. If you guys have never been to the San Rafeal Swell you better get going there before the government turns it into a national park, it is so AWESOME. So for this trip we took my niece Teggan along with us which was way fun cause then I wasn't the only girl and she entertained the kids as well.. So on the way out there me and Teggan rode in the jeep and if you guys have ever seen the movie The Hills Have Eyes I am pretty sure that this is where they filmed it. So me and Teggan talked about that movie the whole time we were out there trying to scare ourselves and it worked! Brian took the older kids on a ride and left me and Teggan and the camp around dark and we are talking about the movie, and all of a sudden this car pulls into our camp site. Talk about having to change your underwear! They left without killing and eating us so that was good.
The first day we were there the kids caught lizards, ok i take that back Teggan caught the lizards while my kids screamed like girls. They rode the four wheelers and did lots of climbing looking for special rocks but instead found petrified poop which was cool the kids also enjoyed the dirt and snacks. I heard once that the dirtier the kid the funnier they had well from the looks of them they had a blast.
As you can see Chaetton also got his helmet off the day before we went and WOW do we miss it! I don't know how many times you can hit your head on the trailer awning but i could guess... it was about three times... in one day. Poor Chaetton and his unprotected head.
So after several short rides on the fourwheelers that took us to see these places


We decided to take a long jeep ride to another arch and a bunch of copper mines, I don't know how the miners found these place cause they were a long way from now where but it was so much fun we saw wild horses on the way out there so that was way cool. this was the arch that we went and saw So here are some of the mines that we saw and yes I let my kids go in and yes it was way SCARY! This is the last mine that we went into and talk about the hills have eyes it was creepy there was all these different tunnels leading off to who knows where some had been collapsed which was freaky and there was this scary door that said do not enter so of course we do. nothing was behind it.



Any one up for some hide and seek in the mines?
So after an extremely long post and a million pictures I hope that I have convinced you to go out there, but if not then you can read my next post because we are going back out there next week!

This Might Be A Long One

So I have been way behind in my blogging so I am going to try to catch up on a few things so it may be a long post.
So Chaetton has a flat spot on the back side of his head and since he is probably not going to have long hair in the back to cover it up with thought that we should probably fix it so he got one of these I know that it is not the cutest thing in the world and he has to wear it for about 3 months 23 hours a day 7 days a week, but it does have its pros! like for instance when you are holding him and you accidentally hit his head on the corners of walls and stuff it doesn't make a mark. It hasn't bothered him at all and we are just preparing him to play a little football. So far I can see a big change in his head and hope that it comes off soon but if not o well we still think that he looks really awesome in it. Ashton and Bam also like to wear their helmets every now and then they look pretty awesome as well
So this guy here turned the big 32 on April 3. I hope that he had a good birthday even though he wasn't feeling good I think that he was saying he didn't feel good because he is so old! Just Kidding! Brian is a great dad and husband he is always good coaching the boys teams and playing with them, he works hard for our family and even though we don'y say it often we appreciate everything he does! Hope you had a Happy Birthday! We think you look pretty good for being 32!
Easter! Well like everyone else we were supposed to go camping for easter but the snow ruined that idea, so we decided to head down to Mesquite with my parents and stay in their trailer with them. It was nice to be down there where it was actually sunny. On Friday the bigger boys went on a four-wheeler drive and me my mom and Chaetton rode around mesquite, we wanted to go gamble but i didn't know how that would look with my 10 month old kid sitting in his car seat by the slot machines so of course we went to WALMART! The boys went to a place called something Butte. they had a great time and saw lots of cool things.

They saw this big sinkhole called the devils throat and by the looks of the looks of the pictures probably does take you to the depths of hell. They also saw Bill Garrets grave he was the brother of Pat Garret who shot Billy the Kid or something. They had a great time. Later that night we took Ashton and Bam to the Arcade and Ashton pretty much tore it up, then Bam had a run in with dog poop, and of course we went swimming. Then we came home and colored eggs.


Ashton is very careful at coloring his eggs, Bam was done in about 5 minutes and Chaetton could have cared less about it. The kids got new swimming suits for easter so hopefully summer is on its way.
Brian and I have been keeping busy with work and kids Brian is about to start coaching the boys in baseball. Ashton and Bam have been busy with school and of course playing. Chaetton started walking in march so that has been fun, he can now go outside without scratching his knees. So there is my long post I am now caught up and will try to stay caught up so to not have one of these long posts again. Thanks for Reading!
