Mikyn's 5 Years old

Mikyn turned 5 on 5-20-05. I can't believe my baby girl is 5 years old. She was so excited for her birthday to get here. The day before we made some cupcake cookies. They had so much fun eating and playing with cookie dough. We tried to make them look like cupcakes not just the shape. She got so many gifts.
The only thing she wanted was a Pony cake. She was so excited to have pinkie pie on top of the cake.

She stuck her fingers in it the second it got there. Grandma and Grandpa got her, the birthday cake.

We had our family over and just sat around and had a good time. Mikyn loved playing with Carsen and Dee.

She had so much fun blowing out her candles. She blew each of them out individually. When Kit and I told her she was going to get 5 spankings and a pinch to grow and inch she was so scared. But we pinned her down and she did just fine.

And this is Carsen has to show off in anyway possible. Our lives would be so boring without him.

Happy Birthday Mikyn We love you!

Mikyns 4K School Graduation

We are so proud of our little Mikyn, She is now done with preschool and moving on to Kindergarten. Her teacher Mrs. Barbra brought her a special present for always being so good in class. They were so proud of her. Dad was able to take the morning off of work so he could be there. He was so proud of her.
This is her and her teacher. When they graduated they got a certificate of completion, a bible with there name on it and a pillow case all the kids in her class put a hand print on it with there name on it. It was so cute, it amazed me because she could tell me every name on the pillow case. When she graduated she knows so much and is already reading small books. We are so proud of you Mikyn.

The Monday before she Graduated they had a birthday party for her. He took pink cupcakes with pink frosting and pink sprinkles in for her class. They had a pizza party and sang happy birthday. She was always so excited for the days she had school.

This was the boys before the graduation. We gave them some cute Mohawks. We love and are so proud of all our kids.

Carsen and the Trucks

We taught Carsen if he moves his arm up and down the big trucks will honk at him. He had so much fun I had to get a movie of him. Good times.

Mothers Day Weekend.

Our mothers day consists of a lot of time and hard work here at the Thames house. It all starts on Friday, we are lucky to have the Mothers day Race the Darlington 500 (Nascar) so close to home. We Wake up early on Friday and head over to Grandma and Grandpa Maddies house. We get all sun blocked up and ready for the day. This is the babies before the Friday race. Their first race, and many more to come. We park cars for both Friday and Saturday races. Kits parents live right next to the track so it is good parking. We have a lot of the same people that come every year. Kit and Carsen setting up chairs so we can be ready to wave our flags.
The boys did good for the most part they had a few naps and other than that they loved watching everything going on.
Here is Grandpa the master mind of it all. He has the parking down to a science.

This is us just getting started.

We only had the kids for the Friday race. On Saturday we has some babysitters so we didn't have to worry about them so much.

Then the time comes where we are done parking cars and we are ready to hit the bed. I never knew that waving a flag can get you so tired. But I guess being in the sun for 10 hours for 2 days in a row would do it to you. For mothers day we went to sacrament at church, Carsen and Kit sang to us. It made me so happy. Then we were off to grandma and grandpas house to pick up all the race trash. It was so funny the kids had such a good time they told everyone, " Mom and Dad are riding on the golf cart, and we are picking up trash." Kit said having kids is finally paying off. It was funny. But all in all I had such a good mother day weekend hanging out with my cute family. I couldn't ask for anything more.

The babies New outfits

So I got them a few new outfits and they finaly came in. They were just so cute I had to post them. Burgen is in the stripes and rowen is in the short sleaves. They are such happy little boys. We are so lucky to have them in our family. I can't believe they are almost 6 months old. It seems like they just got here. Everymorning we wake up to such happy little faces. They think that they have to get up at 6:30 to say bye to dad. I try to let them know that they don't have to, but they love there daddy.

Our Trip To UTAH!!!

Well we took this picture before we left I thought it was so cute...

Team Edward, or Team Jacob? This is our big adventure...Gerryn, Me, a 4 year old 2 three year old's and 2 4 month old's.

And It worked out so good.

The kids were so good the whole time. I would do it agin anytime. Rowen and Burgen they fall asleep when they are in motion anywhere. Car, swing, or plane. The older kids were so ready to get on the plane. It helped that they each had there own tv in front of our seats.
They all just woke up from there nap.

When we got to Grandmas and Grandpa Airplanes we had so much fun we did dress up.

Carsen loved being Captain America.

Carsen and Zak were buddies. They did everything together.

We all stayed together in a hotel for Easter weekend, It was the first time in a long time that My family and I have been together for a holiday. The kids must have been very good because the Easter Bunny was very good to them. Rowen and Burgens Baskets.

Man and our family is growing so much we now have 16 people in our family that use to be a family of 5.

This is Great Grandma Hi-c she is my mom's mom. We just love her so much.

Hanging out in my parents back yard. Rowen fell to sleep in one of the tunnels.

We went to the coolest ice cream place. You get to put what ever Ice cream you want into cups and toppings and then pay by the weight.

We took the kids to see the SLC Temple Mikyn just loved it. Carsen kept telling us that it was Jesus' house.

Out side at grandma Hi-c's house we played on a huge mud pile.

We were able to have a Birthday party for Mikyn and Kayja why we were out there. We saw the Dragon movie and had pizza, cake and lots of presents.

Gerryn and Kit well....This explains it all.

Kit and I were able to stay at Anniversary in the Mysteries of Egypt room why we were out there. It was so nice to get some sleep. I felt so rejuvenated. First time without the twins.

This is my Grandma Bea My dads mom, we looked just the same in all our pictures. I was the first Grand daughter on her side, and my boys are the first twinAll the kids getting ready for bed, we go home the next morning. Rowen and Carsen on the plain.

Daddy and Mikyn and Burg.

Now we are home and miss everyone. But we know we will see them soon. We love you all.
