Ammon wants his own blog! I thought he was a little young to have his own but I thought I could share my blog with him! We decided that every Tuesday he could have free reign of the blog. These are his thoughts and his pictures!

So….. introducing…..

Ammon’s Fabulous Blog!!

I am excited to do my blog. I have been thinking of things I wanted to write about. I have been to the beach lots of times. Today I went to the beach. I love the beach! I was buried in the sand. It took a while for me to get out but it was still fun.

I also went to this museum where I got to dress up as different people. One was a fireman. It was hot and sweaty inside that uniform! It was heavy too!

I got to hold a starfish. I thought the starfish would be squishy but it was rough!

I have had lots of fun in the couple of weeks I have been in California!

That is all for now! I will be back next Tuesday with more!

The day after Jeff and Kylie got married we blessed Michael with all the family around! It was great to have so many family members to share this special day with!

My Family

I am so thankful to all my family that were there for the blessing and we missed those who missed it! I am grateful for my amazing husband who was worthy to bless Micheal.

A little late, but I still have to share! Ariana turned 5 the beginning of July! She has been looking forward to this big day for a while! She had everything she wanted planned out! For her birthday dinner she wanted asparagus, fruit salad, watermelon, and crepes! I decided she needed meat so we made chicken shish-kabobs. We did have asparagus, her favorite food, fruit salad, and pasta salad. She loved her birthday feast!!

She got a super cute dress from her sweet friend that came with a matching dress for her doll! She loves to be matchy matchy!

She got lots of sweets!

Lots of love!

And some super cute cards!

The neighborhood kids brought her lots of gifts! One sweet girl gave her a stuffed poodle and butterfly a bracelet and a dollar! A boy gave her a pack of gum and FIVE dollars! And her “boyfriend” gave her five bracelets and some candy and a dollar! She was pretty excited!

I made her a yummy rice crispy cake using fruity pebbles! It had gummy bears on top that she LOVED!!

When we got to CA she got more presents and more love and more cake!

Here is Ariana with her Great Grandma!

Ariana had a wonderful birthday! She is such a sweet girl. I can’t imagine a day without her sweet voice telling me something nice that gets me through my day!!

We have been busy busy here in CA! A wedding, family reunion, Fiesta, swimming and playing at the beach and many parks is just some of the things we have been doing! I missed posting about a 5th birthday, Michael is growing up way too fast and I have tons and tons of pictures to share!

So here is the first!

This was taken at the Los Angeles Temple while we were waiting for my brother, Jeff, and his cute new wife, Kylie, to come out!! Tori was not in a picture taking mood! Figures, right?! And why can I never get them all to look at the camera at the same time! Oh well. I love all the outfits and all these kids!!!! Still hard to believe they are all mine!!

Scary right?! She is only almost five! There is a very sweet boy in the neighborhood who adores Ari! He is a great big brother to his sisters, a very good kid. And well, Ari likes him too! He carries her around and she wants to be where ever he is! Thursday I heard her tell Britain that this boy was her “one true love!” What?!?!

Yesterday she was wearing a new bracelet and I asked her where she got it. Her reply? “A boy!” I knew there was only one boy who would give her a bracelet with her name on it!

It is very innocent and cute for now! But I am a little worried:)!!

The kids all visited the dentist last month! (Geez, I can’t believe we are in July!!) The dentist discovered Ammon has two EXTRA teeth!! Yes extra teeth. He still had three of his baby teeth that are next to his two front bottom teeth. The dentist said he should have lost those a while ago but hasn’t because there are three teeth trying to come up where only two are supposed to go!! So the dentist said the best thing to do was to pull three baby teeth out so that the extra two teeth can come up! Then he will pull those two extra teeth and make room for the four permanent teeth that should be there! Crazy right?!?!?!

Here is the before picture!

Two dentist appointments later and a little pain this boy is missing a few teeth! The dentist was amazed at how well Ammon did! He is awesome!

Michael was all dressed up and went to church Sunday! He looked super cute in his little tie!

I love his mad face!! Watch out!

Ariana went to the Dr today and is now officially ready for kindergarten! I made the appointment and then put off telling her about it so she wouldn’t get upset. As usual my worries were for nothing! She was excited to go to the Dr even when she heard she was getting shots! She went happy and ready! It was adorable to watch her run around the Dr giggling as he talked to her! He said that she was probably the happiest girl he had ever seen!

My little squirt weighs a whopping 35 pounds and is 40 inches tall. She will always be a tiny one! The nurse came in with all the stuff for the shots and Ariana actually cheered! I didn’t think she would be cheering for long but she was amazing! She flinched when they poked her with the needle but was quickly distracted by the cool band-aid! She said ouch for the next ones but that was it! I was shocked!

Michael also went to the Dr today! I can’t believe he is two weeks old today! He is now 9 pounds 11 ounces! He is one good eater! He has grown a 1/4 inch too! He is such a good baby. Isn’t his shirt the COOLEST! I love it! Thanks again, my friend!!!

On a different note. Today is 628 day! Adam’s favorite day of the year!!! This one comes with no presents or songs, but it is his day. Happy Happy 628 Day Adam! I sure love you!

I don’t know where these little glasses came from but oh my how I like them!!!

Ammon took these pictures for me!

The poses were his idea too!

Too cute!

Tori adores her Baby Michael. I always worry about how bringing home a new baby will affect the current baby. Tori is very head strong and I was more than a little worried about her but she has put all my fears to ease! She is a sweet, sometimes gentle, loving big sister. She loves to wash Michael’s hair and brush his hair. She is forever getting diapers and wipes for me and takes the stinky diapers to the trash. She looks at his toes, feet, belly button, hands and tells me how tinie tiny they are! She is always watching over him and telling me what he does!

She spent about 10 minutes watching him through the mesh one day!

She is a sweet big sister!
