Where does the TIME go????

Dallin is now SIX years old!!! Looking back just the last year of his life and I must say he has change a ton! We held him back from starting kindergarten til this year and he so needed it. He struggled with some sounds. He also needed a sometime to chill! He has so much energy :) Dallin is the most rough kid but so sweet. He is so protective of his sisters. He is very smart and catches on to things quickly. Very easy going and extremely helpful. A very hard worker (loves to wash and load the dishes)! I love his little raspy voice and his contagious smile. I love him so much and I am so blessed to be mother!!!!
I have an ELEVEN year old!!! I feel old when I think about it like that. I guess being married for almost 13 years that can happen :) Although very scary to think about her being a teenager-we are on the verge of those years. Malulani is so smart and very beautiful. If she would have a different personality I would worry but she is reserved. She is tenderhearted and sensitive. Very responsible and is an over achiever. She is a pleaser which is good and bad. Once you get to know her she can't stop talking and giggling. She is so full of life! It makes me sad to see her grow up! She is an amazing daughter and I am so very fortunate!!!

Happy Birthday to My little big guy

I can't believe Dallin is 6 years old. For part of his birthday he was able to take a buddy to Lagoon.

Here he is getting a hair cut at Snip-Its which he loved because he was able to play a video game the whole time!

He is not hard to please when it comes to presents the only two things he asked for was a Indiana Jones whip and an ipod. Well because I could not find an Indiana Jones whip we went with the ipod (just the shuffle) along with a ton of other fun stuff. I don't know about you but I feels like the "spendy stuff" starts sooner and sooner.

Man I Love this little guy so much!!! Some encounters we have had with this guy since he has been in our life.....

Where's the fire?

We had a field trip at the fire station today!!! The kids got a tour of the new fire station and learned a lot about fire safety. Dallin was able to wear one of their hats. Inside of his hat there was a picture of the fire fighter's family which was neat to see.

Hyrum, Tayler, Dallin, Brandon, and Megan.

Dallin was so funny-one of the fire fighters asked, "What do you do if you are on fire?". He almost got it right-he said, "Drop and roll". The kids thought that the whole Darth Vader breathing was cool. Poor guy had stay in the hot suit until we all get our pictures taken.

They even got to ring the bell in the truck!
Here is part of the preschool group sporting the fire fighters hats.

I must say that we are so fortunate. At a drop of a second we have medical help, law-in-forcement, fire fighters, and more ready to help. They do more than we realize. I probably don't say thank you enough to my father-in-law, mother-in-law, cousin, my uncle, and everyone else that are in this line of work. Hopefully we don't need any help from anyone in that line of work but I know IF we do, we will be taken care of.

Spring is in the AIR

Today was a beautiful day and we have the itch of spring. It is definitely in the air at our house. Okay me and the kids, Dave is content on still being winter so he can snowmobile more.
SO -off we went for a bike ride to the park. Dallin wanted a friend to come and play, so we invited Brandon and Debbie decided to join us with all the kids!
We did a ton of underdogs! But we haven't mastered the pumping of the legs just yet so it got to be hard work after a while.
I love this sweet picture. Dallin loves his little sister and he wanted to take her down the slide every time.

Maile just laughed and laughed. On our swing set we don't have a baby swing so she really hasn't been out on it-we need to get one! You can actually see her two teeth (14 mths old and only 2 teeth)!

They could have stayed there all day!

Dave decided to let Maile go down by herself!

Feildtrip Day! YEAH!

Thursday, Dallin preschool had a field trip to Winegars Grocery

Store. It was way fun and pretty long. There was quite a big

group of us. Besides these cute kids there was the Miller's,

Readings, and the Jones family. Dallin was hilarious-he would

raise his hand for every question even if he didn't know the answer.

They got to go in all the different sections of the grocery store.

This is the bakery where they actually got to see the cake get frosted.

This is back in the meat dept. where they package all the meat.

The kids were fascinated with how this machine worked.

They all got a little drumstick sticker when they were

all done in this dept. Labeling my child as a "chicken"

how dare they! J/K LOL . We went back in the freezer and fridge

areas, the deli and got a sample of the deli meat.

After touring around the store we got to go upstairs

to the break room where they each got cookie and

punch. It was fun for them and we made some fun memories!

Rainbows - When its snowing outside?

I taught preschool today! So much fun, so much to do, so

little time. It seems like I always have too much stuff and not

enough time to do it all. It was a rush to just finish some of

the things we started. Thanks to my amazing husband

we got everything finished!

(Lauren Lysager and Dallin)

We made rainbows out of fruit loops, sand art, m&m's, finger

paint we even made a rainbow fish! We brought some color

inside because outside the white stuff is everywhere!!!!!
