Aunt Dory-Easter-and- Family Fun

This last week we got the wonderful treat of having Aunt Lins come and visit us for a week. She was able to meet her new little niece Peytters (as Kia calls her), see Kia's concert, have a Three Musketeers Sister night, be here for Peyton's blessing and Easter. It was such a nice great week!!! I think that Josy was so excited to have her here. It was so cute Lindsay warned everyone before she got here that she was going to hold the baby the whole time she was here. She stuck to that, I think that she came over every night that she was here, and just sat and loved her. Lindsay and Jack have a new road in their life. Jack got an internship in Mississippi and they are moving there next week. It is weird.. Knowing that I don't get to see her everyday, but it is a little hard to think that she is going to be even further away now.


The girls have been good.

Kia was sick the last couple of days. But other than that has been doing great. She had her kindergarten concert last Friday and was so excited that lots of family was able to be there. She was SUPER excited that Aunt Lindsay flew all the way from Utah just to see her sing... haha.


Josalyn is loving school. She is in Girl Scouts and is just loving it, sad that it is coming to an end. But we had a mommy and me Tea Party two weeks ago and it was so nice to be able to spend that one on one time with her.



Reyna is doing great. She was involved in the Allstars Soccer team, and really enjoyed the experience. We are trying to get a feel i f she is committed to this, and we will get her into club soccer. She will also be doing swim team this summer.





So there was a daddy daughter camp out for our ward this last Friday. With Ben taking all the girls camping. minus Peyton, it gave Lindsay, Brittany and I to have a girls night. We went to Brittany's soccer game, out to dinner and than came home and watched Twilight, Britt hadn't seen it yet.




But it also left the girls with a camping memory that they will never forget.

Ben took the girls, the weather said chance of rain, but he thought that wasn't right there was no clouds in the sky. Well they set up camp, and hung out around the fire. All went to bed. Than in the middle of the night... it started to rain.. and as it did the tent started to cave in. Ben spent about two hours holding it up, when all the sudden the wind picked up and the tent blew over. Which than put a huge hole in the tents roof. He ran over to the car, trying to carry two of the girls. He rode with a friend) and the car was locked. He ran over to Ty's tent asking for the keys.. and Ty allowed him and the girls to climb in the tent with them. The girls said it was freezing cold and horrible. Poor things!! But like Ben said. the positive is they won't ever forget that camping trip with Daddy =)

Peyton Update

So I haven't been as good as I would like on the updates on our newest addition. She will be SIX weeks this Friday. That is just so crazy to me that my lil munchkin is already going to be that old. This most likely being our last... I have been wanting to hold onto ever little moment, store it in a box and keep it safely foever. But I am realizing I can't. I have spent many days, just holding her, kissing her, breathing her beautiful smell. Not wanting to miss a single breath. And it is like I woke up this morning... with the Wooooo where has all my time gone with her. I actually have many days when it is just me and her, the other girls are off to school.... and we just snuggle. I don't do dishes, laundry... I just sit in my chair... holding her, falling asleep.. and being in my lil heaven. I have felt very selfish having those moment.. as when the girls get home, I get the 'that have you done all day".. and I simple say "spent time with the baby". I woke up this morning thinking.. I don't have to be sorry for those moments, I am a mommy. I realize that my three older ones are growing way too fast. I can't really take them in my arms, sleep, cuddle and breath them in all day. Those days have past. With Peyton... I am going to take advantage of every oppurtunity that I can just take in all the moment, be with her every second that I can. And wipe away my tears when I can't do it anymore.
There is the most amazing song by Darius Rucker "It won't be like this for long" it is posted here on my page. It honestly makes me cry, the ugly cry, everytime that I hear it... but how true and beautiful every word is.
