Red Butte Gardens

My brothers Mike and Scott and Jason and I decided to take the kids to Red Butte Gardens on Saturday. It was a BEAUTIFUL day, however, a bit windy.

Above we have Walker, Tori, Karli, Taylor, and Grady.

summer time water shoots out where the kids are sitting.

It's a nice "cool down" from the heat!

Here's Daddy Jason.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day

Afternoon Delight..?

Here is Taylor being an "afternoon delight" because she cannot have a second fruit snack.

Birthday Party Fun

Grady was invited to his good friend Joseph's birthday party this weekend. They had a blow up bounce-a-ma-jigger, hotwheels track, coloring table, fishing pond, pin the wheel on the car, and much more. Grady, Taylor, and I went and had a lot of fun. Here are some pics...

Daddy and Taylor

Tay Tay loves her daddy. She is so cute. If she can't see Jason she'll call for him... "Daddy? Daddy?"

SLEEP!

I love snuggling with my babies!

Thankful

I love saying prayers with my son Grady. He always seems to be thankful for things I, and probably a lot of people, take for granted. This morning after being thankful for the people in our family Grady begins to say he's thankful for the sun, the rain, the dirt...and on and on. It is music to my ears to listen to my son's prayers. I love you Grady.

Mommy, Daddy, look what I got?

Well it was 7:30am on this snowy Valentine morning. Taylor, Jason, and I were all snuggled in our beds sound asleep. Next thing I know I hear Grady coming up the stairs in his snow boots. He has a note and it says, "Grady, Happy Valentine's Day. We would love you to play with Joe Joe (neighbor boy) as soon as he wakes up in an hour or so." Yes. Grady actually got himself dressed, put on his snow boots, and headed for his friend's house at 7:30am.

I called Kristi, Joe's mom, around 9:30am to apologize. :) Happy Valentine's Day everyone. Ours has been quite interesting so far. :)

2009 not so fine

I'm not so sure I like 2009. We have had A LOT of crap happen in 2009 and it's only February. Here are just a few things going on:

1-- Danny, Jason's step-father, had to have a quadrupal bypass
2--Jason lost his job
3--Our good friend's father had a stroke and is in a coma
4--Taylor's post surgery recovery
5--My dearest friend is going through a divorce
6--Our Grandpa Workman thought he was having a stroke and had to go in for testing, including a spinal tap... He is okay, however it was a HUGE scare!
7--A friend of mine miscarried
8--My 2 year old nephew had to have surgery on his throat
9--The Cardinals lost the superbowl. :(

Close Ups!!

I gotta say nothing is better than close ups. VOGUE!
