I just thought this was so sweet.....

Austin fell asleep on the living room floor today.....he was soooooo tired! I went to go get him a blanket and when I came back he was already covered and had this little doll tucked in with him!
So, I guess Mikelle beat me to it.....isn't that a sweet sister?

My lovely garden produce!!!

Isn't it pretty? I've really enjoyed the fruits of my labors!!! Hopefully I'll learn how to do more things for next year! Right now we just have tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, peppers, grapes, and a few strawberries!

What kids really think!

I've seen this on a couple of my friends blogs, so I decided to do it with Mikelle! It should be good to find out what she really thinks!!! :)

1. What is something mom always says to me? I don't know!
2. What makes mom happy? Say sorry.....I mean say, "Mom, can I please have some juice?" And when you say "No, cause you already had some!" and I say "OK, mom!" And when Austin says something and makes us laugh! (That was quite the answer.....I didn't know if she was gonna stop, but at least there's a few things that make me happy!)
3. What makes mom sad? I don't know.....I mean, it makes mommy sad when we don't clean up our toys and when we don't be nice to Austin!
4. How does mom make you laugh? Say Booga Booga! (I don't know if I've ever said that, but it would make her laugh if I did!)
5. What was mom like as a child? A baby?
6. How old is Mommy? 3....(Wow, in her mind I'm younger than her......no wonder she doesn't want to listen to me)
7. How tall is mommy? This many tall.....1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10...11...12...14...19...18(as she measured from my feet to my head with her hands).
8. What is mommy's favorite thing to do? Do laundry (I guess if you go off of what I do the most as my favorite then this is probably true)
9. What does mom do when I'm not around? Try and find me!
10. If mom becomes famous, what will it be for? A baby! (Take note....I will someday be famous for having babies!)
11. What is mom really good at? Playing games! Are you good at playing games? (she had to double check on that one)
12. What is mom not really good at? Fixing blinds, only Daddy is....cause he fixes the blinds that Tyler breaks! (We do leave that job for Dad)
13. What does mom do for her job? Do laundry (My favorite thing to do is also my job)
14. What is mom's favorite food? Broccoli (I really have no idea where that came from, but I do like broccoli)
15. What makes me proud of my mom? Throwing balls and catching it! (This is funny because we were just playing catch the other day, and the kids were telling me good catch and good throw, but only me, not anybody else, like I was the only one that needed encouragement and improvement or something....I don't know....but I guess I was making them proud, who knew!?!?)
16. If mommy were a cartoon character, who would she be? A princess! (Yea!!!)
17. What do mommy and I do together? Play and cleanup toys!
18. How are mommy and I the same? We are not the same.
19. How are mommy and I different? You have different clothes, and I have different clothes!
20. How do I know mommy loves me? cause I love you!

Mikelle's 5th birthday!!!

Sorry, these pictures aren't really in order..... but this is Uncle Braden, who was the one that decapitated the Dora pinata.....she was pretty tough!
The big boys had fun throwing Dora up in the air and swinging at her to try and get the rest of the candy out of the body! This is Daniel taking a swing....
Aunt Shanan thought her baby needed a turn....
Blowing out the candles!!! Happy Birthday to Mikelle!!!
Mikelle's birthday isn't actually until Tuesday, but we celebrated it on Sunday while we were in St. George with all the fam!
Opening presents with cousins Zeneth & Cere, and brother Tyler!
Breaking the Dora Pinata!!! Even Austin thought this was a great activity!
Eating treats from the Dora Pinata!!!
Austin had fun riding around in the backyard while everyone took turns hitting the pinata!
Everyone had fun riding the wiggle cars in the back yard(it was more like bumper cars when all the big boys did it!). We also played a game of PIG, which is a basketball shooting game! Everyone was surprised when Mica won, 6 months pregnant and all! Yea!!! Then we played card games and watched a movie! Good times!!!

Dixie Roundup!!!

Grandma & Grandpa Steiner took us all to the rodeo on Saturday!!!
Aren't these the cutest little cowboys and cowgirls you've ever seen? Maybe I'm biased!!!
We had lots of fun!!! Tyler & Mikelle's favorite event was the mutton busting! They both think they want to ride the sheep next year! Ha, ha.....we'll see!

Go Cowboys!!!

Kanab has an ongoing tradition of having the kindergarten classes all riding on a big semi-truck flatbed trailer in the High School Homecoming Parade....even Daniel remembers riding in the parade as a kindergartner and then again as a football player in high school!!! Cool, huh? That's one thing I like about small towns!
Tyler was in the Homecoming Parade with all the kindergartners......class of 2021!!!
They got to dress up like football players, and cheerleaders, and cowboys! Go Kanab Cowboys!

Wild Turkey...



The kids love to chase this turkey all around the vacant yard next door, where it likes to hang out. Austin gets so excited to see it too! We do enjoy seeing the wildlife around our house, for the most part! We see deer, and turkeys, and squirrels, etc....but we've had a mountain lion in the neighborhood, and I pray that I never have to experience that one!!!

Mikelle's new haircut

Doesn't Mikelle look so grown up with her new haircut? She is almost 5 yrs. old...I can't believe it!!!

First Day of School

Tyler was excited and nervous for his first day of kindergarten.........but now he's just excited! He wishes he could go to school every day! He also told me that he wishes school was longer so they could have 2 snack times!

"I'm 6 years old......and old enough to go to school!!!"

Austin - 16 months

I wish I could say Austin always looked like this......but he is getting quite the attitude now! I wonder where he learned it!?!? He must have older siblings!!!! He is so much fun though!!!


He was being so cute, I just had to grab the camera!!!
