This kid CRACKS me up!


No more diapers, YEAH! He's been potty trained for over a month now and he is doing awesome. If he needs to go potty, there is no stopping him. He whips it out right then and there! This picture is at the school carnival. I turned around and found him like this! On Sunday I was told by my friends mom he peed in the bushes at church-did not even see him! Who's kid is this? I guess its time to teach him we only go pee in the potty!

Brinks





Dear Brinklee-

I can't believe you are already 5 months. You are the BEST baby. We seriously needed you in our family. Our family would not be complete without our Miss Brinklee. You bring a smile to our faces everyday. We love your rolly legs, your BROWN eyes (yes, I think they are going to be brown and that makes your mother very happy!), your contagious giggle, your coos, and even your cries. I am sorry if you feel smoothered by us. We just can't get enough kisses and loves. We love you so much. Thanks for being our baby :)
Love, Mom (&Daddy, Easton, Maycee and Cannon)

Easter Sunday


The one and only picture taken on Easter as were running late to church. I made everyone turn aaround and smile. Blinded by the sun-wahlah! This is what we got. Hopefully next year with 4 kids I will remember to take a picture of everyone before church not at church!

Egg Hunt

Cannon in heaven with all the candy and donuts, talk about a sugar high!

Cannons' little buddies-Carter and Koen





Maycee's preschool teacher-Mrs. Jodi who is the BEST teacher ever (oh how we love her) threw an egg hunt for the kids. All the kids were out of school that day, So LOTS of kids +LOTS of candy=LOTS of fun!

Down on the farm-Budge Style :)



When we were in Utah we took family pictures with all the Budges. It had been awhile since the last one. We figured we should get the new babies and the four newly adopted kiddos. The rickety barn that looks like it will fall over if you simply blew on it, is the barn that Nate's grandpa built. My kids love to play at the "Farm". This visit Easton and all the cousins discovered Nate's old fort he built when he was little. I wished I had my camera-they all had their hammers and nails and went to town trying to revamp it! I am thankful for the Budge family , farm and all!!xoxo

30 really?




I had such a great birthday even though I am still in denial I am actually 30! We were(the kids and I) in Las Vegas over my birthday on our way up to Utah. My cute sister made me a 30 pancake and a "K" cake. We went to get pedicures and did some shopping. It's always a treat to be with my sister. She is someone I have always looked up to so much and I feel so lucky to call her my big sis! My sweet friend from high school Melissa came over for a little visit with her cute kids! SO fun to catch up and meet her new little guy. Nate sent me a big bouquet of ballons and cookies! The cookies didn't last long, they were so yummy! The kids had so much fun playing with cousins. I love that Vegas is our half way mark between here and Provo. It makes the 12 hr. trip more doable. My cute mom bought me a bubble machine. The kids love it and I love not having to blow bubbles! Nate arrived later in the week and we headed to O-town and again celebrated with the Budges. What a great week. Man, am I really 30?
