Daddy daughter date.

We are trying something new here.

Each month we are doing a date with the kids.

We pair them up like girls with girls, boys with boys, oldest with oldest and youngest with the youngest.

I think you get it, anyways we had our first date and man they were so excited.

We set the date and what we were going to do.

Boys were going swimming, the girls were going to have a tea party with dad.

Do to the fact that Dad had the camera you will have to take my word that it went GREAT.

We swam at the pool for 2 hours grabbed some food on the way home and watched one of our movies.

When I came home the girls could not stop talking about their date with dad.

They told me what they talked about like BOYS and who they should kiss and not.

Nice Rob NICE!!!

They talked about there nails but the thing they talked about the most was the

CROWN!!!!

I saw this at the mall and thought they would love to have them.

It's the little things right Miss McKenna would not take it off she sleep in it.

Went to church with it and if she could of gone to school with it she would of.

I had to draw the line some where right.

My dear Grammy.

My very special Grammy pasted away she was 93 so it was time.

I still do miss her and so do my kids. we have decide to remember her in many was.

But let me back up a little when Grammy turned 90 we had the great opportunity make a book for Grammy.

We called all her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and even great great grandchildren, there wife, and husband to send us a letter to her.

Things that stood out to them.

It was so neat to read all the letters that were written on how Grammy catered to everyone needs. She know everyone like and dislikes, She always found away to make that person feel so special.

After reading all of them. There was one thing in common they all said something about her

Chocolate chips cookies.

Anyone that came and visited she gave them one.

The Bishop spoke and he felt so special that he and his family got to share in that tradition.

One more thing that everyone mention was her red hair.

As much as I wanted to color my hair red (not really)

I just decide to paint mine and my girls nails red.

We also made Cookies set up a cookie stand and gave them out.

I love that feeling.

People asked why I told them of my Grammy and I also gave them a

"Book of Mormon" to honor the next thing that was in the letters.

Their two mission and serves of over 35 years in the temple.

Grammy I miss you and will always remember the sweet memories that you gave us.

I know you are with your true love Grandpa

I know your in a better place I love you oodles ad noodles

XOXOXO

P.S. If there is cookies in heaven make sure Conner helps out.

Oh pictures are coming.

Work out!!

Well it happen again someone asked me when my baby was due,

GRRRRR!!!!!!!

I have gain some weight but it has been because of my knee.

When you can't get off the bed and you have to take pain killer you have to eat.

I tried just lowing my calories while taking my pain killers not a good thing.

I'm back into working out and lost 3 ponds so 1/12 ponds a day.

I've only been doing it for 2 day.

I feel great I also wanted my kids to join in on the fun.

Not to lose weight but just to get out and exercise

Yesterday I decided to run but in sets. I mapped out a mile and ran with each kid.

the others ones timed me and watched my little one Mason.

McKenna was first she was great 10:34 great time for a 6 year old.

Emma was up next I told her if she need to ride her bike she could.

She rode half way her time was 10: 13 this was great to.

I ran up hill for the first half.

Tanner was the next I wanted Tanner to set a goal for the running he said under 10 mins

He did it 9:55 he felt so good.

I was last I could here my kids cheering for me when ever they saw me, it mad me smile.

I did mine in 9:45 not to bad for the first time.

Our Mason got in on the fun.

He sat on me while I was doing dips, set ups and push ups 100 of each

My kids are great and love the fact that they want to do what MOM likes to do.

I love them so much.

I need to remember that in everything.

I would like to know some of your tricks to work out when you have kids.

Oh and you can't say get a babysitter. : )

Getting back into things.

If you don't know I tore my meniscus while sitting on a park bench.

Nothing cool just sitting on a park bench.

They do think that running and running unto my couch might have something to do with it,

but

the tear did happen at the park while I was sitting on the park bench.

Anyways My leg was locked up for about 3 days. I was on creches for about a week after that.

If I could turn back time I would of and not sat down.

I had surgery on it i June the doctors were hoping I could walk on it in a week,

sadly I can't

A month latter

I can finally ride my bike. I went on a 2 mile run today felt alright.

But I have a feeling I might feel it tonight.

My summer plans of hiking and biking are on hold for right now.

I would like to thank all the people that helped me and y family.

I really thought it would be a quick and easy surgery. Man was a wrong.

Anyways thank you for all your help, prays and talking care of my kids.

Oh and a big thanks to Who every weed my garden, that was a nice surprise.

Movie day for the girls.

I wanted to do something special for the all the kids.

Tanner and Mckenna are doing Book clubs, but Emma needs something different.

So we are doing day time movies.

OK so not all girls got to come as you can see One very cute dog came to.

McKenna Kindergarten.

I wills start off by saying

"better late then never."

McKenna graduated from Kindergarten this year

We we so lucky that she got Mrs. Bryson the same teacher that Tanner got.

I was also the room mom for her and on occasion I was her teacher.

It was great she had the best time. Can't wait to see how she get this year.

Wow that's in about a month.

Can you guess what song this song is?

This year Mrs Bryson wanted Rob to design the diplomas for the kids.

McKenna thought that was great and so proud of her dad.

This as you can see is not the last draft.

He changed the colors to the school colors and he also put the star thing on it.
