BIRTHDAY BOY!

Don't mind my husband's pleasant face...here is Max at the beginning of his party opening presents!!

Yay!  Shoes!!

Present from Mommy and Daddy and big sisters Abby and Lyla

Why is everyone singing to me??

 YUM!!  CAKE!

Oh yes people, unlike his sisters he finished the whole cake...

 Bath time!!!

We had such a fun time today!  I can't believe Max is already one!!!  CRAZY!  He has grown up way too fast and I am not too sure that I like it!  My parents are in town and after the party we went out to Roy and got some nomnummy burgers and ate at a park...80 degrees and be-a-u-tiful outside!  We had a great time! 

Changes...

So as you can see I have updated alot of pictures on my blog!!  We got our family photos back so I thought I would put the most recent photos up!!  I love them!!! 

As of late...

Yes...I know that I have been a bad blogger lately!  I am SORRY!  Spencer got a text from one of his buddies saying that since we haven't updated in over a month they have no idea what's going on with our family...so I have felt bad and have been meaning to update for a while!  I was all pictured out after our month long vacation in July so I don't have very many pics since then...but here are a few for your viewing pleasure! 

My three BYU fans!

 My sweet Abigale started preschool again!  She is so dang beautiful!!!    She is growing up too fast and is way too smart for her own good!  ;)

 Max!  I can't believe how fast this past year has flown by...his 1st birthday is next Saturday and  I want to know who hit the fast forward button on my baby's life!

I don't have a pic of Lyla all by herself but she has come leaps and bounds since July.  She is fully potty trained and is in panties both day and night!  She is still too young to have started preschool but we are doing book babies once a week at our library and she is enjoying that! 

We just had our family pictures taken today by Spencer's cousin Andrea!  She is so great to always help us out for photos!!  I can't wait to get them back!!  Finally a family photo with all three kids in it!  Well, life for us is going great!!  Things sure are looking up and we are very grateful to our Heavenly Father for all he provides for us!  I hope all is well for everyone and I will try to keep you updated more often!  Max's 1st Birthday party is gonna have tons of pictures...I am sure!!

JULY...

Wow...well July has been a crazy/great month for us!  We spent the first three weeks of it vacationing in Cali and then Arizona!  What a blast...here are some pics to recap a little of the fun we had!!

My sweet Lyla Belle...I love doing her hair like this!

My Abigale!!  So cute!

Max on Mom's Birthday...so happy!

Max and his girlfriend Payton!!  Such cuties!

Abby and Lyla got to pet several things at the San Diego County Fair!  This is them petting a lamb.  But they got to feed cows, and pet pigs..they had a blast!

Max mainly did this...haha!

We got the girls faces painted at the fair too...Abby got a unicorn

Lyla got a strawberry!  I guess this is what you get when you let a 2 yr old pick!

We went to Belmont Park...they no longer have Tuesday Family night, but we had the girls ride the carousel anyway!

Sweet Lyla and Daddy!

And Max again...in his stroller!

Here are the girls at Knott's Berry Farm on the Train!  It was SOOOOO HOT!!!

I got to see my old college roomie Nattie and her hubby John!  It was so fun to see them and so nice of them to join us at Knott's for the afternoon!!  Nattie held Max so I could go on the "big kid rides."  THANKS NAT!

Here are all my kiddos and all of my brother AJ's kiddos!  SO CUTE!

ZOE, ABBY, MAX, MAYLI, LYLA, & TORI

Had to get a pic with Grammie and Papa before we left!  They were so nice to let us stay with them in their little love shack!  I am sure they were ready for us to leave!!!

We stopped in Vegas on the way home and saw my sister Natalie and her family!  They just moved there the week before!!  Here are our adorable kids!!

CARSON, MACY, LYLA, ABBY, MAX, & EMILY

When we got home from our long drive we went out front and just sat...it is still nice enough to do that here in UT!  Which is so nice!  Max loved sitting in the grass!!

Other news for our family that we found out in July is that Spencer got a JOB!!!  YAY!  And not only that but it is at his old High school!  So it is about two miles away from our house!!  SO NICE!  We are so proud of Spencer and know that he will do great as a school counselor and Viewmont High School is lucky to have him!!  Wow, well that was a long post if I do say so myself!  I am so grateful for all of the blessings that my Heavenly Father gives to me!  I know that he loves me and my family and knows what's best for us! 

This is for you SHANNON...

Here are some sweet videos of the girls singing primary songs for you!

Summer FUN....Finally!

Here is Max watching everyone while we planted our garden! Such a sweetie!!

We got season passes to Seven Peaks this year..I am so glad we did! I love having a tan!!! Here are some pics of my girlies before we went to Seven Peaks last week!!

YAY!!! So happy to be going swimming in our new suits!

Sorry, no photos of Max in his swimming suit this time but soon! It is SO CUTE! The girls start swimming lessons tomorrow!! YAY for being out this summer!

LONG POST!!!!!

Alright guys, so my camera is a Kodak easy share but the easy share button broke or something so I haven't been able to get the photos off of my camera...so I took the memory card out and put it in another camera and there you have it! So here is from this past week all the way down to Easter...ENJOY!

So PROUD!!! It was cold and raining slightly but here we are after Abigale's graduation ceremony!

My sweet Abigale graduated Preschool this past week! She is such a blessing in our lives!!!

We spent the weekend in Park City with the whole Keddington Clan as Shannon is moving to AZ in a few short weeks, we had a lot of fun as we always do when we are together!! We were going to go to the Alpine slide but it is still closed as there is too much snow still so we went to the Olympic Park instead!!
Keddington KIDS!! Krista, Alicia, Derrick, Shannon, Nate, Spencer

At the Utah Olympic Park the other day and got our family pic in the Gold medal winning bobsled! AWESOMENESS!!! After this picture we walked (AKA HIKED) the entire bobsled trail...it was a mile long each way...but the little girls wanted to do it!

Spencer graduated with his masters on our 6 year anniversary! What a GREAT day it was!! I am so proud of my hubby and all of the hard work he does for our family!!

Soaking up the sun in the hot tub at Grammie and Papa's! Loved it!!

CHEESE!

Happy Max! So excited by everything around him!

Jelly bean SMILE!

Sweet Lyla Belle! She found her BIG egg!

Abby found the BIG egg the Easter bunny hid for her!

We did an early Easter hunt with my cousin Amanda and her family! The girls loved it!!!

Loading up the basket!!

Looking for eggs!

I can't believe May is almost over! Max hits the 8 month mark in TWO DAYS! He is growing up too fast!! I love my family and am so grateful to have them all in my life! What a blessing I have of knowing that I can be with them FOREVER!
