Daughter of a King!!

Well I got back from Girls Camp this past Saturday. It was a really fun experience. First I need to thank my Mom and Dad for coming up and watching the boys. Tank went as one of the Priesthood leaders so they stepped in for a few days to be Mom and Dad to our boys! The theme for our camp this year was, Daughter of a King. Our ward has some of the best girls in it. All of them were so nice to everyone around them and willing to help out. I am sure they were a little afraid of me at first since I had to lay down the law a little bit but after a while I think they caught on to when I was joking around and when I was serious. We went up to Camp Woodland, which is about 45 minutes away in Morgan, Utah . The camp ground is owned by the church, so it is kept up nice. Our Stake keeps growing so we were packed in there pretty good with all 9 wards. There is a river that runs through the camp so the girls had fun going down it. Maybe next time I am up there I will go down, the water was a little too low for me this time. I didn't really want to bottom out. I did get to climb the rock wall they brought up and tha was a lot of fun! Overall it was a great experience thanks to the girls and leaders who helped out so much!

Happy Birthday Cooper!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Well I have to do this post a little early! Cooper's birthday is offically tomorrow, but I am leaving for Girls Camp at 6:30am and didn't think I would be up for posting before I go! We celebrated his birthday Sunday with Grandma and Grandpa Eves and Grandma and Grandpa Criddle. Cooper is such a good little boy. He always has a smile for everyone and will not be outdone by his older brothers. He babbles very loudly so that he can be heard. He loves to gives hugs and snuggle with Mom and Dad when he wants to play shy. He is a great addition to our family and we love him so much!

Happy Birthday Cooper!

Our Summer so Far

I have had camera issues lately so I haven't posted for a while. Here are a few things we have done this summer.

T-Ball and Machine pitch :

Caleb played his 2nd year of machine pitch baseball this year. He did really well, his team was the Blue jays! He was quite the hitter, he probably had 6 home runs. He is one of those kids who swings for the fences every time!

Cole played his first year of T-Ball this year. His team was the Angels! He had a hard time at first going to the games he like to have Caleb help out with his team(not so sure Cole's coach liked it too much!) He improved on his hitting throughout the season, halfway through the season he was hitting off his coaches pitch rather than the tee. Playing in the field was a different story though, he was more interested in catching his hat in the wind and talking to the players from the other team than fielding the ball.

Overall, we watched a lot of baseball and it was a lot of fun and a little peek of the life we have a head with 4 boys and baseball season! (It is gonna get crazy!)

Ward Party at Jensen Park:
We had a Ward Party at the end of May at the Park across the street from our house. There were canoes there for people to take out on the pond. So Tank took Cole and Brock and a few other kids form the ward out. They thought it was the coolest thing ever!!

Utah Summer Games:
This June I was able to go down to St. George and play in the Summer Games. This was our team - It's All Relative. Our team was made up of My Aunt Susie, My Cousin Amber, Rochelle(My Cousins Friend), My Cousin Alisa, My Sister Natalie, Myself, and My Sister-in-Law DayleMarie. Hence the all relative part. We started off a little rocky but ended up getting it all together and taking the Silver Medal! It was really fun!

Sweets Factory:

We recently went to the Sweets Candy Factory. They took us on a tour and we had to wear these nifty hairnets!! It was a lot of fun and after we went over to the Gateway Mall and had lunch and the kids played in the fountain.

Happy Birthday Brock!!!

1st Birthday

2nd Birthday

3rd Birthday

Today is Brock's 3rd Birthday! He is getting so big. We had a little party for him last night with some friends. We had Cafe Rio Salads since it is almost Cinco de Mayo. He was so excited for his birthday but he was most excited about his Choo-Choo Cake he was getting. He talked about that cake more than any present. He opened his presents today. He got a Thomas the Train: Train Rug, Tent, Pajamas , sleeping Bag, and Movie and(non Thomas items) a Bubble mower, Aquadoodle board, new church outfit, Wiggles, book, Some bubbles, chalk, and Super Spies movie. He loved all of his presents so thank you everyone for thinking of him! We love you so much Brock!!

Tulip Festival

On Monday we headed down to Thanksgiving Point to go to the Tulip Festival. I thought it would be some new and different to go do but I was so surprised at how cool it was. The kids had a great time running around and looking at all the flowers and fountains. They loved the Children's Garden. It had tunnels and a lighthouse, and Noah's ark, and bear, and mazes. It was awesome. Then after we were done walking through all the gardens we headed over to this large grassy area that had 3 huge waterfalls at the base of it. It was so pretty. We ate our lunch there and then we had to head back to go pick up Caleb from school. We will definitely be returning there as a family and spending even more time there.

Dairy Farm

My friend Tagan' s family has a Dairy Farm and every year some FFA groups go over and they have Farm Days. The past 2 years Calebs School class has gone for a field trip and Tagan has been nice enough to invite us a long with her girls during Farm Days. It is pretty neat. They bring in some sheep, llamas, baby goats, baby calfs, and of course there are cows there. Cole and Brock liked looking at the animals from a distance but not too brave when it came to petting them. It was such a nice day that after we went over to Tagans' parents house to have lunch in their backyard. We all got a little bit of sun but we have to enjoy it when we can get it lately. Cooper was such a great baby he rode in the stroller and even took a little nap.

TreeHouse Museum

The week after we got back from the cruise we took the boys to the Treehouse Museum in Ogden. It is a pretty cool place, it was the first time I had ever been there. Brock was in heaven they have a little area with about 6 or 7 train tables set up for the kids to play with. He pretty much spent his whole time there.

There an old-fashion fire truck that all the boys loved to play on. There was a music area where Cooper enjoyed beating on the drum. There were a ton of different dress-ups for the kids to try on. We stayed for like 2 1/2 hours and the boys wanted to stay longer. We will definitely have to go back.
