Crazy busy times!!!

SOO, the past few months have been crazy buys for our little family!Thanksgiving, Christmas, my little sister got engaged, I went to California to visit Kelli, it was my birthday, it was Austin's 3rd birthday, it was Ben's 29th, and it was Brooklyn's 5th Birthday! My sister got married, we have been back and forth between Rexburg and Boise 4 times in the past 6 weeks, Valentines Day...I could go ON AND ON AND ON!! Along with being five months pregnant and having sick kids lately, it's been crazy! So, that should explain why I haven't blogged forever and a year. Below is about 4 new posts, so keep reading! Besides being super busy, nothing new here! Just enjoying life! Hope everyone had a great few months, we love you all!

We went to Rexburg a few weeks to go through the temple with my little sister Taucia. While we were there Ben's family decided to have a little birthday party for Ben, Austin and Brooklyn since they are all so close. This is us celebrating! Below the fam is playing duck duck goose with the kids, and as you can see, Tiara is about to fly out of the window!! I love this picture, sorry T, had to post it! Konda made a very yummy ice cream cake for everyone, did gifts, played the Wii, Talon smothered Jake... everything ! Thanks guys, we love you!
































































So,believe it or not, my baby turned FIVE yesterday!! Yep, my little Brooklyn is now five years old. I seriously can't believe she is that old. It seems like yesterday she was my first little baby that I didn't want to put down for five seconds, fit in the corner of my arm, and now she's getting ready to start kindergarten! Brooklyn is the best big sister ever and such a good girl. Four has been my FAVORITE age so far. She is such good girl and has the biggest heart ever. She's for sure my shyest child, but I kind of like it! For her birthday we took her to Chucky Cheese..it was the highlight of her whole year I'm pretty sure. The kids ran around like crazy, got lots of tokens, ate pizza and cake...it was a great night!! Happy fifth birthday baby girl, we love you so much!
She of course got her much wanted Tinkerbell
cake!!







Of course the guys couldn't stay away from the hoops even for one night!!











Talon played with this ball all night, just rolling
it up and down, up and down!









Their favorite game for sure!











It's Chucky!!


























And of course all of the Tinkerbell dress up clothes you could think of!













It's my party!!!!














Smiles all night long!!




























Ben's Birthday was Feburary 9th! We had a little get together with some friends, I made him a homade ice cream cake, and we had a great time. 29 years old...next year is the big one!! haha! This is Ben at his parent's house the next week. We had a birthday party for him, Austin, and Brooklyn. His parents gave him some new shoes and money..perfect gift for my hubby. Love you babe, hope you had a good one, thanks for being my everything.












































I'm pretty sure Austin had the best birthday ever! He turned three years old, and boy will he let you know it! He loves transformers, so every gift he got pretty much had to do with that. We have this tradition of decorating the living room the night before each persons birthday and putting all of their gifts on the table. Here's my three year old tell me he's three now, very excited about his special day!
Most of you know the story of my sweet Austin, but I went into labor with him the day before I was scheduled to be induced, and by the time I got to the hospital, I was dialated to a 9..in the WORST pain of my life, and he came 16 minutes later. No time for an epidural, no time for MY doc to come, and no time to even get me in a real hospital room. He was delivered in a side triage room. I've always said that Austin has been my hardest from birth...lol, but he definitely is my best most lively child. Not afraid to speak his mind, will talk your ear off, is the most stubborn little thing ever..but at the same time, is the sweetest little man ever. Loves to cuddle, tells me ten times a day how "pretty" I am and that he loves me. I can't believe my kids are growing up so fast, time really does fly by. We hope you had a good birthday buddy, we love you!!!



























My Birthday was November 24 and it was great. Ben took me out to dinner with some friends, got me a cake and we opened presents with the kids when we got home. Earlier that day someone called and said they wanted to come look at our house (it's up for sale) So I spent the WHOLE DAY cleaning which I wasn't thrilled about, but that's ok. So that night made up for it, it was great, thanks babe!

Happy Birthday to you all! I can't believe Brooklyn is 5! It seems like we just celebrated her turning 1. I'm glad you had fun at the wedding. Your sister looks beautiful.
