Happy Birthday ADARIUS

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! I can't believe he is 5 years old. He is getting bigger and smarter every day. We are so lucky to have Adarius in our family. He is so creative and brings so much ENERGY to our family. He is such a loving boy and can't wait for kindergarten to start. We love you Adarius!!!!

Animal House

Ever since Pettis has been gone it seems as if the all animals are aware that we are in need of some extra love. We never noticed how many cats were in the neighborhood till recently. The other day we opened the door and a kitten ran in and spent some time with the boys. There have been several cats that have come to visit us since then. It is amazing to us because we are not "cat" people and these cats are the nicest, sweetest and cuddly cats ever!! On top of that, last night we were walking my mom out, and the cutest little doggie ran up to the porch. We have never seen it and new it wasn't one of the neighbors. He felt comfortable enough to walk in the house and make him self at home. It turns out he was lost all day so we sadly returned him to his owners.
The cat pictured above is one that amazingly figured out how Pettis's doggy door works. Elan and I were putting the boys to bed and I thought I heard the doggy door but thought it was just the wind. Sure enough, here comes this cat strolling in our house just as if he has lived there for years. No he is not our cat but yes that is our bed he is fast asleep which he has spent all night in. We really need another animal!!!

Easter 09

Easter was a lot of fun this year! We colored Easter eggs on Saturday, and on Sunday Adarius and Tavian woke up and were so cute and excited to go look for their Easter baskets that the Easter bunny had hidden. The Easter bunny also hid some eggs that they had to go find. We went to church and they had a great Easter program. After church we headed up to Aunt Lorrie's and Uncle Ken's house for dinner and a fun easter egg hunt for the kids. The kids had a blast and dinner was so yummy!

Soccer here we come!

Adarius had his first soccer game tonight. The outfit is a hideous one but he was warm and I guess that's what counts. We were so proud of Adarius he showed us such self-confidence by making new friends and really participating in the game! He did a great job and we can't wait to cheer him on next week! GO ADARIUS

St. George Weekend

This past weekend we went down to St. George with Kim and her family. Lexi was in a dance competition. I went last year to support her and we made it a fun girls trip. This year we decided to leave on Thurs. with the kids and then have the husbands (Elan and Lee) meet us down there on Fri. The dance competition was a lot of fun and I was in heaven watching all of the talent and of course wishing I could still dance like the girls. Lexi did a great job and I was very proud of her! The guys were able to golf Saturday afternoon and the weather could not have been more perfect! We were planning to leave Sun. but we had heard that it was snowing back at home so... Kim and I said bye bye to the hubby's and decided to stay another night! We had a great time the kids got along great and it was such a fun quick getaway!
The kids couldn't get enough of the hot tub. It was to cold to use the pool so we would just heat the hot tub to about bath water and they would stay in there for hours. These boys were living it up!!
