So I hear it's supposed to be summer now....

The calendar says June, but it looks like Mother Nature has other plans.  We have had a VERY wet, VERY cold and rainy start to our summer.  But, we have still had lots of fun.

K was so cute for her pre-school graduation.  She is growing into such a big girl.  We are so proud of her and she is such a sweet, smart little thing.  

 When you've got a mug this sweet, you can't leave it out.

 K and her super amazing pre-school teacher Mrs. Jami.  She is the best teacher ever.  We are so lucky to have her as a pre-school teacher.  

 Here are all the local Cady cousins jumping on the trampoline.  Summer always means more trips to Grandma's house.  

 The family took a small trip to SLC earlier this week.  We went to the Church History Museum and spent several hours in the Children's exhibit.  D was very proud of the magnet quilt square he made.  

 The kids and I enjoyed the Mexican Dance lessons.

 Even Bubby is getting big enough to get in on the fun.

 Our little family in front of the Salt Lake Temple.  

 I was surprised at how well the kids did going to temple square.  They were well behaved and actually interested in learning about things.  I guess they are growing up.

Today I took the kids to the Treehouse Museum with my good friend Kinsey and her kids.  We both have 1 in school 1 preschooler and 1 baby (that's 6 kids if you're counting!!!)

 Bubby liked driving the fire-truck and wearing the super cool hat.

D ridding the bucking bronco (he's starting to look a little too big). 

 Bubby loved climbing through the tunnel and I was so grateful.  I could sit while he did that.  The rest of the time I was running after him as he dodged in and out of every room and corner.  I was very tired by the end.

 The Treehouse Museum is made for K.  She loved dressing up in every room and lost herself in all the imagination.  She thought the cow milking was fun, and I know the entire time she was daydreaming about being a milk maid in some distant land.

 K prepped the table for the tea party.....

 ....and the mad hatter (D) got the hat suck on his big noggin.

 Bubby was pretty sure he was going to get the sward out of the stone.  He climbed up to pull it out all on his own.  I wonder how he knew he was supposed to pull it out?

 May I introduce Martha and George Washington (the little guy is Kinsey's)  I love the stoic looks on their faces (their idea, these two have the best imaginations)

 K was the cutest puppy for the dramatization.  They pick kids out of the audience to act out different parts.  D and his friend M were the prince and king earlier, so we were glad K got play the part of the dog in another show. 

Lastly, K and I in our matching jammies for the mother daughter party.  I hurried home from the museum so I could get to the church for the party.  K and I actually one for the best mother/daughter jammies.  It was a busy day but it was a really fun day too.  

I sure do love being mom to these little monkeys.

Don't you just love childrens museums? They have some of the coolest stuff. Had I visited one of those as a kid, I'm sure I would have been in heaven. What fun.

Congratulations on your matching pj win. My favorite part is the cap. You are the coolest person M.

Keep singing until the end of the song

Since my last post we lost 2 more precious babies.  On September 30, 2016 we lost our beautiful baby girl Felicity at 5 months.  Almost a year later, we found out we were expecting agin.  Sadly on Dec.1, 2017 we lost our little boy, Elijah.  I need to write their stories, but the feelings and emotions are still very raw and difficult.  While I hope to share them someday, today is not that day. Today is December 21, just a few more days until Christmas.  I LOVE Christmas.  The lights, smells, delicious food, family and friends, and especially the music.  I love to sing Christmas songs and look forward to it every year.  But this year it was hard to sing the songs I love so much.  This year singing about the miraculous birth brought sadness and even anger.  I have struggled to feel the Christmas Spirit. I imagine it is difficult to experience any loss during the Christmas season.  A holiday that focuses so much on family, fri...

Disneyland and California

Wow, what a fun adventure we had. It was a perfect vacation. Everything was fantastic, and we had a blast. Here is a quick little run down. (the pics are not in order, sorry). Here is the mandatory picture of the kids in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle. Just a cute picture of K up in a tree house on pirate island (formerly Tom Sawyer's island) One of the biggest highlights of the trip was D being chosen to participate in Jedi training camp. He was so excited he was actually shaking. It was AWESOME. He got to learn some Jedi moves from a Jedi master, and then he got to fight Darth Vader. It was really fun, he is still talking about it. Here we are on one of the Bug's Life rides in California Adventures. The highlight for K was seeing and talking to real princesses. She was nervous at first, but quickly warmed up. She was so cute and sweet, it almost made me cry (the 2 hr. wait in line cured me of any tears). She kept telling us how Belle had a dress "all the...

The joy of family pictures

Why is it so hard to get a good family picture.  I would be happy if everyone just looked at the camera.  Here are our latest pics. This was our best family picture.  As you will see, K did not want to cooperate.     Isn't that fun.  All the crying and the whining, and that was just Kent.   The kids and the dog took some cute pictures.   Kent and I did okay.  Together we were a mess.  By the way, this is the picture I ended up using to represent our family.  It seemed the most fitting.   Someday, (sigh) someday we will have a great family picture.
