Girl Birthday's

We got to celebrate Kayley and Kenzie's birthdays while we were in Arizona.

I cannot believe Kayley is already twelve.

For her birthday we watched General Confernce, got lunch from Joe's BBQ, opened presents, and had dinner with friends while the men went to the Priesthood session.  I went to the park and visited with friends before dinner as well.  It was fun to visit with them (too bad I forgot to take the camera with me).

For Kenzie's birthday we went to the Phoenix Zoo.  That is such a fun place.  We always have a good time.  Thanks Pam and Mary for getting us in for free.  We ate lunch there and then had McDonald's for dinner.  After dinner we did presents and cake with the Johnson's and Palmer's.  It is so fun to get together with two great families that we love and miss being around all the time.

(I unfortunately didn't get any pictures of Cameron and only one of Kayley, but they were there with us.)

 What a cute birthday girl.  She really is a special girl that brings lots of smiles into our family.

 Love her smile.

 Her Pinkie Pie cake.  Thankful it turned out looking like this.  At one point it looked more like a pig then a pony.

We had a ton of fun while we were in Arizona.  On one of the days Brent took the four kids (Hannah and I stayed behind and took naps) to a preseason baseball game.  One night we got together with our wonderful friends and neighbors, the Dillon's.  We were able to let the kids do an Easter Egg hunt with friends from our old ward. 

We also went to Tumbleweed Park.  That is a family favorite.

Spring Break

This year for Spring Break we went down to Arizona to visit family and friends.

Brent had to be in Las Vegas for work so the kids and I drove down and met him Thursday night.  The hotel we stayed in had huge rooms. 

Friday while he was working we went to the Las Vegas Temple and took pictures.

Just to warn you though it is picture overload.  When you have several hours to spare what better way then to take pictures of a beautiful building, cute kids and gorgeous flowers.

 Kenzie really enjoyed posing for me.

 She can be so crazy and silly.  But sure is cute.

 This is how most of her pictures ended up.  She was loving running around.

 This is probably my favorite picture of the day.

How can she be so grown up and beautiful?

These are just a few of the gorgeous flowers that were there.  It was absolutely wonderful to walk around and see all of the beauty the Lord has put on this earth.

Catch up time!!

I have decided that I will do a few catch up posts since I haven't posted in several months (time is going way too fast).

On St. Patrick's Day the Palmer's got together for the monthly Family Home Evening at the Church History museum in Salt Lake. 

I took alot of pictures but will just do a few for now.  The kids all had a lot of fun running from one activity to another.

 Cameron and Kenzie fishing off of Nephi's ship

 Kenzie gave up on the fishing pole and just went and got her own fish.

 Cameron and his cousins playing games from the Friend magazine on the computer.

 All of the kids loved the computers.

Kayley had fun with trying the Mexican dancing.   

Kenzie then wanter to join in.

 Hannah really enjoyed seeing herself in the mirror.  I loved watching her give herself kisses.

Cory did a great job at the dancing as well.

These are items that were donated by some of Brent's relatives from the home up in Bloomington, Idaho (Bear Lake).
