My World...

Jump On It!

Rory had to work this weekend (Boo!) So the kids and I met my friend Heather at Jump On It and had a blast! Not only do they have tons of trampolines, but they also have bounce houses and a toddler area for babies. There was a seeing eye dog there sleeping, Kinlee would look at it, look at me, and say, "Shhh!!" Connor loved shooting hoops and doing front and back flips. Kadence loved jumping off the platform onto the tramps. I loved the price, that place is cheap! After that we headed to Salt Lake to see grandpa and grandma Curtis and Wally and Kristene. I love going out to dinner, cruising the mall, and all the fun things we don't get to do in our small town. It's always so fun to visit with good family and friends!

Happy 30th!

Today my fabulous hubby turns 30!!! I can't believe it! We have been together for a decade and I wouldn't have it any other way. He works so hard to provide for our family, is an awesome daddy, and loves me unconditionally. Love you Rory Von!

Here are some birthday quotes I found that I thought would be fitting:

The only time you really live fully is from thirty to sixty. The young are slaves to dreams; the old servants of regrets. Only the middle-aged have all their five senses in the keeping of their wits.

After 30, a body has a mind of its own. - Bette Midler

When you turn thirty, a whole new thing happens: you see yourself acting like your parents. - Blair Sabol

30 is the new 20, unless your 20, then it's the new 40. - Dane Peddigrew

I may be thirty, but I'll always be flirty. (This one is so Rory!)

Age is strictly a case of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

The leprechaun came to visit our house last night. He messed up the kids rooms, hung their shoes in weird places, and of course left some yummy green treats and a gold presidential dollar for each of the kids.

Today was the annual St. Patrick's Day parade in Price, so we bundled up and headed to Main Street. MyKella and Kadee are in girl scouts and had to work the cookie booth, so we watched the parade near their booth. Kinlee LOVED the parade. She was hilarious! She kept pointing and saying ohhh! It was a really fun parade and I'm glad we went, even if we froze our behinds off.

Connor enjoying his nachos. The poor kid has another ear infection so he was absolutely miserable yesterday, but thankfully the antibiotic has kicked in and he's feeling much better.



Kadee and Kella selling Girl Scout Cookies. They are so cute, who wouldn't want to buy cookies from them?!


Kadee, Kella, and Kinlee waiting for the parade to start in their awesome St Patrick's Day gear grandma Debbie brought for them.

Baby Kittens!

I love living where we do. I didn't think I would ever say that, but I have enjoyed the easy living of Wellington. Rory finally got his turkey pen up and so far not one has escaped :) Our cat had kittens today. They are so precious and cute. One didn't make it right from the start and it was so sad, Connor cried and cried and it broke my heart. Three were doing really well and 2 were barely hanging on. The kids and I were so worried, so Rory spent the afternoon cleaning them, warming them, and feeding them lamb's milk through a dropper. They seem to be doing much better (they are the 2 orange kittens in the picture) and I really hope they make it. Here is a picture of the cute little babies:



Kinlee thinks it is so funny to try on Connor's underwear when we are folding laundry. It cracks us up every time, so I just had to post a picture:



Kadee has finally mastered the art of riding a bike with no training wheels. I can't remember if she was doing this well at the end of last summer, but she is officially a pro at riding her bike.

The Tooth Fairy

Guess who lost her first tooth... Miss Kadee! It has been loose for quite some time, but she wouldn't let any of us pull it. The kids had dentist appointments and Jennie, the dental assistant, put some numbing gel on it and I pulled it right out. She is so excited to get a visit from the tooth fairy.

Big girls don't cry...

Guess who learned to crawl out of her crib? Yes, you guessed it, little Miss Kin. So I took it down today and the last 2 nights she has slept in a toddler bed. Tear, I am so sad! Why do they have to grow up so fast?
