Reflections contest.

The reflections contest theme was Diversity Means.... So when I explained what the word diversity was, Brooklynn immediately knew that she wanted to paint a picture of her eyes. In the description she said "Diversity means that everyone is special and different. Even me and my two colored eyes." She did the whole thing. All I helped her with was draw the almond shape with a pencil and she did the rest. She didn't win anything, but I was very proud of her and she is an amazing little artist.

Talented little Berkie! I love this girl.

I can't believe what a talented little girl I have. And she is just so grown up.

St. George November 2011

We cuddled and watched movies!

We went shopping!

Swimming! Even though it was a freezing weekend, it happened to be a really warm pool. We went swimming almost every day we were there. I happened to enjoy the hot tub more!

We had a lot of fun at the park. We have gone to two different parks while visiting St. George. This one was fun, but my favorite is the one by Uncle Kelly's house.

Cam is a daring little boy which is not good for a crazy protective mamma!

Brooklynn loves playgrounds too. And always has a lot of fun posing for pictures.

Little McKenna was cold, but had fun in the tunnel.

Snow Canyon Half Marathon

We were freezing waiting to see the guys come through the finish line. But it is always worth it.

Poor Brooklynn was an icecube. So sad. But she loves watching Ryan's races.

Ryan finished quick, but was also freezing.

McKenna had it the best. She got nice and toasty in the stroller. She even fell asleep for about 30 minutes.

Cam watched with Grandma Oldroyd for Grandpa to finish.

The two finishers. It was fun for them to do this again together. I am trying to find a good San Diego race that they can run. Then we could go to Sea World. Brooklynn's dream vacation.

Ron finished in ... (TBA)

Ryan finished in ... (TBA) and got 2nd place in mens ages 30-34. Way to go Ryan!

Halloween 2011

We went to Gardner Village and did the witch hunt and got the kids and Grandma Bean's faces painted by my cousin Jennifer.

I got to help at Brooklynn's school Halloween party.

We read stories!

Played lots of games.

Did some crafts!

Decorated and ate cookies!

Brooklynn was really shy during the parade.

Grandma Bean came to watch too!

Halloween is a fun time at our house. We have 3 birthdays in October and I love to dress up and our house is always decorated!

The kids got to eat Count chocula cereal for Breakfast.

I dressed up as Rapunzel.

Brooklynn was Jessie from Toy Story 2.

Cameron was Buzz Lightyear.

McKenna was my cute little Peacock!

It was a fun Halloween. We got a lot of candy. (We actually still have some of the candy. I think I will just throw it away since it is almost Easter.)

Wheeler Farm Birthday Party part 2

Some favorites from Wheeler Farm.

Took the first picture when Cam was a baby and I had to do the same picture. The only problem was the sun was horrible and this was at the end of the party and both kids were not very happy about it. So they didn't turn out great, but still a fun picture to see how much they have grown.

I have always loved this picture of Brooklynn. She was 3 years old in the first one and 5 (almost 6 in the other)

Watching the ducks!

The kids loved petting the horses.

Dennis cousins in the wagon!

Taking a little break in the outhouse!

Yay for Wagon Rides!

McKenna enjoyed the whole thing too!

It was a fun party for Cameron especially. I can't believe how big my kids are getting.

Wheeler Farm Birthday Party part 1

I can't believe that Cameron turned 3. Time just flew by so fast. He is my wild child. Fun, energetic, exhausting, fun loving, sweet little mamma's boy.

McKenna is and always will be my little baby. She has always been so little and sweet. Doesn't want to give up her bottle and loves just being held. She is such a sweet little thing.
