Heidi is now a BIG GIRL!

Before we went to salt lake we took down the baby crib. Heidi didn't climb out of it but we figured it would be a good trip to take it up with us since we were taking the truck. So, bye bye baby crib. Heidi didn't know what to think. She kept saying her crib is going to grandpa woof woofs house. We brought back Maegans old house bed. Heidi was SO excited when we put it together. The first night she didn't want to go to sleep and kept getting out. (I was thinking...oh no the freedom of putting her down and knowing she will stay is gone) But now she takes her naps good (we still have to have the primary songs playing when she naps and her bed time lullaby when she goes to sleep) She LOVES her bed. Allie likes to sleep with her. It's a twin size bed. She has such a cute room. We put the little kitchen in there, and her make up vanity and her other toys. It's cute how much she likes to play in her room now. She is so excited about her room. We were glad Paris was done with the bed and now she can have her turn and then Jamie. It's so fun to be able to share with family. :)

Maegan's Big Solo!

Maegan was in Honors Choir last year and she wanted to do a solo but was really scared... so we talked her into trying to try out so she did! SHE MADE IT! she sang two solos in the song popular from wicked. she did a great job!

Grandma and Grandpa Dansies house!

We went to Grandma and Grandpa Dansies house! I brought my friend Lexi up there!
We had the funnest time! Me and lexi really wanted to go and do baptism's at the Salt Lake Temple and allie wanted to go walk around temple square. After that Grandpa took us to eat at the Nauvoo cafe' it was so good! We went to the top of the Joseph Smith Building and took pictures of the kids with the temple behind us. they are so precious!

Our WaterSlide!

Our water slide we got last year broke so my mom and Jillian our neighbor across the street went and got a new really fun one! The kids love when we put it up we have like the whole neighborhood over here! it is really fun and when we need to cool down it is the perfect way to do it!

Allie's Baptism!

Well Allie turned big 8! she was so excited to get baptised! Her and her friend Matt Gotfredson were the only two in the stake that got baptised that day! They have been Bf's since they were just little babies. so it was very exciting for them!
Then allie and matt during the opening excersises sang the song from the children's song book, "i know when i am baptised" they did it so beautifully. and I (maegan) played the violin also during the song!
Josh gave a talk and Nate (matts brother) also gave a talk so it was the brothers talking. After we went up to the santa clara park and had a lunch/ dinner for the two! we had families from our ward come and celebrate. She had a very special day!








allie wanted her hair like my mom's was for her baptism!

Mom it's been way to long.....

This is Maegan Mom, I am going to update your blog. It has been way to long. So if you want me to, I will update it for you okay. Love ya :)

High School Musical Karaoke Night

For Family night last night we had a fun time. First we had a nice barbecue dinner out on the
back porch. It was fun to enjoy the afternoon shade and pretty Pine Valley Mountains. Then the kids wanted to go swim next door while Rob was finishing wire the pool up. So they did and it was very cold but they still had fun.

Then AJ and Stephanie came over and we had a karaoke night. They each took turns singing songs on the Wii from High School Musical. It was fun to see them perform with each other. It's so fun having cousins live close.

Love Sunday Afternoons

The girls had fun writing letters and drawing pictures for Grandpa and Grandma. Even Heidi had fun - look at that grin. Cute Heidi. Thank you Allie for helping Heidi learn to color. She loves to do just what you do. What great big sisters you both are.




















You can see Maegan was working on her Math homework. She is doing good in school. We are very proud of you Megs.


Look at how cute this is....Josh fell asleep in our room. He was watching the living scriptures of Alma the Younger. I think he was just beat.










Rob had fun helping Maegan with her Math and at the same time searching the internet for some Jeep parts he has been saving to order to get his Jeep looking better. I had fun taking pictures of everyone.

Saturday at Lowes

We had to go to Lowe's Saturday to get some things for Rob's parents pool and so we had Heidi and Allie with us. Too funny because Heidi had to wear her sunglasses and bring her cell phone with her. She was talking on it the whole time to Grandma ( the phone is just an old broken phone so she was pretending) Then look at her and Allie in the shopping cart - she is STILL talking. So funny. She sure loves her grandparents. She also loves doing just what I love to do - talk on the phone :) It's funny how the little kids just watch everything we do. Which is a good reason to always try to be doing the best of things. right :)

Friday Night at the Parr Home

Friday night late party at the Parr Family Home. Maegan and her two friends Brooklyn and Lexi made a treat they learned in TLC Foods class. You take a biscuit and marsh mellow and Cinnamon/sugar and roll it and bake it. I totally remember making these in middle school. How funny. They had fun.



So for the family room the carpet was coming on Saturday morning . We had pulled out all of the carpet and we had carpet coving around the walls. I really wanted baseboard. So luckily we looked up in the bonus room and there was some molding - enough to do the family room with baseboard.
So at 5:00 Rob started panting the base board. We were having a neighborhood party out front and so we were visiting and our good friend Dan Gearhart asked if he could help Rob. Dan is a professional door maker etc. Very good work. So at 9:00 p.m Dan shows up with this big cutting saw table and ready to help. Mike Warren was also there to help, another one of our good friends. So the wives, Tiffany and Collen and I were able to visit and have fun just hanging out with each other. It is so nice to have such wonderful friends who share their skills to help each other out. We are very blessed with a wonderful neighborhood and wonderful friends.
So it was midnight when we were all finished. We helped pack up Dan's tools and we now had the baseboards that are PERFECT in every way done by 3 wonderful guys. Thank you for all your help. We love it.

Then on Saturday Morning the carpet came and Brother Rod Parry installed it. He started at 7:30 and did the pad and was done with everything by 11:15. Love it, Love it. It is SO soft and makes the room look brand new. don't you think....Rob said he had to take this picture of me because I was so excited of the new look.


We have all the furniture moved back in and it looks like a brand new house. Thank you for all those that helped on this project. We love it. You can tell the kids love it. They all want to play on it. In fact, Heidi fell asleep on the carpet yesterday. Funny.

2 April Birthday Sisters

"It's so fun to have a sister whose birthday is so close to mine" is what Allie says. "We can just have our birthday parties together mom, that would save time huh" LOL Allie you are so cute. I just had to add this cute picture of the birthday girls.

Grandpa and Grandma Dansie

We love our Grandpa and Grandma Dansie. Thank you for all that you do for our family. We love both of you and we are so blessed to have the best grandparents ever!!!

Granpd and Grandma Parr

Heidi sure has gotten to know Grandpa and Grandma Parr lately. She is warming right up to them. She has even been running over to their house next door looking for them. This will be fun having them close by. The kids are excited to have grandparents in town. Thanks to Grandpa and Grandma Parr for all you do for us. We love you both!! It was fun having them stay at our house this last weekend. When Heidi woke up she wanted to cuddle with Grandpa.

Four Wheeling with the Atkin Family

On Saturday the Atkin Family invited us to go four wheeling with them. Maegan and Lexi and Brielle had a fun time riding around together. Josh had fun riding with Kayden. Josh just keeps getting better every time we go riding. Maegan, Josh, Lexi all got some serious air when they were cruising up the hill.

Rob had fun he brought both his four wheeler and his motorcycle...
Bridgit, Allie, Heidi and myself .... we drove the jeep. We even climbed up the sand hill in four wheel drive and we did a little of our own fourwheelin....What fun times....We had to laugh because we only got stuck 2 times. Well not stuck but we had to back down the hill and start over again. It was very hot Saturday. It was fun hanging out with the Atkin Family. Thanks for inviting us.

Allie Loves to play the piano

Allie is such a good piano player. She is faithful with her practicing as well. She comes right home from school and starts practicing. On the day's that I don't work she likes to practice before school. Heidi likes to look up and watch her practice. Even cousin Jamie likes the piano. Allie Thank you for being such a great example to these cute little girls. We sure love you!!
