More parties for Ethan!!

WOW that is a group of boys!!

We just don't get enough parties at our house!! It has been Ethan's birthday almost all week!! Lucky boy!! Friday we had his friends party afterschool. He invited some of his friends from the neighborhood. They had cake and icecream, presents, and a spongebob pinata (sp?)!! It was a beautiful day, thank goodness, I don't know if I could have handled all those boys in the house for 2 hours. They just played and enjoyed the beautiful day and each other's company.

Happy Birthday Ethan!!

Ethan's favorite cereal!! Lucky Charms!!

fun opening presents!!

Monday was Ethan's birthday, the big 8!! We had a small party for him on Sunday, with Grandma & Grandpa Williams and Grandma & Grandpa Wolfe, and Aunt Jennifer in Salt Lake. We celebrated his actual birthday Monday with our family and on Friday he is having his friends party. I only do parties with friends on even years, it is just too much with 6 kids to go all out every year. Plus even years are pretty significant years and milestones!! Here a just a few pics of his family birthday party!!

We have been busy!

Climbing on the giant frog!

Jennifer got a yummy cake for after her graduation dinner!!

Of course the wind had to blow just as the picture was getting taken!!

So alot has been going on this past week or so!! I went down with the kids to Salt Lake, for my sister, Jennifer's graduation. My parents flew out to see her and us!! So I have added some pics of some of the things we did over the weekend. We got to go to an exhibit at the University of Utah about frogs!! We had a lot of fun and got to see some very interesting little creatures. Ethan and Karli got to help feed the frogs, they enjoyed being little helpers. We had a really fun weekend. It was especially fun 'cause we got to be both sets of grandparents at the same time. The kids were a little confused on the whole relationship thing, but I think have it all figured out now. We had a great time staying at Grandma & Grandpa Williams' house, playing with everyone, eating, and doing some activities. It was a great Mother's Day to be with both my moms on a special day!! So some pics to view!!

New family picture

Last Saturday, April 25th, the Young Women in our ward did a fundraiser for girls camp and had a photographer come do family portraits. So we did that, since we have not had a family photo taken since Ryley was 18 months old. We obviously have had another baby since then and needed to get a complete family picture updated with everyone. We really loved our pictures, we had some of just the kids and of Travis and I also. I will get those posted soon, sorry for the blue line down the middle. We had to use the scanner at Travis' office, and it apparently has an issue. So it was the best we could do. We got a great big print to hang in our house, we are so blessed and grateful for a our wonderful and beautiful family!! I loved our bare feet!!
