Daphne has been loving underwear for quite some time now. She finds the boys underwear around the house and loves to try and put them on.
<br />
Today she found a pair of underwear that fit the hawk. So I helped her get them on. She was very happy that he had underwear.Whitnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06855656778344764944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1305403440847399848.post-75340393716510380892014-07-02T20:19:00.000-07:002015-02-01T20:19:19.857-08:00Tyler's Eagle June 2014<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tyler got his eagle. He did a project for Weinberg School in Chandler Az. He made stools for the kinder and 1st grade classes. The principal said that some students had legs that were short and couldn't reach the ground yet. Studies have shown that when you can have your feet still and supported there is a marking increase in concentration, and learning. Better handwritting too. So we took it on. Tyler put together a project to make 150 stools for the school. 3 different sizes, depending on the different kid's needs. Delivered them Jan 8th of 2014 and got the eagle finished right before he turned 15. We are pretty proud of Tyler. He worked hard and was a great leader. <a href="http://i775.photobucket.com/albums/yy38/wowamomof6/2014%20Tylers%20Eagle/EagleCourtHonorkh-50_zps0e966d9a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i775.photobucket.com/albums/yy38/wowamomof6/2014%20Tylers%20Eagle/EagleCourtHonorkh-50_zps0e966d9a.jpg" /></a></div>

Today I am so grateful for my family. I have witnessed so many wonderful things today. Anyone else would think it was a very ordinary day and not very exciting. After all I didn't go to Europe or New York or seaside and witness some beautiful things in the ocean. No nothing exciting like that. I'll tell you what. The joy in my life is our new baby girl. But the pure joy in my life is watching the big boys with her. All of the boys are great with her but there's something about watching these teenage boys baby talk to a one-year-old. It is magical. I love love watching them play with her and love her and look at me and wonder at how amazing she is. I can't believe how vital she is to our family. Daphne turned one this weekend and she is so much fun and so beautiful and so amazing and she has such a sweet spirit and a great personality. She is getting a little bit demanding but I'm sure that she will grow out of it. Ha ha. <img alt="" class="en-media" data-mce-selected="1" data-mce-src="https://www.evernote.com/shard/s115/res/94c54e0a-baa4-4a44-89f9-5b87cce0b3ca/Evernote%20Camera%20Roll%2020140505%20152107.jpg?resizeSmall&width=970" height="1615" name="94c54e0a-baa4-4a44-89f9-5b87cce0b3ca" src="https://www.evernote.com/shard/s115/res/94c54e0a-baa4-4a44-89f9-5b87cce0b3ca/Evernote%20Camera%20Roll%2020140505%20152107.jpg?resizeSmall&width=970" style="border: 0px; height: auto; margin: 0.857412em 0px 1.286em; max-width: 100%; outline: black solid 1px; padding: 0px; resize: none;" width="2154" /></div>

Allison did amazing thing this weekend. She put together a present for my mom and for Arnon. Her mother in law. She made a shadowbox with a bunch of butterflies inside of it. Each one represented a member of the family. So there's lots and lots of butterflies showing all the grandchildren. The mothers were looking at it and cooing and loving it. I finally got a chance to look at it and I noticed that there was a next or butterfly and Alison's row. No name. I looked at her and I was stunned. I knew she wanted to have another one but I didn't realize that she was already pregnant. She nodded and was crying a little bit. Everybody else caught on very quickly and figured out what was going on. It was quite a show. It was a very creative and fun way to announce the baby. I looked over at Terry as he was looking at the shadowbox and figured it out on his own and the look on his face was absolutely so amazing. Talk about pure joy.!!! He was just dumbfounded. And he was crying and so excited. It was so awesome to witness it. </div>

For Daphne's first birthday we did her smash cake pictures on our empty lot. Amanda and mom were there to happily help little Daphne get ready for her shoot. Like most when-year-old babies she was pretty mystified by the cake in front of her. But she quickly got to it. Daphne is now walking pretty well. Today is May 19th. So couple weeks after her first birthday and she is walking around like a champ.<br />

Well we are on our fourth draft of the house. Our architect is working on the layout for the basement. Hopefully will be able to meet with him soon and finish up and get the drawings ready to start the project. We are getting more and more excited about it. I took the boys out to the lot to take some pictures of the seven kids. We had lots of fun doing really good and very cooperative. Nathan was also a very big help. I love these pictures so so much. I'm so glad we got to do it.</div>

This last picture was when we were all done with the shoot and the boys were just playing around on the grass. And it found some bugs and the other boys were showing interest. They were just wonderful.

I am going to go back and fill in some events. Tyler finished his Eagle and January. He started it in November 2012. The paperwork took some time. He could've finished it much sooner but kept putting it off. We are so pleased that he was able to get it all finished up before he turned 15. He is such a fantastic kid and he worked really hard on his project and I think that he should be very proud of himself. So glad that he is being such a good example to his little brothers also. The other day he received his certificate in the mail. We are going to do his court of honor May 10, 2014. </div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
In February the practices for the cultural celebration started. We met together as a stake at Athlos School and Chandler. It was a pretty crowded gym. I got asked at the last minute to be a photographer for the stake. It was such an honor to take pictures of all these amazing kids. I'm sure I have all the pictures saved. There is also tons and tons on the Internet. During the practices the kids were excited and had a good time with the singing and dancing. Some of them definitely did not like it but they all did it and it was really fun to be a part of. We had practice at the park on February 22 2014. We were region too. We had green shirts. And we met in a parking lot east of the temple. Then after lunch we walked over to the park as a group. The park was absolutely packed with people, tents, chairs, jackets, food, bags etc. The leaders were not allowed to park at the park. They had to be very organized and meet ahead of time and schedule someone to drop them off at the park and then be picked up again afterwards. The practice that Friday went really well until the sun went down and the kids started stomping on the field with practice and also playing between the practice times. Lots of dust got kicked up and several people had allergy problems and had to be taken to the medical tent to have breathing treatments. They ended up cutting the practice short that evening because of the dust. I felt so sorry for those kids. Especially since by the time I got home I was in a full-fledged allergy attack also. It was horrible. I had to do a breathing treatment and I finally was able to breathe at about 11 o'clock that night. The leaders involved with making this happen were absolutely incredible. They had so much foresight and inspiration in all that they did. It was just a dream come true for me to be able to be a part of it. I was sad about not being able to go. And not being able to be there. I took this in stride because every other parent was not going to be able to be there as well. <img alt="" class="en-media" data-mce-selected="1" data-mce-src="https://www.evernote.com/shard/s115/res/961a64dd-7bcf-48a1-8c91-34bcf4303f0e/Evernote%20Camera%20Roll%2020140314%20224406.jpg?resizeSmall&width=970" height="932" name="961a64dd-7bcf-48a1-8c91-34bcf4303f0e" src="https://www.evernote.com/shard/s115/res/961a64dd-7bcf-48a1-8c91-34bcf4303f0e/Evernote%20Camera%20Roll%2020140314%20224406.jpg?resizeSmall&width=970" style="border: 0px; height: auto; margin: 0.857412em 0px 1.286em; max-width: 100%; outline: black solid 1px; padding: 0px; resize: none;" width="1400" /></div>

Tyler is in the very end on the left. And Oscar is all the way on the right. Tyler is wearing a yellow shirt and Oscar is wearing a purple shirt. This was taken on the day of celebration. The practices all during the day did not have any rain. There are lots of accounts of what happened on this day. I get choked up thinking about it. The week before the performance on March 1. We were very worried about the weather. It said that it was going to rain on Saturday. And it would only rained that day. Everyone prayed that it would rain on Friday to control the dust and that we would have clear skies on Saturday to be able to do our practice and perform. And miracles do happen that day. While we were at the park practicing all day from 12 o'clock until 630. There was clear skies directly above us. The storm was on either side and in the front and in the back. I was just amazed every time I looked up to see patches of blue directly above us. While all around the skies were dark gray. Of course you can look at it in a negative light and say that heavenly father did not stay the skies for our performance but looking back it was just so perfect. So as you can tell the rain did come. It started raining at about 630. Half an hour before the performance started. They gathered all the kids on the field before the prophet came so that they could be there to greet him when he arrived. The rain was coming down pretty hard at that point. I looked around all the leaders and the kids and I never saw one single person say maybe we should postpone this. Everyone was excited about it and ready to go even if it rained. They did not care. The cars holding the prophet and leaders backed into the park and we could see their lights as it rolled down the road towards the awning where they would be sitting. It was such an amazing thing to see all the kids clapping and screaming and so excited to see Pres. Monson. When Pres. Eyring spoke the rain stopped. We were all so excited to think that was going to stop. But it continued. It was kind of depressing that the rain would not stop. but there was definitely moments where I looked out to see the kids working so hard and continuing to try during the rain and I thought it doesn't matter. It was fun in a way. But as the night went on it was just so cold and they were so completely soaked and it was hard to be happy and chipper and energetic. But I think that the kids learned that they can do hard things that they can work in the rain and that they can still work together as a group. I hardly sought anybody complain. I didn't see anybody say they did not want to go back on the field into their songs. All wanted to participate. Luckily for me I change my clothes in my dad's car before it went out on the field and he loaned me his trenchcoat jacket. This kept me dryer much longer. But by the end of the night I was soaked through just like everyone else. I had a cover for my camera and I kept my hands inside of the plastic covering the entire time and I took pictures as much as I could. It wasn't freezing cold but it was uncomfortable and wet and windy. It's hard to describe how I felt watching the kids do something that was hard like that. But it the same time being excited and forgetting about their discomfort. Even my boys who could've easily come up to me and complained and said they didn't want to do it, they did not. They were cold but they never said they wanted to stop or quit. When we were done we had to gather up the boys things. This meant that we had to walk all the way across the park to the other side of the lake and locate the things which were underneath canapés and piled in with everyone else's stuff. It was a daunting task. Partially because there were so many people there and all you had to do was take your eyes off a person for two seconds and they would be gone. We actually lost Oscar for a little while and it was irritating because we wanted to leave so bad. But Tyler and I stuck together and found the things we needed to find and got ourselves out of there. Need to say a little bit about Shannon. Shannon Williams was my partner in the picture taking. She was the one with all of the great lenses and equipment. And the rain started coming down she was not dressed for it. She got soaked very quickly and could not handle the wet as well as others because of her <span style="line-height: 1.428571em;">back. If she starts shivering her back the season. She has had a chronic back problem for a while. So she had to leave early before it was over. So when it was over she texted me and offered to come and pick us up. This was awesome because Nathan had all the kids at home and he would've had to leave them or bring them with him and it would've been difficult and it would've taken more time. We were very grateful to her for doing this for us. So after we found Oscar and all the things we walked across to the school just north of the temple. Well we waited on the porch at the school the rain was coming down so hard and filling every single flower bed and running and running down the streets. We knew that it would soon be over and so we tried her best to stay positive and happy. Oscar by that time was pretty miserable. He was very cold and was anxious to get home to get dry. Again I'm very happy with how the boys handled this difficult thing. Shannon picked us up and had hot chocolate for us in the back of her car. I think the rest of the story can be filled in by watching the video of the performance. I hope I can get the boys to fill in some information also maybe to write in a journal somehow. </span></div>

The open house is going really well. Temple is more beautiful than I could've ever imagined. The boys and I drive past it every day and I just marvel at how close it is to our house and I can't believe the boys are going to grow up with temple so nearby. We are so incredibly blessed and I am so grateful. I encourage them even now when they are so young that they need to take advantage of having the temple so close. I'm hoping that Tyler and Oscar will want to go into baptisms often at the temple. I know that I am very excited to be able to go into sessions. My friends and I are already planning swaps kids so that we can go. </span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
So about three weeks ago my friend Harmony Brice introduced me to a new school. And I decided that Tyler needed to check it out see if it was something that he should do. We went over there last week and spent the day at the Kimber Academy. Ty really liked it and he wants to go there. I prayed about it and I think that it will be a really good idea to send him there. I think that he will have a better opportunity to learn and grow and master the Core subjects. All the boys want to go. But we're going to start off with Tyler and hope that he will do really well. Really really pray that it will be a good fit for him and that he will flourish do so well and that he will gain knowledge and be able to progress quickly through his studies. Means that he will not be taking any academic classes in high school. He will just take some electives and he can do sports. So we're hoping that he will get the best of both worlds. Be able to have the academics served to him in a way that he can learn. And have the social life at High school that he really wants to have. Tonight was. Orientation. Oscar and Tyler went with me and it was so fun to be on a high school campus with both of them. They are growing up so fast and lately they have been getting along really well. I'm so proud of them and tonight was just a really nice evening. We had a very late FHE. Burton taught us about Abraham and his son. He did a really good job. Little boys were in bed and so we had an opportunity to talk to visit and have a really nice evening together. There was no fighting no snarking or rude comments. I just loved it. Everyone was smiling and happy. Especially seeing Tyler like that was such a joy. And times he takes his job of being a teenager a little too seriously. I'm hoping that there are some really fun years to come with them. I hope that I can be a good mom to them. Be strict but also be able to have fun with them. I'm sure I've said this before but we are trying to do the house again this year. Were actually talking to some builders and getting an idea of how much it will cost. So hopefully sometime this year I will be saying the words we have broken ground. Baby Daphne is an absolute joy in our house. I can't believe that she is here still. She's so amazing so beautiful so perfect so fun. We feel so honored to have her with us. The boys all adore her. We are so grateful to heavenly father for giving her to us. We hope that we can be worthy and keep her safe and proper to grow up strong and healthy. Feeling very happy. </div>

We got to go in March and it was a fantastic trip. We got to fly out to San Diego and spend a little bit of alone time together. 24 hours. But it was fun to be spontaneous and go to the concert and feel young and enjoy the music. For such a great band and we had a really fun time together. </span><img alt="" class="en-media" data-mce-src="https://www.evernote.com/shard/s115/res/b9faf643-e92a-40e4-b7c7-5aa0dea6decc/Evernote%20Camera%20Roll%2020140418%20070627.jpg?resizeSmall&width=970" height="655" name="b9faf643-e92a-40e4-b7c7-5aa0dea6decc" src="https://www.evernote.com/shard/s115/res/b9faf643-e92a-40e4-b7c7-5aa0dea6decc/Evernote%20Camera%20Roll%2020140418%20070627.jpg?resizeSmall&width=970" style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; height: auto; line-height: 19.9999942779541px; margin: 0.857412em 0px 1.286em; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;" width="960" />Whitnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06855656778344764944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1305403440847399848.post-78978170959587595402014-01-01T10:58:00.000-08:002014-08-13T10:58:24.722-07:00New Years 2013<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Miss Stacy our favorite preschool teacher always has a fun outing in the fall. We went to Schneff farms in Queen Creek. It is quite an operation. They have lots of really fun things to do. I have not been there for a while and didn't know about this awesome carnival area. They have farms were you can pick food and they have lots of storefronts with food and parties and open parks to hang out in. We really enjoyed it. There were little preschool kids everywhere. It was so fun.</div>

<div class="p1">
we get together for Phyllis's birthday every year. We love her so much she is such a wonderful and unique grandmother. I have so many fun memories of her growing up. She has always been a very vivacious and fun active person. And grandma has always had red hair. When I was little we used to go to her house for sleepovers. It was so fun to play with all of her jewelry and try on her clothes and play with her exercise equipment. We loved her house and her stairs going up and down the stairs and playing on the bars. Her house was kind of like a magical castle to me. With that bedroom upstairs that I almost would always forget about and then find again and I had the balcony with all of the treasures up inside the closet. Things that used to belong to grandpa and her. Everything smelled so wonderful. </div>
<div class="p1">
It is so wonderful that we can all get together as families now. We are so spread out and hardly get to see one another. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We met at a church building and played in the park and visited and then we went inside and ate some potluck dinner and then the kids got on stage and sing some songs for grandma. Grandma has always been a big lover of music. When I was little Allison and I would always perform for her at all of her parties. She was very concerned and wanted to make sure that we knew we were singing. Make sure that we have something prepared. Often though, Allison and I would have to improvise and put something together quickly. We would usually be giggling and laughing and having a good time. Grandma was always so grateful and excited to hear us sing.<a href="http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f229/wowamomof7/2013%20Nov-Dec/ggbday2013-351_zps6e75217d.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f229/wowamomof7/2013%20Nov-Dec/ggbday2013-351_zps6e75217d.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>

Another teenager?. How in the heck did this happen?. I can't believe how fast my boys are growing up. Oscar and Tyler just decided to grow about 6 inches in one year. They are both getting tall and strong and wonderfully handsome. We are so grateful to have them in our home. Happy birthday Oxsar</div>

Halloween is getting funner( is that a word). Although we miss our older boys. Because they had off with their friends. Notice the picture of odd children at the bottom. The picture of Emmett holding Daphne is pretty funny cause it looks like a baby doll. I made wigs for a Daphne and I so that we could be dolls together. We ended up at the trick-or-treat in the end and Oscar helped us pass out candy while I walked around with the little kids. It's always a nice evening. Spooky of course but nice<a href="http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f229/wowamomof7/2013%20July-Oct/halloweenTT-346_zpsfd8c794d.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f229/wowamomof7/2013%20July-Oct/halloweenTT-346_zpsfd8c794d.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>

<div class="p1">
We decided in September this year that we were going to rent a trailer and try camping with a trailer. We were excited to hear that her friends were going to go camping at the same time but they were brand-new friends and we didn't want to intrude on their camping trip. Kind of a long story but it ended up that the place they were going to go wasn't available in so they chose another place and let us know about it and we just happened to get a parking spot next to them. It was pretty serendipitous. So to Fools Hollow Lake we went to meet the Days and have fun with their family. Deborah and Chad have five kids. Two sets of twins. They were so much fun to hang out with and the Nickels came and met us as well and we went to their cabin to watch a football game. The weather was beautiful and we got to be outside. We really loved the camping grounds and need to go back there. Chad and Nathan took all the kids out on kayak rides. The kids tried multiple times to fish off the dock but never caught anything. Oh well maybe next time.</div>
<div class="p1">
BTW we did like the trailer but not hauling it. It made Nate nervous. </div>

So our Lake Powell group decided to not go to the lake this year because the lake was pretty low and things weren't looking good. We decided to take our group vacation to San Diego. Websters, Scotts, Daniels, Gardeners and Shields. We found a great beach house and the weather was lovely. We were able to take our bikes with us and I went on many bike rides with Daphne in tow. We rode up and down the boardwalk and went shopping and ate at wonderful restaurants. We sat around and watched videos and laughed and had a great time. Lots of people played volleyball. We got to go thrift shopping with all the girls. A nice relaxing vacation.<a href="http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f229/wowamomof7/2013%20July-Oct/missionvaca-359_zpse8ab4aee.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f229/wowamomof7/2013%20July-Oct/missionvaca-359_zpse8ab4aee.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>

Just took an opportunity to take pictures of the kids in the backyard. The light was really beautiful outside and what Else could I do. I passed up so many opportunities like these every day. I'm glad everyone's in a while I take those opportunities to take some cute pictures of the kids. I like the picture of Emmett flipping upside down. He's so fun<a href="http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f229/wowamomof7/2013%20July-Oct/backyard-333_zps517febd8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f229/wowamomof7/2013%20July-Oct/backyard-333_zps517febd8.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>

This little boy likes to dress himself. It often involves boots whether they match or not. And I usually have to ask him to take off his costume before he goes to school. He complies. All the boys did that with the costumes and I love that stage. It's hard being a little kid in a house full of big boys though. The boys tend to tease him about it and I have to try and protect him and his youth as much as possible. What a darling little boy.</div>

When Doug started working in St. John's he lived with his grandmother at first her name is Ruth Patterson. She is a lovely woman. We went and stayed at her house with her. The kids slept outside in tents and we had a wonderful time during Fourth of July in St. John's. They know how to do it right. They had a wonderful presentation and a movie and fireworks. It was really fun to have that small town feel. In the morning we got to go to a citywide breakfast and it was really fun. We saw some friends from the valley as well. Herrings. They have lots of family up there as well. I love these pictures because the cousins are all together and they're so young and libations. It is a wonderful sight to see and I got to take some pictures of the kids with absolutely beautiful light.<img border="0" src="http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f229/wowamomof7/2013%20July-Oct/Stjohns13-347web_zpsc00ce310.jpg" height="400" width="266" /><a href="http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f229/wowamomof7/2013%20July-Oct/Stjohns13-339web_zps12a6e7e9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f229/wowamomof7/2013%20July-Oct/Stjohns13-339web_zps12a6e7e9.jpg" height="400" width="266" /></a></div>
