Wolf

Peyton got his Wolf.

He worked really hard, he made us

dinner and cleaned it up and lot's of other things.

He did really well pinning it on my shirt.

Congrats buddy.

They did a paper airplane competition.

Peytons made it the farthest!

OUCHIE

Why is worse when your daughter

gets hurt. Berklie and Stockton were

jumping on the bed...I know I know and

then BAM. She did a face plant into the wood beam

on the boys bunk beds.

She and I were covered in blood, but I was

more worried about her passing out. All was ok and

now we just have a good looking Avatar nose

for a while. Darn it!!

It does look better today, but still very swollen.

Skee and I were joking that for her 16th birthday she

won't be getting a car, she'll be getting a nose job!!

It's hard to tell, but it is really swollen under her eyes

and is almost flat. Poor girl.

I guess I always said it would be Berklie that would

get hurt when my boys are such dare devils!!

Happy Birthday Easton

4 years ago today my 3rd little boy

was born. It was an experience we will never forget.

It was fast, scary and totally natural.

Easton was 9 days early and he thought when he was

ready, it was time.

I contracted all evening got up plenty thru the night and

"walked it out" when finally Skee convinced me to pack my bags

call my sister and head out.

We got in the car, ran many stop lights and made it

in what felt like a 10 hour car ride to Davis Hospital.

I was wheeled into my room stripped down and collapsed

on the bed. The nurse had to take over Skee's role as

"coach" to MAKE me breath when the Dr rushed in the room

and......Easton South Fox was born.

Easton was 6lbs 13oz 19 inches long

1 year old

2 years old

3 years old

and my handsome 4 year old little boy.

We had to pull over and take some pictures at the ball

field, baseball is his new passion. It's his B-Day so

the request was granted.

We love you buddy and hope you have a

GREAT birthday.

Easton turns 4!!

I really can not believe that Easton is 4.

It is just crazy, I think about when he was born

and it feels like just yesterday!

He scored BIG time.

He couldn't really make up his mind what he wanted

to after having 2 older boys I had to use

my brain.

It looks like Christmas morning

I took him to Walmart and let him pick

something out, and since it was crappy weather

he picked puddle jumpers.

The boys were so cute, Easton was asleep

when the boys went to school so when they each

got home they made a HUGE deal about

how special today was and ran to see all his

unopened presents.

He got a UTES football outfit!

A personlized EASTON baseball bag with

Easton bat and gloves.

A Basketball outfit complete with the shoes

He was so excited to pick out the 4 candles

for the cake.

We love you buddy and we are so happy

you are in our family.

You are such a blessing in our lives, I never go an hour

without hearing Mom I love you.

Your brothers and sister adore you as well,

and love to be around you.

Thanks Gpa ma B and Gpa ma F for

coming over for cake.

Mothers Day

I love Mother's Day, I only wish it was on a Saturday...

I really wanted breakfast in bed, but it was fast

Sunday so I settled for sleeping in till 8 and

scrambling, without yelling to get the kids ready for church.

It was an all around good day, I LOVE my kids.

I can't believe how fast they are growing. I remember

2 yrs ago we blessed Berklie on Mother's Day.

After church we came home the kids gave

me all the wonderful things they made...They were

each so proud that they were able to keep

their gift a secret.

We headed to the Bhams, where I made a video

of the past year, I have to admit it was a tear jerker,

but it was fun to see all the kids laughing and remembering

the fun things we have done as a family.

I LOVE these woman (Kimber isn't here but I love her too)

They are such great examples to me. I know that we

may not always see eye to eye, but that

is why it works so well. Each of us have our own

personality. Thanks for being such Awesome sisters.

We played outside and chatted, then headed to the Fox's

I LOVE these sisters TOO.

I'm glad I can say they are my sisters, we fight.

laugh, cry and make up.

My mother in law made this table just for us, we

were waited on and got to sit and enjoy dinner

with no interruptions from the kids.

After dinner Skee took a bunch of the kids

on a hike.

What a GREAT day.

Not even that I got presents and showered with love,

but just that my kids are starting to appreciate

the little things I do and that they can acknowledge

it on their own.

Motherhood is the hardest, yet most rewarding

thing I have ever done and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Play Ball

The boys have been doing really well at baseball,

but they think they need to hit pop flies so

Skee got the Tee out and made them hit into the net.

They had a lot of fun.

Strike a pose....

But she does have a mean little swing.

Peyton has a habit of golfing it. We keep trying

to tell him a level swing is a base hit a pop fly is an out!!

Stockton taking his turn

Easton is getting excited for his games to start!!

Soccer comes to an end...

Easton and the black spiders finished up their

season Saturday morning.

Easton has turned into a different kid.

He made at least 4 goals and jumped up

when he was knocked down.

We love Coach Fox

Max, Easton, Lauren and Austin

We were missing 2 members of the Black Spiders.

Nick also got a medal, they were all so proud!!

We love you Easton you did such a good job.

Thanks Gma B for coming to support Easton.

More Baseball

We had another baseball game yesterday...in the rain.

But the kids did very well and had lots of fun.

Peyton had his 1st HOMERUN!!

He had such a Awesome hit and was rounding 3rd

before they got the ball in-field.

The boys had fun playing SS and Pitcher.

Stockton is starting to hit better and better

every game. He struck out and then hit a single.

Stockton got to play catcher (scary) but he liked it.

The weather has been pretty crappy with rain

and snow canceling the boys soccer games. Hopefully

mother nature will realize it is Spring and send

us some good outdoor sports weather.

Barnes Park

We went for a Sunday picnic at Barnes Park

in Kaysville. The kids had fun feeding the ducks.

It's kind of a good thing they are gated in or they would

attack anyone with bread.

Easton said "Hey mom look that one has a mohawk like me"

Berklie was so excited that she could see the ducks

she would try to throw the bread over the fence, but

it didn't quite make it over, then she would pick it up and

try again until she finally stuck her hand thru to drop the bread.

The cutest baby duckies with their really protective

Mommy. The Seagulls would try to get by the babies and

she would try to bite them.

Kirra, Quincie and Berklie going to feed more ducks.

She finally got the hang of it. When she first saw the

geese she freaked out and ran away, but then realized

the fence was saving her.

A fun activity we will be doing more of this summer.

Delle

We took advantage of the warm weather and

headed to Delle for some riding with the Crocketts.

We have always parked by this coral, but have never seen

animals so the kids were excited to see horses.

The kiddos ready to hit the bikes.

It was really muddy from all the rain

the past week, so you can imagine how much

fun the kids (and husbands) had getting as muddy

as they could.

Stockton is getting really good

and daring on his 4 wheeler, it's almost

time for him to try the motorcycle.

The gang.

Some of our tracks in the mud.

Peyton would get going and yell, "I can't turn"

with all of the mud on the tires no wonder.

My rancher had no problems getting us around

and I stayed pretty clean too.

The boys drove by this pond until they couldn't take it

anymore and HAD to go right thru it.

And then Skee followed.

Good thing the kids had goggles on.

Skee's shirt was white.

But they sure did have fun.

Kyle, Nick, Skee and Stockton found a hill with

water at the bottom...that didn't stop them

even when they almost collided (because they couldn't

stop) they were all soaking wet, time to go home.

It might take 2 times to the car wash to

clean off the bikes, but it sure was worth it.
