Deal-e-o!

This is one of my latest BARGAIN finds! I was at Savers and saw this Pottery Barn Kids rug. I got it for 4 BUCKS! It was a little dirty, but nothing spot cleaning and a good vacuuming couldn't fix. I looked online and this same rug costs $199 new. I know, "Get out of town!" FOUR bucks, baby!

Baby Blessing

We drove to UT last weekend to visit our family and be there for our baby niece's blessing. It was a short trip, but we were so glad we went. It was nice being there for this special occasion and spending time with both families. Isn't Savannah darling? I was lucky enough to get a little photo shoot with the cutie pie. So fun.

Piggy Tails

I love that A's hair is long enough to put in pig tails! It is so much fun having a little girl!

Here she is soaking up time with Grandpa Frank.

Splish Splash

We have had so much fun with our friends this Spring. Heather & her hubby also have two kids, Cooper & Josie. It's has been so fun hanging out with them. We love it!

This is Mcayden & his buddy, Cooper playing in the pool, in our back yard. Rick hooked up the hose to water inside, so they got to play in really warm water. After dinner & playing for a while, we gave them baths, in the pool! It was perfect. Then into their jammies and ready for bed.

Faith

"Bob" is Mcayden's secruity blanket and he LOVES Bob. He sleeps with Bob, drags Bob around everywhere and plays with Bob.

The other day, Bob had been with us all morning, actively participating in play (as a bridge, a bed, a picnic, and a hideout). When it was time to take a nap, he vanished. We looked EVERYWHERE inside and outside; in the sandbox, in the showers, in the laundry. He had disappeared, but had to be around here somewhere.

The next day, we were driving in the car and Mcayden said something about Bob and I told him I thought he should say a prayer and ask Heavenly Father to help us find him. He proceeded to say a prayer and ask Heavenly Father to find Bob and to help us know where to look.

When we got home, we looked again with no luck. We went to Mcayden's room and after reading a couple of books, Mcayden lay down for his nap and the thought "Look in his toy box" came to my mind. I opened up his toybox and there was Bob! I showed Mcayden and he exclaimed, "Heavenly Father found Bob!!" He was so happy. He said a prayer, " Heavenly Father, Thank You." Then as I was walking out of the room, I heard him say, "Thank you Jesus Christ."

Later in the week, he lost a puzzle piece to his new Cars puzzle. He immediately said a prayer and told me Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ would find the puzzle piece. Sure enough, later that day, the piece was found and he again thanked Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.

I admire the faith he has, It has been a very sweet blessing for me as a mom.

Sleepy Feet

Mcayden is growing up so fast. At his last check-up, he was in the 90-95 percentile for height/weight. He definately got that from his daddy. Thankfully.
He wakes up at night, from time to time, with growing pains. He cries that his legs hurt. Have any of you had that happen with your kids? We feel so bad for him--you can tell he's in a lot of pain. We give him Children's Tylenol and snuggle with him until he's calm and comfortable enough to go back to sleep.

Horse Trunk

For my friends' daughters' birthday, I decoupaged a trunk for her--filled with horses and pictures of her. She loves horses, so along with the trunk, we're going to take her riding next month. A friend of mine is going to trailer a couple of her horses down so we can go riding. The kids will really be excited. Addison saw horses for the first time at another friends' property and just loved them! I can't wait to get some shots of the kids with the horses.
