"MOM, THAT GIVES ME A HEADACHE WHEN YOU SAY THAT."

Isaac's reply when I was trying to explain why he had to eat his vegetables so he can grow healthy and strong!

UTAH TRIP!!!!!!
We had so much fun with our Ferrin family. We had a very busy 10 days! A viewing and funeral for one of John's favorite uncles, 2 birthday parties and a baptism! We loved it all!!

HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY MY ISAAC!


Isaac had a double b-day party with his cousin Ethan who is 9 days older. Can you tell what the theme is?

THE WEB BLASTER! AWESOME!

Easton with his Papa! He loves him so much. He wanted to be with him the whole time!

John's sister Sabrina(far right)planned an elaborate 60th b-day party for Dad Ferrin and we executed it! It turned out amazing!

Sorry it's side ways!

These were 2 of the 6 airplane cakes we decorated!


John and his brother and sisters!

Cute Easton! He love being in Papa's tree!

FAMILY VACATION ON THE WAY TO UTAH!
We had so much fun being with our daddy! I decided I wanted to go on a family vacation since we have never done one. So instead of driving to Disney Land which we couldn't afford; we stopped at a hotel in Beaver(half way to Ogden) and then drove to "mini Disney Land" the next day. That is what we called Lagoon, because Isaac kept saying he really wanted to go to Disney Land and he didn't know the difference. It was such a fun time with just our little family! We went swimming in the hotel right when we got there and then ate dinner.

At the restaraunt near our hotel.


Eating ice cream in the hotel room right before bed! TRUE VACATION!

LAGOON!!!!!

Isaac rode on every ride he was allowed! He was so brave! We had so much fun! I had as much fun on the rides as he did! Easton wasn't so sure of some of them but he had fun too!

COTTON CANDY! GOTTA LOVE IT!

UPDATE ON THE BOYS! (until I can find my battery charger to upload my pictures of Isaac's birthday and our trip to Utah!)

ISAAC-
I can't believe I have a 4 year old. It is so fun! I love 4 year olds! He is just soaking in life. He wants to learn everything and remembers things so well. I had 2 firsts recently with Isaac. He gave his first talk in primary, but I couldn't hear it because I was teaching in Relief Society. John helped him and told me that at first he whispered like John was and when he told him louder he yelled the rest of the talk, but said it very clearly and word for word. He loved it! As you can imagine. The second thing is that for the first time I had a child in primary go up in Sacrament meeting and sing for mother's day. I have to say I cried. I couldn't believe my little boy was up there singing without fear " Mother I love you, mother I do!" It was a big moment for me.
So here are a few funny things Isaac has said lately........

John and I were talking to him and kind of joking with each other and he goes " You people are always so funny!" We just about died!
Then he wanted me to velcro his Woody dress up together at the back of his neck and he says " Hey mom, can you vel the cro for me?" It took me a while to figure that one out.

EASTON-
My Easton is out of this world cute and sweet! He is talking so much but all his words are so funny and cute! He loves being outside. He begs for it all day! He loves anything with wheels.... bikes, scooters, little toy cars, motorcycles, grandma's walker, my hair cart, his push toys and trucks. He loves to be moving.
Everything he says has an "oooo" on the end. ie....

wadoo (water)
tractoo (tractor or truck)
cycoo (cycle for motorcycle)
stickoo (sticker)
scootoo (scooter)

meeeowk (milk, go figure)
meeeatt ( uncle Matt)

He even has said a few prayers with help and will try to copy the words.
Every day is such a joy. The boys get along so well together and play so good together. They always snuggle each other for a while when they wake up and kiss each other at night before they go to bed. I couldn't ask for more wonderful children or a more wonderful time of life!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!

My mother feels like a warm blanket on a cold day. My mother tastes like a warm chocolate chip cookie after school. My mother sounds like singing birds on a spring morning. My mother smells like fresh homemade bread right out of the oven. My mother looks like unconditional love waiting to encircle me in a long hug.

I love you mom! Could any girl ever ask to be born to a better, more unselfish, charitable woman? NEVER!!!!! I am blessed beyond words! If I can aspire to be the kind of mother you are my children will rise up and call me blessed!

MORE PICTURES OF OUR TRIP!
This was the funnest day I have had in my life! All 7 of my sisters and our mom went to Tucson(where Callie lives) and went wedding dress shopping for Dena. Not only did we come home with the dress we laughed until I thought my face and gut were going to split! Cara came out of her mother of two children 13 months apart shell and did cartwheels through parking lots and crazy dances in the restaurant. Every one asked us if we were sisters or just friends and then would congratulate my mom! We ate at the Olive Garden and had icecream at 31 Flavors and just soaked eachother up!


Aren't they all so beautiful! I love them all!!!!

Easton loves to climb all the way up my body like this! It is histerical!



Leah was down visiting with me and she told me I don't take enough pictures with my boys so we had a picture fest. I love that girl!!!!!! I wish I would've gotten some pictures of her adoreable little girls!



This was literally Eason's favorite place to be. He was constantly begging everyone for "a wiiiiiiide" ( a ride)! Who ever took him was his best friend!

Can you believe this place. That is wheat in the fields and the view from my parents back yard! I love it!

Sick little boy! He got some bad fever and croopy cough!

Cara's little boy Nathan! So cute!

My baby sister Lela and Isaac painting!

With Grandma and Charlotte on the 4-wheeler!

In the first 2 hrs of being home Easotn fell head firstl of the trampoline and split his head open. I tried to get a picture of him all bloody because there was alot of blood. But my mom wouldn't let me. We should've taken him to get stiches but we just used super glue instead. It's going ot be a cool scar!

All the kids in the bath!


What wonderful memories we made. All those people are so dear to me! I am grateful for the time to go home and fill up! I love you all so much!

HOME IN AZ!!!!!!
I just had the most glorious stay with my family!!! Every second was Heaven (not easy but still Heaven)! Several months ago my mom asked me if I would re-do her basement. So I have been collecting things here in Vegas and then stuffed them all in suitcases to fly down. I am going to go way into details for myself because this was alot of work and I want to remember what I did. I loved it by the way! It was one of the funnest things I've done! I love to decorate. So here are BEFORE AND AFTER pictures.




BEFORE!

AFTER!

We found these pictures and then the frames seperate! Aren't they gorgeous?

BEFORE!

AFTER! This is my favorite wall!

I got the shelf and vace at a yard sale for $1 each and then bought the other things on sale really cheap.


I bought these curtains at K-mart for $5 a piece and then we sewed the yellow ribbon on it!!!!


It just turned out so refreshing and happy and peaceful! I love yellow! And chair railing is my favorite! I was so glad I got to do it! I love to make things beautiful!


Right when we got there my dad flooded the yard. I did this growing up only no boogy boards. The kids loved it!



THere are many more pictures of the trip to come, but I am going to go be with my Johnny who I missed so much!
