2nd Potty Chart is Full

Will has put the last sticker on his 2nd potty chart! He is doing great. 

He gets so proud and dances around. :)

Each time he fills up a sheet (that's 25 potty successes) with stickers he gets a new surprise as a reward. I got him a ball and cones... we are gonna use them tomorrow night for family kick ball and s'mores. :) But Will is doing so well going potty!

Visiting with Missy

Mythanne and Ryder are here visiting from Minnesota!

Will and Ryder haven't seen each other in a while, but the moment we got to Lana's they ran around together  and were the best of friends! They were shooting "animals" with their pretend guns.

Will found a bird feather. Ryder is holding his hand out cause he has a band-aid on it. Will got cut on his hand earlier and wanted a band-aid... so Ryder wanted a band-aid too, and is babying his hand. It was so funny. 

I was totally shocked to see that Ryder's shirt said "Only Child Expiring Jan. 2014". I am super excited for Missy and Jace. That is such awesome news and such a cute way to spread the news.

Will and Ryder are tip toeing in the garage to hunt for snakes. They're whispering, "Tip toe, tip toe." Haha.

I told them to march into the backyard where we can see them. Then they started walking around back saying, "march, march, march."

The boys riding around the basketball court on the RZR. I love this picture. :)

Emmy on the wiggle car.

Ryder and his uncles swinging together... awe so cute. What's even more cute, is Riley and Kole have matching outfits. LOL.

The twins wanted to swing with them too. :)

Missy is holding her new niece, Harper. And I can't get over how cute she is! 

Me, Kelle, Shannon, Missy, Harper, and Katie.

Ryder and Will played together until 11pm! They were sooo tired. Missy and Ryder are leaving early tomorrow morning. It's sad to say goodbye but they'll be back in July, which is awesome! :)

A Makeup Mess

So Emmy was sitting on the counter next to me while I was putting on my makeup... She threw my powder on the ground, it busted open and made a big mess. I didn't realize I put my mascara down next to Emmy to clean up the mess on the floor.

When I looked up, she had mascara all over her face and hands.

Fernie & Isamar's Special Day

Our friends, Fernando and Isamar, received their temple endowments today at the Brigham City Temple. 

Brandon works with Fernie at the dairy. He and Isamar were baptized in 2011. Fernando asked Brandon to baptize him, which was really cool.

LOL... Fernando was flexing his muscles for the camera, but I wasn't fast enough to catch it. We love these guys. We've gotten close to them over the past 3 years. Our Willie and their little boy are best friends.

Brandon & Me, Fernando & Isamar, Andrea & Ron

It's awesome seeing people we love make covenants with the Lord. I'm so happy they will have the blessings of the temple in their lives.

Ron was super nice and bought us all dinner at Maddox afterwards. We're glad we could share Fernando & Isamar's special day with them.

My Newest Nephew, Ezra

Jeremy and Rhiannon's first baby was born today at 4:18pm... Ezra Bright Saxey. He weighed 5 lbs 13 oz.

Jeremy (my brother in Arizona) sent me these pics from his phone, and first thing I noticed that he has the Saxey chin (with a dimple in it). What a stud!

Ezra was named after the Mormon prophet Ezra Taft Benson... Jeremy said they really liked the name. This little guy will be the first boy to carry on the Saxey name in our family... way cool. Jer & Rhi have been married for 10 years or more, and have hoped for a baby for awhile now... little Ezra is finally here. He is such a blessing to them and to the rest of us. 

Congrats Jeremy and Rhiannon.

Pineview Reservoir

I took the kids to the beach (Pineview Reservoir). We haven't swam together for awhile. Brandon is stuck at work bailing grass for awhile and will meet us here later. :)

All the kids got right in the water and got used to it pretty quickly. It was a perfect day... 85º and windy to keep us cool.

The twins loved playing on the beach. The waves would reach their feet... they'd throw rocks and wet sand.

Will fell off the tube and went under the water. It scared him a little and he wanted to sit on the beach.

Emmy always puts on everyone's shoes at home. She found Will's shoes this time and is walking around the beach.

We went for a walk along the beach.

When we got back, Will ran back and forth through the water as fast as he could.

Abbee and Emmy hop over the waves.

Paisley just had a meltdown. She is SOOO tired and didn't get a nap today. She rested here for a while.

Kalyssa buried her toes in the sand.

Baylee buried Emmy's toes in the sand...

She really liked it.

It is so beautiful here!

Kalyssa laid with Piasley and made her laugh.

Bay and Me

Emmy ran to Abbee to float on the tube with her.

Paisley popped right up again when she saw Daddy was here!

Brandon buried Paisley and now both of the twins are falling over.

I took the twins with me to pick up a couple pizzas from Eats of Eden. Neither of them have slept for even 10 minutes today and it's now 6:30 pm! It only took them 3 minutes to fall asleep once I started driving. We ate pizza on the beach them headed home about 8 o'clock. :) Willie and the twins are so tired.
