Blessed

Love having this new sweet baby in our family. We have been so blessed to have such happy healthy babies and Emmy has been no different. Treyden, Kenlee, and Indie love her so much and some times a little to much. I have had to rescue her from Indie twice who thinks she is big enough to carry her around and in all honesty wasn't doing to bad of a job of it. Treyden was teaching her about the scriptures yesterday and about where she came from and Kenlee loves to read to her. She is a spoiled baby. Mitch and I are of course smitten. It is amazing how quickly a newborn can erase the memories of horrible pregnancies and make you want a million more.

Emmy

EMMY MAE SIMMONS

September 6, 2011
8lbs 1oz 21 in

Since last time (in no particular order)

1. Simmons Reunion at Rigby Lake






2. Adams Reunion in Island Park


Don't know what bite Indie but she looked like Quazimodo for a couple of days.


3. School started. (mixed emotions for me)
- Treyden - kindergarten
- Kenlee - preschool




4. Indie stayed up late due to the fact that Kenlee wouldn't fall asleep so she got to help us make applesauce.

5. And last but not least Treyden brought this little guy home from a neighbors house. Nasty. He let it go in our garden so it could eat the bugs. Thanks.

Summer Afternoon

Loved this afternoon. While Indie was sleeping I sat on my back porch and watched Treyden and Kenlee play in the water. Loved it!

Fourth of July

For the Fourth this year we went up to Pasa La Coma Girls camp were I use to go to camp every year and roasted hot dogs and let the kids play around. There is a creek there with a swing over it and the kids Trey had a blast on it. That night we decided to skip the crowds and do our own tiny firework show. It was a hit! It was relaxed and fun and we may just do it every year!

Boise

l


Nick and Ashley blessed their baby in Boise a couple of weeks ago so we were able to go to there and spend some time with them. My whole family was able to come so we got a few family pictures. Way difficult with that many kids. We had a great time together and the kids got along really well.
We stopped at Shoshone Falls on the way home. It was incredible the amount of water going over the falls. We were there last year around the same time and got pictures so here is so you can compare. The bottom one was last year.

Getting back on the horse

I decided it was time to get back on the blogging horse and start updating again. I took quite a long break but I am going to do better. Promise. Alot has happened but I am lacking in the picture department because in case you hadn't heard I am pregnant with baby #4. And its another.................... GIRL!!!!! I will admit I was a little disappointed (I really want Treyden to have a brother) but am getting excited for all of the cute baby girl stuff.


My sister Ashley had her new baby - Beckam Ridge. He is so cute and cuddly and I hate that she lives in Boise. I could hold and cuddle him all day.

Kenlee turned 4 and she was so excited. She had a friend party and had a BLAST. We had a pinata, a few games, presents and cupcakes. So much fun. She is growing up to darn fast I tell ya.
The Easter bunny brought my kids jammies, sun glasses and peeps. It was almost better than Christmas. Seriously they were so excited.
Treyden graduates from preschool tonight. He has loved it and his teacher Mrs. Long is the best. Next year kindergarten and I will admit I am freaking out a little bit. When did I get old enough to have four kids and a kindergartner. Yikes!!!
Plenty more has been going on. T-ball has started and Kenlee is playing this year and Mitch is helping coach her team. Treyden is excited to be playing again and excited that the weather is warming up. The kids spend all the time outside that they can and so do I. Kenlee and I love looking and all of our plants for the leaves and blossoms starting to show.
Mitch and his dad have gotten a crazy idea in their heads to make fish pond at his dads farm so he has been working on that a little bit and the kids are having fun playing on the farm.
I have enjoyed working in my flower beds and I am ready to get my photography business going in full swing and since the weather is finally warming up I am going to start booking sessions. Other than that it is life as usual and we are lovin it.
