HaPpInEss

Wow.. I'm behind on my blogging/journal. I have missed it. I'm starting back up, so I don't forget the fun times and memories in our families life. Life gets crazy with these boys, but I wouldn't want it any other way.

 I love number #14. Bridger started B-Ball. He is pretty excited.  He has been swinging hard and running hard.
 We have been having so much fun having Dawn and the girls in town. I had to take this picture of all of the cousins enjoying the Barbie movie:)
 We have enjoyed spending more time with Grandma Shari. She lives closer now, so we can spend more time with her. SIdenote: Fost had to get his hair chopped off because he kept pulling his hair out. He pulled a huge chunk out at church in his class. He shocked his whole class with a handful of hair in his hand:) THis is Foster though. He surprises us everyday with the things he does. He makes life so fun, never boring:)
 Brody does a good blue steel look.
 Brielle was so happy she got this sweet new Barbie movie for her 8th Birthday!
 My Mom is such a supportive Grandma. She came to Bridger's Preschool Graduation. Bridger is in love with his Wyoming Grandma:)

 I'm so thankful I"m married to my Best Friend. He makes me quite happy.
 I'm thankful for such a fun and supportive mom.
 I'm almost in my 30's. It seems so weird to me. I feel like I just graduated from high school. I kind of like it though because I feel like the older I get the more I realize life is about family and bettering yourself everyday. It's not about the Worldly things that are so easy to get caught up in. I have some wrinkles, gray hair, and my body doesn't look the same after having 3 kids.. but that's ok. My goal this year is to be a great mom, wife, friend, daughter, and sister. 
 This is my favorite picture of the year.. Bridger as a sausage for his school program! I'm still laughing about how cute this kid is.
 Bridger and Foster can't get enough of their Bro Brody.. He makes us all happy!



 Foster doing crazy moves at the playground.. Everyday he looks for something crazy to try.. I worry daily. He knows how to ride a 2 wheeler now.. He tries jumps and runs into things daily with his bike.
 This kid just makes me happy! He is pretty much always happy. He likes to eat dirt and rocks.
 He took 4 steps at 9 months old! He is a momma's boy. I secretly like it....
 I love getting my boys to sleep on bike rides.

Bridger couldn't be happier to start Kindergarten this next fall. He got into the Spanish immersion program. He is such a good kid. He reminds me daily that I need to keep the spirit in my heart and to stay happy and not get angry. I'm happy I have this sweet kid.
Life is good. I really wouldn't want to be doing anything else. I'm sure I ended up with 3 boys from all the prayers I had as a kid.. Praying and asking every Christmas for a brother. It's funny how Heavenly Father answers your prayers...

BoYs!

Oh how i love these boys..



i laugh a lot about how these 3 boys are quite different from each other.
I wanted to remember some of the things they have said or done...




Bridger is our sensitive soul..
He is into organizing right now.
He spends hours in his room organizing and coloring pictures to hang on his walls.
He set up a rope system in his room. It goes from his bed across the wall. He pulls the rope and it shuts his door!
-
Mike lays everynight with the boys and tells them stories.
He tells them a scripture story, and then a ranch story from his childhood.
The boys look forward to this everynight!
The other night Mike was talking to Bridger about Eternal families and how he can have his own family some day and get married in the Temple.
Bridger was quiet and started crying....
Mike asked what was wrong, and Bridger said,
"I dont ever want to get married Dad because then i wouldn't be able to live with you and mom anymore."
-
Mike and I went Black Friday shopping last Friday in the early morn.
Mike's Dad was staying at our house so we new the boys could just go wake him up and he could be with them.
Well the boys woke up and were terrified that they were left all alone in our house, and they didn't see Grandpa Siemon sleeping.
The boys ran through the house and opened our garage and searched outside.
All while Papa Siemon was snoring away.
Bridger found pictures of us and gathered them up and put them in his room.
Bridger told us that he was really scared and that he had a feeling to say a prayer.
He went into our room and said a prayer to help him find his MOm and Dad.
Just then Papa woke up and came and found the boys praying together on our bed.
THat really touched me that Bridger thought to pray and that His prayer was answered right away!
-
He loves to sing "It's good Mood Food".. From the Arby's commercial.

AAAhh our Foster

This is our spunky kid for sure!
-
He got staples put into his head.. He took his mattress off of his box spring, and then jumped off Bridger's bed and landed right on his head on his box spring. He got a huge cut on his head and it bled like crazy. I rushed him to the doc and he was a pretty tough kid.
-
He tells amazing, crazy stories.
-
like this one: One day i went to the woods and found a Beaver.. I smelled the beaver and he smelled sooooo good!
-
We were sitting at the dinner table last night and he said.
My favorite color is S***.
(Now mike and I dont use that word, but we believe he got it from the movie Sandlot(or possibly his Grandpa:)
(Mike and I eye's popped out of our heads when we heard that, but we just quickly changed the subject and he hasn't said the S word again..
-
Foster is always moving.. He doesn't stop.. He is constantly thinking of crazy things to do.
-
He does love to cuddle and gives good smooches..
-
He remembers to say Please and thank you most the time.
-
He loves Bacon
-
He constantly is saying: Pop that cage open like a soda can!


OOOhhh and then there is my sweet baby that melts my heart.

I couldn't imagine this baby ever acting up and talking back to me..

but i do know that one day it will happen.

i am loving this time with him now.

He doesn't move yet, he just smiles and grabs everything that comes his way.

He is spoiled and is held most of the time.

I like it..

i love squeezing his chubbiness.

(i will update your stats soon Brody. i haven't forgotton about you.. i'm just holding you constantly and chasing your crazy brothers all day..)

It gets us in the mood for Halloween every year though!!

We had alot of fun this year.

On Halloween night we went to our good friends house, The Abadian's.

It was such a fun night, and perfect weather!

The Witch surprised us this year..

She flew her broom from Wyoming.

The boys were a little afraid, but they thought she was so cool.

Vi Vi was terrified of this scary witch.

The witch brought some yummy candy and left us with a good CACKLE.
