Tayden's Surprise to Us..

Tayden went over to G-ma Hansen's house to have a sleep over. She was so excited cause she was going to learn how to cook some things from her cook book. Tayden wanted to make her family dinner, so G-ma took her to the grocery store to get some items to make. We got a phone call telling us to be to G-ma's house at 5:00 on Saturday for a surprise. Tayden's surprise was she made us this dinner all by herself. She decorated the table so cute. She colored place settings w/ our names letting us know where to sit. The dinner was so good, she did such a great job. We sure do love her. She is such a sweetheart to us. She is always wanting to do things for us.

Tayden's Autograph Party..

We got to the college & there were a couple of posters w/ Passage to Zarahemla pictures & it sayin that Tayden was autograph signing w/ the DVD's. We got to the bookstore & their were some people waiting for Tayden's autograph! Tayden was so excited & she sat at the table & started signing w/ Cutler standing on the side of her. We told people that Cutler was her bodyguard. I thought we would just have family & friends come to the bookstore but we had people I didn't know come. We had the parents & my happy brother Jordan & her cousin Kenadee. My dad did such a cute job putting this together. He had cookies on the side & he had the T.V. w/ Tayden on it. He ordered 27 DVD's & he sold out of the movie, so Tayden did alot of signing. This was a fun experience for Tayden. Thank You Dad! You are such a sweet G-pa..

Our Little Movie Star...

Tayden when she was in kindergarten was picked to play in the movie "Passage to Zarahemla". She was so excited to play as Kerra McConnell the main actress as a child in some childhood memories. The movie came to theaters in October & we all went to the movies. When the movie was over we all stood up & cheered. We walked out & a girl came up to Tayden & said she was visiting her G-ma & had just finished reading the book. When she found out it was coming to a movie, she was so excited to come & see it. She turned to Tayden & told her the bonus is she gets to meet Tayden who played Kerra as a child. She asked Tayden for her autograph. A few others around heard & asked for her autograph. After that she told me" Mom this was the best day". The movie came out on DVD last tuesday & her G-pa Judd called her & asked her if she wanted to come to the Dixie College Bookstore. He told her they will be selling the movie & wanted her to come on Wed 11th from 1-3:00 p.m. to give her autograph on the movies that were being sold. She thinks this will be so fun, she is so excited. It is a good PG-13 movie but it has a theatrical version & less intense family version. So, if you want to buy the movie go & get it at the college & have Tayden sign it. She would love that. Check out the movie www.passagetozarahemla.com..

Spending day in New Harmony..

We went & visited G-pa & Nana Hansen. The kids were so excited to go & get to feed the horses. They have 5 dogs. They have 3 that live in the house & Ryker was so excited, we had never heard the sounds that were coming out of his mouth. He was breathing so hard at the dogs. He just kept following each one everywhere in the house. Ryker was so tired an hour later from being so excited. It was fun going up to New Harmony visiting G-pa & Nana.

Summer Days at the pool...

This week I decided to take the kids swimming because I didn't want to be home. I'm not ready to hear "Mom I'm Bored". So we've gone to the Washington Rec Center a couple of times & it's a fun place until a kid poops in the pool. You have to get out for a hour & longer till it's ready, I was so mad. Cause the kids start asking you every second when can we get into the pool. I wanted to leave but the kids just wanted to stay. We also went to my brothers pool at his place if the Rec Center was busy. I love taking Ryker to the pool. He has got so much energy, he wears me out. He sleeps sooo good in the night, when he spends his day in the sun. So my plan is to have him play outside alot this summer, so I can get some sleep.

Ryker's 1st B-day! & Cutler's Graduation!

It was Ryker's First Birthday & Cutler's graduation on the same day. Cutler will be going to kindergarten, now. I think he looks to small to be going to school. After Cutler's graduation, we went to the water park on Main St. w/ cousins. I attached a balloon to Ryker for his b-day. It was so busy at the place that I could see everywhere Ryker was at w/ the balloon. He didn't like the water to much but he followed these dogs everywhere. We had a b-day party for Ryker w/ family & friends. He had a pizza party & his own b-day cake & he loved it. We had a fun day w/ Cutler & Ryker's big day. Ryker had a fun b-day w/ all that sugar he ate. Happy First B-day Ryker!

My cousin Tiffany came down to St.George to visit. She is doing photography & she does the cutest pictures. I wanted her to take some pictures of Ryker cause he turned one & she did a really good job. I love this picture of Ryker & Khloee( cousin).
