Ah...so these are the necessities of a 5 yr old...

So my little 5 yr old Reece has a purse or should I say 15 purses. This week it's a pink short strap with silver sparkles. Well Reece likes to take her purse with her wherever we go which is understandable.. I mean I take my purse wherever I go right? But where ever it is we go I become the caretaker of it..as she put it once after it had gotten lost " It's your fault mom! Your supposed to take care of it!" which I agree since I am the adult and she the preschooler. To get to the point, as I was wiping down the walls this morning I spotted it...sitting there bursting at the seams with her treasures and my curiosity as to what was in her precious purse got the better of me. Just what ARE the necessities of a sweet little 15 year 5 year old girl? So here it is...

Clean House!!

    I woke up today to a CLEAN house!!!! Chad got up before me and he had the kids ( and himself) clean everything from top to bottom! Isn't that the sweetest thing...I'm so lucky! Chad always helps around the house... on account that he's always so bored.;) I also have to say that Skye my oldest is always helping me I don't know what I would do without her...and Paden loves to help me with Camryn she asks me everyday if she can stay home from school and help watch her. Ryden just loves having a baby here when we would be at my moms he would always ask "can we take that baby home?" he's so sweet and he and Jayden just love each other! Jayden always cuddles up with him and puts his arms around her and Ryden just smiles from ear to ear. They play so well together. Reece just got back from spending the night at Bentleys and she had a really good time...Scott and Chelsee are so great! They love children and always invite mine over so thank-you guys! She also got to spend the night at Haylees' the other day and go to dance class with her! The kids are happy to be back because they get to see their cousins a lot...they just don't get to see their Show Low cousins as much or their cousins that live VERY far now in Oregon...this especially stinks for Ryden because these are all his boy cousins (except for Taylor and Brody of course who he LOVES!) He misses them and always talks about them.( His best friends he says) My next post I'm going to write about Utah and the memories we had there. We really made some good friends and I miss them. Here are some more cousin pics...just a warning there WILL be a lot of these!!

Babysitting!!

      I get to babysit Camryn 3 or 4 days every week! She is such a sweet good baby..she never cries and is always smiling!! I also have been getting to babysit for some of my other brothers and sisters kids and I'm loving it and so are my kids. They LOVE having their cousins come over and I wish they would bring them over more often. They are all so beautiful and we like getting to know them better and them us.

(seven are missing)

     O.K so I just posted my first post and does anyone else have trouble with laying out the pics and putting the words where you want??? Because I sure do how come I can't just put them where I want?! Annoying. Also I'm looking around at my house and have a question: is it possible for your kids to turn your house into a dump within an hour? The answer is YES! Why do I even bother picking it up in the first place?

      Chad just left to tuscon to fight in rage in the cage...I'm a little nervous! I hope he does well and doesn't get hurt, although I'm happy he's finally getting to do something he's always wanted to do. Chad has so many talents and hobbies but doesn't ever get to do any of them so I'm proud of you Chad for training so hard and doing it!!

Lawlor Easter party

I've been trying to think of what to put in my first post and i decided on Easter since we just celebrated it. We had the lawor easter party at Ryan and Julies house and it was very fun. It was nice seeing all the aunts, uncles cousins and second cousins....gosh everyone is getting so old I can't believe it! There are so many kids! And not even everyone was there.....I have 63 first cousins and how many second cousins are there ..like 144 WOW!! That is awesome and everyones kids are so cute.It's fun just watcing them all. My kids had such a fun time with everyone and I had a good time visiting..I didn't get to say hi to everyone though....(only downside of having such a huge family.) It reminds me of when we were young with the cousins fun and CRAZY times! I have a group picture of all of the cousins in front of our house on Date I need to find it and post it. In addition to the hunt we celebrated my Grandma and Grandpas 65th anniversary...double WOW! They are awesome people. We also celebrated Makaylas' birthday...fun day!
