Some of Harpers first steps

Harper Kate Turns 1!!

The kids were a little bummed when I told them no they couldn't stay home from school just because it was Harper's Birthday.  Steve had the day off and we hung out during the day and once the kids got home we went and got dinner and ate it at a park and then came home and ate cake.  Harper is now 19 lbs and 29 inches with 4 teeth. she crawls funny and stands up holding on to things.  She likes to wake up around 10 and party till midnight or later!!! she says mama, dada. 

I love my little baby Harper Ivy Kate!

Yep this is where she naps....

Harper likes to pick on Rocky, they are buds!

East Idaho Fair

We went to the fair with our good friends the Olson's. They have mini horses that they had there earlier in the week and showed them.  The food was sooo good!

My favorite was the chocolate dipped cheesecake!! Not a very good pic...

Reese is my horse lover!  she loved the pony rides and petting all the horses!

Tori was afraid on here and kept having this nervous look on her face....She told me she felt like her boots were falling off.

Feeding the goats

This horse was named Spaz....we thought Sydney should have her picture taking next to it...

We let the kids pick one souvenir so Steven picked a toy bull and Reese picked this horse .  She now sleeps with it every night.  Sydney and Tori picked kettle corn!

Back to school Sept 2nd 2014

They came home and said they had a great day!  Tori was a little scared about going all day, so I went and had lunch with her.  Steve took a few vacation days so it was helpful having him around. 

We had a "back to school fashion show" and we took pics on my phone and later I found Sydney had made this.....she is a little into her self.....like someone else I know hehe!

Dad went and had lunch with Tori a few days later

I  made the kids a chocolate cake for after dinner on the first day.

                                    Reese and Harper having fun while the kids were gone.

Last month of summer !

Well August we layed pretty low.  Didnt do a whole lot other than tried to make it through each day.  The kids, baby, house , and puppy have kept me pretty  busy and I rarely had any energy left for much else.

Found this at Walmart and had to buy it :)

This guy so cute and such a pain at the same time!  

The only way I was able to get dinner made some nights was to strap this girl on and bounce her to sleep on me for a quick nap.

Usually in the evenings after dinner, Steve takes the kids outside to play while I clean up dinner/nsp Harper and afterwards Ill come out and do a workout with Steve.  I love having the gym right out the door!  It is so convient and usually a big stress releif for me.  The kids have fun sometimes too and we will teach them different movements.  Reese was practicing her power press. ;)

Sometimes deadlifts and pullups can leave a few marks......when your racing the clock.





Some nights we would take the kids on their bikes and go get shaved ice.

Tea party! Sydney really wanted a tea party wuth little sandwhiches and pink things.

Building forts and watching movies
