OVER DUE APPRECIATION

so here is my attempt to suprise heather to publicly show how much i love and appreciate her for all she does for our little family. y'all know we just recently had our 'LITTLE' McCoy, weighing in at a wopping 5lbs 10oz he's the runt of the family, heath did a fantastic job.

when i first met heath i had no direction after spending the first 5days with her that i could that quickly turned around. i knew what i wanted in life (kind of), she was different, we often talk of what could of been or how it would've been if we never met, something im glad i don't have to go back and try to find out. because of heather i have goals in life instead of just letting it pass me by without a care in the world.

with that being said,

sweatheart, im greatful for all the challenges we've had in our short little life together and look forward to the challenges we will have in our life to come because that's what makes our love so strong for eachother. thank you for our 4 beautiful children you have given us, especially the great nature and time out you take to teach them in school and lifes lessons that's why we have such good kids.

I LOVE AND APPRECITATE YOU VERY MUCH!!

Oquirrh Mountain Temple

Missing: Cody(at work), Jaymi (watching Parker) & Parker (ever met him?)

Braeden's thoughts in the sealing room, "Really mom, married forever, are you sure, to the same person?"

Talan walked a fine line only occasionally going outside of the boundaries set by the temple. I have a feeling he may test more than just those boundaries.

Lexee's thoughts, "My favorite part was everything, especially that the mirrors never end."

100% Spelling Tests = Reward??

Yeah! They all got 100% on their spelling tests this week. For a reward, I took them all skating... or falling...

She did stand for a minute.
He said, "If I just stay like this and scoot, it doesn't hurt as bad!"

What? He can ride a two-wheeler and can't skate...shocking!

"Lex, if you just stay by the wall and hold on you might be able to stand up."

Ohhh Daring Lex ventures from the wall (not for long though). I promised them that if they got 100% on their spelling again next week, I would never MAKE them skate again.

You did great!

LA Dance Company presented the Spring Recital 2009 tonight and the girls did a great job. Lexee, Dani, Ashlee & Taylor have completed a full year with this dance company and have really enjoyed it. Their talents have really developed and they all plan to return next year to continue learning technique, making new friends and developing talents. Lexee was invited to join the Junior Specialty Prep Team for next year which is a team that prepares dancers for competition. We are so proud of this accomplishment. The girls are excited for a little break this summer and anxious to start again.

Nice Shoes

Happy 9th Birthday Tay!

Love Bowling shoes! Talan was obsessed in making sure the velcro was done up. He stopped those who were next to specifically "do" their shoes.

It's pretty sad when bowling shoes are so ugly you can't even tell that these are on the WRONG feet!

"What! I can't keep these?"

What does it take to get a duck to take the bread?

Here's where the fights begin. There was a white goose who attacked another duck refusing to share and so we put him in time out and REFUSED to give him the yummy, stale, hard rolls!

"Come back I am GOING to FEED you whether you want it or NOT!", said Dani.

"Dang, why are you giving the "good" bread away?" said Parker.

"Seriously DUCK take the hard stale snack I have to offer!" said Talan.

"You are not going to leave until you have cleaned your plate." said Ashlee.
