My easily entertained child!

I think since, and because of my illness, Conner has learned to really entertain himself. Of course he loves to have friends around but if not, he's okay with that too. He will draw for hours, on ANY piece of paper he finds especially his homework. What a doodler! Loves Legos! Loves video games! Loves playdough! Only problem, he doesn't love cleaning up! He just makes me smile!

Are you kidding me?

This kid can fall asleep ANYWHERE, and has! You name it, while sitting reading, on the stairs, in the bathtub, while brushing his teeth and this one....within about 10 minutes after leaving our house....just on our way to dinner!

Kaden's Special Day!

What a special day for our family and Kaden especially! He's been anxiously waiting for this day for a long time. On May 2, 12 days after his 12th birthday at approximately 12:00 pm, he received the priesthood! It was so neat to have his dad ordain him and have both of his grandpas there. Definitely a day we will all remember! Congrats Kaden!

Temple Square

Makenzie and Kaden are very familiar with Temple Square because we went there so often when we lived in Utah. Conner on the other hand hasn't been there much. Since we were already in Utah we decided to go spend Sunday on Temple Square and show him around. During Conference he asked us if it was "real" if the people were real and the place that they were. What better way to show him how "real" it is than a tour of the Conference Center. Wow, that building is so beautiful and so amazing!

This is one of my favorite ways to signify our Eternal Family! Wrapped in the arms of our Saviors love! How blessed we are to have these amazing opportunities so close to us and so available to our children!

Our first Lagoon trip of the season!

What better activity can there be to do after Tax Season ends? Why head to Lagoon of course! This will be the 3rd year that we have had season passes and the best part about this year is that cousins got them too!!! My kids just love to be with their Boehlen cousins and they are super excited to be able to go to Lagoon with them all summer (because the cousins live in Farmington)!

The weather couldn't have been more perfect! It was an absolutely gorgeous day to spend outside! That was some great luck!

Remember the Days!

While Kenzie was gone to dance competition in Boise, her best buddies Camille and Sierra, decorated her room! She was very shocked and very happy when she came home to her surprise.
It makes me reflect WAY back when I was in high school. I remember doing fun things like this whether to celebrate something fun with friends or asking out "that special boy" for a dance. Why does life have to become such a responsibility? The spontenaity and fun of that time of life is so short lived! I hope my kids enjoy every single minute of it!

Elder Carey, we'll miss you!

Elder Christopher Carey (my nephew)

Stephanie Carey (my neice) and her boyfriend Bobby

My nephew Christopher has been called to serve in the China, Hong Kong mission. We had my whole family (my parents and four girls) together up in Seattle for his farewell. What a great weekend, the Carey's sure know how to put on a party!!!! Chris will be an amazing missionary and already had his first baptism when he was a senior in High School. The people in China will be amazed by his height too, like 6 ft. 6!!! Good luck Elder Carey, we'll miss you!
