Koby's 12 yr old bday

Our cute Kobes turned 12.  What a great kid!  He is still full of personality!  And he loves to take Selfies. :)




Birthday Breakfast - pumpkin pancakes and strawberry milk.



And of coarse a lego set.


Nike clothes....


A phone....

and an I-Pod.


He also wanted a cold stone cake.  He must be pretty special because those are expensive!!


Tripper and Ashley surprised him with a visit.





The best part of turning 12 is Koby got the priesthood.  So exciting to have both Grandpas and Tripper with us.  He also got to pass the sacrament.


Elder Johnson was with us also.  He was a witness at Koby's baptism.


With the family.



Matt gave him a great blessing!


Words can't express how much I love this kid!!

G&G Skousen - Grandma just had shoulder surgery so we were grateful that she was able to come over.


 Baptisms for the dead with the Nielsen cousins.


Sadly theses are the only pictures I got for the 4th.  It was a great day with Seven Peaks, World cup game, BBQ and to end Fire works. :)



Mikaela and her new soccer team.


Playing on a beautiful night.  The moon was amazing even though this picture doesn't do it justice!


The girls fought hard and got 2nd place. :)


Cute kids and fun friends!

I am glad my kids like their picture taken. :)



Our annual new shoe photo. :)


World cup with our favorite Lima family.


I didn't have a yellow shirt but I still got to be in a picture. :)


At Koby's scout camp.  The flag was huge.  Pretty cool picture!


Matt and I went to the Script and One Republic concert.  We had pretty good seats! :)




May/June Bday's


My cute soccer team.  :)


Kai at Shelby's swim lessons.


Mikaela had her first every week long soccer camp at BYU.  Her team won for the girls.  She had a lot of fun! :)



My cute niece Alex is having a baby.  I mad this diaper cake for her baby shower.


Broken arms, Pre-School Graduation and Parties.

 Two days after Karsten's 5 yr old bday we were getting ready for his party.  He was outside playing on our new swing set that we had just built.  He was going across the monkey bars and feel once knocking his breath out.  He came in pretty sad about it.  As I was trying to get the rest of things together he went back outside and went across them again. (Which I told him NOT to do!!)  This time he came in with a broken wrist.  I could tell immediately that it was broken.  So instead of having a party we went to the ER.  He is a tough kid because he cried more when he got the air knocked out of him then when he broke his arm.


And the color of choice is..... Neon yellow.


 This is the last kid to graduate from Pre-School.  We feel so blessed that 3 of our kids got to attend the Tree-House Pre-School taught by Aunt Julie. :)  Karsten got to go with his cute cousin Sophie.


Dad missed the picture :)



Saying his part perfect!


And sang so well!






Yay we did it! :)

My 5 yr old B-Day party.  We had so much fun making things out of Play-dough.




We got to decorate sugar cookies.


We have a lot of fun kids in our neighborhood!
