Feeding ducks with Mabel!

We were lucky enough to have

Mabel come and visit us a couple weeks ago!

We LOVE having Mabel around!

I decided to load up the kids and take them to feed the ducks.

My bff Kohleen graciously consented to going with me seeing that

I was taking 5 kids!

So off we went to the duck pond in Highland and the kids had 

a blast! Even if a loaf of bread only lasted 10 minutes...

Aren't Ashley and Owen so stinking cute!

They like to hold hands :) They are so cute together!

Trying to get a shot of all five was kind of a joke...
but at least I tried and only got 4 in the picture seeing that Livvy
had just fallen while walking and was having a melt down.

Thanks Kohleen you're AWESOME!!

Eagle Mountain Splash Pad.

One afternoon I decided to take the kids

to the splash pad up in Eagle Mountain.They had fun for a little while but then

the wind picked up and it got cold fast!

Owen was the wussy one and wanted to leave pretty much as soon as the wind started

but Livvy would have stayed forever! She LOVED it!

She threw a huge fit when I made her leave...

I will have to take them there again soon!

Owen and Livvy's Birthday Party!

To celebrate Owen and Livvy's birthday's

 we combined them and tried to party at the park...

We got to the park and started the coals for the hotdogs

and did some visiting and the wind picked up and made it really cold! 

So after some hurried dinner we all piled in our cars to finish the party at our house!

After we got to our house we put the cakes on the table 

and sang happy birthday to them and they both LOVED it!

Livvy even blew out her own candle!

Then it was on to presents!

Livvy totally got the idea and opened all of her gifts!

She loved looking at all of them and when she got a little

Minnie mouse outfit from my Mom she hugged it! (bottom left picture)

It was so cute!!

Owen loved all the stuff he got! and he got A LOT of stuff (So did Livvy!)

They were so spoiled it was way better than Christmas!

Then after that we dished up cake, played with toys and visited!

Thanks to everyone that came 

and made their birthdays so special!

Owen is 4!!
