HAWAII

We are standing on the Deck that was off our room. We had the most amazing view

We had such great time. there was so much to see and do Hawaii is so beautiful I hope we can go back some day.

Chase is quite the little eater even if it is dirt! Now that he is no longer breastfeeding he is always wanting to eat I can't get the food in him fast enough! And he dosent like baby food he wants the real stuff. He is such a little pigggy.

If you can't tell that is a squirrel in the sack. The boys have turned into quite the little trappers. Kayden cried when we let the squirrel go.

We spent the day after memorial day decorating a few graves. I was feeling bad that i wasn't able to go up north and decorate my loved one Graves. So me and the boys decided to make a new tradition at our House. We went to the cemetery and found a grave that nobody had decorated so we took it upon ourselves to clean it and decorate it. We had a great time and we left the cemetery with a great felling. We plan to go back and do the same thing next year.

Connor had a great 9th birthday

Our life is crazy busy I haven't even had time to blog! So this is what we have been up to. We spend Wednesday and Thursdays at the ball field, watching Taylor and Connor play, sometimes until 10:00 pm at night. Monday, Tuesday, Thursdays, and Saturday's are practice. Wednesday I do scouts and brad does his church work. Kayden is out of school( It's so nice not getting him up at 6:45 am ) He misses pre-school. Taylor and Connor get out Friday may 22 ND. Chase is now pulling himself up and he now has two teeth, and I'm weaning him this week "OUCH". Oh ya we were at the insta care this past Thursday were Connor received 5 stitches. How! Well Taylor was swinging a stick and hit him in the eyebrow and split it open. It was a accident " I'm tired of all the accidents " so that pretty much sums it up. I'm busy at home and brad is Busy at work. BY the way the new grease monkey is opening up next week so if your in the are check it out, rick and Teressa have done a great job, the building and the waiting room is AWESOME!!!!

The last time I went out of town without my older boys and brad, I came home to a perfect candle light dinner. They worked so hard to please me. I have the best kids and husband in the world. I Love you guys more than words could ever say

First tooth

My sweet sweet baby boy finally has his first tooth. After weeks of chewing on everything in his reach and lots of extra drool it finally popped through. the bottom left to be exact. I know i keep repeating this but please Quit growing so fast I need you to be a baby a while longer.

PINEWOOD DERBY

OH YEAH DERBY TIME!!! The boy had so much fun building their cars with Brad. Taylor's car ended up being a awesome Blue low rider truck that ended up taking 2ND and 3RD place. Connors car was a really cool Yellow muscle car with two black racing stripes. This was Connor's first pinewood derby and his car ended up taking 2Nd and
3Rd as well. "Not Bad"

CHASER

Why do babies have to grow so fast? I think Chase's nick name "Chaser" is really going to fit him especially now that he is army crawling. He started crawling on March 22. And now hes plowing over his toys, pillow, anything that gets in his way. this morning i found him heading behind the TV and yesterday he made it behind the toilet. I'm having a ton of fun being a new mom again but you forget that you can't take your eyes off them for a second.

Science Fair

Connor entered the science fair. His science fair project was " Who's mouth is cleaner a human, dog, or cat" Our whole family had a lot of fun watching Connor's bacteria grow on the petri dishes we would go a check them daily to see how much Gross stuff had grown. Needless to say the human mouth was the cleanest the cat came in second and the dog well his mouth was the dirtiest. So the myth a dogs mouth is cleaner that a humans is busted. Believe me after you witness all the fun stuff that grows on a sample of dog or cat slobber you will never want to kiss them again. " at least I wont" Connor worked very hard and it paid off he took SECOND place out of the third grade in the science fair Friday he will receive a metal and 15 dollars. Great job Connor you made your parents proud.

History fair

Taylor and his friend Cadyn decided to enter the history fair they did their report on William Mulholland a famed and infamous water and civil engineer. They Did a really great job they ended up taking THIRD place out of the fourth grade they both received a metal and 10 dollars. Good job Taylor me and your dad are really proud love mom.

Chase is six months old today. I can't believe it's been a half a year. He's sitting by himself and he has been rolling over for a month or so now he is also saying da da "brad is so proud". He's growing way to fast I just want him to stay little forever.

Penrod family

" Boy's have got to be less complicated than girls I'm glad I had four of them"

Connor and his dance partner. " Isn't he cute "

Taylor came home from school a few days ago all worried because his class was going to be dancing with CO ED partners . "he said I have never danced with a girl before I'm so nervous" I proceed to tell him not to be nervous and that he would have a lot of fun. The rest of the night he was so uptight talking and going on how he was so nervous how he didn't know which girl to pick and he was so worried about what he was going to wear. The next morning you would have thought he was off to prom he had one of his best shirts on his dress shoes and a gallon of his dads cologne. He was so cute to watch. That morning he mad sure to invite me and his dad to come and watch. So I invited my neighbors. When I arrived at the front desk with my little entourage I asked the secretary where I needed to go she looked at me and said oh this is really not for parents you children are going to be mortified but go ahead it in the gym. As we entered the gym sure enough we were the only spec taters. I looked around and found Connor dancing I was a little shocked he hadn't mentioned that he was going to be dancing I don't think he new that he was going to be dancing that day either. Connor was so cute to watch I think he had a lot of fun. When taylors class mad there way in his teacher pulled me aside and said " I think talor has a gallon of cologne on I just laughed. I told his teacher how dumb I felt being the only mother. She said to me you should he honored that he would want to invite you. He looked so cute dancing with his little partner. Needless to say me and Brad and our neighbors had a great time even though we were the only ones there.

Taylor was so happy when he earned his Bear badge. good job!

What a chunk! Isn't he adorable? We love having a new baby around and it is so good for the older boys. Taylor and connor actually took these pictures of me and chase.

YEAH!!! We finally got the okay to open our present from rick a Teressa when it started to smell funny. And inside we found a moldy pineapple and a not that read " Merry Christmas you are going to Hawaii in June 2009 This is good for two round trip tickets and lodging with us in Hawaii" Holy crap can you believe it we are so excited thanks rick and Teressa.
