Memorial weekend!!

On Saturday we made our traditional visits to the family graves. It was fun because this was the first time in years my brother Mike was able to come with us. My Grandma is really what keeps this tradition alive in our family. She always has the stories ready to share. She even brings along pictures and items that are important to our family heritage.

We took a picture of all the cousins on my side of the family. It was great having my twin niece and nephew with us this year.

On Sunday we went up to the cabin and spent the night with Kev's family. We took a picture of the Foster cousins in the morning before we went out to play.


The boys had a great time playing by the ditch. They both had branches they were using as fishing poles. I spent most of the day trying to keep them from falling into the water.

It was the first horse ride of the season. The horses spend the winters in Idaho and then are brought down for the summer. I can't get over how grown up Mckenna looks riding the horse next to Kev. She used to look so tiny up there.

We drove down the canyon and went to visit my Mom's grave. It was such a nice day and we enjoyed being outside and spending so much time with our families.

celebrating eight years!!!

On Monday we had our eighth anniversary! In some ways it is hard to believe we have been married that long. It is fun to look back over all the years and remember all that we have done together!

We celebrated our anniversary with Grandpa and Grandma Foster. It was there 63rd anniversary. When Kev and I were engaged we thought it would be special to get married on the same day that they had. It is so sweet to see how happy they have been all these years. We hope that we look as great and are still just as happy as they are someday.

We talked them into eating at the Cheesecake factory. It is one of my favorite places and we hadn't been to the one in Salt Lake yet. I think they were both impressed by the extensive menu and how much food you get. I was so happy to have my favorite raspberry chocolate truffle cheesecake. It was really great being able to spend the evening together. Here's to many more anniversaries to come!

Mother's day!!

I had a really great Mother's day! I started the day by being able to sleep in. I was awakened to see my cute kids bringing me breakfast in bed. It was delicious and was a nice way to start out the day.

Parker made me this sweet picture with his handprints. I am so proud because he has learned to write his own name. Mckenna gave me a card that was a questionaire about the things that I enjoy. I laughed when I a read that "moms favorite food is everything." I then felt better when she wrote that I weighed 69 pounds. It sure made this pregnant Mom feel better. My other favorite line was I know my Mom loves me when..."she makes me chocolait!" Halle is my little sunshine and is always so happy and cheerful. I enjoy all the time that we have just the two of us when the other kids are at school. I am excited to meet my new baby boy in about ten weeks. I love being a Mom!

We made the rounds on Sunday to see almost all the Grandmas. This is a picture of the cousins with their Great Grandpa and Grandma Foster. I love how they are both just smiling at eachother while all the kids are doing their own thing.

We ended the day by visiting my Grandma Rosen. I love all my Grandmas and am so grateful for the example they are to me. I am so glad that my children are having the chance to know these wonderful women!
