Easter and spring time and new additions to our family!!!

So it has been a minute since I have put any info on this lovely blog of mine! So many things have changed.. we have added a few new members to our little (now bigger) family.

 This is Cheech our parrot, one day he might talk!

These cute little fur balls are Stanley (black like guy)

and Lady (silver cute little girl)

They are best of little friends they play and run around, Trace loves to pull their ears and pat their heads.

they love to get out of the yard and explore.

best additions to the family ever...

Trace and Nixon trying to share the ball and look at all the 

cameras trying to take pictures in every directions.

He wanted to try and hula hoop!! Mommy tired but it didn't really work!

Kemmer was so excited to find some eggs!

Trace didnt quite know what to think about the grass.

He was like "Hey mom what is this all about?"

This is our egg hunt in the morning,Trace would get and egg and forget about the rest!

The Easter Bunny left the boys some cars on the swing.

Kemmer is sitll in his jammies, which consist of James's t-shirt and his long johns!!

Kemmer so excited to find some eggs!

Yes this is me hitting the pinnate with bunny ears and no i didn't hit it hard enough!

This is my CUTE mommy Lorye and my handsome little bro Colby.

Trace was not that happy with mom and the bunny ears but they were so cute on him.

He was so sleepy that he fell asleep in my arms right after this.

 well this is my attempt to take a picture with a kid that doesn't like to sit still! 

Kemmer has always been in front of the camera!

 This is the best one i could get, but these are my Handsome little guys in their Easter outfits! they were so so cute! love them so so very much!

THis is Trace wanting so badley to get into the tub with brother, and when i took him out he was screaming and throwing the biggest fit. i laughed and he got even more pissed!

Christmas 2010

Okay I know it is March 6th but i finally found my camera so i am going to post the pictures from Christmas.

 This is all the STUFF that Santa left the kiddos!!

 And this is the rest that still needed to be opened.... I am pretty sure the budget was over spent.

So yes I am brave to post this picture of me yawning, but Daddy and Hailey thought it would be a great idea to wake up at  6 to see if Santa came..... mommy was up late helping Santa with all the gifts

Hailey and Kem both got a basketball and Hanna got so many Rings and Bracelets...
Plus her Dress up shoes... that all three were running around the house in by the end of the morning.

 The 3 oldests helping with Trace with all his gifts he didn't quite understand what to do with the wrapping paper

And the unwrapping BEGINS!!!!

We also made a Ginger bread house but the pictures will not up load today so i will try another day,...

THIS IS OUR NEW HOUSE!!!!!

This is where we will be moving to! It has 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a DISHWASHER, a walk-in closet (no more folding my shirts and having to worry about wrinkles)

The community has a pool, 3 parks, a clubhouse for all our wild birthday parties. its still close to family and it is perfect for our little Family.

Kemmer is so excited, he can not wait for the girls to come and go swimming.

Now mama has to start working out so she can put on a swimsuit. 

WE MOVE IN ON FEBRUARY 12TH.

No more people above us or below us.

I can actually paint a wall if i want to.

(more pictures coming of the inside)

CaLeNdAr PhOtOs

So i made the girls a calendar for while they are gone to Nebraska, some of the pictures I just have to post. some are from when they are super little and then some are from the recent times! I miss the little faces!!

Yeah I know we broke some rules this day, there was a sign that said

"please stay of the dinosaurs"

but is such a cute photo opt! they were laughing so so hard! 

This is at Chucky Cheese for Their birthday party, I so miss his hair. 

I think it is time to grow it out again. 

This is Miss Hailey when she was just so tiny! love looking at these.

 and this is her a little older. she is a FRUIT LOOP!

 I just love this picture of her, she is such a lover girl. 

always coming up and giving me hugs and telling me that she

 loves me.. i always give her the extra treats! 

 This picture was a tricky one if there wasn't a bow in her hair you would totally think it was Mr Trace!

 Hailey's favorite spot when she has her Daddy around. sometimes i think i get a little jealous!

 She just is always so sweet looking. i love the piggy tails. 

so so much fun. and now she looks at me and says 

"mommy Lacey can we just leave my hair down today?" 

what a way to ruin my fun. i alway want to be creative with their hair!

This is her class picture! so cute but yet so sad. she is just way to big!

This is my CHEESE BALL grin, sometimes I think this is the only way

this kid knows how to smile.

I love this picture, Kemmer was just over a year old and his cheeks 

were so HUGE!

This is just a cute picture I don't know what to say,

I am just a very PROUD mama.

I just can not believe how big my kiddos are. Trace will not be to far behind. He is still my baby though!

Happy New Year!! Can't wait to see what it brings for my family and my friends.

He is growing up so fast

Well he is already 3 1/2 months!!

Trace is just a happy little boy and smiles at everything and anything.

He loves to smile...

He is helping mommy cleaning his room.

He loves music and turns his head toward it all the time.

His Favorite commercial is the IPad one.

he gets so mad at the TV when it is over...

He likes this toy for a few seconds and then he is like zero to 60!!

This is his trying to figure it all out face!

I so love this kid....

Football anyone??

Well it is finally football season and i am STOKED!

I have to admit i am a total football nut, i love to watch it every weekend.

i have been following players and coaches this year but i will always be a BRONCOS fan.

and even though his daddy is not too happy about it i have started my littlest one off early and he is pulling for them too.

He looks so CUTE... i know its cheating but this is what he will be for Halloween.

oh i love having boys! can't wait to be the mom that is yelling on the sidelines while they are running with the football down the field!

Kemmer is following the temptation of his dad. he is cheering for the cowboys. oh well at least he likes football right!

Lets hope the season is a good one!!!

Just waiting!!

Well this will be a picture less post but oh well. I am just so excited and sad. My little Man KEMMER is a big boy now, he is officially in preschool. I never thought that this day would be here already. He is so tall and Skinny. He is not the same little chunky baby boy that I remember. but he is dong great. he also had to get some glasses (pictures coming soon) he looks like a little smart boy. SO CUTE!!! I love him. Trace is getting big but he is still my little tiny boy. He is getting more and more active. He is smiling all the time, and just is my sweet heart both my boys are my best buddies....

our newest member to the family and our tears for the little girls that are leaving.

Trace James Rees

8lbs 6oz

Born at 9:01 am

Trace has become the last piece to finish off our cute little family. He is a Mama's boy and even a Grandma's boy. He loves his big brother and sisters. Kemmer and him are snuggle buddies in the mornings while we watch cartoons. Hailey takes great Care of him and is a huge help when i need things. Hanna Sings to him and tells him stories. He is one lucky little Boy.

Kemmer just loves being right next to his little brother.

Trace knows his voice and always coos when he hears him.

Hailey is so proud to show him off and talk about him.

Her famous words "He's cute!"

she is the sweetest thing and she will always be the best biggest sister.

  

Oh Hanna, now she is the singer, she is always singing him a little song and making sure that Trace is not crying. Every time she holds him she is giggling and kicking her feet. So one of my favorite moments.

Now for the saddest part of this blog, My little sweethearts hit the road tomorrow for Nebraska. its been hard thinking that they will not be at our house every other weekend. Tearing it apart and driving me CRAZY. Hopefully the next 3 years will go by so super fast!

My best last moment with these two was today on the way to take them home Kemmer and Hailey were in the back seat talking about their random things that they do. And then all the sudden the laugh attacks broke out! they were laughing so hard and of course made me cry even harder. I am worried about my 3 boys. i hope that they will make it through the years with out the girls just 20 minutes away.

WE LOVE YOU GIRLS!!!

they will hopefully have some great adventures while in Nebraska. I wish Mike and Whitney all the luck in the world. They too are facing a rough 3 years, they are leaving their family as well back here in Utah.

We will still be here and will not be going anywhere!!
