Spreading the love to all the men in my life!

I just wanted tell all the men in my life how much I love and appreciate all that they have done and are doing for me.
I have the most incredible husband who loves the Lord, his wife and his children. I learn something new about him everyday and it makes me love him more and more He is the most amazing person and I am so thankful that I get to spend the rest of eternity with this man. Thanks Nathan, for being so perfect for me!
My Dad Morris is nothing less than incredible himself. I have never met a person who has so much love and compassion and who is so willing to serve at any time. He has taught me all about life and to make righteous decisions. He is a person that Nathan and I aspire to be like. I love you Dad.
My other Dad Rigby is beyond amazing. He is loyal, hardworking and loving. He has done so much to help put our little family on our feet and we truly appreciate all he has done. He has always been Nathan's hero and best friend and can't thank him enough for raising such a great son. I love you.
My brothers are amazing as well. My brothers have always been so protective and concerned for my happiness. I love that they care so much and I am grateful for their examples. My brothers I have recently acquired in the last few years are just as great. They both work so hard and love their families. They also are such good examples to me and they keep life entertaining in the family. I love you all so much.
I hope you all have a Happy Fathers Day. Thanks for being amazing men in my life.

I wish I had pictures of all of you, but new computer, no pics.

And we're back...to Branson

We went to Branson a few years ago and I vowed I would never go back. It kind of felt like Las Vegas for old people. Thanks to some convincing by friends and free tickets we made our way back up to the old country. We went to an amusement park the whole time and absolutely loved it. It was one of the best parks we have been to, not necessarily because of the rides, but the atmosphere was so great not to mention it was really kid friendly. We are definitely going back, as long as it is to the park.
I am already able to tell somewhat what my kids will be like when they get older. Caroline is a little bit more timid, but a bundle of energy. She loves to have fun, but will make sure it's safe before she tries something. Rexy is our no fear child. He will do anything and because of it he gets injure quite a bit. This held true at the park. There was fun fountain area for the kids and Rex went right in having water shoot into his face. Caroline wanted dad to hold her and wasn't quite sure about the whole water thing. They have two very different personalities, but we sure do love them.

Caroline was in Heaven the whole time

First ever floam wig! Handsome, don't you think?

Summer Love

If the weather is beautiful why not spend it outside? We are taking advantage of the nice weather by going over to the pool. Caroline has found a few handsome fellas that she loves to be with and Rexy still loves eating the sand. Isn't Summer time great?

Too much fun

This month has gone by so fast, I feel like I can't keep up. Nathan and I have been working in our yard non-stop trying to get our gardens in, but the rain has put a damper on things many a day. We were desperate to get our garden in, so we worked through the rain. Our kids decided to go play in their sandbox while we worked and this is what we found after awhile. I think we gave our kids at least three baths that day.

All of Rigby kids came in town, the only one not here was Ryan and he definitely was missed. It was so much fun to have everybody together, there is nothing better than family. While they were here we were able to do some fun things. The first swim of the Summer was among the fun things on the list. It was a bit cold, but babies don't care all that much anyway!

Here is Rexy and Rylin just cruising along on the big wheels.

We also went to our favorite zoo in the whole world. The kids enjoyed the zoo almost as much as the adults. We have found that Caroline is a little timid when it comes to animals and Rexy has no fear. He would let the goat eat his shirt and he would attack the kangaroo's. Little Rylin wasn't sure what to make of all of it. Thanks for the fun times we miss you all so much.

This past month Caroline has been talking non-stop. It is so much fun to hear some of her thoughts and ideas. The only time I wish we had a zipper is right during the middle of sacrament when she starts yelling to her friends who are clear across the room.

Here's a conversation I just had with Caroline:

Caroline: Mom, where is Jesus?
Mom: Jesus is up in Heaven.
Caroline: No mom! Jesus not in Heaven.
Mom: Where is Jesus if he's not in heaven?
Caroline: Jesus in the temple!

Don't you just love those kind of moments?

I never thought I would be that mom! Do you know what I am talking about? I used to make fun of those moms who let their children run loose in nothing but their diapers. Well, turns out I am that kind of mom. Why not let your children enjoy life while they can?! Come on! Who doesn't want to garden in their underwear?

Here is your next "American Idol".

Happy Birthday- a little late!

This past week we celebrated our little Rexy's 1st birthday. Can you believe that he is one year old?! It is pretty shocking to our family, but we couldn't imagine life without this little guy.

Rexy's big day was spent at the doctors office and sleeping. That morning I woke up feeling like something just wasn't quite right. I decided to be a party pooper and take him in to see the pediatrician. Turns out Rex had an ear infection and Bronchitis/RSV. Poor little guy.
After his visit I decided that it might be smart for myself to go in also. I had been down the whole week, not being able to get rid of my painful head cold. After about two more hours of doctors, they diagnosed me with a sinus infection and strep throat. No wonder all I could do the whole week was lay on the couch and let my kids go wild. Literally my house was a disaster because I had no energy to be a mom. Nathan was so good to us. He would go late to work and come home early to help out. He even missed the opportunity to go to the jazz game in OKC just to take care of us. That is is definitely a huge sacrifice for Nathan, he is amazing.

Rex on the other hand never let on that he was sick. I only thought something might be wrong because of the runny nose and the tugs on the ears. He is such a sweet, happy, content little guy. He truly brings such an amazing spirit into our home. Thank goodness Rex has a dad who pulled through for him on his special day. Nathan bought a cake to celebrate and made it a fun night for the kids. Happy birthday Buddy Boo, we love you.

Here are a few of Rexy's favorites right now: He loves to follow his sister around where ever she goes and because of that gets pushed around a lot. Rex is learning to balance and is pretty close to walking. He loves climbing up the stairs, turning on the water in mom and dads bathtub and pulling out all the plates in the dishwasher. He loves balls and buckets. He is also our human vacuum cleaner(He will eat anything if it is on the floor). Rex can say "momma", "dadda" and "uh oh". We are so happy to have this cute little cuddle bug!
