"Oh my heart!"

Here are a bunch of pictures from our fun day at the Children's Museum. We all had such a great time.

When we were leaving for the museum , Lo wanted to climb in our car and sit on Landon's lap. I thought it was adorable. Landon loves to take care of lorelai.

Here's the gang on the train. What an easy and fast way to get downtown. Don't worry Shanna, I held on to all my kids.


Misty and Lo

Playing with the water at the museum.
Aliya delivering the mail.

Landon and Grant in Sesame Street. Landon couldn't take two seconds to look at me. There was just too much to look at.

In the building area.

If you can't see Grant's face click on the picture to make it bigger. He was amazed by everything. This was his face the entire time we were there. Unlike Aliya and Landon, Grant took his time to look at everything and try to figure it all out.

The kids all loved the ball area.

Notice the snow boots. Misty bought these in Washington and Grant refuses to take them off. If I can pull it off, I will be leaving them at my Mom's. Otherwise you will be seeing us at the splash park and Grant with snow boots on.

This picture is for Daddy!

Aliya loves the climbing wall.

Landon stacking the hay. Working on the farm.

Feeding the chickens.

Bodies in motion.

This helicopter was awesome. Aliya loved all the realistic noises. Grant did not want to go near the thing because of all the realistic noises.

More fun in the balls.

I like to think Lorelai just wanted to get off the horse cause she wanted her Mom, but in reality I am sure she was just afraid of being alone with Grant. :)


I am heading home tomorrow. Of course it is bitter sweet, but I am ready to get home and back into our routine. Misty and Lo go home Friday. It has been so fun getting to know Lorelai. What a sweet, smart and beautiful girl. Again, sorry for a ton of pictures, but I know Neal loves to see them.

Another trip to the North.

My sister came into town this week and we have had a great time so far. Misty and Lo flew into Salt Lake and drove down to St. George along with James and my Mom to see us. Then we all drove up to my Mom and Dad's to spend the week. Yes, I am letting the kids miss more school. Hey it's only once in a while and this week were only half days. Here are some fun pictures from our visit so far. Neal had to stay home and work and I know he misses us, so that is why there are so many.

Today we went to this place called jump on it. Apparently this place, or places like it, have been around for a while but this was the first time I have heard of it. There are wall to wall trampolines all hooked together. It was so fun.

It was fun even for the big kids.

Landon loved watching his uncles do their cool tricks.

Lorelai love to jump whether it be on the trampoline or the ground.

I had a blast also.

I am not sure we could fit one more kid in the tub.

Do you notice my daughter throwng a fit in the background? Being eight is hard.

Aunt Misty got grant a Bob The Builder play set for his birthday. He loved it so much he didn't want to share with anyone. He finally allowed Landon to play.

More fun in the snow.

Don't eat the yellow snow, Lo.

I am having a blast with Misty and Lo. That little girl has changed so much from the last time I saw her. She such a character and incredibly smart. Misty has done such a good job with her. Landon adores her. Somewhere deep inside, I know Grant secretly adores her also. Of course Aliya loves to pretend Lo is her little play doll. The kids have been doing so good. A little tired at times. Not being in your own bed is hard. Before bed the other night, Grant was crying for his daddy. I told him he is at home and we will see him soon. Then he cried for his Grandma (Neal's mom). Then for Grandpa (Neal's Dad). Then for Roxy (our cat). I am sure there will be more pictures soon.

Girls just wanna have fun!!

Here's a picture from Aliya's performance tonight. They all got to wear their cute new outfits for the first time. They did such a good job. My little girl is becoming quite the performer. She gets more confident with every performance. That's exactly what I want her to get out of these classes.

By the way....

For those of you obsessed with the Twilight series as I am, here are the actors playing the Cullen family. I am still unsure about the actor playing Edward. While I was reading the book I had a very clear vision of what Edward looked like to me and he's not it. As for the rest of the Cullen's, I think they did a very good job with the casting. I can't wait to see the movie!!

If by chance

you are at work and you decide to look at my blog and Marvin Gaye's 'Let's get it on' blares through your speakers, I apologize. That was my husband's add to the music player. You can thank him later. hehe :)

There is no way my baby is THREE!!

Grant Lee Cazier

Grant turned THREE yesterday!! How did that happen? Neal had to work at the fire station :( so I took the kids to pasta factory. Grant's favorite!!

Look at that big boy!

Opening Nana and Papa's present!

He loves his firetruck card!!

Make a wish!!

Blue cupcakes..... What was I thinking???
a. I was thinking I didn't want all of the left over cake.
b. I had to choose something at the last minute.
c. That's what the birthday boy wanted.

I can't even tell you how much we love our little Granters. Thank goodness Heavenly Father let this sweet little boy come into our family!!

Who would of thought.......

My sister told me about this website where you can see which candidate you are most compatible with just by answering a few questions about your thoughts on some of the issues. My results were very surprising. Check it out. It only takes a few minutes.

Thanks James for being the only one to take pictures.

My sweet sweet daughter was baptized January 26th. My friend Shanna and I decided to do a joint baptism since the girls are such good friends, well most of the time anyways. We had a lot of fun planning this special day. I love Shanna to death. She is such a neat person and I enjoyed sharing this experience with her and her family!

Brooklynn and Aliya in their beautiful dresses.

Aliya is so lucky to have a Dad like Neal. He will always be there for her. I think this day was a little hard for Neal. I had to practically drag him in from washing the cars to get ready. I think he is in denial that his baby girl is growing up.

We planned a dinner for our family and friends after the baptism. A big dinner with lots of food!! Our families helped so much with the dinner and cleaning up afterwards. We couldn't of done it without them. Thank you so much!!
Especially thanks to Josh and Ashley for mopping the entire gym. They went way above the call of duty.

Is that my Dad trying the punch???? WOW, I am in shock. I think he actually liked it.

Caydence, Aliya and Savannah!! Pretty girls!!

Aliya and I!! She is getting so big.

I am so proud of Aliya for her decision to be baptized. She is such a sweet girl. Always so kind to everyone and so aware of how others feel. Our family would not be complete without her.

I was so happy to spend this day with all of our family and friends!

Landon says he is going to skip from four to eight so he can be baptized just like his big sister.
