Tanner's Birthday!

HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY TANNER!!!

Tanner had his 4th Birthday on the tenth of April. We kept the kids b-day's simple this year and I loved it! No big parties & dinners, just the simple cake and presents with the family. Tanner is such a fun boy. We really still can't understand him that well but he has a really good heart. He is the best brother, always helping, funny, caring, and starting to become a real "worker". We love you Tanner!

RODEO

Since this month is full of Birthdays in our little family, we decided to keep it simple and take the kids to the Dodge Circuit Rodeo. The boys absolutely loved it! We are trying to talk Seth & Tanner into roping but they have their hearts set on riding bulls. Every mothers worst nightmare! What a fun night!

Better Late Then Never!

Easter Fun!

The boys and some of the cousins!

This year it was absolutely freezing here so the easter egg hunt was quick. Usually we have to hide the eggs about 3-5 times but this year we all just lasted one quick round. We had a fun inside BBQ at Great Grandma Tracy's on Saturday and then I had the family out to my house for Easter dinner between conferences. It was a low key Easter and we all loved it!

UPDATES!

Things have been crazy around here but I have made a goal of keeping this thing updated. So much has happened and I am sure I won't remember to blog about it all. Seth is still in school and loving it. Jason is right in the middle of calving and hating it. Tanner works with his dad when it's not too cold, otherwise he is watching cartoons or coloring. Justin is getting into everything and he loves it and I hate it! Baby girl is growing big and moving lots! They are going to induce her on June 7th. She is measuring big which is no surprise here since all of the boys were big. I am starting to get morning sickness again and I am hoping that it will go away but I know better. I tell Jason all of the time that I hope this pregnancy isn't a predictor of future behavior because if it is we're in HUGE trouble! Here are some other things we've been up to:

Snow, Snow, & more Snow!

When Jason got back he took Tanner for a ride in our meadows. Tanner loved it and thought that it was just as cool as going on the mountain.

Seth & Jason

Jason loves to snowmobile and sometimes I think it's the only thing in the winter that keeps him sane. He was able to take a break one afternoon and go riding up on the mountains by our house. There was a big group going and he decided to take Seth for the 1st time. Needless to say he absolutely loved it! When they got home Seth wouldn't quit talking about it. Who would have thought that there would be so much snow during Spring Break?

Missouri

This is a picture of Justin and his cousin Wes. Justin and I were able to surprise my parents by flying to MO for a couple of days. I hadn't been home in 2 years and my dad was put in as bishop in his ward so I decided last minute to make the trip. This was Justin's 1st time flying and he did great, although he was a big stinker at my mom and dad's! It was good to see so many family members and to be able to spend time with lots of them. I am grateful to Jason and my mother in law Bonnie for taking care of Tanner and Seth while I was gone!

Grandpa Tracy

Last time I posted I had told you that we went to St. George and were able to move Jason's Grandparent's down there. Well, after being there 5 days, Jason's Grandpa was put into the hospital. About 4 days later he passed away. We love Great Grandpa Tracy and he is missed dearly. This was and continues to be hard on all of us. We are so grateful for the Plan of Salvation and the Gospel and the comfort we get from what we know. We love you grandpa!

Busy Busy Busy

So there has been a lot going on these past couple of weeks. We just got back today from St. George. We moved Jason's Grandparents down there and while we were there we were able to see his other Grandma and my Grandparents. There was a lot to do in the three days we were down there but I think we got a lot accomplished. We had a great time with everyone!
For those of you who don't know by now, we are expecting baby #4. We went to the Dr. the day before we headed to St. George and found out the we are having a GIRL! I can't believe we can actually produce a girl! I am so excited but nervous. Jason looked like he was going to puke when we found out. We had talked about it and thought that having another boy would be just great. We have all of the clothes and toys and we just do well with the boys.... we have no clue what we are going to do with a girl.... it will be a change but we are excited to welcome her into our family! Sorry there are no pics but I will download a couple from what my Grandpa took while in St George later.

My Little Sunbeam!

Tanner started sunbeams this year.

He was so ready to go into a "big boy" class.

He liked nursery but he was getting really ready to get out.

He is getting so big and we are enjoying him

and the things he says daily.

We love you Tanner!

Christmas and then some!

I know I know, I have totally been slacking at my blog lately but I have good excuses. Yeah right! The days are just flying by and they are filled with lots of "to do's" I will try to be better at this. This last month and a half has been filled with running Seth to school (for those of you who don't know the closest school is 20 mins from our house), having school parties, church parties, Jason's surprise 30th, and lots more. I know, I will be playing catch up with all of my pics and stories! Enough talking, here are some fun random pics of Christmas!

YOU'LL SHOOT YOUR EYE OUT!
Here is what Santa brought the boys.



Tubing behind the 4-wheeler

Santa brought Justin this fun ball popper game. He absolutely loves it and goes wild every time he plays with it. The older boys love it too!

The best pic I could get out of these 3!
Trying to be good for me.

REALITY!

Fun new camp chairs. Nice pants Seth! I swear he's not an orphan!

The only "dress up" that was fairly good. Nice look Justin and nice foot there Tanner!

We hope that you all had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Thanks Mom & Dad Hart and Mom & Dad Tracy for making this such a fun Christmas for the boys! Thanks for all of your love and support this year. I hope this year is as good as last!

I love you all!
