Short Commercial Break
Don't mind the awful back yard...it is winter and everything dies...
The other day the 3 little ones and I spent most of the day outside it was so amazing we couldn't help ourselves... so what do the kids head to first?? the dirt pile. so I let them. Jaxon has never been so dirty ever..... he was loving it though.
Jesse decided that he wanted to ride a bike with out training wheels..... so Friday he got the little bike and we did it..... now he can start all by himself. He loves it!! The boys went out first thing this morning - they were excited about riding bikes but we have had some amazing rain today so they came back in. We'll have to try again another day with out the mud.

Friday Night at the Ziegler's
When I watch this one I can't stop watching Jaxon. He is so serious about which of the 4 keys he is going to play on that piano. I hope they love music when they get older like they do now. Leah found the little ukulele at a goodwill in Gilbert I'm so glad - now I need to find 4 more!!! (Don't forget to turn off the background music)
More of the Friday Night Concert at the Ziegler's
I thought that it would be fun to take a break from updating the last year and add some entertainment/commercial for you....Samantha has asked for a guitar for Christmas ever since we went to the Michael's wedding when Brittany played it - she was in love with the guitar so one day at my favorite mall I found one for 7 bucks so I got it for her for Christmas. She plays it everyday and sings along she is great!! So tonight we had a small family concert alittle singing, dancing making music it was wonderful!!! I had to put this video first because even Jaxon got in on the singing it is so funny when the kids watch it they laugh so hard!! Great night we topped it off with pizza and a movie....a great family night.

Still Catching up......I Need a Blog Overhaul
It may take me a year to catch upon the last 6 months. This is my 3rd entry so if you're trying to catch up on us you'll have to go back to the entry of Jaxon's adoption. Now back to our Summer trips - they were so great after the Grand canyon we went to Cedar city and stayed a couple of days parked in front of Jay and Shauna's house. The kids love to play together...well mine love to play with theirs they talk about them all the time and ask when the next time we are going to Utah!! After a couple of days with them we drove up to Park City to attend Jake and Heather's wedding - I thought for sure I took pictures at the wedding so I'll have to go find some. It was great fun it was a beautiful day for an outside wedding. we stayed there a couple of nights and then drove to Bountiful to stay in James aunt and uncle's driveway (thank goodness for driveways!! - free power and water hook ups) I think that was the highlight of our trip - we went down to Salt Lake to see Temple Square and it made a lasting impression on the kids. Now whenever they see a building that has anything that looks like a steeple it is a temple. We took a tour of the conference center that was fun - taking tours with children under 5 should be ban in the US.....simply because when someone has to take you and show you the stuff it usually means they don't want you to run around and touch everything. That is an impossible task for anyone under 5 that lives in the J&M Ziegler Home. They loved seeing the roof of the center. I am still amazed that if you forget you're on the roof it is just like a garden on the ground. There were some amazing snow clouds to the east that brought some beautiful rain - I love rain anytime, anywhere. Before we went to the temple grounds we had a little lunch on the sidewalk right in front of the conference center it was great it's like a little park with rocks grass and a little stream (aka melted snow) running between the sidewalk and the street. I'm pretty sure that is what heaven is like - minus the tired kids - beautiful weather, beautiful surroundings and the spirit of the temple right there for all to see and partake of. We had fun taking pictures at the "temple spot" better known as the cement slab that all couples stand on with the temple in the background....amazing!
We only had to take about 3 of these to get everyone in the picture looking at the camera....Just look at all of us. It is a miracle to me everyday that we have these 6 amazing children and that they are sealed to us- I'm grateful for people and things around me that remind me to thank Heavenly Father daily for our family...We were ok for 14 years with just the 2 of us..now it is like all that time was a small moment - we could never ever go back to that. I am in love with Heavenly Father's Plan for us!!
Shea, Joey, Jesse, and Samantha - doesn't it look like nap time? Beautiful pioneer wild flowers!!
This is Love Child #6 He was a trooper during this 2 week whirlwind. He go to know the stroller really well. It was a life saver.
When ever I see a picture of Jaxon and he's not right here I want to go and get him and squeeze him tight for along time - but when I do he wants to get down and run for his life...he's a great runner for a 1 yr old. I love his lips and his round face and his crazy hair - which we've cut a couple of times already. I can see already why people want more children.....he is growing up so fast he is definitely not a baby anymore...he is such a boy toddler he loves cars and boy stuff. He is a jokester just like Jesse (heaven will help us!!) he does things and waits till you laugh about it. What makes it more funny is that he is so small. If we had one more girl that would be ok....I'm just saying:)
