Mother's Day Fun!

We went up in the mountains and had a picnic with my parents on Mother's Day and rode on my Dad's new four-wheeler, and the boys LOVED IT! We had a really fun time and are so glad for Papa's new toy! It was a fun Mother's Day. Dan made me french toast with fruit for breakfast, which is my FAVORITE! Caden and Collin made me some cards and some little pins to wear and they were so sweet. I had to speak at church which was a real treat too!! Ha Ha. They really wanted to make me feel loved and they did a great job of it.  I love being a mother.  It is the best job ever and I wouldn't trade it for anything!

Caden's Citizenship Award

Caden received a Citizenship Award yesterday at their Awards Assembly.  It was so fun to go and watch!  It was a really neat assembly.  We are so proud of him for what a good job he is doing in school!  This was a really special award and he is very deserving of it. I know I'm the mom, but the teacher made sure that everyone understood what a special award this is, so GOOD JOB Caden!!

Easter Fun!

Here are some fun pictures from Easter. The kids had so much fun hunting for Easter Eggs. I had fun too! This is one of my favorites, so I love seeing them get excited about it.  The Easter Bunny brought the boys sunglasses, so that's what those pictures are all about.  They are so goofy! 

Kelsi at Granny's house

Granny took some pictures of Kelsi at their house on Easter, and I really liked this one. She is such a little sweetie! 

Sled Dog Race

This little video clip was inspired by the movie

 "Snow Buddies." They thought this up all on 

their own after watching the movie and then 

asked me to video tape it.  Unfortunately there 

is no sound.  They told Colson to say "Hike Hike" 

and then they took off.  It was pretty funny!  

Kelsi's Blessing

Yesterday was Kelsi's blessing.  She looked so sweet in the dress her Daddy picked out for her. She will be 6 weeks old tomorrow.  As always, it is going too fast.  She is doing great and her brothers love her so much! Yesterday Caden told me that if anyone is mean to her he is going to punch them. Yikes! Look out!  Anyway, it was a great day.  We are so thankful that Kelsi is part of our family and we all love her so very much.  We love you little miss!!

Collin's 5th Birthday Party!

I know I am late getting this post up, but here are 

pictures from Collin's 5th Birthday Party! 

He LOVES his birthday. We had a family 

birthday party at a pizza parlor.  I love the pictures 

with frosting around his mouth. I think it's safe to

say that he liked his chocolate cake! He picked out 

the "Monster Trucks" to go on top. The picture with

pink wrapping paper was a joke from Caden. He hid 

inside the huge box and jumped up when Collin was

trying to open it. It was all his idea, so it was pretty

fun! Thanks to all who came. He had fun!

We love you so much Collin!  Happy Birthday!

KELSI ANN

Kelsi and I are home now and we are both doing well.  I feel so blessed to have had another healthy baby and delivery.  I like to think that I am the happiest person on the face of the earth, but Dan might beg to differ.  I am still getting used to the idea that I have a girl.  I am so excited to have the opportunity to have a daughter.  I was just so surprised!  She is definitely going to be protected by her three big brothers.  They all adore her!  Caden had to come into my room this morning before he left for school to check in on her.  He loves holding her.  Collin and Colson bought her first book for her and picked "Sleeping Beauty."  We read it to her last night while Caden held her.  Dan picked out a beautiful little dress for her and I love watching how his heart has melted.  Needless to say, Kelsi has added a new element to this family and we are all filled with joy.  I cry in gratitude to Heavenly Father every day!  :)  I hope you all enjoy the pictures.  -Jodi

Here SHE is!

It's a GIRL!!!

We would like to introduce you to Kelsi Ann Primus.  She was born on February 17, 2009 (Happy Anniversary!!!).  She weighed 7lbs 3oz and was 20.5 in. long.  Jodi's water broke at 2 a.m. and she was in our arms at 5:33 a.m.  

I may be a little bias as her daddy, but she is beautiful.  She has a great complexion and is so dainty.  There is no doubt she is a little girl.  She has a lot of hair, looks like she has already been to the salon with highlights.    

It was a frustrating couple of weeks waiting for our baby but it was worth it.  Both Jodi and I are happy to have our little girl!!!  

Jodi is still in the hospital and will be coming home tonight, so I am trying to add a post for those who want to see pictures.  I hope this works.  Jodi will be adding a lot more pictures when she comes home.  I will do what I can for now.
