My Big BOY Turned 3!!!

I had a little birthday party for Henry because he sees Katelyn go to friends partys all the time and so I figured it was his turn to have some fun. It wasn't the warmest day out but we still attempted the water and they had a lot of fun, until they got the shivers really bad!

We got a McQueen and Mater cake from Walmart, and Henry got into it just before we did the candles. It was fun to share it with his little friend Aaron who also had a birthday the same week!

Yes, he really enjoyed the cake as you can see! My kids all love the frosting the best!
Katelyn and Morgan were great helpers at opening the presents! Henry loved being the center of attention!


Henry got a lot of fun toys from his cousins, grandparents, friends and his family! His favorite gift was the $1 coloring book and crayons that had Madagascar on them. He absolutely loves that movie! He loved all the toys and was really a happy boy!







We took the kids bowling and they loved it. Katelyn was the only one that got a strike and it was for Henrys turn, so he ended up winning! Thank goodness for bumper pads! The highlight of the event was when Henry threw a ball down the wrong lane so I decided to quickly try and stop it before it got too far and well, yeah, that didn't happen as I had planned. I wiped out pretty good, those floors are dang slippery! Don't try this, just let the ball go! Believe me, it's for your own good!

We sure love our Henry, he is such an active boy, and he makes us laugh all the time! My favorite phrase from Henry lately is 'Thankyou for Helping Mom.' I guess that I say that to him a lot, but it is really cute to hear him say it. He loves to ride bikes with Katelyn and loves to help clean up, yipee! I'm just hoping that '3' will be a big change for our little boy so that we can graduate from the 'terrible two's.'

Training for a Half Marathon!!!

I have been trying to think of something to blog about and well, now I found something! A few friends in the ward/area are getting together in the mornings and going jogging. I've been wanting to do this for a long time now and they are starting at 6:15am, and most of you know that I am not up at this time of day. I always tell people to not call me before 9am because I may not be out of bed. Well now on Mon/Wed/Fri and sometimes Sat. I will be up at the butt crack of dawn! It was extremely hard at first and I defientely wanted to just stay in bed(actually the first two times I did sleep after my alarm clock went off). Jason told a friend that I would never do it, so after I heard that I wanted to prove him wrong and show him what I'm made of! He he!
So I am registering for the half Marathon in Provo in August and I'm really excited to do it. I think that it will be a lot of fun and if anyone wants to join up they still can! The more the marrier!
As my brother in law said today 'Go team Hull,' (Thanks for the motivation Nate!)
I have had so much more energy and have gotten my day started quite a bit earlier, it has been so nice!

Free again!

I just wanted to tell everyone that I am a free women once again! That is true, Morgan is officially weaned from mommy! This means that daddy can now get up in the night with all three kids and can't say 'I can't feed her', 'ha, it's finally his turn to take over.'
No, our kids actually sleep really good so I can't complain about that one! I'm just excited to know that I don't have to rush back home to feed a child. It is great news for me! So if anyone is wanting to go on a vacation, count me in, and I don't care if it is really long either! He he!


Morgan is still a mommys girl, although she would probably cuddle with anyone, she is my little sweetheart! I took her to the doctor this week for her one year checkup and she is in the 5th % for weight and 10th % for height. She weighs 17.5lbs. That is smaller than my other two were! She got 5 shots and wasn't too happy with that, oh and she is on medication for an ear infection, plus she is teething! Poor little girl!

Easter!!!

We had a great and very busy Easter! We had a 'Folsom Family Reunion' and it was a lot of fun to see everyone and hang out! The kids were so excited Sunday morning, when the easter bunny brought them a few toys and treats. It was cute to see them have so much fun! We slept over at my brothers house in Pleasant Grove and partied all night! The kids were pretty worn out from all the excitement!
Little Morgan was just happy to play with the leaves, who needs toys! I do have to tell you that I made Katelyn and Morgan skirts. I was pretty proud of myself considering that I didn't even have a pattern, just a picture off the computer. They turned out okay I think!
Henry loved playing with all the big boy cousins and chasing them everywhere! He mostly loved my brothers little dog, but I'm sure that the dog didn't feel the same, he he! Henrys favorite thing lately is watching Madagascar 2 so the Easter bunny brought him 'Horton Hears a Who' and now all her wants to watch is the Elephant movie! He cracks me up! My sister and her family have been staying at my house this past week, and he told me that he would watch anything but the Elephant movie, we were all getting pretty sick of it! Poor Henry!

Katelyn can be a great poser when she wants to be! She has also loved playing with all her fun cousins this past week. Her favorite thing was the trampoline place 'Jump on It' that we all went to during our family reunion. It was great. She also loved the fun Easter egg hunt that we did with the kids! It was a great weekend! I love my family and love spending time with them!

My baby turned One!!!

Yes, that's right. Morgan had her first birthday! We have had family in town the past week and have been going crazy! But we managed to celebrate with her and try to make her day very special! We tried to make Henry promise to be nice to Morgan and not pick on her, for just one day out of the year! (I don't think that he understood very well!)
We got her a little walker/stroller for her little doll! It was very cute watching her try and push it, although it would take off on her sometimes. She had fun with it!

She is going to be a good babysitter someday, she's already practicing with her doll!
Morgan got a great big birthday cookie this year! She seemed to enjoy it quite well!
I still can't believe that my baby is already one! We love her so much, she has been the best little addition to our family!

Our little angel!

My soon to be 'sister in law' took some cute pictures of my kids the other day! I'm not making any announcements, we just all hope that things happen between Jordan and Jesse soon. We absolutely love Jordan, she spent the whole day at my house taking these cute photos of the kids. It was a fun, long day! Thanks Jordan, you are awesome! She is going to photo shop some of the pictures but I couldn't wait and wanted to share with everyone some of my favorites!






Morgan is the perfect little baby! She has been such a good little girl. She is always so happy and friendly to everyone! She does love mom the best, so I have no complaints about that! She is going to be turning one next week, I can't believe that she has already been with us for one whole year. Time flys by when you are having fun, and chasing kids everywhere, right? Morgan just got her first tooth this week, pretty late I know!

My big sweetheart!

Katelyn is such a fun girl, she loves to help me out most of the time! She is especially good with carrying Morgan everywhere! She just got her hair cut by Jordan and she absolutely loves the short little A-line cut! It is super cute on her and exactly what she needed for her thin hair! Jordan is awesome! Katelyn loves preschool, dance and soccer and also loves going out and riding her bike with the neighbor kids. She is very energetic and never slows down! We sure love our big helper!
