So Sweet!

These are just a couple of pictures I caught of Haydenn sleeping. She is such a sweet girl! It makes me sad to know that this time doesn't last very long. Sometimes I have to remind myself to just slow down and cherish every moment!

Missing Zoey!

This is our dog Zoey. She is a boxer. We have had her for about a year now. She is such a good dog and so good with my kids. They love her to death (sometimes I'm afraid that might be literally)! Rylenn loves to go outside with her and sit in the grass and pull her ears, poke her eyes and, give her kisses and anything and everything else a 1 year old will do. Tucker loves to rope her like a bull, and he is pretty good at it to. The other day I was watching him and he had roped her and then dragged her to her pen where she couldn't hardly move around and then he climbed on her and was riding her like a bull. Hand in the air and everything. I yelled to him to stay on while I went and got my camera but by the time I got back he was laying on the ground flat on his back and Zoey was licking him to death. When I asked him what had happened he said "Oh just got bucked off". Through all of this she is still so good to the kids. We took her into town to breed. I guess I didn't realize how much I enjoyed her till she was gone! Soon we will have little puppies they should be here around June 19th. So if you know anybody that wants a new puppy just let me know!

Josh and Amber


So I finally decided to try the blog thing. But you'll have to bare with me I don't really know what I am doing. So I thought to start out I would just tell a little about us. Josh and I have been married for 7 years this week, April 19th. And since it is my anniversary I thought I would just share how me and Josh met. We first met when our family moved to Eagar. Me and Josh were friends right away doing 4-H together and other church activities. He always tells people that as soon as he saw me walking my pig on a leash he knew I was the girl for him. His mom was also my Merry Miss teacher and we would be at their house quite often for activities. His family lived next door to us while we were living in my grandma and grandpas house. Although we were always friends and I could always count on him for a country dance when I would be up there visiting, it wasn't until we would tag along on Jennie and Kayde's dates that we became more then friends. We dated for about 8 months and then Josh served a mission in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania mission. We wrote and stayed in touch throughout his whole mission. We were engaged 10 days after Josh got home, and married 21/2 months later. Josh is the love of my life! My mom often tells me that I truly have found my Prince! He is a wonderful husband, an aw some Dad and my best friend! I can't wait to see what the future holds for us both! I love you! Happy Anniversary

Princess #1 Emmy

Emmy is our oldest daughter, and she is 5. Emmy's favorite thing in the whole world is books. If you can't find Emmy she is probably in a corner or in a closet somewhere with a book. She also loves loves loves to color and work on her sticker album. Emmy is currently playing basketball with the city and is in a clogging class and loves those as well. Emmy did start kindergarten this year which she has done very well at. She is the school pet, not just the teachers pet but the whole school loves her. She is also a huge help at home! She already has that motherly nature about her. I don't know what I would do without her!

Handsome Cowboy

Tucker Wayne Wilkins is our only son. He is 3, almost 4. Tucker is a cowboy through and through. I think the love of cows, horses, rodeos, bull riding, spurs the whole bit, runs through his blood. He loves it all! He could tell you most of the PBR bulls in the circuit right now and the cowboys that ride them. Everything to him is a bull for him to ride. From the arm of the couch to our poor dog Zoey. If he can get his little legs around it, it's a bull! Tucker is also very accident prone! We have been to every hospital with in a hour of our house and more with this kid. We've done broken noses, stitches, chopped off finger, you name it we've done it. Tucker also loves to play sports. He just finished playing soccer with the city, and was really pretty good at it. Tuk also goes to preschool and loves that as well! As long as we can keep him from wrestling the girls he does pretty good! Now that Emmy is in school I've had to rely a lot on Tucker to help with the 2 little girls, but he has risen to the challenge! Don't know what I'd do without him!

Don't you love this picture! I have to look at it every couple of days just to get a good laugh!

Princess # 2 Rylenn

Rylenn is number 3 for me and Josh. She 14months and a pistol! She loves to go, go, go! She is my first child that I have ever had to buy a baby gate for, the first to play in the toilet, the first to pull everything out of the cupboards so many times that I finally baby proofed them, the first to figure out how to climb out of her infant car seat, and I could go on and on. When we were taking her out of Sacrament meeting when she was like 4months old because she couldn't keep still I knew we were in trouble. Yes she does keep us busy! I know that most of these things are normal kids stuff, I just got spoiled with my first 2. And even though she keeps us so busy she is the most happy little girl in the whole world. She is always smiling and having a good time. Right now she loves loves loves her baby dolls. She packs 2 or 3 of them around all day! It just amazes me how she could know at such a young age how to take care of a baby. She gives it a bottle and a pacifier and rocks it and covers it with her blanket, it is so fun to watch. She also loves to carry around a purse, but the best part is, that she has to go get a cell phone to put in it. It is scary how much they pay attention to the things we do! She is at the funnest age right now, where she is repeating things we tell her and is really starting to get a fun personality! We love her so much!

Happy Birthday to Me!!

Princess # 3 Haydenn

Haydenn is our newest little princess! She is 1 month old. For those of you that are wondering, yes, Rylenn and Haydenn are just a year apart, and no we were not expecting that. I was told that the chances of me getting pregnant again were not very likely so we were very surprised and excited to know that they were wrong, but just a little nervous about them being so close. Luckily for me Haydenn is the perfect baby! She never cries, only to be fed or changed. The poor little girl as good as she is, her short time here has just been one doctors visit after another. When she was about a week old she had a seizure so we will be going to see the neurologist for that soon, they say not to worry about it to much yet. She also has had a really bad cold and is so stuffed up that she can barley eat, sleep or even breathe! She also had double eye infections from all the stuff that was draining out of them and when I put the neosporin on it she was allergic to it. Then a couple of days after that she broke out into this big huge rash. She just has really sensitive skin just like my other girls. So we just use special detergent and all Johnson and Johnson products. But despite all of that she is still so good. I think this last couple of days she is finally feeling better. It is so fun to watch the kids, they are so good and gentle with her. Even Ry is doing really good. She doesn't really understand why we won't just give Haydenn to her to play with like her other babies, and we mostly keep Haydenn up high like on the table or the counter, so we haven't had any problems yet! I can't wait to see her personality and I can already tell that her and Ry are going to be the bestest friends!
