Random March Photos

Daddy got this bear for Cooper...it has recorded bedtime stories that Eric reads to him.

Cooper likes it.

And it worked!

On a nice bike ride!

Cool dude...ready to go for a bike ride!

Peek-a-boo where is Ryder. He love to climb in there and shut the door and then pop it open. He laughs and laughs.

This kid doesn't like being locked in the house.

Hmmm...Did Cooper want to put sunscreen on his scar. Uncle Jaron says to make sure it doesn't get any sun...Cooper has learned already!

Nothing like enjoying a nice swing on a nice spring day.

Bowling fun with sibling help.

Someone dressed himself today.

Our new boat! A step up from our old one. This one is just a little more reliable.

Easter 2013...yep these are the only photos I took. It was a low key Easter. A little gift and candy always do the trick. And of course an Easter egg hunt too.

Happy 10th Birthday, Brooklyn!

SURPRISE...She didn't know what to think when the balloons fell on her when she opened her door. She was tired and couldn't figure out why we were yelling and saying Happy Birthday to her through the door to wake her up. She loved it though.

We took her to lunch for her birthday. I pulled her out of school which she loved! Daddy met us there too. Special treat for Brooklyn. She didn't know he was coming. She likes these huge burritos from La Parrilla. (Best Mexican food.. Love it)

Cooper and Ryder joined us.

She wanted birthday cake ice cream. She loved it.

And she got an Itouch. She was happy!

Happy Birthday Brooklyn. We love you!

Our Story!

Eric and I met at Costco in 2000. We dated for 7 months and then got engaged on April Fools. (That is one interesting story). We were married in the Manti Temple on July 12, 2001. (Yes that made me only 19...Yikes) My wedding day was truely the happiest day of my life. I remember being so happy and feeling so beautiful!

Then my next joy came with the birth of my children, Brooklyn, Easton, Cooper & Ryder. They are the most determined, outgoing, loud, happy, joyous, loving, & stubborn kids I have ever met...but we love them. Now if only we could get them to listen and obey us all the time. That would make my life so much easier. I know now how my mom felt when we didn't listen.

Brooklyn is in 5th grade. She loves to play with her friends. She loves to ride her bike, play soccer and listen/sing to music! Easton is in 3rd grade. He is also doing soccer. He is going to be a great athlete. He loves to play his DS and play games. Cooper is such a boy. He keeps me busy all day long. He loves his daddy more than anyone. He is his daddy's side kick. Ryder is a great baby. He is very busy. Loves to climb onto the table and chairs. He fits right in! He completes our family!

Eric works for a company called Reynolds Systems and loves it. It has been such a blessing. It is a fabulous, Stable Job! And he loves what he does...it brings many challenges and learning experiences. He has learned so much. I am proud of what he has accomplished since college.

I stay at home...mostly. I do misc jobs for Eric's work, including cleaning and computer work. I then clean a business office at night two times a week. Between all this and our church callings...we are one busy family! We try to have fun when possible. We love to go boating and spending time on the lake! The kids have recently learned how to wakeboard...I wish I had been that brave when I was young.

We bought a great home in Nov 08. It was a foreclosure and a great one I might add. We feel so blessed and lucky to be in our home. It has LOTS of space for us. And a big yard that takes up a lot of time...but we enjoy it.

Our life is busy, hectic and sometimes fun! We are proud to be the Redford Family!!!!
