Happy 10th Anniversary!

I have been married to my wonderful husband for 10 years today! I love him so much and I am thankful for him every day. I love how we can laugh together and enjoy spending time together. I love that he is my best friend and the best father. I love how he works so hard to provide for our family. Love, Love, Love you, Mike!

Lake Powell 2010

We had so much fun at Lake Powell this year. (Really, how can you NOT have fun at Powell?!)
The kids were more excited this year than they ever have been. We had swimming lessons the two weeks before. Kyler had improved so much and was so excited to swim without his life jacket. He's a good little swimmer and, of course, the rule was to only swim with an adult around. Addie had a blast, too. She loves the water and even tried kneeboarding for the first time. Both kids spent more time in the water than any year before. This year seemed a little cooler (still very hot), but the best part was there was always a breeze at night to keep us cool. I was especially grateful, being almost 7 month pregnant and all. Here's some picts!

Baby, there's a shark in the water.

Nice make-shift snorkel, Ky. That's a straw.

The kids made a playground for the lizard they caught!

It's a Boy!

We are expecting a baby! Baby Boy Mumford is due September 20th. We are very excited. Kyler wanted a boy and Addie really wanted a girl. Addie was disappointed just for a minute. Now she loves to tell everyone she will have a baby brother. The ultrasound looked good and I feel good.

Addie likes to come up with names for our baby. Here are a few:
*Addie (That's when she was SURE it was going to be a girl. We asked her if it would be confusing to have 2 Addies. She didn't think so.)
*Cookie
*Super baby

And here's one more...Here's how the conversation went:
Addie:(after just waking up) I know what we should name the baby!
Mike: What?
Addie: BOB!
Mike: Bob?....uh, ok. Thanks, Addie.

Kyler's school opera

Kyler's 1st grade class was part of an opera at school. Utah Festival Opera came and let his class come up with the characters, story, and plot entirely by themselves. Then the UFO puts it to music. The kids also paint the scenery. Parent volunteers make the costumes. I made these mummy costumes for Kyler and three of his classmates. The opera was called "The Stolen Museum." Only two teachers at North Park Elementary do this, Mrs. Ashcroft and Ms. Porter, and Kyler has had both! The operas are always so funny and clever! Last year I was able to play the piano for Kyler's performances. It's so much fun to be part of these operas. It's been a great experience!

Is this a joke?

This is what we woke up to on April 1st. And no, it wasn't an April Fool's joke. I measured 6 inches and snow was still coming. That's spring in Cache Valley for you! We went to an outdoor easter egg hunt and good thing the eggs were colored! We had a fun Easter weekend, even in the snow.

Welcome Home, Elder Brown!

My brother, Jordan (aka Uncle Jo), returned home from his mission! He served a great mission in Cleveland Ohio. The kids were so excited to have him home. Kyler wanted to play Bakugan with him and Addie wanted to play hide and seek. We are so happy to have you home, Jo! Also my sister, Melese, and her kids, Jace and Kaydence, are here from Canada! Oh, fun!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I'm "lucky" to have such great kids (who will wear funny hats so I can take a picture!).
