Just to start off, Please know that I am just starting this blogging thing. I actually started about a year ago so that I could post Dallyce's baptism pictures and that was THE END. I came back a couple of months later and could not figure out what I was doing. Anyone who knows me can vouch for me that I am a computer IDIOT. (Just ask my sister Corie, she has bailed me out countless times, too many to think of.) Anyway, I have been hopping on everyones blogs for the last 6 months and loving them. I would stay up until 1 or 2 in the morning sometimes just looking at all of your amazing blogs and was blown away. Well, I started getting some grief from some of you (Katie, Shannon, ect.) and thought I had better figure it out. Well, no luck so last week Katie called me and said she would put it all together for me and all I needed to do was upload the pictures. Well, that right there was enough to almost push me away but when I saw how cute she had made my blog, I thought I had better get a few pictures in here. So, THANKS KATIE for getting me going, I owe you. (Magelbys is on me next time) And thanks to all of you for letting me take a peek into all of your lives. I am still getting the hang of it so a lot of things are messed up. Oh well, I will learn eventually.

Brent is ANOTHER year older
So, a quick funny story with this. We have a great friend of ours that makes his kids birthday cakes and we all think that it is so great. They are not the typical cake in the pan but castle cakes and all sorts of fun things. Anyway, Brye thought it would be great to make Brent a cake for his birthday and take it into Red Lobster in front of everyone. Well, the funny thing is that he not only made a cake but he made one in the form of a wedding cake with a groom and a motorcycle on the top. (They all think he plays way too much) So, here we are in the middle of Red Lobster and Brye came in with the cake lit with way more candles than he was turning and his groom and motorcycle on the top. Too Funny!! When he blew out the candles, we thought that for sure the smoke alarm was going to go off. Anyway, Thanks to Brye, Mindi, Mark and Diana for a great night full of fun memories.
Brent is probably not going to be thrilled with me putting these pictures in but I think he is such a great dad. Not many dads will give their little girls pedicures. The girls love when Brent decides to surprise me with a pedicure because they know that when he is done, it is their turn. These are not just your stick your feet in the water, ok your done kind of pedicures either. He could make some good money doing this. (No, he is not quitting his day job) He might play a lot, but that is okay because he takes care of his girls.
The kids wanted to take Dad bowling for his birthday and we all had so much fun.
Our New Easter Clothes
Quickly before church, I tried to snap some pictures of the kids in their Easter clothes. Brent was in southern Utah riding motorcycles and Dallyce was in Utah having some one on one time with Grandma Judy so that is why there is not a picture of Dallyce in her cute Easter dress but she always looks cute anyway.
Jordyn cheesing to the camera. (No time to keep taking more pictures)
Princess Payton loving her sparkly new shoes.5 Years Old
With her Nintendo Ds and pink purse to carryit in, of course.
From her shopping spree with Grandma Christensen. More Webkinz for mom to play with.
Payton, you are one of the easiest kids in the world. It takes almost nothing to make you smile and we are blessed to have such a funny girl in our family. Happy Birthday!!!Jordyn and Friends
Here is my baby Jordyn with our newest addition, Izzy.
Next, is Jordyn with my brother Troy's youngest, Addie. When it comes to taking pictures, these two are polar opposites. Jordyn wants to pose, put her arm around Addie, smile and look at the picture immediately after it is taken. Addie on the other hand wants nothing to do with getting her picture taken so this was a rare picture that they both looked at the camera at the same time. These two had lots of fun playing at Grandma Judy's house.
Last but certainly not least, Jordyn with her Grandpa. Grandpa also does not like to look at the camera but I do get some great pictures of him interacting with the kiddos. They love to crawl up and sit next to him and watch usually either golf or basketball. What a great Grandpa!!
Happy Webkinz Birthday!!!
If you have not heard of webkinz yet, you are missing out. Webkinz are these cute little stuffed animals that you can log in to your computer and then you feed them, decorate their houses and play some pretty addicting games. We got into these around Christmas of last year and I am proud to say that I have got quite a few of you addicted to your kids games. You know you are obsessed when your kids log on only to find you have spun their Wheel of Wow and have already done the Wishing Well. If you haven't done it, don't start. When your 5 year old is trying to pry your from the computer so that she can have a turn, that's when you know it went from fun to obsession. I will say that I have mastered Cash Cow and think I could give you all a run for your money. (Except maybe Corie, who in the middle of the night while working, I think is trying to up her game.)
Anyway, Dallyce recieved a few more Webkinz and was thrilled and had a great birthday and I am just so happy to have her as my little, stubborn, I am always right, sweet, kind, beautiful little girl.
Alright, so I am taking baby steps in this whole blogging world. BE PATIENT!!!! I have already messed up a bunch of things. Our sledding pictures were going to come after the birthday party, but obviously I messed that up and I am sure there will be plenty more.
These pictures are from in December when we had all of the Parduhn cousins together. It was also Jordyn's 3rd birthday and so we had a little party with everyone. So, as my brother was lighting the candles, my sister (thank you) was trying to get Payton to smash her face into the cake. After Jodyn blew out the candles a chant began around the room, "Payton,Payton,Payton..." and any of you who know Payton knows it takes only that to have her not just put her face in the cake but basically destroy the cake with her face. Everyone thought it was hilarious and I have to say Jordyn was such a good sport watching her cake being smashed. Anyway, not to be outdone, big brother Tucker decides to go ahead and try this also. Needless to say, it made for great pictures but not a lot of the cake was left to eat. Though, I did make sure Jordyn at least got a big piece of her birthday cake.
Happy Birthday Jordyn!!!! We love you.
