Our Saturday

On Saturday we took the kids to the Prescott Court House. They love to run around on all the grass and Tucker learned how to pronounce gazebo. Earlier in the day we got to watch our nephew and cousin, Connor. We love that little guy. He is so cute:)

After coming out of Costco, there were fireman with the fire trucks out for kids and people to tour. I liked how bid the tires were compared to how tall tucker is.

Trenton got to get up in the cab and pretend he was talking on the headphones like a fireman. They both loved it.

The Burk family seems to have kids in sets of 3. This is Tucker's set..on his right is Jalie (brit's sister's) and on his left is Brek (brit's brother's) They are all 3 years old and born within 4 months of each other.

It was Sunday afternoon after our usual weekly dinner and they had cupcakes. So that is why the nakedness is there.

7 Years ago TODAY

7 years ago TODAY Chris purposed to me when we were up at Lake Powell. It was a Burk family reunion (my family) and he came with me to it. I knew he was the one for sure not long after we started dating. He tried to find the right time to pop the question, but it was not working out like he wanted it to. The entire thought up a plan. I had no idea of anything at all. Which is crazy because a house boat is only so big and there were a lot of little mouths that could have slipped and said something. It was so unbelievable, but no one did. My uncle asked me if Chris and I would go back to the dock and get some Pepsi out of his truck. I said of course cuz it was Pepsi!! Anyways we didn't get too far in the boat when Chris stopped and turned the boat off. (This is in the dark too). So i was a little nervous when he stopped because I thought something was wrong with the boat. Well he of course got down on the floor in the boat and said a lot of things and of course I said YES! Now here we are 7 years later, 3 kids, graduated grad school and staring the new job! I love Chris more than word can describe. He is one of the greatest people I know and is amazing at everything! I LOVE you babe!

What a MESS!

So I forgot about this until I was looking through our pics on the camera. I gave Tatum a red vine in desperation. We were about 40 minutes still away from home on our way back from Flagstaff for graduation. She was so done with the car and the day in general so what else then to give her sugar, right? Only thing is that the good time foe her lasted only a few short minutes. Oh well. It was good while it lasted:)

Tatum loves yogurt

At least one of our kids like to eat food unlike our boys! Tatum especially likes yogurt when she can feed herself. I let her only feed herself in the morning before the bath and at dinner because they all get bathed at night too!

You know when your kids are starting to get older and more independent....When they learn how to do such BIG things in their lives, like riding their bikes with no training wheels.

Sleepy Heads

Are they not all so cute? Especially when they are sleeping! They are cute all the time, but sometimes I look at them and think how lucky we are to have healthy, loving, and beautiful kids!

So Trenton and Tucker love to pull things on the back of whatever they are ridding. They are the ones who will figure out how to tie it on too. This one happens to be the wagons and that day it was a little chili with the blowing wind. Tatum loves being pulled around and will sit there the entire time until I take her out.

Fun pictures

The spouses

The guys

The serious guys

Accepting the Diploma

The picture is dark, but this is later at the graduation party when Chris received the actual diploma!

Daddy the Graduate!!!!!

Well the big day finally came and he did it! We are so proud and happy for him. It was such an exciting trip back up to Flagstaff and we were so grateful to our family who supported us during all of our time in school!

Our hike

We took the kids on a hike up to Thumb Butte (a mountain in Prescott). They had so much fun especially the fact that we let Trenton carry a pocket knife. They both had on their camelbacks, so they thought they were pretty grown up.

The three of them enjoying the nice sunny day. They were walking
up and down the sidewalk with Tatum.

Grandpa Burk and the boys

Grandpa Burk like to cut the grass and so do the boys. He puts on a train car from the train and pulls them around. They sure do love it.
