So, yes it has been a long time since my last blog and lots of things have happened. My fav is as you can see in the picture Logan has learn to get his own milk. I'm a proud mommy!! j/k He is growing up so fast and I'm loving every minute.
Our girls Alexa and Parker have enjoyed their soccer season. Alexa is a fast runner and loves the social part of soccer. Surprise! That girl can make friend with anyone. She also is so excited to start Young Women's this month. Parker is soooooo competitive and it is very fun to watch her play. She has had a set back with planters fasciitis and has been in therapy. She is recovering faster then we had hoped. She wants to try out for competitive soccer soon. Time will tell.
Tayler has decided not to play soccer and try tumbling instead. She recently fell while playing in the backyard and fractures her collar bone. She has been in a collar brace and sling for almost 2 weeks and will have another xray to see if it has healed this Saturday. Other then that she is good.
Sam had found a new friend to play with. His name is JT. They are inseparable. As soon as she wakes I hear, "Can I call JT to play?" They are good friends and play everyday.
Brett recently lost his job and is looking hard to find a new one. He is finding it quite hard due to the economy. Our spirits are high and we know that it will take some time to find something but when he does it will be just what we need. He keeps busy with all the projects around the house and also helping his sister Karen with her projects.
Just like all of you we are so busy. I have tried in the past to dedicate an hour on Wednesdays to update my blog, facebook, email, etc. but have been so inconsistent. I am going to try much harder. I love hearing and seeing about how all my friends and family are doing. Keep it Up! Remember to Smile and Be Happy! Kari

Just a few things that have taken place since the New Year has started....Grandma Finally home from the hospital. Brett's Mom had to have surgery for some bowel problems. She became sick at the beginning of December, hospitalized in January, and came home a week ago. We are so happy she is doing better.

Parker finished her biography report. She chose Dallas Friday a well known wakeboarder known in the X Games circuit amoung other things. Parker loves many different sports activities but is also a girly girl. She is a well rounded mix of both her parents.

Alexa finished her Science Project on "Our Tongues Threshold". It was fun working with her on this project. We had fun and actually enjoyed each others company. She even told me she had fun working with me. Wow! I was surprised! She is such a beautiful young lady and finds the fun in everything she does.

" Lucy" my parents dog came with my parents when they came to visit us. She is the cutest dog ever and we love her to death. We also love when my parents come too??!! Just Kidding

Our little man is growing up so fast. We bought him his first suit and he looked so handsome we snapped a shot. He is so funny and loves the attention. Logan often reminds me so much of Brett it makes my heart skip.

That's it so far but much, much more to come. Love to all who watch our family blog.

Christmas at Temple Square

Thought everyone would like to see what Salt Lake Temple Square looks like during the hoildays. Obviously it is better in person but I think Brett got some really great shots. May we all remember the true meaning of Christmas and how blessed we are this season. Have a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year. Love to All, The Lockhart's

HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY TO LOGAN!!!

We had lots of fun!

Logan got a special surprise for his birthday this year. He burnt his hand on the stove. Its a flat top electric burning stove and they stay hot for awhile after you turn them off. He loves to watch me cook and when I finished, I moved the hot pot to the back burner and turned off the front one I was using, he put his hand flat on the burner I had just turned off. He was trying to reach the pot on the back I had just moved. It was so sad. I am so glad Brett was home to help. Logan was in pain for some time and couldn't stop crying. We immediately put ice on it and then burn creme and a bandage. Needless to say he is much better today and he really did have fun on his birthday. Brett got Logan his first toy gun. A little shotgun that has darts. He loved shooting his sisters. Payback has begun!!

Thanksgiving has come and gone and I did not take any pictures except for these. Oreos for breakfast the next day. What an awful mom I am. Oh well kids are kids for only so long and its fun to do something out of the ordinary.

A couple of cheese balls. I can't believe that Alexa is going to be 12 next year. CRAZY!!

Parker and Tayler couldn't get enough cookies. I stopped them at 15. J/K They had 5 each.

Halloween '08

We had a great Halloween. The weather was perfect, no snow, hooray!! Traditional tacos and lots of candy.

Having fun with my cute little boy

Having a boy is so much fun. He is the best!!

Fall Fun!

On our way to mirror lake, we stopped and took a hike!

Easter

You will see a new slide show to the left. For my birthday my sister Kristen invited me to go to Wicked in LA and to stay with her. I had a blast. We talked, stayed up late, got manicure and pedicures, talked, got our makeup done, went to the swapmeet, talked and tons more. It was great to have some time to myself and re-energized for the family waiting back at home. Wicked was an amazing play. It was very unexpected. I loved being in CA and seeing everything. It was beautiful. When I got back home to UT I went to my mom and dads to stay with the kids leaving Brett behind to work. We had fun relaxing and spending time with them. Easter come up fast. The kids had fun finding eggs and Logan could care less. With the snow pretty much gone all he wants to do is go outside to play. He loves swinging and loves to jump. We are hoping he gets some hops in order to play basketball like his dad. Konrad come over on sunday to have easter dinner and spend time. We love when he comes over. He always brings toys to play with or movies he has downloaded or and ofcourse laundry. I really have enjoyed having family around me once again.
