Summer Fun!

We had a beautiful sunny day two days ago and the kids and I took full advantage of it. (FYI- today is June 11th and it snowed this morning!) We pulled out our kiddie pools and our Elmo sprinkler and enjoyed some time in our backyard. The girls had a blast getting wet and running around. Brandon hated being put in the pool but loved sitting on the porch in his play saucer. And I must say he looked so darn cute in his board shorts swim suit! I hope for some more sunny days ahead so we can make this a summer routine. :)

Congrats Kaitlyn!

Congrats Kaitlyn on graduating from Mountain View High School! We were so happy to be able to travel to Arizona to see my little sister graduate a couple weeks ago. I can't believe my baby sister graduated and is off to Rexburg this fall. Man do I feel old.

Kait I love you and am so proud of you. You are the best sister I could ever ask for and you mean the world to me. I wish you luck in whatever you choose to do in life... well as long as it is with stuff I approve of! :)

I love you Kait and Go Toros!

Dance Recital

Last month Kaylie and Jadyn performed in their first dance recital. I was a very proud mother that day of them getting up and dancing on the stage in front of everyone. They looked so adorable in their performance costumes and they were so excited to have sparkle hairspray and make-up on. (Seriously if my girls could dress up everyday like those pagent kids they would be in heaven!) They did such a great job and my heart about burst to see them on stage.

I love my two little dancers!

Fun at the Dinosaur Park

It was the first beautiful day here in a while so the kids and I were anxious to finally spend some time in the sun and be outside. We went down to the Dinosaur Park in town since it is one of Kaylie and Jadyn's favorite places to go. Brandon absolutely loved it. He especially loved going on the swing for the first time. He was all giggles and smiles and it just melted my heart. The girls loved digging for dinosaur fossils in the sand and going on all of the different slides. The tire swing though wasn't as fun as they thought it would be. I really can't believe how big they are getting and the fact that they will be four years old soon. It was a lot of fun today and we hope to go back soon.

One thing I did notice at the park was that Brandon's little blonde head sure is like a magnet for the sun so we stopped and got him a new hat on the way home. He looked so darn cute I had to include the picture. I sure love my little guy and my two girls. :)

Happy Easter!

We had a wonderful Easter watching General Conference at home and having fun seeing what the Easter Bunny left at our house. At dinner the night before Easter Jadyn told me the Easter Bunny was going to bring her a chocolate chicken so at about 10 pm that night I was scouring the isles of Walmart looking for one. Luckily the Easter Bunny did not fail and Jadyn got her chocolate chicken! I just love watching Kaylie and Jadyn's face when they come down the stairs to see what he brought. It was a lot of fun having it be Brandon's first Easter and adding a new little Easter basket to the mix. I don't think life could get any better than that. :)

Oh! And for those who don't know- I am a brunette now! Added above is a picture of my new dark hair.

Happy 30th Birthday Timmy!

Tim turned the big 3-0 on March 24th. The kids and I hurried home from dance class to throw Tim a surprise birthday party when he came home for lunch. Kaylie and Jadyn helped me make a big banner for the front of our porch for Tim to see as he pulled up. The girls had picked out a little birthday cake (of course it was pink) and we set up a few decorations around the kitchen. We got on our party hats and had a fun time yelling surprise when he walked through the door. It honestly was such a fun time celebrating Tim's birthday with just our little family and seeing how excited the girls got.

We had a family dinner at a Mexican restaurant here in town that night and then had a big birthday party for all of Tim's friends a few days later where we had dessert and watched March Madness. It was a lot of fun. :)

Brandon's Baby Blessing

On February 13, 2010 Tim blessed our sweet baby boy here in Bozeman. I was so happy that my parents were able to come as well as Tim's sister Debbie and her family, whom all live out of state. Tim gave a beautiful blessing and it made me so thankful to be married to a worthy priesthood holder and to have the gospel of Jesus Christ in my life. It was a wonderful day to be surrounded by so many loved ones.
