Mother's Day

 Chad and I both got to spend time with our mom's this past weekend.  We are so blessed to have amazing mother's and grandmother's.

 My St. George family all came up for a visit to celebrate Schaeffer's 2nd Birthday.  We loved having everyone here and he loved all of the extra attention he got.

He is pretty excited to be a 2 year old and we love watching him grow up.

Schaeffer turns 2!!

 I can't look at this little face and not smile.  I love this little mama's boy more than I ever could have imagined.  He is so cuddly and snuggly with the most infectious laugh.  He's got a temper paired with a tender little heart.  He keeps us on his toes with his fun little personality and we can't imagine our family without him.

We all woke him up this morning and brought him down to have a pancake breakfast.  Chad and I had to go to work but his sweet babysitter Karen made sure to give him the birthday treatment at her house.  That night grandma and grandpa Ashby came over and aunt McCall was able to stop by for a little party.  We sent Schaeffer and Leighton on a scavenger hunt to find his presents and they were so cute and excited to race from room to room.  For dessert we had root beer floats and cupcakes.  It was a perfect night for our perfect little boy!!!

 So excited for his new glove and ball

Celebrating 60 Years

Happy Anniversary!!

Some more Easter

We had a great extra long weekend in St. George this past week.  They waited to celebrate Easter until we got there.  The weather was perfect.  We played outside and soaked up every bit of sunshine that we could.  We had our 2nd Annual headlamp Easter egg hunt.  The kids loved it and found lot's of goodies.  Saturday we got together with the extended family and had another egg hunt and ate a great meal together.

 Tried to get some Spring pictures of the kids.  Got cute ones individually but not together..darn it.

 Finding Easter basket's Sunday after church.

 Family egg hunt in Spanish Fork

 This picture sums up this kids personality perfectly right now.  He is so cute I kinda can't handle it though.

 Something is off in this picture but it's us.  Happy Easter everyone!

Sorry for the FB duplicates :)

 One of my favorite things in the month of January was spending 2 days in Park City for the Sundance film festival.  I was literally this close to Alicia Keys and it was awesome!  We saw tons of other stars but she was the only one I really took a picture of.

 We celebrated Leighton's birthday quite a few times this past month.  She means the world to our family and it's fun to make her feel special.

 New Year's was a ton of fun.  We celebrated past 1am which is a huge thing for Chad.

 Schaeffer is nearing his terrible two's and it is scaring us.  Seriously this kid has some anger.  I think it could be a challenge some days.

 More celebrating Leighton's birthday.

 Playing with my new camera and some of the settings.

Leighton had her friend party and Lowe's Xtreme Air Sports.
