Loving Life!

 Other than nap time we spend all day every day outside playing with friends.  I wish I got as many compliments on my tan as Schaeffer does.

 No Joke Scheaffer is in love with this little girl.  I don't blame him, she is beautiful!

 Their favorite rides!

 Leighton is doing great in gymnastics, just don't ask her to show you anything...because she won't.

 Some of the neighborhood kids.

 This pony tent has come out of retirement.  I loved this thing when I was a little girl and now she is having so much fun in it.  Thank goodness for grandma and grandpa who were smart enough to save it.

Now that he is 1 and finally walking I bought him some shoes.  He looks so stinking cute in them too.  They are a pair of little blue converse.

My kids are learning fast why we love summer around here!

Mother's Day

 I'm so thankful I have the opportunity to be a mother.  These 2 little kids mean everything and more to me.

These are some of the best Mom's out there.  I am lucky enough to call them my grandma, mom, aunts, and sister in law.  So grateful for their examples in my life and for all of the other amazing women that I'm able to rub shoulders with.  I'm surrounded by amazing ladies and feel like I always have been.  For that I am blessed!

Sleeping like babies

We've been in St. George since Thursday night.

It's now Saturday afternoon and these 2 have been going non stop.

They both finally crashed and I couldn't help but take some pictures.

Schaeffer "slept like a baby" all through Wal Mart.

Leighton couldn't handle it any longer and fell asleep coloring with Grandpa.

I'm sure glad that my kids love coming here as much as I do.

Happy Mother's Day to all of you awesome mom's out there!

Big boy turns 1

My favorite little boy turns 1.

We put together an "Under the Sea" party to celebrate the big day.

We had all of our favorite people over for dinner and a little fun.

Schaeffer got some fun toys (sandbox, wiggle car, slip n slide, some cute clothes and lot's of other fun toys).

He actually really liked his cake.  He sat there and ate it for quite awhile.

Now we just need this little boy to walk!  He is pretty stubborn when it comes to practicing.

Love you Schaeffer Buddy!!!

Green River Utah with Neighborhood Friends

Exploring for wild animals. We even found a scary snake.

Group shot at Goblin Valley

Nasty picture but a really good smore.

Family picture in front of Haley's cabin.

The adults and my crazy baby. He was ecstatic to be at the top of those stairs.

Officially Easter :)

The Easter Bunny likes to bring our family summer clothes and swimsuits.

Man, I think he is so dang cute!

We made bird nest sugar cookies.

Showing off the finished product

The Washington City Easter Egg Hunt.

My parents started a random but fun new Easter tradition. They hid 100 eggs in their backyard at night and we had to all come out with headlamps on to find them.

Early Easter

We celebrated Easter a week early with the Ashby's because everyone will be gone next weekend. We celebrated McCall's birthday and also celebrated the last time we will be together until late August. McCall is headed to Uganda for the summer. The kids had a great time finding eggs and and coloring eggs.
