Court of Honor, March 2013

Carson received his second class and tenderfoot awards at the court of honor held last week for the scouts. Carson is a 11 year old scout and his leaders are amazing. They said he is farther then any other boy they have had and that by the time he turns 12 he should be half way to a Star. To put it in perspective Connor just barely earned his Star and he is 14. Carson works so hard in scouts and loves to learn and camp; he thrives in scouting.

Connor received several badges and his Life. He is doing well despite not a lot of motivation towards scouts but he is moving along and is on his way to his Eagle. When Connor gets involved in something he gives it his all and is always successful in his endeavors. I'm so proud of my boys!!

Region Basketball

If you know me then you know that I just LOVE basketball. I love every week playing the game and getting a great work out with some of the sweetest ladies I know. Our stake doesn't have a great response with women's sports but our ward always has a team and we were able to go to region along with a couple of ladies from the fourth ward. We did pretty good overall and ended up taking 2nd in region. My husband was so nice to give me up on our anniversary weekend to play in the final game which was a close one. I love the friendships that I have made and I'm looking forward to planning our basketball party which I throw every year for the team after region. Thanks ladies we rocked it this year!!

16 year Anniversary

March 7th was our 16 year wedding anniversary, Wow! I can't believe I've been married for that long, I still feel like I'm a young newlywed. We are so blessed as a couple and never take a day for granted. We have learned over the years when to let things go and to appreciate what each other brings to the marriage. I love that after this many years our disagreements don't last long and I would say we rarely fight. Some might think we bicker alot but we like to mess with each other and keep the other on their toes. I love that Warren gets my sense of humor and I can say the most random thing and he laughs along side of me. We make sure at least once a week we have a date night and really look forward to our time alone. It is so true what they say about a happy couple makes the best parents; we are better parents by putting our marriage first. I feel lucky every day that god blessed me with such a sweet, giving, and hardworking man. I love that he not only tells me that he loves me everyday but he shows me with the way he puts me first.
I had a lot of PTA responsibilities this week and even spent our anniversary most of the night at our school book fair but we took a minute late that night to go out for ice cream and talk. Then the next day my dad and bonus mom Jana took our kids for the weekend. Warren and I had a great time together watching movies, shopping, going to dinners, and I even had a region basketball game too.
I love that our marriage gets stronger every year and I look forward to each coming year that I have with my best friend, partner in crime, and lover. I love that our kids see our affection for one another so they know what a loving marriage looks like. I guess the only down side to that is that they are always yelling at us to "GET A ROOM"!!
