Soccer & Babies

Carson just finished his U10 year in Sparta. Not a good year in terms of the team he was on but overall Carson keeps improving his skills as a soccer player. He is so fun to watch and is truly talented at this sport. Carson wants to move on to football next but the Sparta coaches have called us and really want Carson to come back to soccer. For sure Carson will play football this fall and maybe he will continue with soccer on the off season we will have to wait and see.

We have been having such a fun time babysitting my niece Rylee this past month. She is such a sweetie and is so loved at our house. We all fight over who gets to hold her!

Memorial Day Weekend....

My sister talked me into going on a run Saturday morning. It was beautiful, we ran along a dirt road that overlooked Bear Lake. It was fun running with someone, she pushed me into running four miles, it felt great!

Warren taking a well deserved nap!

Brynlee and Kami wanting to be big like the boys and camp out. It was a first for Brynlee to sleep in a tent by herself. It didn't last too long, she ended up coming in the trailer because the rain kept her up all night.

Baylee & Korbin with Grandpa!

Connor, Carson, and Kaden mostly spent their time carving sticks with their pocketknives. They spent all three nights out in a tent and even had their tent collapse on them Saturday night due to the couple inches of snow that fell. They dried it out the next day and slept in it again the next night. They are die hards, it was really cold!

So this year we braved the cold and went camping with my Dad and Jana and my sister and her family. We had a great time, despite the cold. We stayed in the St. Charles campground in Idaho on Bear Lake. It definitely was a first for our family to be at Bear Lake and not go swimming. It was coat weather all weekend but we made the best of it.

The Man I Love...

I have the most amazing husband who is so loving and so thoughtful. I have been thinking alot lately about him and what a treasure he is to me. He teaches me everyday to not sweat the small stuff and to get lost in service. I started to make a list in my head of the past week or two of what my husband has been up to:

1- Fixed a divorced mother of four's sprinkling system
2-Also put air in her riding lawnmowers tires
3-Fixed our friends lawnmower
4- Fixed a family whom he home teaches lawnmower
5- Helped the neighbor move an electric motor scooter for his dad who had a stroke
6- Fixed the neighbors tiller
7- Then took the tiller to the ward service proj. and tilled the other neighbors garden
8- Then fixed a leaky faucet for another divorced mother of two whom he home teaches
9- And he is currently remodeling the bathroom of my first counselor in the primary presidency

This list is nothing unusual around my house, this is our life. I have to remind myself often that when he is gone it's for the good of others. Warren tells me this is who he is and what he is meant to do. I am truly lucky to be his wife. Our family is so blessed because of the never ending service that is rendered by this remarkable man that is my eternal companion for time and all eternity!

Easter

The day before Easter we spent the day at Grandma & Grandpa White's house. We did yard work, stuffed Easter eggs, cooked yummy food, played with cousins, planned our family Disneyland trip, and had a hall of an Easter egg hunt!

Easter morning at are house was early due to church starting at nine am. As you can tell it was not a fun morning with little Ms. Baylee; she cried for an hour and a half before church. We will know better next year and let the princess sleep in. After church we stopped by Nana Cherie's house and then went to Grandpa Riches and Jana's for a Birthday dinner for my Dad. It was a great day spent with family and most importantly remembering our Savior Jesus Christ and his Resurrection!

Rain Rain Go Away....

This month has been more than a little bit rainy but so many special things have happened in our family like the birth of my sweet little niece Rylee! Congrats to my brother Garrett & Holly!

Then Carson took third place in the pinewood derby and also had a very special singing program in school!

Brynlee & Baylee had their spring dance recital and both did a superb job!

April 19th I had my 33rd Birthday! The night before after the girls dance recital a bunch of us went to Wingers to celebrate my birthday. We had a great time. Then on my actual birthday I started the day off with a three mile run, then my friend Sarah and I took our kids to see the movie Hop. Then Warren and I took Brynlee to her second recital to dance and then we dropped her off and headed to the movies. It was a perfect day, spent with all the people I love most!

This week is spring break for my kids and it has rained pretty much every day. We have still braved the cold and headed to the park for a run for me and the skate park for the kids! This sweet picture is Baylee and my nephew George all bundled up for the run. I babysit George on Wednesdays and Thursdays, I think this week has been more fun for him with all the kids being home to spoil him!

14 Year Anniversary!

March 7th was our 14 year Anniversary! We started our celebration on Friday with the kids going to my dad's for the weekend. We had a great time together just hanging out watching movies, going to movies, dinners, cabela's, a baby shower for my soon to be niece, and sleeping in! We usually go out of town but things are tight so we did things around town. It didn't really matter where we were, we just really enjoyed each other. We are so good and our love is stronger today than it was 14 years ago. I have the most amazing husband! I could have never of dreamt to be this lucky. He treats me like a queen and I love the way we laugh together every day! I'm so excited for our future together, things are finally looking up for us. Warren just accepted a job as a superintendent for KNP Construction. We have been so dirt poor the past few months that we have had to get help paying our bills. I know with out a doubt that our Prayers have been answered! I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for his kindness and love for us, the Atonement is real and I am so Humbled.

On Monday the 7th my brother Skyler returned home from his mission. We are so excited for him and proud of the hard work that he has put into his mission. He is such a great example to me and my family and we are excited for his future. Welcome Home Sky, we love you!!

February Fun!

Valentine's Day the kids had the day off of school so Warren and I took them to Pirate Island Pizza in Orem. We had the best time as a family, Warren and I decided that this year we would have valentines day with the kids instead of going out together alone. I'm so glad that we did, the kids were so excited, we didn't tell them where we were going. The drive was full of questions and guesses of where we were headed and when we pulled up to Pirate Island Pizza they were so excited. The past few months have been really hard financially on our family so we were very blessed to scrounge up a little money to do this for the kids.


Connor hit jackpot while we were there!



Connor just finished rec basketball on Saturday, it was quite fun to watch. Connor was on a team with some of his football friends. Connor really improved by the end of the season, he was scoring baskets every game. Connor is so talented I can't wait to see what he does next!

Carson and his grandma Ohma made this cake for the Blue and Gold Banquet on Saturday. He is so proud, he even decorated most of it. Can you tell he loves football? What a cute kid, love his smile!
