July 24th Weekend…

We had a great weekend up Millcreek Canyon at the Lodge and swimming pool where Warren’s dad works. We spent the  night there and had two days of fun at the pool.  We also played on the lake, shot guns, watched movies, rode bikes, ate great food, and most of all had a great time with family!

Soccer-Parade-Boating

So July 17th was such a fun and busy day starting out with Carson playing in his first Sparta Soccer game of the year. It was so fun to watch him, and as soon as his game ended we hopped in the car and drove downtown to be in the days of  47’ Children’s Parade. We made it just in time. The kids had a lot of fun and both of my parents even saw us on T.V. It was a very hot and busy morning and even harder with daddy being gone to school that day. We arrived back home in the afternoon to get a phone call from my brother-in-law Josh inviting us to go boating with them at Rockport Reservoir. Warren was on his way home from school so we jumped at the offer and hurried there to meet them. We had so much fun playing in the water. It was such a fun occasion because Brynlee and Carson knee-boarded for the first time. And Carson being the show off he is even pulled off several 360’s. Baylee was even feeling a little confident watching all the kids and wanted to try to kneeboard too; but once we put her on the board she started to freak out. I was so impressed with her wanting to try I told her what a big girl she was! The bummer of the boating trip was me forgetting my camera in the car so I couldn't take pictures of these fun little moments on the water. We unloaded out of the water around sunset and finished the night off with my sister and her family at in and out, YUM! What a great day, and the best part of it all was watching my kids doing fun things for the FIRST time!!

Herriman 5k Run…

June 27th I ran my second 5k but not with the same success as the first one. I had the flu for two days prior and also the morning of still not good. I knew I had to give it a try anyway but lesson learned don’t run if your body isn’t healthy. I had to walk a lot and my body was telling me to just stop moving. I felt horrible and my body felt even worse. I cried the whole way home because I was so disappointed in my run. Two days prior to the run I met my sister at the route of this 5k run and we ran it together to see how it would go. We both ran it together successfully and had a great time. So I guess this was a good lesson for me to learn that things don’t always go as planned and that I shouldn’t be so hard on myself at least I made it across the finish line.

I love you Tooth Fairy…

Brynlee had a great week, she lost two teeth two days in a row. The first night the tooth fairy left her $1.50. The next day Brynlee was very disappointed in what was left for her. Later that day she lost her second tooth and was very excited. So late that night the tooth fairy sneaked into her room only to find this on Bryn lee's pillow..

It was a note that read:

I love you tooth Firy, Love Brynlee next tooth Firy iF you Give Me- 10 Bucks I’ll Give you this tooth thak’s tooth Firy yor the Best. (then she drew a cute picture of her and the tooth Fairy) this is Facke Moniy – you can keepe – it xoxoxo

The tooth fairy left Brynlee a two dollar bill and she was very happy to take it even if it wasn't a ten dollar bill! How cute is that I can just picture her in her room working so hard on this note and so excited for the tooth fairy to find it. I love being a Mom!

Here she is the next day showing off her missing front teeth!

Carson is NINE !!

Carson turned 9 on June 21st. We had a fun backyard water party with games and our blowup waterslide. The kids had so much fun and Carson loved having  his friends over.  We also went out to dinner as a family and Carson chose his favorite Restraunt El Matador in Bountiful! We celebrated with my family and this weekend we celebrate with Warren’s family. So Carson is spoiled with lots of little celebrations! Carson is so special to our family here are nine reasons why…. 1)  he’s loving 2)  he’s helpful 3)  he’s so darn cute 4) he’s emotional 5) he’s a go-getter 6) he’s my candy monster 7) he’s very talented at soccer 8) he dreams big 9) he has a sweet spirit!  I knew the moment that they laid him in my arms that he would be a great blessing to our family. He teaches me so much everyday and I’m proud to be his mommy! I love you Carsey Lou Lou!

Baylee is Three!!

My sweet, yummy, fiesty, impossible, active, beautiful, adventureous, sassy, ridiculously smart little monkey turned three on June 5th! I continue to call her my baby, yes I’m in total denial. It’s so sad yet rewarding to watch these precious children of mine grow up. She had a great day with family and friends swimming and playing. Warren and I gave her a bike and she received a lot of nice gifts from everyone at her party! I really love the first picture of her because it shows off her wild personality. She is such a joy and a Blessing to our family. As much as Warren and I joke that if she were our first child we would have stopped with her she keeps our family on our toes! I love you Baylee and am so lucky to be your mom!

A Special Day…

Warren had a great opportunity last Saturday to baptize and Confirm and also Bless his Cousin Mandy’s two kids! It was such a great day for their family! Warren was so honored to do this for his Cousin and he did such a great job! I am so lucky to have a husband who honors his priesthood and can not only bless the lives of our family but bless the lives of these two sweet children! I know his Aunt Tammy was very pleased!
