T-Ball Game

T-ball season started while we were vacationing in Utah. Ethan caught right up with the team and had a great time.


This is Daniel. He was on Ethan's soccer team last season. They have lots of fun together. Daniel's mom works with Kent at the dental office.


Erin designed this logo for the Dental Clinic. She did such a great job. The recreation center used the logo on the t-shirts for three different teams. Aren't they awesome? Way to go, Erin!

Home Sweet Home

It's so nice to be home to let the kids play in the backyard while I get unpacked and work on laundry.

Homecoming

For my parents homecoming, it was nice to have almost the whole family together. We were only missing my nephew, Brandon. He has an honorable excuse as he is currently serving a full time mission in Atlanta, Georgia. My dad and mom gave wonderful testimonies at church about their experiences in Fiji and the true Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints. I am so thankful for their teachings as a young girl and now as a mother and wife. I am so blessed to have a beautiful family that I can be with for eternity.

Happy Birthday, Amy

Yesterday was my sister-in-law, Amy's, birthday. I didn't forget, I just didn't have a computer to post it until today.

Amy was my roommate that introduced me to her little brother, Kent. I am so thankful to Amy for so many things. She has been an amazing friend to me. We have definitely had our ups and downs but I have learned so much from Amy. We have had the opportunity to have our two children close together to share our pregnancy and motherhood joys and problems. I just found out Amy is pregnant again. This time she goes alone. I am so happy for you, Amy. You are an incredible mother, a loving wife, and a true friend. I am thankful to have you in my life. I hope your birthday was a good one.

Happy Birthday, Jax

Today is my nephew's birthday. He is the cutest kid. At age five, he is already a great little athlete. He is so handsome too. Happy Birthday buddy! Since this is the latest picture we have of you, we hope to see you soon!

"Happy Valley"

A "Utah" trip just is NOT complete without spending a day on BYU campus. The kids had a great time (whenever I say "kids"- that is excluding Ella. She never had a great time). Here's Ethan in front of Cosmo's van!

Sorry this picture isn't the best.

We ate lunch at Brick Oven. All the kids got one of Brick Oven's famous suckers.

We had lots of fun swimming and roasting marshmellows. Actually this is one thing Ella did enjoy!


I was able to meet up with some good friends. On the left is my friend Holly from Jr. High and High school. I had so much fun catching up with her and hearing all of the great things she's been doing. On the right is my bestest friend, Nicole. I just love her so much. I always want more "Nicole time."

I had so much fun spending time with Rhonda and laughing so hard! She is such a good friend and I'm thankful we keep in touch. Rhonda, Nicole and I went to see "Get Smart." It was so fun to have a girl's night out. Miss you!

Utah County... Here we come!

The weekend at Bear Lake was great- minus the fact that Ella beat up every one of her cousins that was 3 and under. HELP ME! Now the kids and I are heading from Logan to Alpine to visit friends and family that have yet to be terrorized by my lovely daughter. All in all, we had a great time! Here are SOME of the MANY pictures I took... enjoy!

Happy 4th of July

I am thankful to live in this country and my heart goes out to all of those in the armed forces. Thank you! May God be with you and your families.


I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend. We spent the weekend at my family's cabin at Bear Lake. Most of the time we were down at the beach trying to cool off.


Uncle Greg (my brother) gave all the kids glow-in-the-dark necklaces to wear to the firework show. Sorry the pictures are blurry.

Happy Birthday, Mavrick

Today we went to my nephew, Mavrick's, birthday party.
Myrick worked very hard and the kids had a ball! Happy Birthday Mavrick. You are such a happy and fun boy. I can't believe you are already seven!!!

Dad and Mom are home!

I am now with my family in Utah. My parents came home from their mission last night. The airport was so fun (in theory- Ella was a mess). All of the grandkids had darling little matching outfits. We had "Bula" signs and balloons.

The kids were so anxious to see grandma and grandpa. When they arrived, it was as if they never left. The kids were so excited to talk to them and hug them. After the airport we went to Chuck-A-Rama and filled up about 10 tables! There was lots of food, lots of noise and lots of catching up going on. I stayed with the kids, Kent will join us next week, at my oldest brother, Jeff's, house. Ella fell asleep on the car ride to Logan and stayed asleep until 9:00 this morning. Thank heavens!
