Happy 1st Birthday Hadlee!!

Wow this year flew by! It seems like yesterday we were doing just doing this,
Now she is all grown up and doing this!!!






She is such a blessing in our family. She has brought us closer together, we laugh at her constantly and can't imagine life without her. She is a handful and is a one girl tornado. She is curious about everything and will leave no corner or cupboard or shelf undiscovered. Some of the things she is doing now: She is walking 1-3 steps at time, show's she's 1 on her hand, show's off her muscles, dances and loves music. She has 4 teeth, still no hair, and loves to lick the bottom of shoes!! I guess that builds up her immune system right?? Anyway, she brings an amazing amount of joy to our lives and we love her so much! Happy Birthday Hadlee!

Time to catch up!!

I hate when I do this. Wait so long to update that I am overwhelmed and don't want to do it. But this is for you all who still blog rather than FB!! May came and went.
I went on a fantastic girls weekend to San Diego! Kids got out of school and passed!! Pony Express Day's, Strawberry Day's and Lava Hot Springs and Fathers day! Oh what a busy time. Hadlee is crawling and into EVERYTHING! I swear she is like a the energizer bunny that never runs out of energy. She has two bottom teeth and smiles all the time. She also found her wave, she loves to wave hi to everyone that comes in the room. She is a doll though so we'll keep her. Colby made his league soccer team again and Rylee is changing locations on Riding lessons, but still loves it.
I got put into Young Women's so I just went to Girls Camp last week. It was a blast, we are lucky to have Wonderful young women. They inspire me to be better! Here are a few pictures to catch up!


We had so much fun! Thanks Marcae for being the hostess with the mostess!!! I have been blessed to have the best Friends in my life! Thanks again guys :)


Me and my kids at Pony Express days Fireworks, in our front yard! Its the best.


Hadlee had her first taste of Swinging and loves it! Rylee always loves being outside and now even funner when her Little sis can swing too!


Hadlee never just sits there, she is always moving, crawling, climbing through over and under anything she can.

Colby did his first race. A 5K for Pony Express Day's and he did awesome! He even beat his mom and Kip. Way to go Colbs!!

Laren and Colby down at the 40.

We went to Idaho for Memorial Day.

Summer is officially here!









I had twins for about 1 day and a half, that was enough!! They were great most of the time ;) I don't know how you twin moms do it!!

Nothing like a backyard campout!
Here is all the fun had at Lava Hot Springs!!





Me and my girls!! I am the luckiest mom ever!

March........

Wow I am so behind, I will try to do a over view of March. Lets see....
Laren had a Birthday!!! He is not one for big parties but he agreed that this year was his best Birthday yet. Not because of me showering him with presents (because I didn't) or because he is still so young (which he is not)but because we got to spend a wonderful weekend together with lots of our family and close friends. Our kids love him and so do I. I am so grateful that he is in my life and thankful for all he does for our family. I love you babe, Happy Birthday!





What also made this weekend very special is that we were able to go to the Temple and be Sealed! This was such a wonderful experience for us and we were so grateful to share it with our family and friends. It took a while for us to get hear but we are now in it for Eternity!! I love my little family and I can't imagine spending eternity without them! That day was so perfect and It just reaffirmed my testimony in the Gospel. Our Heavenly Father does watch out for us and hears and answers our prayers. I am so grateful for the Gospel in my our lives and that families can be together forever!

So we finished up with JR JAZZ!! Both kids played this year. Rylee did really well for her first year and Colby did really good not to get to hot tempered! We loved going to games and watching them play. Rylee was a great defender, even when she was on offense :).

Two cute girls! Hadlee is starting to give Kisses, and Rylee is the only one that can make her laugh. She is warming up to the rest of us. Apparently we are not that funny!

Rylee stayed home from school sick one day. She said mom I am feeling better and I would like you to come sit down so that I can take care of you since you have been taking care of me while I am sick. She said sit down and just relax! She rubbed my feet with lotion and then painted my toe nails and fingernails. I let her pick out the colors and so therefore I got, every other toe and finger painted two different colors. It was BEAUTIFUL!! Thanks Rylee for the pampering!

Valentines & Saint George!

For Presidents Day and Valentines weekend we ran down to Saint George to get some Sun and family fun! That is exactly what we got. Colby also had a soccer tournament down there to so we enjoyed watching him play. Cody, Erin Keegan and Chloe some of our favorite people came from Vegas to hang out and play to. Rylee Jayne can't get enough of these kids. She loves when they get to play together. Thanks Skye for letting us stay at your house. We had a wonderful time. Here are some fun pictures from that weekend.
For Valentines, Ashley volunteered to babysit Rylee and Hadlee, due to the fact that her valentine had not come home from his mission yet....I think 13 days or something were left!! Thanks Ashley next year you can join the grown up date night for valentines with your lover!!!

Just a few of my sisters that I love very much!

My hottie, my Valentine whom I also love very much!

We went to this amazing Steak Place called Anasazi. It was delicious!

I made pink heart Pancakes for breakfast! Rylee loved them. She also loves her uncles!! We were talking and I don't remember who asked rylee who her valentine was but she thought about it and said..... Uncle Logan. :) I laughed and said well you better ask Nat on that one. So she did. Nat said she would share him with Rylee this year. Then Logan made Rylee the cutest little card that said "Will you be my Valentine"?? Rylee loved it! Thanks Uncle Logie!!



Ginny and Hadlee having a stare down!

Hadlee absolutely hated rice cereal, but bring on the food, she will eat it up if she gets any in her mouth. She is so much fun.
