Lehi Days-warning SOME SCARY PICS

If you know me at all, you know I LOVE little town celebrations in the summer! This week we went to Lehi days parade and the rodeo! The kids love the parade I think as much as I do, I can't seem to convince Jake that it really is fun. He loves to say that is my bonding time with the kids, um.....whatever makes you feel good honey!! Anyway, it was darling, the little ward floats are so so cute. The kids had a good time and got lots of candy!

All of us at the Lehi Days parade! Mom, July, Jennifer, Alecia and the kiddos, and my cute neighbor friend Angie and her kids, my kids, and Jaden and Quinci!


Waiting for the candy!


Awww......what cute little cousins!


All of us at the Rodeo, thanks July for watching the kiddos so we could have a fun little date!! Jake says the rodeo is his favorite thing of the summer! Glad we were able to go!


Okay, seriously how hard is it to get a good pic with my husband, well take a look and see!


Me and mom, and my dorky husband in the background!


All I can say is WOW, are you serious??


Even Che' got into the "what they think is fun!" Sheesh!

IT'S A..............................................................

HEALTHY BABY!!!
I'll admit, I was pretty disappointed when Jake told me he wasn't going to be able to make it to the ultrasound because of some emergency at work that needed to be done, but was so glad that my mom was there. We LOVE LOVE LOVE not finding out what we are having, but LOVE more than that hearing that the baby is strong and HEALTHY! The kids were facinated with the ultrasound and saw the baby moving and even kicking me, they thought it was so funny! I love being pregnant, love the feeling of this little one inside of me. We are so grateful that the baby is healthy!



This is the one time that we did find out what we were having. I think I just needed to know if I was having 3 boys in a row, not that that would be a bad thing, to be honest my boys are easier than sweet little Mya. We wanted to invite mom and July that day so they could share the excitement. I just love this pic of us all!

Happy Happy Day to my Dally Goo

Our little Dally Goo! Where do I start with this kid? He is the sweetest, most loving little boy EVER! Life with Dallin is just so much more fun and sweet! I want to tell him how very much I love him and thankful I am to be his momma. He is the best little bro and big bro to Taylor and Mya. My favorite thing about Dallin is his love for life, Dallin never worries about things, he's just thinking about who he gets to play with next or what fun thing he gets to do. He's always been such a good little friend. He really is our sweet little gooey goo, that's what we call him. Happy 6th birthday Dallin, we love you so much!

So so cute, Dallin with is Doggie cake! This year he wanted a Doggie birthday in honor of our Dutchy!


He's eating his very favorite thing, SMORES!!!


His 5 year old "Cars Cars birthday!"


I love Dallin's sense of humor!

Isn't he just handsome!

Okay, so the parties, yes we had two, a friend one and a family one. Thanks to Grandma Sis and her condo club house and pool, the kids had the best day! The party was filled with pizza, pinata, swimming, playing, and fun! Thanks to all of his friends that came and helped us celebrate Dallin's special day.


Is this not the cutest cake EVER!! Jenny you are amazing, thank you, thank you, thank you!! There's a big long story behind the mess of making the cake, basically it ended up being rice krispie treats under all that, which actually I thought was better than cake and my friend Jenny worked her butt off. I can't thank you enought sweet friend!


The fam!! Look at the pregnant belly hanging out, woo hoo! We LOVED the cake!


Each friend got to take home a sack with a dog bowl, a stuffed dog, Bone shaped crayons, and dog tattoos for the boys, and a little pet shop dog or puppies in my pocket, a dog bowl, bone shaped crayons, and dog tattoos for the girls. They loved them!

Happy Father's Day

This was a great Father's Day this year! Not only is Jake the best daddy to our kids, but I am so proud to have the sweet and amazing dad that I do. I love more than anything the way that my kids get excited whenever Jake comes home from work, and the way they aboslutely ADORE him! He always makes sure to play with the kids everyday and loves to spend quality time with them. They are so lucky and blessed to have this amazing man as their father.

Ever since I was little I have always been a daddy's girl!! I LOVE my dad with every ounce of my heart and would do anything for him. I love his love for life, the great outdoors, for art, for his family, and for my little family. He loves his grandkids and always supports them in their different activities. Sure do love you dad!


My sweet dad!




Grandpa with the kiddos in Canyonlands, our favorite place that because of him we go to every year!


Jake was so excited to set up his tent that we got him for Father's Day. We were in some serious need for this tent since we have lots of camping trips planned this summer! Taylor also made him a cute little notebook from school and Dallin gave him some smelly spray stuff he got at the parade, and Mya kept giving him kisses on his "whisks" as she says, for whiskers! It was really cute!


Jake, Terry, and Grandpa Murph! I just LOVE this picture!

I am so thankful for Jake's dad! He has always been so great to us and the kids. He is so easy to talk to and loves spending time with us. Love ya Terry!


Mya and Grandpa Murph!


Yummy fruit pizza I made for dessert!
