Happy Birthday Elle's and Zoseph

It's become a tradition that me and Dall take Ellie out for her birthday.  This year I was super excited because we made a darling book for Ellie's birthday that was all about Dallin and Ellie growing up.  These two are truly amazing, they are so creative together, their imaginations are my absolute fav.  I LOVE more than anything that me and Myken (My BFF) have our kids that our BFF's.  SOOOO fun. 

 Me and Mya made one for Zoes birthday too that was a couple of weeks ago, sure love that these four have each other.  BFF's FOREVER!!!!!

Girls Night Out

Kristen, Kellie, and Angie all have May birthday's so we had our little girls night out going to the Cheesecake Factory and to the movie "The Great Gatsby!"  I always look so forward to these nights, honestly I think it makes me a better wife and momma to have some girl time with my besties. 

I'm so grateful for these two in my life.  Angie and Kristen are amazing friends, always there to chat and to share a good time.  Sure love my besties!! (not pictured is my bestest bestie Myken who of couse I love) but these two definitely are next.  Love them both so much!

A super duper cool bike ride

Dallin and Jaden were stoked when I told them they could ride on their bikes from our house to Jaden's (with me following them of course because of the busy roads)!!  I clocked it and it's about 4 miles.....they did awesome and were super duper proud of themselves when they were done.  I love more than anything that these two are BFF's, Jaden is honestly the sweetest most perfect kid ever. Glad the boys had a great time!

How cute is this pic of Wilson snuggling Jaden, he loves him just like another Bro, it's adorable.

Dodgeball

The other day we went to this fun place called the wAIRhouse for Brightons 5th birthday.  The kids had a blast, so did Jake.  He started a dodgeball fight with all the kids and men, it was hilarious.  I only heard a few crys, mostly lots and lots of laughs. 

Petting zoo

I love that my mom has a Thanksgiving point pass, we aer definitely going to take advantage of it this year.  We decided to take the kids to the petting zoo, even little Livvy came.  Wilson and Mya were in heaven riding on the horsey's and feeding the ducks.

Furture Artist

My little miss Mya bugs is such a great artist, look how darling she drew our family.  This will hang on the wall with pride for sure.  Good job Myita!

Fancy

Jake and I did end up going out and being a tad more fancy than IN N OUT burger, ha ha!  We used to go to the Tree Room at Sundance all the time, its been a super long time since we had so we decided it would be nice.  Of course I got my all time fav.....the Pepper Steak and Berries and custard for dessert, seriously AMAZING!!  Jake tried the buffalo (YUCK) and he loved it.

I am so grateful for this man, for our experiences, our journey, our amazing life, our beautiful opportunity of being parents to amazing kids, and for our unconditional love for each other.  We have been through a lot of things, good and bad, and through it all, never ever have I questioned our love for one another.  I have known Jake for 27 years, we have literally grown up together, gone through change together, and have seen and experienced truly amazing beautiful things.  I love you Jake, with every ounce of my heart and soul!

Happy Day to us

I think you should call the day you get married if it's the same year you are married your Golden Anniversary right?  Well Jake and I got married May 16th and we celebrated our 16 year anniversary so to me it was our Golden :)  We were quite fancy......we went to 2 baseball games then out to dinner with the kiddos to IN N OUT burger.  We celebrated a little more fancy a couple of days later.  Sure love my Jakey, my best friend, and my eternal buddy!! 

Houdini

For Taylor's 5th grade wax museum Taylor wanted to do Harry Houdini.  When I asked him why he chose Harry Houdini he said "because he showed me that anything is possible!"  Sounds pretty good to me!  Good job Tay!

Oh Wow

Look at these two crazies!!!  This is what they dressed up as the other day and literally walked around ALL day like that, ha ha!

Kindergarten program

How adorable my little Miss Mya is.....she did such a good job in her kindergarten program.  My favorite was when she was explaining a picture she drew to the whole audience.  I LOVE seeing all of the things that she loves to do and all of her art projects.  We had to make an ABC book, (can't believe I didn't get a pic of it) but we did all things that Mya loves in ABC, it's adorable.

Canyon Day for Mom's Day

We had such a fun time up the canyon celebrating moms day.  It was beautiful weather and the kids had a blast.  My favorite was watching the 3 amigos with snake that Uncle Jer found.  SOOOOOOOO excited for summer!!!
