Strawberry Days Baby Contest

We Won!!! Yeah! She was so cute. I put her in the Strawberry Days Baby Contest in the cutest little dance tights and tutu...and she Won! When I took her up to the judges she gave her biggest smile with her cute little dimples and that is all it took. She was so sweet. Ok and her toe nails were painted "hot pink", I am sure that helped. I feel like the proudest mommy in the whole world right now. Look for us in the parade on Saturday....I have to show her off! Check out her first trophy. Wow! My friend Rakelly's little newborn won Miss Strawberry Baby. How cute! Oh and thanks Em for making the perfect bow for her outfit...we couldn't have done it without that. Your the best! I had some unexpected guests show up for support....what a surprise! Thanks Kim and Sydney.

Pre-School Graduation

So now that you have graduated from Pre-school what do you want to be when you grow up? "Um... I think a Dinosaur!"

Look who's 8!

Look who is 8 years old! Wow! It has been an exciting month planning my oldest boys
8th Birthday Celebration. We had to change the baptism date a couple of times to work with daddy's work schedule but we did it. It turned out to be such a fun experience. We were able to plan a private baptism that turned out so great. It was a lot of work but worth it. We are so proud of his decision to be baptised and he is such a great example to his little brother and sister. He truly has always had such a special spirit about him and now with the Holy Ghost as a companion.... watch out! He will be a great missionary someday. We had a big celebration after with all of our family in our backyard. It was such a great day. Happy 8th Birthday!

Women of Steel Triathlon

Swim 300 meters - Bike 11 miles - Run 3 miles - Finished 2:03

Ok....so we have trained for months; swimming, biking, running, working out, getting babysitters, pushing kids in strollers, getting up early,leaving kids and family's to train for this triathlon...you get my drift. Anyways, the day before the big day I get deathly sick! Really, really, really sick. I lost 5 pounds just on Friday. Well, do or die I decided to risk it all and go anyways. Thanks to all my cute friends that pressured me into doing this in the first place, offered up the most sincere prayers for me. So with no energy, nothing in my body, I went and finished the race and live to tell about it! Wow! It truly was a miracle and I am grateful that I got to complete the race. I guess it was all in the journey of it...but had I not been able to complete the journey would have made me sad.

Appendicitis!

Our little "big" boy got sick over the weekend; throwing up, fever, ect. I had a funny feeling that it might be appendicitis because those are so commonly misdiagnosed. But the Doctor talked me out of it and said it might just be the flu. I went all weekend with a sick little boy, DJ was out of town. Finally on Monday I got another feeling that something was wrong so I took him to the Dr.'s and said this is what I think it is....mother's intuition!They sent us to the hospital for an ultra sound and as soon as they did it we went straight to the ER for an emergency appendectomy! He did so good and is such a tough little kid. Good job buddy! Really, who needs your appendix anyways!

Look who is 5!

Happy Birthday to you! All he wanted to do for his 5th birthday is take some friends to the park and ride scooters. He had a Star Wars cake and donuts. We played some games and opened presents. Big brother gave him that awesome spiderman costume! WOW! We went and had pizza for dinner and went home. What a fun birthday! Happy 5th birthday to my little boy.

Baby's Blessing Dress

So we had to have a photo shoot of baby in her blessing dress! She was so fun.....look how cute.

Baby's Blessing Day

Today was our little baby's Blessing Day! It was so much fun planning and getting ready for this day. Daddy did such a great job on giving her a name and blessing. All of our family came after to the house to celebrate. It turned out to be great spring weather. It was such a perfect day!

Run, Run, Run....

Ok so I had these two cute friends that talked me into running the Provo's 5k this weekend. I really was NOT ready to run a 5k race but I did it anyways. I came in about 29 minutes, but my two cute friends Jenny and Emily took 2nd place in their age divisions for their 26 minute time...WOW!! It was so much fun and felt good to get out and run again. By the way it was freezing that day!

Batter Up!

We were invited to a UVU baseball game with some of our friends. The boyz had a blast! I don't think they watched much of the game...they liked rolling down the grass hill the best. It was such a fun night sitting on the grass, eating popcorn, and watching baseball. We are ready now for summer! Thanks RaKelly and Josh for the invite!
