I wish I lived in Utah right now so I could go to this. First of all, I think Mindy Gledhill is amazing! Second, and most important, this concert benefits Stephanie Nielsen. I think it would be a wonderful FHE and you would be helping out someone in need! So go if you can...I wish I could!

Here She Comes...Miss America!!!

Aleena was able to get tickets to the preliminary round of Miss America through Geoff's work. We went on Tuesday night and had so much fun! We were able to see a little bit of everything as the girls were split up in groups and took turns doing talent, interview, swim suit, and evening gown. Miss Utah did swim suit and evening gown and I thought she looked great in both (I am a little biased though). We sat right in front of the Teen Miss America runner ups and they were so cute. They were decked out in their evening gowns and had their hair and makeup all fancy. They were sweet to talk to us and explain how it all works. It was a fun girls night out! I love these girls!Shea, Sarah, Rachel, Aleena

Fun in the Sun!

We have been having the most beautiful weather lately. The boys and I have been loving every minute of it! We have spent many days at the park and hanging out in the backyard. Today I took the boys and their friend Scottee to the park. These 3 are the best of friends and have so much fun together. They were cracking me up. Squinting cause the sun is so bright! I got them all their own Gatorade and they had to carry them everywhere they went. They were worn out from running around so they had to "rest" in Scottee's dollhouse!

More Fun!

When we were in Utah we went to the MV basketball game! The boys loved it!Brady and Aria!Abbey and Easton!Kylee is the sweetest girl around! She is a fabulous reader and the boys loved having her read to them!I just love these boys! We have adjusted to being home and getting back to our normal routine. These kids make me a little crazy most days but I love every minute of being their mom!

Happy Birthday Gavin!

Today is my oldest nephew's birthday! I love this kid! He is the sweetest boy around. He is a great brother and cousin. We love you Gav and hope you have a wonderful birthday!

Holiday Wrap Up!

We went to the Cactus Farm like last year! Made a gingerbread house! When we went to Utah Ryan and I left our kids with Grandma Sue and went skiing for the first time together! The worst part was when we got up to Sundance and I realized I left my ski pants at home. My sweet mom drove them up to me and we ended up having a great day!Sisters!It was only Ryan's third time snowboarding. He did awesome!Played games until the wee hours of the morning.This was at 12:30 a.m. and everyone decided they were hungry. My mom went to cooking and we played and ate until 2:00 a.m. Only on Christmas vacation!!!Hung out with cousins we love!Had an ugly sweater party with friends. I was a party pooper since I had to work til 2:00 a.m. that night but Ryan had a blast!Went to Temple Square with our cousins!We had a wonderful holiday season! We are so grateful for all the memories made and the time we were able to spend with our families!

Christmas Eve!

Yes I know this is very late but I am way behind on my blogging so bare with me! I am the worst mom ever and didn't take a single picture on Christmas day but I have lots from Christmas Eve!

We spent Christmas Eve with my family this year! It is always a good time with food, a special program, songs, and of course the Christmas story from Luke read by my grandpa.

Ten kids 6 and under!The girls!The boys!Hugs!Love these boys!Our little family!Playing Nertz late Christmas Eve!We had a wonderful Christmas! Brady and Easton got a slide and a train table and loved it! It was fun this year as they understand a little more what is going on. We loved spending time with our families and letting our kids play with their cousins. Lot's more to come!

Las Vegas Bowl!

My family headed down to Vegas for the BYU game. We had people sleeping all over our house, even in the laundry room! It was a blast playing games and hanging out. Yes it was sad game but we still had a lot of fun!
