My Baby is 2!

There is no better place than Lake Powell to celebrate your second birthday. And no better people than all 21 members of your mom's family. Chloe, you have brought so much fun and laughter into our home the last 2 years. We all love you to pieces!

Potty Training?!

Cloe has been done with diapers for a long time now and Scott and I have not been ready to do the potty training 'thing'. Scott even resorted to duct taping Chloe's diaper on her after finding one too many poopy diapers just lying around. Well, Chloe gave up on us and decided to potty train herself. This is how we found her on the afternoon of June 5th, having already pee-peed and poo-pood in the potty. Hooray for big girl underwear !

Big, Big Dreams

I can't believe my kindergartner has graduated! Nathan had an amazing year thanks to Miss Deffenbaugh and now he is moving on up. He is ready for 1st grade I just hope 1st grade is ready for Nathan!

Something different

There is something different about Brooklyn these days. Yes, she just keeps getting prettier; yes, her hair is a little shorter; yes, she just looks more mature but the latest change in Brooklyn's life is the addition of braces. She had an expander put in her mouth at the end of March and now it is braces for the next few months. Her mouth has been a little sore but she is so tough. Brooklyn your adorable.

Laguna Hills

I really do consider myself one of the luckiest people on earth and this weekend is one of the many reasons why. Thank heavens for amazing friends who are willing to do HARD things and make it so much fun. Labor day weekend we (me, Tishia, Tiffany, Jenny and Minnie joined us later) headed out to Laguna Hills, California to run a half-marathon. We had soooooo much fun!

We spent the first day driving and shopping and shopping and shopping...

The next day we made it to church at this beautiful Spanish style, 2-story building...

ate great food...

walked along the beach...

jumped at the beach...

picked Minnie up from the airport and jumped on our beds at the hotel room (just Jenny and I)...and then tried to get some sleep for the big race.

Ahhh, relaxing our sore muscles.

Thank you ladies for a fun filled weekend and for your amazing friendship.

The night of a lifetime!

Wow, it's really her!

Singing-Singing-Singing

Brooklyn, sending her love to Taylor.

WOW! Brooklyn has loved Taylor Swift for a long time and it was so much fun to watch the excitement in her eyes as we got to see her perform live in concert. Brooklyn's cousin, Sydney, and her mom got to come with us which made the night even more exciting. The opening acts were 'Gloriana' and Kelli Pickler. The whole night was unforgettable.

6 years and still running!

Scott and I have been running a race for 6 years now-trying to just keep Nathan in our sights. But it is thrilling and that is why we are still running. All he wanted for his birthday was a pinata and a playdate with his friend Kendall, and he got both. Happy Birthday buddy-We love you!
