Boating

We took the boat out and it was great. The kids mostly went for the treats and because we ate lunch on the boat. But they did have fun. Paislee was even pretty good until the teddy grahams weren't cutting it anymore. She was a trooper for a good couple of hours. I hadn't been on the boat for along time because last summer I was either pregnant or had a small baby. It was really nice and I'm looking forward to more boating this summer.

Happy Birthday Baby

I can't believe its been a year since you joined our family. You are the sweetest baby and are almost always happy just hanging out. We have yet to find a food or person you don't like. We love you so much. So happy birthday baby here's to another year of fun and happiness:)

Does this look familiar?

Tiff gave me this shirt that Brooklyn had worn on her first birthday, and then we noticed that they got the same thing for their birthday. Creating almost the exact same picture for our two girls who are almost 2 years apart. Crazy huh!

Flash Back Friday

This is what we were doing a year ago on the 19th. Can you believe its been a year since our little paislee came into the world? We were so glad Grandma Terrie and Grandpa Shawn were able to be here for her arrival. My baby is getting big way to fast.

Krissa's spring sing

Krissa had her spring sing the other night and it was actually enjoyable. They did just the first grade this year so you could actually see your child sing. Instead of sitting a mile away like we did last year. Over all it was short and sweet and krissa did a great job!

Jumping rope with Grandma

Krissa has done nothing but nag Grandma Ann to jump rope with her when she gets home from school. So I thought I would video it. My mom can actually jump 100 times in a row. Can you do that? Because I can't. My mom is good for me. Everyday she has had me walking or biking somewhere. And yes she can walk faster than me to. I need to get into shape:)

Blowing Bubbles

I just loved this picture of the kids and Brian blowing bubbles. The look on Krissa's face just cracks me up:)

The Toy shop

We had Krissa's ballet recital this weekend and it was really cute. I have to admit by the end I was excited it was over. Mostly because people don't think it is cute when your one year old starts screaming bloody murder in the middle of the ballet:) Thanks for walking in the back with her Brian! Krissa did a great job and we were so excited that Grandma Ann got to come up and watch her.

Krissa and the flowers Dad and Brady gave her.

Happy (early) Birthday Paislee!!

Paislee on her new zebra. Which actually she loves even though she can't touch the ground. We had Paislee's birthday a little early because my mom was going to be up here. She really liked her cake and ended up eating almost half of it. She didn't attack it like I thought she would but she really loved the taste of it. As you can see in the last picture while we weren't watching she got in the garbage and proceeded to eat cake out of the garbage plates. My little girl can sniff out food anywhere!

Happy Mothers Day

Happy Mothers Day to the two most wonderful mothers Brian and I could ask for we love you!

Ballet dress rehearsal

Krissa will be a Spanish doll in the ballet toy shop this Sunday. She looked so pretty at dress rehearsal and she did a great job. I can't wait to watch the real thing!

Paislee 1 year pictures

My friend Amanda called to see if I wanted to do Paislee's one year pictures today and luckily she had just woken up from a nap. So we went over to her house and she took them. They all turned out so cute I have no idea how i will choose. Thanks a ton Amanda!!

Flash Back Friday

Since Brian has been lifting weights with his friends. I thought everyone might like to see him lifting weights when he was just a little kid. If you look close you can see the spot on his pants where he peed because it was too heavy:) And yes I had permission to use this photo.


My friend Carrie asked when was the last time I was in a leotard. Well this was one of the last times. Don't you love the leg warmers?

Getting to know my blogging buddies!

I got this tag off of my friend Kristin's blog and I thought it was kinda cute. So here goes

1. Answer the questions about the list of friends and/or family on your blog.
2. If you don’t have 18 names answer the question about the next name that you have not had a question for on your list.
3. Tag 5 people

When did you first meet the first person on your list? The first time Brian took me home to meet his parents. Since Larry is my brother in law.

What do you like about the third person on your list? Holly is a very fun person to be around and she usually has some pretty good gossip:) Also she was my boss for one summer and she was a great one.

What do you like best about the seventh and eighth people on your list?-I like April because she is great when it comes to keeping our girls in touch and she is a wonderful friend and mother. I like Marin because she is always so happy and it tends to rub off on me even if I'm in a bad mood. She is also a great friend and a wonderful mother.

How long have you known the ninth person on your list?-I would say I have know Tracy for at least 9 or 10 years she was once my sisters neighbor in salt lake.

What impresses you about the twelfth and thirteenth people on your list?-I am very impressed that Jen and Skip have traveled the places they have gone. Heck I haven't even been on a plane. Terrie is my mom-in-law and I'm impressed with her because she was able to leave an abusive relationship when she had 3 small boys and managed to raise them and 2 other boys to be great people. She is also a great mom in law and would do anything for her family.

What is a memory you have with the sixteenth person on your list?-Sadly I don't have to many memories of Bethany she is my sis in law but we have only been together a handful of times. I just remember her always being so happy and she is always good at telling it like it is. I love that about her.

Happy (early) Mothers Day!! To me!

Brian and the kids bought me these hanging flower pots for mothers day. And then Brady made me a single flower pot and his hand print at school. I'm lucky to have such a great family.

Walking (well sort of)

OK so she is not really walking. But considering that just last week she would fall over walking behind this toy. I was proud she could walk just like this.

Money well spent!
