Christians first soccer game


This year we signed up Christian for soccer through AYSO.


This is our team banner. The coach is also my friend Wendy


and we made the banner together. It came out great.


He looked so cute in his little uniform. He was pumped


up and ready to play.


He is number 5



It was so much fun to watch the kids and they did


really good for their age. I was a proud mamma.

Today was my birthday.. a great day to celebrate




Today I turned the big 34. We went out to Black Barts for



dinner and then a movie. My friend Tyson is visiting for the



week so it was great to spend time with her and Shane



without any children. We got to catch up and talk about



old times. We have all known eachother for the past 14 years.




Another year and it has been a great one. Life is better


than I could have imagined. I feel so truly blessed to have


the best husband ever and two wonderful kids. God


had blessed me beyond measure and I am so truly


thankful for everything and everyone in my life.


Shane was so sweet today. When I woke up there was a card in the kitchen,


then when I went to get in my car their was a card in my truck.


We took the kids to the movie and when we came out their


was another card on my windshield.


When we pulled up to the house there was a Happy Birthday Banner on the


garage with another card. Then this afternoon he handed me another card


and lastly at dinner he gave me the final 6th card for the day. He


made me feel so very special. Love you so much honey!




Lake Powell Trip


Last weekend we made our first trip of the summer to Powell.


My good friend Tyson and her daughter flew in from New York for the


week to stay with us. The Hunter family joined us too!


One of the favorite things to do is ride the tube!








The kids had a blast and it brings back so many


great memories of when I was their age sitting


in the front of the boat having the best time.


I feel so fortunate that I can now give my


kids those memories too.


Shane is quite the water skiier now


Tyson and Ella



Wendy learned how to wakeboard and absolutely fell in love with it.


Shane catching some good air





We even tried getting Christian up. He almost had it but


would only go the one time. I think I need to wait a little longer


until he is a much better swimmer because he was a little scared.


He did it though and we were so proud of him for trying.

Our Colorado Vacation in the Mountains


Vacation. Who doesn't love when you get to go somewhere


else. Well we love Colorado. This is the 5th summer we have come


here and of course we had the best time ever!


We got the kids a little goodie bag, which they loved.


Bandanas and swords: perfect!


Always love the hot tub


Going to play some kickball. Do you remember sitting


in the back of a pickup truck?



Celebrated Father's Day and Shanes Birthday too!


Made tye-dye shirts. It was so fun making


our shirts and the kids really had a good time.


You have to wait 8 hours before you get to


see your final project and it is fun to see how your shirt turned out.



Horseback riding. This is my favorite horse Whiplash.



Playing in the tree house


The boys love the 4-wheelers. Kyle couldn't get enough!


The mommies enjoying some relaxation and sun


We had a couple campfires by the river







Our little cute family


It took 5 years but we got Shane on a horse and we went

for a ride. Afterwards he said it was one of his favorite things

he did this week. We can't wait to come back next year~
