9 yr Wedding Anniversary

Yep, that's right we have been married 9 years as of June 6!!  Crazy how time has just flown by.  I couldn't be happier with my 9 years being married to my best friend.  It seems like I have known him my whole life, but actually we met for the first time 11 years ago.  I love him more and more with every passing anniversary.

We spent 10 lovely days in sunny St. George with no kids!  It was so quiet, calm, and relaxing.  We didn't take many pictures because we did a lot of lounging.

This is Dave at Smashburger with a yummy rootbeer float!!

This is Dave on our Anniversary.  We went to dinner at Anasazi.  It was pretty cool, we got to cook our meat at our table on a stone that was like 700 degrees.

This is me showing off my new neon pink skinnies!  Love them, they are my absolute favorite!

Minus the fact that we had some car problems we had an excellent trip.  We went shopping, we saw MIB3, we went swimming, ate lots of yummy food, found a butcher and made some really amazing steaks and brats, and just lounged around and did absolutely nothing!!  It was a great way to celebrate 9 fabulous years being married!!!

Vika's 4yr Pics

The last Saturday in April we got family pics taken by our wonderful photographer Tammy with Captured Photography.  She is amazing and my kids just love her.

We decided to stay true to our 'roots' and stay in good ole EM to do our pics.  We found 3 great locations and got some wonderful shots.  

Even though it was super windy and freezing the kids did great and still smiled for camera.

We got some really good family shots and actually really enjoyed ourselves despite the cold weather. 

I'm still having a hard time adjusting to the fact that my baby is 4.  She just has grown up way too fast.  She didn't stay a baby for very long, and so she acts a lot older than she should.  We love her and wouldn't want to live life without her.

Vika's 4th Birthday

I can't believe my little baby girl is already 4. Where in the world did the time go? I just love her to death, and I don't even want to think about life without her in our family. She is very spirited, opinionated, and just plain LOUD. She is also very tender hearted and caring, and she is always complimenting someone!! Her personality is getting really big, but she is staying very small and petite.

Happy birthday Vika aka Bebs!! We love you! Enjoy a few pics of her past birthdays!! :)

Vika when she turned 1! I miss all that chub!

Vika when she turned 2! Still very chubby!

Vika when she turned 3! She started thinning out, and honestly I don't think she is much bigger than that today!!

Wordless Wednesday

Jr. Jazz

Conner has been playing Jr. Jazz this year! He has been so excited, and just loves to play around with his friends. His team is made up of boys from our ward, and boys he has played sports with before. He was the most excited that his best friend Damon is on his team!

He is still getting the hang of actually playing basketball and not just trying to get the ball. His games are Saturday mornings, and he is either tired or hungry every game. He has been the entertainer, and just making everyone laugh. He is the kid that runs to the other basket to shoot, even if its the wrong basket. And he is also the kid that looks like he has no idea what is going on. He likes to talk to his friends on the bench, dance around, basically anything but play basketball.

This is Conner warming up before the game! Isn't this a 'normal' warm-up exercise?

There, now he looks like a basketball player!

He really does have his moments when he tries his best to play. He is good at blocking, but when it comes to offense he gets shy and timid. He doesn't like to shoot when there are lots of people at the basket even in practice and warm-ups.
