Misiego mania

I love Misiego Mania!  I feel so blessed to have married into a family that's so loving and passionate fun and loyal and crazy!  I especially love the Spanish flair. :)  Amalia and Jose came out to visit and we had so much fun with them.  Owen and Mali were especially good buddies, and the boys enjoyed chess games with Buelo.  (I think Bryan may have beat him here!)
Just a little flamenco dancing in the kitchen.  Totally normal for this family!
Love!
More Misiego time meant more time with sweet Carmen.
Jose and Julia came down as well and we all had a night out (Bryan included) at Black Sheep Cafe in Provo - my favorite!
Sara and Jazmin also came into town for Carmen's baby blessing so everyone was here, except for Rebeca... :(  Bryan was psyched, though, to have such a big fan section at his soccer game!
One of our favorite (free!) places to go with all the kids was the Bean Museum at BYU.  The kids had fun showing Maily around this time.
Cute little nature girl.
Carmen's baby blessing day was a such a special day, and I don't know why I didn't end up with any pictures of her!  But I got plenty of pictures of everyone else, it seems!  We sure enjoyed those Booth Family parties in Annalece's parents' backyard.
A bouncy house and everything!  It was all too much fun!
Love these two and that gorgeous backdrop!
Cute Archer at 4 months old.
These pics are the best!
And how I love my man!
I'm so glad he picked me and that all these wonderful people are a part of my life.  If only scenes like this could happen more often...
Loving on our sweet babies.  Life is good.

All about April

You wouldn't expect to see snow like this in April, but that's Utah spring season for you!  Owen was thrilled to get another chance to play in the snow, considering there'd hardly been any all winter!
Cold weather didn't keep these cute cousins from going swimming, though!  That steamy indoor pool at the clubhouse was a lot of fun when it was especially cool outside!
Silly girlies!
When it wasn't snowing, Owen was all about the parks!  This one in Pleasant Grove was a favorite.  We loved going with Javi and Celine!
This fire pole freaked me out, though!  Owen had no fear!
This park in Orem with the duck pond was one of my favorites because it was so beautiful.  Owen was pumping his fist here because he'd gotten a rock in the water. :)
Nothing does Spring better than Thanksgiving Point Tulip Festival!  Thankfully the weather cooperated wonderfully and we got to enjoy a beautiful afternoon with Heather and the girls!
Gorgeous!
Best friends forever!
Someone took these pictures of David and Javi at one of Bryan's soccer games.  Javi was such a great cheerleader!  We loved when he could come to Bry's games. 
We didn't spend all our time outdoors, though.  Ari found plenty of time for art projects and these were some of her cutest creations!
Getting her creativity on at dance.  I love her cute pointed toes!


Jana and I stayed plenty busy planning the Spring Carnival for Cherry Creek!  It was super stressful but ended up being a huge success!
Trying out the photo props.
Since I haven't said too much about the older boys, here's a picture of them showing off their sharp new haircuts!  Pretty cool dudes, that's for sure!
