Melissa THIS IS FOR YOU!









Melissa has been bugging me to post since it's been over a year since I have, so this is for you!
RAGNAR MEMORIES!!! It really was alot of fun, partly because I had a van with alot of fun ladies, if I could get over the anxiety of waiting for my leg, it would have been perfect. But that moment when I thought I could not finish that last leg and my team came and got me, it was so amazing! It felt good to finish something I had worked so hard at. It was an awesome feeling.

DISNEYLAND

We surprised our kids and took them to Disneyland this September. It was sooo much fun! They all had such a good time. We spent 5 days at Disneyland and California Adventure and my kids could have gone even longer. Savannah is a roller coaster junkie! She even convinced Madison to ride some of the scarier ones. Brooklyn loved meeting Buzz LIghtyear and Mater and Lighting Mcqueen. Port is always a good baby and was content to do whatever we wanted. We were worn out every night after a day of running from ride to ride. My favorite ride was the Buzz LIghtyear ride, only because I got 357,000 points where as Brandon got like 15,000, Chris got somewhat close with 78,000. Dustin was the next closest with 132,000. I was killer!! It was awesome. I am not competitive at all, its just when I win, I like it alot! Brandon was a good sport, even though he hates Disneyland!!

I remember when.....


Shellie & Jill my good friends from high school came all the way out to Tooele for a visit. It was so good to see them! You can't beat great friends, and these two helped me so much growing up! Thanks girls.

I think I can! I think I can!





We have been trying to get Savannah to ski for a couple years. This year she decided to do it. After her first very upsetting try, I was sure we'd have another year of her saying she'd try, but never doing it. But we went out to Utah Lake, with just our kids, and she went out and did it, and now she is so awesome and absolutely loves it. I am so proud of her for sticking to it, even when she was scared and didn't think she could do it. Not many things make me as happy as seeing my girls feel good about themselves, when they have accomplished something they didn't think they could.

I love sisters, yes I do!


My brother is going on a mission to Ecuador, so after he went through the temple, we stopped at Leatherby's.

This is Carie's favorite pose, mine too actually.

Easter Pictures






Does everyone else have such a difficult time trying to get family photos? Especially with a 3 year old. She does what she wants when she wants, and no one is going to convince her otherwise unless she is ready. But the pictures still made us laugh. When I was little me and my sisters always had matching dresses, usually my mom made them. So I have always tried to get them matching dresses, I just love it, and I will do it as long as they will let me. Right now they think it is cool, they will even try to get me to wear things to match them too.
