May (yes i'm behind)

 we went to the Peach Festival and made Peach Preserve with our super ripe peaches

 we did a family night on Expressing Frustration and we used the Angry Birds (kids loved it)

 I try to do a "project" a day usually while Stella is napping (less hectic that way) this day was Oreo Pops

 Ashlyn went to a Princess Dance Bday Party and learned the cutest dance (2nd from left)

 Ashlyn had her end of School Program and it was great - we loved her sweet teacher

 Weston had a field trip to to Phx to check out a helicopter used in the war

 Sweet Stella cracks us up daily - SO Funny

 bedtime routine - baths, jammies, apple, Bernstein bears

 cutie Bryce is 5 months old already! time is a flyin - he loves his jumper and baths and he is my only child that sucks his thumb (he also take a passy)

Blake just went on a fun adventure to Havasupi with the Scouts and I've lost 22 pounds with 8 more to go to be at my pre-baby weight (I'm so excited)

lots of things going on this summer - hopefully i'll update before it's been too long!

Lately

 We had a "little man" baby shower for Melissa and baby Wyatt!! Bryce was not fond of his sticker Mustache, I thought it was hilarious :)

 Bow tie onesies and mustache cups!!

 both of Melissas sisters had boys in the last year and I had Bryce so we're excited to add Baby Wyatt to the "Little Man" Group... (Dylan, Emmit and Bryce)

 I took Mustaches home for the rest of my family to enjoy! The kids loved them

 We went to Lucy's 2nd Bday TEA Party! so cute, loved the gloves and hats

 We went to the zoo for Weston's school field trip and the Rupps came with us! We were able to feed giraffes and it was a big hit with the kids!  worth the $5

 Best little Friends, can't wait to watch them grow up together - Lucy and Stella!

 Our oldest and youngest! Ashlyn is such a big helper with Bryce, she loves to feed him

 Close up, but who doesn't LOVE that sweet face

 Weston and Ashlyn at the fair on another field trip for school!  I took this same picture last year when it was Ashlyns school field trip :)

 Father and Sons camp out, Weston's favorite time of year! He loves BOY time

 Our spunky almost 2 year old, she is currently potty training and is doing AWESOME! so happy to just have 1 in diapers (besides bedtime)

 Our kiddos, growing up so fast

Greg & Cheryl's Wedding

at the temple

The Bros

the Andersen's with Steve

we were supposed to get Family Pics done before the reception, however our sweet Ashlyn threw up on the way over so needless to say we took pics but nothing like we planned (she was not up for smiling & her hair wasn't done, and Bryce was not happy either)

Steve & Kadee's family - so photogenic

Bryce's Blessing

Bryce was blessed a week ago at church, we were so lucky to have SO many family/friends there! My brother Greg was married the day before so we had a ton of people in town that normally wouldn't have been here! Afterward we had a lunch at our house and everything turned out really well! I'm grateful for Blake and that he honors his priesthood - our kids are very lucky to be able to receive blessings!

Family of 6

These are all the guys that were in the blessing circle!

This is all the Boys in Blake's family


Stella loves her Aunt Robin, not sure what she's looking for here - maybe it's Baby "Chubby"

Blake's Parents
Blakes grandparents flew in that morning and we were so excited for them to be here and meet Bryce for the first time!
