The 2nd half of April 2016

April 16th- Rich's sad, swollen eye while he had pink eye. He's still such a cute little guy though. :)

April 21st-

When tornado Aisley hits while Keaton is gone to school.

 Aisley is becoming quite the pro at riding Keaton's small scooter. We are loving all the Spring walks we are getting in (in between the rainy days) lately.

 Pink eye in the OTHER eye now... Poor guy.

I'm for sure the dinosaur lately...!

More pictures of this happy, swollen eyed boy.

Aisley took a tumble out of my mom's car and hit her face on the door. (Luckily, my mom caught her and she only hit the door instead of the concrete!)

 April 22nd-

The super random treat the kids picks from the dollar spot at Target. Ha, ha. Surprisingly, they actually liked them. I had to take a picture cause I was laughing so hard at their asian?? treat!

We went out to dinner at the Spaghetti Factory with our best BFF's the Spicer's. (Where we found out all in one foul swoop that they are expecting baby #2 AND moving to Washington State! We are excited for your new adventure friends, but we will miss you!!!) After dinner we went to City Creek to let the kids play in the play place, where I attempted to get a picture of these cute girls together. It was fun to let Aisley and Annalise play together!

April 23rd-

She told me she was wearing glasses just like her aunt Amber. :) Ha, ha.


April 24th-

All 3 of our kids LOVE their uncle Curtis.

The kids riding the horses at Grandma Shauna's house.

I need this shirt. Ha, ha.

How I'm sure Justin wishes our new house plan was!!!

April 25th-

We've been having some pretty rainy days lately. We made a quick trip to Dollar Tree and barely made it back to the car before the rain hit.

I just really loved this. I too love Sister Hinckley.

When you don't think you're tired, but you are and you fall asleep during "quiet time."

Our back door neighbors have a hole! Let the noisy and dirty construction begin!

 I treated myself to a much needed bath and some chocolate. (My new bathtub is very nearly one of my favorite things about our new house... I've taken a bath more nights than I haven't since we moved in! And, yes, I always have some chocolate and a good book to read each and every time. How could I not?!)

April 26th- This sweet baby trying to patiently wait for me to finish doing my hair so that I could feed him. Isn't he the sweetest thing ever?! I sure think so!

April 27th-

These 2 brothers make me quite happy- each.and.every.day.

Partying hard at Crayson's firefighter birthday party! Complete with real, live firetruck!!! Happy 2nd birthday Crayso!!!

April 28th-

Over the weekend uncle Curtis taught Aisley a new trick! How to cross her eyes! Aisley LOVES learning new things from her uncle Curtis. (The list is becoming quite long- how to block the sun from her eyes, blowing on her hands to warm them up when they are cold, how to pump her legs up and down while swinging...)

Rich loves spending time in the jump-a-roo. He is quite the energetic jumper!

April 29th-

April 30th- I love having a bouquet of flowers in my kitchen. Especially in the Springtime. I treated myself to this beautiful and colorful bunch of flowers.

The 1st half of February 2016

February 1st- Rich at 5 months old. You couldn't ask for a happier, more content baby boy.

 February 2nd- For me, this is so completely true. End of story.

February 4th-

V-day decorations are up, complete with snowballs to match the weather outside. Utah's fun like that.

Aisley may have a secret love for Keaton being gone to kindergarten. She loves to play with all things Keaton while he's gone at school. She loves that she is in charge of where and how she plays. Shhh... just don't tell Keaton!

My black bar stools came! I'm loving the way they look with my kitchen.

February 5th- Provo City Center Temple open house. It was beautiful and wonderful and special to take our kids to such a beautiful temple, in a building where Justin and I used to go to for Stake Conference before the tabernacle fire. We spent the night with Justin's family and it was the perfect night together. Both Keaton and Aisley loved seeing the inside of the temple and it makes me happy that they were able to feel the sacred spirit of such a holy house.

February 6th- I need to remember this.

February 9th-

 February 10th-

"Look unto God with firmness of mind, and pray unto him with exceeding faith... recieve the pleasing word of God, and feast upon his love; for ye may, if your minds are firm, forever." Jacob 3:1,2 Our "ponderize" for the week. I just love this simple way of displaying and coming to know the scriptures better throughout the day/week.


February 11th-

Lunch with Grandma Melanie means swigs of Diet Coke for Aisley.

Oh my. this one just made me laugh out loud and brought be back to my days drawing blood.

I saved this one for Maddie just cause I thought she would think it was funny!

Keaton came excitedly running out of his bedroom into the family room to tell me something and ran into the corner of the baluster... He hit hard and this goose egg immediately started to form. The poor guy was very sad. In the battle of the railing and the kids the railing is winning- Railing 2- Kids 0.

February 14th- A happy Valentine's Sunday.

February 15th-
