Happy 12th Birthday COLE

 Cole turned 12 in April! And here I am writing about it in July. Life just gets super busy along with procrastination! Cole celebrated his birthday with his good friend Josh Monson. The boys wanted to have a air soft war in the gully by our home. So, Bryce and Dave (Josh's dad) took the boys out. HOLY MOLY they had a blast! Then they came home (where Jody and I ) handled the rest. Pizza, a WHOLE bunch of junk food and a movie!

 What a awesome dad Bryce is!

 Dave, You too are a great dad! Look at this bad boy gun! Are you serious? Watch out for Dave!  He's down to business!

 Here's the crew! A whole bunch of 12 year old boys shooting at each other. Yes, we know how to have fun! :)

 Team 1

 Team 2

 oh, my! They are ready to go!

 Cole ready for the movie

Are you serious? This is what 12 year old boys eat?! I had to take a picture, I could not believe it! Cheetos & skittles on a chocolate donut....Pizza and Cheetos. Ugh...just looking at this...makes my tummy ache!
Happy Birthday Cole! You make dad and I so happy! You are such a great kid! We enjoy you and who you are becoming! It is so fun for me to see you pass the Sacrament! I'm a proud momma! You complete our family Cole. We love you dearly

HaPpY BirThDaY Meryn!

 Happy Birthday Rynny! Her 1st "friend" Birthday. It was super fun!

 All of her girly girls! Marli, Azure, Lady, Meryn, Lauren, Sydney, Ryan, Jane & Keely

Lauren and Meryn.... Meryn is such a great little one. She is super obedient and does her jobs fantastic! She is super duper into make-up, fashion, earrings.(which she can not have her ears pierced until 12!) But, doesn't stop her. She will wear clip on earrings or draw on her ears. Sneaks on my lipstick or her lip gloss before school. Tries to wear smelly lotion too. She cares deeply what she wears. She is super kind and sharing. She always helps Alayda clean her room. She's super snuggley and we are grateful she is in our lives! Happy Birthday to you Ryn

Spring Break in St. George

 It was a marathon weekend.First Lady's baptism on the 7th, Easter the next day and off to St. George on Monday April 9th. We stayed in our condo in St. George. We did lots of swimming, golf and relaxation.

Went hiking on a really cool trail! It's in Leeds somewhere. Of course our friend Randy knows where to go. He would be called Mr. Wilderness.

I LOVE Utah! It has some amazing rugged areas that is so intriguing.

We are a bunch of goof balls! We have a lot of fun together. :)

Cole, Karly and Gabe

We had to use the hanging rope to get around to the other side of this rock.

Ryn and Lauren.

Randy helping the kiddos

Cole and Gabe got into the water. Brrr! But, they loved every minute!

Me famila.

The Youngs! Some of the coolest people we know! We are missing Cody...he decided to stay behind and do some cool teenager stuff back in St.George.

Easters

After Alayda's baptism we had The Westcott's stay over. Amy & I met the Easter bunny around 12 am. Then we hid the baskets. We had some great spots this year!

Our nephew Vance wasn't into finding his. He had the other kids look for his Easters basket. Such a cute picture of him

After we found our baskets we went to church. Then over to Bryce's sister Kristen and Jan's for dinner and a Easter egg hunt. Kristen prepared a yummy meal.  

Kristen's girls went and hid the egg's at the high school. (which is across the street)

Then helped the younger ones find them. The kids had a lot to look for. Kristen had prepared a lot of eggs too.

Little Mr. was loving it.

The tandem bike. Todd and Bryce riding it. It was hilarious.

Then Dad and Todd.

They're audience. Lots of laughs and a great time! I love spending time with family! Thanks Kristen for hosting us and your company!!
