Last/First day of school pictures

Every year I get the kid's first day and last day of school pictures by this flag!! The last day of school was a little crazy this year. Taylor had the stomach flu so I was inside taking care of her. I asked Steve if he would take a picture of Preston by the flag before he left.... this is the picture I got So I made sure to get a picture of Preston and Taylor (I'm not sure where Mason was??) before we all went every which way during the summer

Doggie Days

Taylor and I went to Doggie Days at the Shops at Briargate.

She LOVES Hogan and was so excited to take him on an outing.

It was a fun afternoon together.

Matt and Ashley are FINALLY married

After being engaged for almost 2 years.... Matt and Ashley were married in the Salt Lake Temple. We were so happy to be able to be there. Steve assigned to help with a Generals retirement, that of course prevented him from making it to the wedding, so the kids and I were there for the wedding and then Steve flew out for the reception that weekend

Everything was beautiful and we were so happy for them and happy that they are in our lives!

The end to a great night and a great week!

Utah Trip 2009 PART I

The kids and I went out to Utah for Matt and Ashley's wedding. We got to spend the week with my sister and her darling family! The kids LOVED playing with their cousins and I LOVED being with my sister and her hubby!

Mason and Tylie, can they be any more opposite??

Taylor and Kailee

All the cousins. Dallin had school that week so we didn't get to play with him as much during the day. So when he was home, Preston was happy to have his buddy.

We took the kids to Thanksgiving Point. I love that place.

Water, mazes and fun things to climb on and through, what more could a kid want!
