March........

Wow I am so behind, I will try to do a over view of March. Lets see....
Laren had a Birthday!!! He is not one for big parties but he agreed that this year was his best Birthday yet. Not because of me showering him with presents (because I didn't) or because he is still so young (which he is not)but because we got to spend a wonderful weekend together with lots of our family and close friends. Our kids love him and so do I. I am so grateful that he is in my life and thankful for all he does for our family. I love you babe, Happy Birthday!





What also made this weekend very special is that we were able to go to the Temple and be Sealed! This was such a wonderful experience for us and we were so grateful to share it with our family and friends. It took a while for us to get hear but we are now in it for Eternity!! I love my little family and I can't imagine spending eternity without them! That day was so perfect and It just reaffirmed my testimony in the Gospel. Our Heavenly Father does watch out for us and hears and answers our prayers. I am so grateful for the Gospel in my our lives and that families can be together forever!

So we finished up with JR JAZZ!! Both kids played this year. Rylee did really well for her first year and Colby did really good not to get to hot tempered! We loved going to games and watching them play. Rylee was a great defender, even when she was on offense :).

Two cute girls! Hadlee is starting to give Kisses, and Rylee is the only one that can make her laugh. She is warming up to the rest of us. Apparently we are not that funny!

Rylee stayed home from school sick one day. She said mom I am feeling better and I would like you to come sit down so that I can take care of you since you have been taking care of me while I am sick. She said sit down and just relax! She rubbed my feet with lotion and then painted my toe nails and fingernails. I let her pick out the colors and so therefore I got, every other toe and finger painted two different colors. It was BEAUTIFUL!! Thanks Rylee for the pampering!

Valentines & Saint George!

For Presidents Day and Valentines weekend we ran down to Saint George to get some Sun and family fun! That is exactly what we got. Colby also had a soccer tournament down there to so we enjoyed watching him play. Cody, Erin Keegan and Chloe some of our favorite people came from Vegas to hang out and play to. Rylee Jayne can't get enough of these kids. She loves when they get to play together. Thanks Skye for letting us stay at your house. We had a wonderful time. Here are some fun pictures from that weekend.
For Valentines, Ashley volunteered to babysit Rylee and Hadlee, due to the fact that her valentine had not come home from his mission yet....I think 13 days or something were left!! Thanks Ashley next year you can join the grown up date night for valentines with your lover!!!

Just a few of my sisters that I love very much!

My hottie, my Valentine whom I also love very much!

We went to this amazing Steak Place called Anasazi. It was delicious!

I made pink heart Pancakes for breakfast! Rylee loved them. She also loves her uncles!! We were talking and I don't remember who asked rylee who her valentine was but she thought about it and said..... Uncle Logan. :) I laughed and said well you better ask Nat on that one. So she did. Nat said she would share him with Rylee this year. Then Logan made Rylee the cutest little card that said "Will you be my Valentine"?? Rylee loved it! Thanks Uncle Logie!!



Ginny and Hadlee having a stare down!

Hadlee absolutely hated rice cereal, but bring on the food, she will eat it up if she gets any in her mouth. She is so much fun.

Colby's 11th Birthday!!

Colby is such a great, wonderful, handsome, smart, kind hearted, did I mention how handsome he is becoming... Anyway he is such a good kid. Well, Feb 9th he turned
11. He is growing up so fast. Its crazy how time fly's. We just had a family dinner and party for his birthday he also went skiing with his mom and step dad. Pretty low key but he had a good day!! He wanted a Soccer ball from Rylee and Hadlee and a down comforter from dad and me. He's a kid that know's what he wants.


He has been involved in a Competitive Soccer/Futsal team this year and has really loved it. He has gotten so good. His Futsal Team took 1st and he was very excited about that win!

He also played Jr Jazz and only lost his temper a few times.

He had the 5th grade Science Fair project this year and him and his step dad created a Soda Can Solar Furnace. He won 1st place in his class and went on to District. He won there and went on to Region at BYU. There he won second place and got nominated to go on to more fairs. I don't know how far we will take it but we were sure proud of him for all the hard work he put into this project!


He is a huge Goof Ball and loves to make his sisters laugh!



He is so smart and we are proud of the young man he is becoming. Watch out girls he's got brains and good looks!!! We love you Colby and are so happy you are a part of our family. You are a wonderful big brother to your two younger sisters. They love you so much and so do we!!
