Loving Life!

Life has been so unbelievably good to us! 

Blogging has been on the backburner while I have been

enjoying my favorite little people!

But it seems that the memories are being made quicker than I can document them,

so hopefully I will be better on keeping up!!

Lots to come!

this time of year...

Our little family has been so blessed this year...
What a beautiful way to remember

 who makes it all possible! 

Hayden's Tonsils out!

 Hayden has been a little trooper with her sore throats and ear aches

but we couldn't take it anymore...

it was time to get the tonsils out and fix the ear...

 Dr. Chase did her surgery and they took out her adnoids and tonsils.

and then patched her eardrum and repaired it...we hope that it works!

She did great the first 2 days and then it went downhill from there!

She got really sick and was miserable...

It was good she kept her little sense of humor through it all!

End of School!

 This is our 6th year throwing an end of year school party!

I didn't know if I would make it this year being oooo soooo pregnant...

but it worked out great and the kids had a blast!

 We had a good mix of Reilly's friends and Jaces friends, and even

a couple of Haydens came for a while...

we had a total of 34 kids coming and going all afternoon!

 Reilly's 4th grade class was awesome!

I was their room mom, and they were great kids...

She loved her teacher Mrs. Gubler...

It was definitely one of her favorite years!

 Reilly's end of year program...

 Jaces end of year program!

Can't believe he just finished Kindergarten!

 Jace and his best friend...Luke Housekeeper

Jace loved Kindergarten...

His teacher was Mrs. Buzzell. she was Reilly's Kindergarten teacher also...

I was beyond happy when he got her!

She is a wonderful teacher...

We got lucky!

She loved Jace just as much as we loved her!

A Great Year!

Super Steppers Review

 This was Reilly's 4th Super Stepper Review...

I can't believe she has been dancing with this team for this long...

She loves it!

The best part of the night is that he dad gets to escort her onto the floor

when they introduce the years Super Steppers.

 Some pics of her dance things of the year....

(Gotta love hair extensions! haha)

It was a great year for her and her team...

Next year is going to be amazing....

They have grown into such an amazing team!



Easter!

 Easter was so much fun this year!  We spent it at

Grandpa & Grandma Harris'.

The morning started off with finding our baskets and heading to church...

 Then an a delicious dinner &Easter Egg hunt

with all of the cousins that were

in town....

 Hayden was so funny...on the Easter Egg hunt, Grandma Harris

fills some eggs with money and some with candy,

Hayden would shake the egg and if it didn't jingle like there was

money in it she would leave it an not pick it up....

SMART KID!  haha

 We were loving their hats Grandma got them! ha

 Dad saddled up some horses with Shayne

and the kids had a great afternoon ride!

 They are all awesome riders...Reilly loves it sooo much...

even Hayden went for a little ride...but we forgot to take a picture!

Reilly and Grandpa riding the 4-wheeler!

 We love hanging out on the farm with Grandpa and Grandma Harris,

soo wish we lived closer! 

Before we left Jace was staring out of my sister in laws window and said,

"Man I sure am going to miss this place!"

Hopefully it won't be too long that we will one day be there for good!



Reilly's Essay Contest!

 Reilly entered the Sons of the Utah Pioneers

Essay Contest.

You had to write about one of your ancestors.

She chose to write about her Great Grandpa Asahel McBride.

He was an amazing man and was really accomplished...but

the thing she loved most about him was his love for his family and the gospel,

and how his life changed, and he was successful because of those two

simple things.

She took first place with five other kids from our school and was given an

award and 20 gold coins from the Sons of the Utah Pioneers.
