Catching up!

Jason was a good sport and let my little sister, Tahna practice a pedicure on him! Frightening, not right!

Ya... like I said, frightening, not right!!!! Yes, those are Jason's lovely feet!!

We celebrated Kade's 12th birthday at Nana's. He's a little deacon now! He went to his first mutual activity up in the white mtns, too. I was a little teary eyed when he walked out the door with the teenagers to go!!

This is Cam on his last day of 1st grade doing a reader's theater. We're so proud of how far he's come over the year. It was amazing to hear him reading with such ease knowing that just a few months ago he had such a struggle with it! Great job, Cameron!

Bailey auditioned and was chosen for a solo part at Centennial High's end of the year choir concert. She looked and sounded beautiful! We're so proud of her. I can't believe she'll be a sophmore this August. Crazy...

Family reunion

Bay and Maddy at our family reunion in June on Nana's ranger. They crack me up!

Me, Erin, and our cousin, Jill the pill, at the reunion

We all had a great time taking rides in the ranger. Later that night we even went
out spotlighting in it! We had a great time in the pines!

Kade and some of the Butler cousins on Aunt Dana's trampoline. Cute little women!

Aunt Faun and my little Cal pal

Disneyland and Beach fun

This was the scariest ride any of my kids would go on. Seriously!!!

We loved the "Honey, I shrunk the audience" show!

Me strikin a pose with Jason at the beach They had such a great time at the beach. I love my kids!

Pierce celebrated his 4th birthday on April 26th. And I celebrated buying my last diapers for good! I won't be missing that!!

We finally got our back yard done. It was alot of work for such a tiny space!

Bailey was such a hard worker! We never would have gotten it done without her!

Pierce lookin manly with his shovel on top of the pile of dirt. And ya, surprise, surprise, he's not wearing any pants. So out of character for my boys.... Ha!

Bailey and I laid all the sod ourselves. And the grass is growing! Girl power!

Jason wearing the beard he found in our garage that day. Warms my heart to see him and the boys supervising. That's the hardest part, right???? He's watching me and Bay thinking," Can't you women move any faster, geez! And one of you ladies fetch me a drink, I'm parched!" :)

Erin and Joe's newest addition, Maxwell Joseph. Such a tender little man!

My little superhero, Cameron. He cut these glasses out himself! He's so creative. I love the

little bugger!!

As I was soaking in the tub the other morning, I glanced up and saw these little treasures stuck in the votives hanging on our bathroom wall. Their toys turn up in the most interesting places!

Which leads me to this picture. As we were climbing into bed that very night Jason turned down the covers to find a few of Pierce's toys he must have been hiding. We just grinned at each other and said how we love our little boys . In the words of one of Kenny Chesnea's songs, that's " The good stuff". Stuff we'll miss sooo much years from now. I love my kids!:)

Me and the man at Bellagio out with friends last weekend.

Jason and his peeps, Paul and Brett. I think they have a little BROmance goin on!

Me and Kim on the plane on our way to Los Angeles this past weekend. What fun!

The whole reason I went. To listen to the waves on the beach! Aaah!!

This is our shy shepard, Pierce who did a great job as we did our nativity scene at Aunt Erin's tonight!
