it's official {No training wheels!}

I know i did a post a while back saying no training wheels, but that kind of fell through. The other night Broc and I had co-ed softball games and when we went to get the kids at grandmas, Brylee had learned to ride with no training wheels, but this time it was for real! She did so good. These pics are of the next day. She is getting better and better and of course gets frustrated and tried to throw the bike but who wouldn't!? haha. She is getting better at pushing off and starting by herself. It's so sad to see her grow up, but so fun and rewarding watching her do it.

{Fathers Day} 2009

{new golf shoes! Just what he needed}

{reading the funny card i got him...hehe}


Broc is the best dad/husband we could have ever asked for. We love him so much and are so thankful for him and all his hard work (there's a lot of play in there too don't worry..haha) Thanks babe for all you do and for being such a fun dad for the kids!

We had a great Fathers Day....first we were on time to our 8:30 church, and after church we came home and we all had a 2 hour nap (that never happens). Then off to my moms we went to have dinner with a few of my family members that were in town. Then we had dinner later that night with Broc's parents. A great day over all!

{ridin' on the Mule with Grams}

Brylee and Payson love to ride on Grandpa's Mule. The other night Grandma gave them a ride and as you can see they quite enjoyed themselves! Thanks Grandma!

{Temple Square}

On our back from Utah we decided to stop at Temple Square and show the kids. We hadn't been there for a very long time. It was so beautiful and i love to see all the flowers this time of year. My kids loved the water of course! Payson actually tried to get in at one point.....we left soon after.

{Duchess}

While we were in Utah this past weekend we stayed at Travis and Audrey's (Broc's brother) and they have this beautiful new dog, Duchess. She is so pretty and my kids loved her. I wish i could have brought her home but Broc is anti- having a dog while living in town. *sigh* Someday kids!

{Brian and Abi's Wedding}

This last friday we drove down to Utah for my brothers wedding. Their reception was friday night and the wedding and and luncheon were on saturday. It was so good to have all of my siblings together. Brian is the last of 6 kids to get married so it was a big deal for my family. We have waited a very long time for this to happen. He is 31 and i think that waiting was worth it because he found the perfect girl for him! It was very touching to see all of my brothers be so close. They all have a special place in their hearts for Brian. He has always been the peace maker in our family. We love him so much! Congrats Brian and Abi!!!

Payson got this "boom" from his cousins house and wouldn't put it down. I think it's in all the reception pics. Here is him and Grandma Kay. He loves his grandmas!



Brylee and Hallie were sitting on this cute little chair. I tried to get a couple but Brylee's cheese face is a little overbearing! She's a cutie though!



All the guys. My 4 brothers and 1 brother in law and hott hubby along with Abi's brothers. And then a pic of Trav and Brian. These two are so close. They are the two brothers that are just older than me.



Mom and Dad! And Me and Brian the handsome groom.







{Wedding Day}


Brian was so happy. Their sealing was so special, they had a very good sealer. I am so happy for the two of them. It was a really good day and so sweet to see how close all my brothers are. They were so emotional, and just so happy for Brian.




Trav and Jess came clear from Seattle. We love to see them and i'm excited Jess will be here for 3 weeks so i can spend some time with her and the kiddos!

{Trucks n' Booms}

I wanted to record this stage that Payson is in before he grows out of it and i forget about it. I hope i never forget it though because it's one of the cutest things i've ever seen. This little guy is fascinated with "Trucks and Booms" (Booms are tractors and skid steers) We don't exactly know where he got Boom from but that's what he calls them. Most of the day you can find him either watching out his bedroom window looking at all the construction going on and saying over and over "boom mom boom!" or playing with one of his booms somewhere in the house or lately if the weather allows it...outside. The day i took these pics he was having so much fun using his boom to haul dirt all over our sidewalk. We do now have our sprinkler system done and a deck started so now if things go as planned we will soon have grass in the backyard! Broc says in the next couple weeks. I can't wait to get rid of all this dirt.....





(i gave him one of my big spoons to use as a shovel because he keeps losing all of his)

{4 Years Old}

Yesterday was Brylee's 4th Birthday. I had planned on doing this big party but the weather was going to be bad and i have been so busy that we just ended up taking her bowling and we had some friends come.....so much easier than a big party! She had a lot of fun too. We bowled and had pizza and then we came home and sang to her, had some yummy ice cream cake and opened her presents! She was very spoiled by everyone. Thanks Nicole and Tatum for coming and bringing the kids! I still can't believe she is 4. I love watching her grow and learn, she is one smart cookie!

Broc picked out the cake...Brylee loved it.

Just sang happy birthday to her so she was blushing:) (pics are kind of blurry sorry, still trying to figure out my camera.)

This handsome fella is Kreed

Nicole and Taylor....we just love them!

Payson's first time bowling

We got Bry this Leapster 2 and i think it's the best gift we've ever gotten her! She was busy playing it all night and i've never seen her sit still that long. haha! (it will be great for these upcoming trips to Utah)

And yes spoiled with a Razor! She is a lucky little girl surounded by friends and family who love her!

{Utah}

We roasted Hot dogs and smores in the canyon....and celebrated Whit's bday!




The favorite uncle (Brian) is always having fun with the kiddos!




We went to the Mayan Restuarant. These are the divers...scary! This is Jace, Jeremy, and Whitney. (she's prego with numero 5!)



Me and the soon to be groom, Brian. And then me and Kaylie, Ashlyn, Brynn, and Jace (whitney's kids)




This is the bridal shower we went for. Abi got this beautiful Temple pic!


This next month is CRAZY for us. I will have taken 3 trips to Utah this month when it's all said and done. I went to utah this last weekend for my future sis in law's bridal shower which was really fun to be able to go and finally meet some of her family. Her and my brother are a perfect match, and we are very excited to have her in our family! Then this coming weekend we go down for my nephews Baptism (i still can't believe he's that old!) And that is on Broc's side of the family so we get to enjoy some time with them. THEN the next weekend is Brian and Abi's wedding in Utah. I think i should just move down there for the next 3 weeks, what do you think?! oh wait one more thing, there is an open house the weekend after the wedding at my mom's house. And tomorrow is Brylee's bday. So yes... very busy month.
