Stawberry days

Now that we live in Pleasant Grove, we have to make Strawberry Days part of our summers. We went to the carnival this year and Owen had a ball.

And who doesn't LOVE strawberries and cream!

Family Vacation 2011

We had a very fun and fast summer this year. Most of our time was spent working on our yard trying to get grass in but we did find time to have a little fun.

Terrell is very into softball again this year and loves every game. He looks forward to it each week. He had a game down in provo and we decided to go early and take a few pics of the kids. I cannot believe how grown up they are.

Owen is my bundle of joy.

I feel like Desi is growing up way too fast. She is all smiles and loves the camera.

My mother-in-law got us 7 peaks passes for Christmas last year and the kids and I took full advantage of it.

At the end of June, Terrell had a bunch of time off so we took our big family vacation. We invited Terrell's parents to come along and it was a blast. We toured some of the National parks in Utah and Colorado and then headed to a Rockies baseball game.

We encountered our fair share if wildlife on the trip. It was my first time seeing a moose. And did I get to see it. We woke up one morning and there was one about 15 feet away. Then the next day, we were hiking on a trail and there was another one way close.

One of the camping sites we stayed in had a grass feild right next to our site and when we got there the sprinklers were on. So while we were setting up camp, we let owen play for a little. He had a great time getting soaked!!

There was plenty of beautiful scenery and all kinds of hikes we did. It was an amazing adventure.

The last day, we took Owen to Georgetown, CO. They have an old railroad that they do tours on and Owen LOVED it!

THE ROCKIES GAME!!!!

I love how in every picture, Terrell has a mouth full of sunflower seeds!

5 year anniversary


Terrell and I celebrated out 5 year anniversary on March 3rd. We didn't have big plans to celebrate but the weekend was wonderful. My parents agreed to watch the kids and we were able to SLEEP IN!!! I haven't done that in a while. We went shopping and to a movie and to dinner, just us. Then came home and spent some time with Owen. We got the pass of all passes for Christmas and love using them. So we took Owen to Trafalga for some 1 on 1 time with mom and dad.
Terrell, I love you so much. i cannot imagine my life without you. You are an amazing father and husband. I thank the lord every day for you and for the ability for us to be together forever. Here is too many more years to come!!!

MORE DESI PICTURES




Terrell and I love to take pictures of the kids on Sunday mornings before church. Here are some from a few weeks ago. She is becoming such a cute little girl with such a personality.



CHRISTMAS
I never posted anything about Christmas. Terrell and I were really excited to have our first Christmas in our new house. We waited until Owen came into our room in the morning and then took him downstairs. He had been waiting for Santa to come for weeks. Terrell got a new ladder from Santa and Owen paid attention to that more than his present. We had to walk him over to his area.

Owen LOVED his new train table. He played with it the whole morning. He would open a present and then go back to the table. I did real good about taking price tags off this year. I think I had about 6 presents with them still on. He he.

My cute little girl!

Terrell snaped a few pics of Desi over the weekend. Here are a few. She is so cute!!!

Family Stockings

Since having Desi this year I needed to get some new stocking for the family for Christmas. I looked and looked and could not find anything that had more than 3 desings. So I finally went to a fabric store and got some drapery fabric to make my own. I decided to plan ahead and make a few extras for more kiddos. It cost me 11.75$ to make all 6. Wahoo!!! I think they turned out pretty good. When I get time I will embroider them with names, but not beofre this Christmas.

A photo session for our niece maddy

some updated pictures of the kids.

New House

We are officially moved into the new house. I will post pictures soon. We don't have interent over at the house yet so I am not on here very often. We will see when I get to it.

Family fall pictures

We tried to take some family pictures this week. Owen was Owen and did not want anything to do with us. Especially when he saw a cat and a tractor at the shoot site. Here are a few we got.

I love Owen in this shot. But Desi looks like a doll flopped over my arm.

Desi wanted to say HI!
