Family Vacation

We decided to take a family vacation this summer to the beach. We rented a really cute condo on the beach and the three of us spent a week there. We went a few beaches, swam in the community pool, and spent a day at a really cool outdoor mall. It was relaxing and a lot of fun. It's the first big vacation we have taken since having Maddux. After a week at the beach house we visited Greg's parents for a weekend and were lucky enough to welcome a new niece into the family. Greg's sister Taryn had a baby girl. They named her Macy she was 6lbs. 11 oz. and is just the sweetest little thing. It was so much fun to be able to spend this time together relaxing and then end the weekend with family. Here is a little movie of our whole trip. Hope you enjoy!

Water Park

We took Maddux to this really cute water park in St. George and had so much fun.

Here he is all ready for the park!

There were so many kids running around that he was hesitant at first..he just stood there looking around

Once he warmed up he loved the waterfalls probably the most

He would even try to stick his head in them to get his hair wet. It was so cute. I think the next time we go we will have to bring some of his buddy's along so feels a little more comfortable.

Grandma is trying to convince him that it's fun!

They also have this big water fountain that he liked but while we were over here he saw some bikes that kids had laid down on the grass and he walked over to one of them and grabbed the water bottle off of it and tried to take a drink...it was funny but gross too!

I just LOVE summer...water activities, sunshine, and hanging with my little guy!

Girl's Night Out!

One our way to California for our family vacation we stopped in Vegas for a night to see my family. Since the boys were watching the NBA playoffs we decided to leave the baby's with them and have a girls night out. It was so much fun! We went to a drive in movie theater and watched the new disney movie UP! It was a blast. Here are a few pictures...

Daddy's Boy

Recently Maddux has become Greg's little shadow. He just adores his Dad. He wants to be wherever Greg is and loves helping him. Greg is so cute with him too...he is always explaining everything to him and letting him try things out. Maddux even cries when Greg leaves the house and gets so excited when he hears the garage open and knows he's home....he runs to the garage saying "Daddy..daddy" and opens the door. (Unlike when I leave and he simply says Bye! and waves to me)
Watching the two of them together is one of my favorite things in the whole world.

I feel so lucky to have these two boys in my life... I couldn't ask for anything more. I love you both!

End Of The School Year!

This year was hard for me to say goodbye to my kids! I LOVED my class this year and was sad to send them onto fifth grade. Here are a few pictures from our last day of school together


We made tie-dye shirts for our dance festival performance. We taught them the Hustle and the Electric Slide. It was so much fun!

The worst part of the end of this year was that my family...all three of us got the flu the last week of school. Maddux got it the worst and so both Greg and I had to miss a few days of school to get ourselves and our little guy better. He got it so sick he got dehydrated and had to get an IV. Here is a (self-took) picture of us at the IV clinic. It was definitely an emotional and hectic end of the year!

New Calling

I was recently called to be the achievement days leader for my ward and I love it! This is a picture of the girls on one of our activity days doing facials. They are such a great bunch of girls and I feel lucky to be working with them.

Candice's Wedding

I was able to go to my little sisters best friends wedding in the SLC temple. It was a really neat sealing and it was so much fun to hang out with my Mom and sisters!
