OUR BUDDIES!!

I just LOVE summer! I love being outside every night and letting the kids play. We have such a fun neighborhood where everyone comes out and all the kids play together but these two kiddos our some of the best. This is Caleb's best buddy Carson and his little sister Rylee. Peyton,Rylee, Caleb and the daredevil Carson hanging on the back as my son takes the corners WAY to fast!!

ARIZONA!!

We went to Arizona last weekend with some good friends of our's. Can I just say that place is stickin HOT!! We had alot of fun even though the boys were golfing almost everyday. We got there on Friday morning and me and Laurie went shopping ALL day long while the boys golfed and then that night we headed to the Arizona Diamondbacks game. It was pretty cool to see a real MLB game but its not as fun when you don't really have a team to cheer for but Ben grew up in California and he is a huge Angels fan and that was who they were playing so he loved it. Then on Saturday the boys once again golfed and we went shopping. On Sunday the boys golfed (I know big surprise)and we layed out by the pool and relaxed before heading home to see the kiddos. It was a fun, relaxing,hot weekend. Thanks for the fun trip we had ALOT of fun. I swear I can never get the pictures in order but anyways. This is Quinn and Ben at the game and check out that hot dog. It was a footlong with all the cheese and chilli in the world to feed a country. It was so gross and they both ate the whole thing.

7 YEARS!!

Wow, 7 years with my sweet husband! What a CRAZY ride we have been on but am so lucky to have found you. I love you and thank you for everything you do for me. You always put me first and know just how to make me happy (a little shopping money). We were able to celebrate over the weekend while my Mom was in town. We did the typical date night went to the movie, Hangover dinner at yummy Outback and then of course, he took me shopping to get ready for our weekend away with NO kids. We are heading to Arizona on Friday for shopping, golfing(Quinn) and laying out. Once again I love you and thank you!! I wanted to find a wedding picture but they are on the other computer and I would have no idea how to get them off. So here is my HOT husband and me on our cruise a year ago.

PRESCHOOL GRADUATION

Caleb graduated from preschool last week. I can not believe my little boy is old enough to head to Kindergarten. His Kindergarten is full day so it is going to be a hard change for me and especially Peyton, when Caleb is gone for a couple of hours she is always asking, "Where Caleb?" I am so proud of him and love him to death. He is the best little boy and is sooooo excited to head to a big boy school. We love you buddy!! They did a program and then had a little graduation for all the kids.Caleb, Daddy and Peyton
The theme was silly songs. He did so good and actually did the actions and sung. (He is the 3rd one from the left on the bottom).

LITTLE GYM GRADUATION!!

Peyton has been taking a class with her cousin Tate for the last couple of months and they had a little graduation for them. It was so cute and the BEST place ever, Peyton was always so shy and if anyone EVER looked at her and said something to her she would scream bloody murder and run. After taking this class she is not as shy and will actually let people talk to her now it brought her out of her comfort zone for sure. Her teacher Braden was the BEST. She was a little onrey this day so she is crying in all the pictures but she really did love going. Her with her teacher Braden.
She got a certificate of graduation and that was very exciting for her.

LAKE POWELL!!

We went to Lake Powell about 2 weeks ago I am just slow on blogging. We took Peyton this time but she actually did good. Caleb is for sure my water baby he will jump off any cliffs, knee board, and tube. She was a little hesitant on getting in the water but would have fun after a while. We all went on the tube and she LOVED it, but Quinn's mom was taking all the pictures so hopefully I will get some from her. We had alot of fun and thanks to Papa and Mama for taking us and driving 6 hours in the car with 2 little ones. Caleb jumping off the cliff!

Getting into the water the first time, it was pretty darn cold so she wasn't such a fan!

My handsome boy!

MEMORIAL DAY!!

We had a great weekend for Memorial Day! We loved having our daddy home for 3 days and loved hanging out with each other!! On Memorial Day we went and visited some gravesites of loved ones who have passed on. I would like to thanks those who have sacraficed their lives for us so we can live in this GREAT country of ours!! We had very fun visting my Grandpa Thomas's grave who died in 2003, so Caleb never got to meet him so he wanted to hear all kinds of stories about him and it was fun to tell them. Then we went and visited my Grandma and Grandpa Roberts's grave. That one was hard it was to fresh and soon for me, but Caleb was able to tell us stories about "old" Grandpa and then I told him stories about Grandma who died back in 1997. Then we went and visited Quinn's best friend Mark who passed away last year due to cancer. It was fun to teach Caleb the meaning of Memorial Day and he loved putting the flowers on all the graves. Good memories and I hope we continue them. We love and miss each and everyone one of you guys and your always in our thoughts!! Then we headed up to Quinn's parents for a little BBQ and hike but I forgot to take pictures!! Here we are at my Grandma and Grandpa Robert's grave. Don't mind Peyton and her glasses she put them on in the car and no joking did not take them off until 3 hours later!

Caleb wanted to take a picture of us, I think he did pretty darn good if you ask me!

Sweet Mark!!
