HAPPY BIRTHDAY BENNY!!

Ben got another year older so we went out and celebrated. I'm sure glad I'm not as old as him:)

We hit up the fancy Ruth Chris (Ben only eats at the finest places) then went to a movie. Thanks for the invite and thanks to such AMAZING friends, we would be nothing without you guys.

COUNSELING FOR LIFE

Our best est, best est, best est buddies/neighbors decided to up and move on us. To say were devastated/crushed is an understatement. We are very mad at them but also support their decisions. My kids are just  going to need counseling the rest of their lives and Tueller's are going to pay for it. They were kind enough to invite us to one last BBQ in their backyard though. :)

PAYING OUR RESPECT'S

We were out of town on Memorial Day so later in the week we headed to Bountiful to go visit my Grandparents graves. Its a great tradition we do with the kids and I'm so grateful for all the women and men who fight for this country so we can live in it. For those who have given the ultimate sacrifice and died for us. There is NEVER enough "thank you" for all that you do for us!!

 Wonder what was so intriguing to the kids in the sky?

MOVING ON UP!!

This little beauty decided to grow up on me and graduate Kindergarten. What am I going to do with my life with 2 kids in School full time? They had a cute program at School but Dad was out of town so Grandma B was kind enough and came out to support.

 Stop growing Baby!

 Grandma and Miss P

 My baby

 Right before School ended we went to the lunch room and had lunch to ease some of her fears about School lunch. Also try and remember her 9 digit lunch #. Seems a little extreme to me, I can barley remember a phone # these days.

 Miss P also received a "Leadership in Me Award"

Last day of School with her teacher Mrs. Taylor

It was field day so she is soaking wet from the fire truck spraying them.

BABY DAXTON

I threw my cousin Crystal a baby shower for her little bundle of joy. 

 The party favors

Sugar scrub and then hand sanitizer with the saying

"Thanks you for coming and touching Crystal's life, now you'll be able to touch her baby!"

My cousins made her this cute diaper cake 

 Then my cousin Sammi made this cute motorcycle rider

 Instead of playing games we had a craft party. We made these cute baby blocks and onesies

HIKING

We went for a hike over Memorial Day. Thanks heavens for the Burt's who can get us onto private land. :) So no one was there and it was absolutely beautiful, perfect hike for the kids!! Quinn's parents came up and joined us for the day.

 Our attempt at a picture with the cousins. Ellie was so afraid of the water because she said "Grandma say I can't go by the water" so that's why Caleb is holding her back.

 A little better attempt at a picture

 Us with Gramps and Grammy

 Us with the Burt's

 Peyton fell and scrapped her knee. I told her to "buck up and walk" but Gramps came to the rescue and carried her.

 Caleb found a caterpillar

Then to end the day we chucked huge rocks in the river and tried to see who made the biggest splash. I think Jason won that one. Poor Stefanie, Rylee and Jamo were just standing there peacefully and Jason drops a monstrous rock and drenched all of them.

HAPPY...HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEB!!

My awesome friend Deb had another Birthday, which meant another night out with some awesome girls. Talking, laughing, eating way too much. Happy Birthday to an AMAZING girl who looks at everything with a positive attitude and can always cheer you up!! Love ya 

 Stefanie, Laurie and Holly

 Andrea, Ambur, Deb and Me

All of us, blessed to have each of these girls in my life!!
