LOVE BEING A MOM

Mother's Day.....What an amazing title!!

I feel so blessed to be a mom! I have such incredible children, each one of them with their own personalities and strength to endure!! I am amazed at what each of them teach me!! They continue to keep me on my toes and fill my spirit with so much joy!!

Happy Mother's Day is Right!! I am so Happy I am a Mommy!!

The only part of Mother's Day that Breaks my heart!!

Safeco, Spring Break, Sister's Weekend

Mt.View Baseball has an awesome opportunity to play at Safeco. Not only do they get to play on a major league field, but they get to be in the dugout, be announced, be on the "big" screen! The boys love it!! And so do our families, we kind of get to go and do around the stadium, unlike when you are there for a mariner's game you are bound by your assigned seats. Thanks to everyone who continues to buy tickets from us to make this possible for Skyler and the rest of the Mt.View Baseball players

Spring Break in Seattle is kind of a joke..... our weather is not really spring break weather. We as a family can't really go any where since Skyler has league games that week. We did a lot of activities in spite of the weather. We even went to the ocean!!

Sisters Weekend....I don't really even need to say much more! I am so lucky to have such an awesome family!! I am grateful to my sisters who love me unconditionally and who are such a blast to hang out with. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. The best part about my family is we are VERY easily entertained.... we don't ever have to have a schedule, and sitting and eating all weekend is completely ok!!

SO CRAZY

This isn't the best picture of Lexis but I had forgotten about it until I was going through some of Paris' pictures. We received this painting of Paris at her luncheon after her funeral. I remember when I first saw it, I thought to myself "that's not Paris" the sweet lady who painted it then told me this isn't exactly what the only picture she had of Paris looked like but it was what was in her minds eye......
They don't look exactly alike but that is SO CRAZY!!

Mormon Prom!!

Skyler and Megan went to Mormon Prom!!

They both said it was the prettiest decorations they have ever seen! Waaay better than any of the school dances!! Plus the music and dancing was actually appropriate.....it's hard to enjoy the school dances when the music and dancing make you feel so uncomfortable!! The food was yummy, the company was great and the after prom party was a blast!!

They make ice cream sculptures.....

I have A Graduate!

Hunter has graduated....

FROM D.A.R.E!!

I love the Dare program. I know there are a lot of people in the world who aren't sure about the program and it gets some thumbs down....but I give it two thumbs up!! I love how much the kids learn and actually see the consequences of Drugs and Alcohol.

Hunter got to wear the "drunk" glasses he said it was so weird, and he never wants to actually feel that!!

No Fun To Blog When There Are So Many Struggling.....But here it goes

What a FUN month February is, it makes me want to jump up and down and yell I love you, I love you!!(Dallis did it for me:) I know, I know most MEN don't....they thinks it's a girls month because of Valentines Day. Well, IT IS!!! I just think its real simple, its a day were, as a man if you aren't real lovey dovey then here's your chance to score some REAL points with your wife!! I find it interesting why anyone would hate a holiday where we get to show the people we love most just a little extra love'n!! My husband by the way is not one of those men who hates Valentines day. And, since he can't seem to EVER be done with me Valentines Day comes easy for him!! This year I did things a little different since Valentines Day was on Sunday, instead of doing all my fun stuff in the morning before they rush off to school I spread it out throughout the whole day. Way more fun this way!!

This is so Dallis right now she just loves Lexis so much she wants to just squeeze her


Skyler gave this to his girlfriend White Chocolate dipped oreos, they were yummy!!


Fun candy shakes I made for everyone

Do you think I have a problem.....

Dallis is 3

So, it happened.... Dallis turned 3, I know, I know she will turn 4, 5, and even 16 eeek!! I can't really explain why her turning 3 is such a big deal, I mean the obvious (Paris never was 3) but I wish I could put it into real words!!
Despite my emotions we had a BLAST!! We really didn't do anything big, she went to school, we went to gym starz and then for dinner, we went to Old Mc Donald's. She was simply adorable and the things that came out of her yesterday were bossy and super funny! I can't believe I said that in the same sentence! She loves to sing, dance, boss everyone around and pray! Even this morning the day after she woke up, walked out and since the house was still decorated she goes
"ooooa, oooooa" shook her shoulders and asked "what's for breakfast"

Here are a few Pictures from her BIG day!!

French Fries and Ice Cream My kind of Girl!
