Beau is such a fun boy to have around. He makes us laugh every day and we can’t get enough of him. He likes to say “daddy” all day long but he’s started saying “juice” and “cracker”. He likes to play basketball, do puzzles, color on anything and everything with crayons, and play with his tools. He also goes to nursery now! He loves it! He’s been doing a ...
2014
New Years Eve was a ton of fun this year. Josh and Mandy were heading home to San Diego and stayed with us for New Years. We took them to Lucille’s at Red Rock for dinner and then headed home to stay up late playing card games and Train-one of our favorite traditions with them! We miss living across the street from these guys! We’ve enjoyed the super nice weather ...
Christmas
We had a great Christmas season packed with lots of fun Christmas traditions and activities. We had one very excited Kayli and a Beau who was pretty excited about Christmas trees, lights, and all of his new trucks. Kayli learned the story of Jesus’ birth and loves to sing Jingle Bells and Up on the Housetop. She also had a blast baking Christmas treats. There’s just something ...
Kayli’s 3rd Birthday
For her 3rd birthday, Kayli wanted a Princess and Pirate party so the girls dressed up in princess dresses and the boys dressed up as pirates. They were all adorable! My family all walked in dressed up too-even my dad! It was such a fun party. The kids played Pin the Tiara on the Princess, they walked the plank, and went on a treasure hunt. I don’t love planning parties but it ...
Disneyland
We took a random, quick trip down to Disneyland a few days ago. I love Disneyland and I love it even more now that I have kids. Kayli was so excited to meet the princesses, of course. She was so funny though. She talked about how she was going to sing them their songs and yet when she actually met them she wouldn’t say anything. You could tell she was in awe though and she just ...
Halloween!
Halloween was a blast. Kayli was set on being a witch and Beau wore a hand-me-down lion costume. Kayli totally understood what was going on and by the end of last night Beau had the hang of it all too. Nothing was cuter to me than watching the kiddos trick-or-treat door-to-door last night. They went trick-or-treating a total of four times this year-but last night was definitely ...
Utah Trip
A few weekends ago we headed up to Utah for my cousin, Christina’s, wedding. It’s always fun to see all my Utah family and Kayli loves all my girl cousins who are just as fun as her aunts. There’s also lots of fun 2nd cousins for her to play with. Rachel and her kids and my mom and dad also went and we all got to stay at my Grandma and Grandpa’s house. We love it there! Beau ...
Beau is 1!
Our little Beau turned one on August 10th. He is so fun to have around. Here’s a few things about him: 1. He weighs 19 lbs. 8 oz. 2. He is so friendly! 3. He loves to climb the stairs but he knows he’s not supposed to…so he climbs two stairs and then looks back at us smiling, waiting for us to see that he really is about to do it anyway. 4. He is a great eater. He eats ...
Birthdays
Well I’ve never done anything like this before… Did you know that the Rio’s pool is free for locals? And it has four awesome pools?! I took the kids with Rachel and Russ and their kids and my parents. It was great! I had a birthday. I’m 28 now. Kenny made sure I had a lot to do that day. My visiting teachers, Krystal and Ketura, (who I LOVE) ...
Utah and Fourth of July
In June we went to Utah for my family reunion. I have so many memories of this place from when I was a kid and yet I hadn’t been back in about 6 years! It was fun taking my own kids and spending time with so many of my cousins. Kayli loved running around, watching the Heber Creeper train, playing in the water, and playing games. Love this big boy! We stayed at ...
