We have walls!

I know it's silly, but I still get excited over everything that's happening in building our home!
We now have footings and foundation walls, but no floor yet.
Reggie's working so hard everynight to get it done for us! He's such a hard worker, I wish that I could help more.

8 Years Together!

Me and Reggie just had our 8 year wedding anniversary! I'm shocked every year that it's been that long. But we have a lot more anniversaries to go. Love you tonz babe! We've yet to celebrate it, cuz we've been so crazy busy. But we will, no worries!

We've finally started building our house!

Well...sort of. We have a hole though! I'm so excited! We've been waiting for close to 1 1/2 years to get this process started. These are a few pictures of Reggie digging the hole...What a hottie of a construction worker!

Swimming with the Family

Yesterday we went to Seven Peaks for a little family "staycation" (as I guess it's called.) It was so much fun! Playing in the sun, swimming, going on slides, just being with the family. Skyla is a little fish, I almost can't get her to keep her head out of the water long enough to talk to her. Taytem is a squirmy little fish, wanting to do so much "by myself." Reggie had tonz of fun too!

These are a few pictures that we got of the little girls tackling Shane and pushing him off a tube.

10 Year High School Reunion

I can't believe that I'm this old! I went to my 10 year high school class reunion this last week and it was SO FUN! I don't have any pictures, but wish I would've taken my camera. It was so fun to see how people have changed over the last 10 years, and catch up with some people that I haven't seen since high school.

Skyla's first swimming lessons

Skyla took swimming lessons for the past 2 weeks. She loved it! She learned so much! Holly was a great teacher! These are a few pictures of her last day.

4th of July Parade!

Just for Kicks Dance Studio was in the parade for the 4th of July in Farr West! The girls danced and marched and threw candy at times too.

Taytem came to join the fun on the trailer when she saw us.
It was tonz of fun!

"Poppers"

We went to see the fireworks in Logan on July 3rd with Grandma Jami, Grandpa Brad, Sarah, Jeremy, Trey and Avery! Before the real fireworks started, the kids had their own fireworks with "Poppers."

They weren't always strong enough to throw them and have them pop, they'd have to step on them quite often.

Soon, Taytem gave up completely on throwing and just set them down to step on them.

First time out on the boat this year!

This weekend we went boating with Grandma Jami and Grandpa Brad. It was the first time out on the boat this year. We had a few technical difficulties, but once we got it all worked out it was so fun! Skyla and Reggie were the first ones out on the tube. Then grandpa dumped them, on accident of course, but Skyla wasn't quite so ready to go again for a while.

Taytem went with her daddy on the tube next!
Skyla went with me next.
Then when Skyla went with her Daddy again, she got a little more daring!
After the girls were done, I went out on the tube myself for a little warm up. It was supposed to be a warm up, too bad Reggie didn't get a picture of how much air I caught on the tube, warm up my a**! We had TONZ of fun though!

Sunday Afternoon Tradition

Reggie and the girls have a sunday afternoon tradition of sharing a bagel sandwich. Skyla and Reggie make the sandwich, Skyla really does her part too. Then they sit down at the table and alternate bites off the same sandwich. It's not the same to have your own sandwich, and not the same sharing with anyone else. These are a few pictures we took today.

Founder's Day Parade

For the Founder's Day parade, Mom had a float introducing her new preschool. Skyla and Taytem got to ride on the float with Mom and some of their other cousins. They looked really cute and even won an award! What cuties!

Happy Father’s Day

For Father’s Day, we went down to Jill’s picture studio again at her house, and took some fun pictures of Skyla and Taytem for their DAD. It was also Reggie's birthday on Father's Day, but he likes to have as little atttention paid to his birthday as possible. Anyways, Happy Father's Day and Happy Birthday Reggie! We love you!

Taytem’s 2nd Birthday

My baby is growing up so fast! Theses are pictures from Taytem’s birthday party.

We had some family members over and had cake and ice cream and let all the kids play in the backyard.

It was really cute, Taytem picked out how she wanted her cake and how she wanted the cupcakes.

Then we had some fun making the balloons match.

She got fun present from our great family – Thanks again to all our family!!

She was all “blinged” out before too long!

She’s so big! Happy Birthday baby!

Mother's Day pictures!

For Mother's Day, we always give pictures of the girls as a present. These are some of my favorites. Warning...picture overload!

Skyla’s preschool graduation

I’m sad, my baby is getting so big. Skyla went to her first year of preschool this year. She absolutely loved it!
It was such a cute group, I don’t know how she couldn’t love it. It was called, “Pink Ladies Preschool.” It was made up of 8 little girls, Skyla being the youngest.
Their teachers, were their mom’s. It was set up for the girls to go to a new house each week, and have the mom of the house teach the lesson that week.
I loved teaching them! Theses are pictures from the graduation, it was a Cinco de Mayo theme.
