Will & Tucker's Birthday Bash




We combined Tucker & Will's birthday this year. We ALWAYS seem to be out of town on Tucker's birthday . . . and/or his friends are gone - he really has been wanting a big party - so we had it combined with Will's.

We rented Brimhall pool to accommodate big family, friends for both kids - it was a ton of fun! It was memorial weekend - they're were quite a few that still were out of town (thank goodness . . . we had a great turnout!)

SChOooools Out for Summer! & TALYOR SWIFT

I love having my kids home - I'm glad that school is finally out!

We lucked out and had the chance to pick-up Taylor Swift tickets because another family didn't realize that it was graduation night and their son was graduating - so took Carson and a friend. She took one of her best friends - Kassidy.  So far I just love Taylor Swift for our girls (and me)  She is such an adorable entertainer.  

Westgate area is soooo beautiful. They have many top restaurants, shopping, movie theatres, water fountain shows at the Jobing.com arena. Doug and I took the girls and hung out - it was fun.

Will & Baseball!

The season is over for Will - they had a good run. They were fourth in the player pool. They had won their game 10 -4. There was one minute left in the game. The OD told them to play one more inning. The other team came back and won - so now they are out - it was a BUMMER in the end. But . . . I'm glad to have one less practice, game etc. . . to go to - because it is getting HOT!!! Will was really into baseball this season. I think he has found his sport. We really like our boys to try everything and have fun trying different activities. However with Will he is so limited what he can do with his heart. There are so many sports that can't play - the fact that He did really well this year and wanted for himself is exciting to see him grow.

Things I loved about Will & Baseball:
1 - He is a great catcher! He's not afraid of the ball coming to him, and he seem's comfortable in that position.
2 - You can tell he thinks he is cool when he is up to bat. (Tucker concentrates soooo hard to play well - at times he doesn't look relaxed. . . Will doesn't even care what he is doing - he really is having fun)
3 - One time Will was at the plate waiting for a good pitch. A helicopter flew by - he actually started to watch it instead of playing, he was called a strike because he was so busy looking at the sky - soooo funny!!!
4 - As much as he can get distracted, when he is concentrating . . . he really is starting to understand the game and knows where the next play is.
5 - He never can find his cleats when we need them (I love it now that the season is over)
6 - He has had the same number for the last 4 years - #8 - I'm not sure if he will be able to handle another number. He is becoming possessive!
7 - He is always wanting snacks from the snack bar. My boys live to go and buy things on their own there. Snow cones, nacho's, candy etc. . .
8 - It was fun to see how much he has grown. His pants were not so short or tight at the beginning of the season - he has outgrown them.
9 - He had a lot of friends on the team this year that he knew from school - it made it worth it!

Tender Moments!


Today . . . Rowdy was being so cute! I had someone stop by the house for some work. Rowdy just keep being so cute and he started to get really worked up. After the gal left, he was running really fast and fell. He was crying. I went over to him and picked him up and hugged him in the hallway. We have this really great Christ picture by Del Parson's that we bought through Raymond Designs. Rowdy saw the picture and IMMEDIATELY stopped crying. He pointed to Christ and started to laugh, smile, and giggle. He touched the picture of Christ and kept saying something that I couldn't understand but it was clear that he knew what he was saying. . . . I could feel a piece of heaven in my home at that moment. I could feel the love that our Savior had for my son. It felt even better then if it had been for me . . . because I love my son, and it feels so good to have someone else see their potential and greatness that I see. I appreciated that tender moment that I had with my son, who is a child of God. I loved how inherently Rowdy knew who is his Savior who loves him.

Women's Conference









I had the opportunity to go to women's conference again. I just love all the classes they offer. I feel so uplifted. I know everything they say are thing that I do know . . . but there is something about getting a full dose for 2 whole days that really makes an impact. I had such a great time with friends. I really enjoy going with great women that enjoy the same things that I do!!! We all have such silly fun!
