Mother's Day!

Mother's Day
May 11-13, 2012

We had an eventful, fun Mother's Day weekend! 
You can tell from the 49 photos below!

We headed to Utah for the weekend, that is where the majority of my family is found. My mom and dad and Brad and Becky are in Heber City and Chad and Amanda are in Provo. Of course we missed Clay and Linsey and the girls all weekend!!! Later in June we ALL will be together!!!

On Friday night Uncle Aaron/Dad created some "sumo fun" with a Bed Bath & Beyond sack, pillow, and of course some kids!








Oh  my!
 One thing I really wanted to do was go to the Provo Temple. So early Saturday morning we did a session with Chad and Amanda. It was perfect!

first time at the Provo temple for me

After the temple we had to do a drive by the stadium (like we always do when we are in Provo) and check out this awesome photo I took! Timing is everything!
Then we saw a DQ! Of course we stopped! A blizzard at 10 in the morning, why not? 
 Later Saturday afternoon we took the kids bowling in the cool bowling alley of Heber! Abby and Stockton loved playing/being with their cousins Haylee and Bryson!






Bryson loved helping Stockton! He is going to be a great big brother to his new little brother!


Sunday morning before we had church we had a HUGE, YUMMY breakfast with all of us! 
It was Amanda's birthday that day (on Mother's Day, how neat is that for her!) and Haylee's birthday in a week, so we stuck candles in their french toast and sang to them!

I was manning that griddle!




Stockton's crazy hair!

Before church we took some cute photos of us mother's and Abby!
the girls!



Family photos!



All of us being Abby's mother!!

Amanda and the kids went out and had some fun with sidewalk chalk! So cute, what a cool auntie she is!


On the way home from Utah we stopped in Inkom to see Aaron's mom and family!
We roasted hot dogs!

Easy as that.

Mother's (Grandma's) Day Project

May 8, 2012

Mother's Day project for the Grandma's!
Thank you Pinterest!


Abby was behind the camera a few times. Stockton has a juice mustache. And I'm  a tired cheeser!








On a few of them I cut out pictures of Abby and Stockton and put them in their hand. Did not get a picture, but very cute!


All Set!

Spring Mini Cheer & Tumble

May 2, 2012

Abby has been in mini cheer and tumble class the past 4 months. We took the Fall session off so I could take piano lessons, so Abby was very excited to get back into it! This is her 3rd season of mini cheer and tumble, and continues to enjoy it and get better! This day she had pictures, so we took a few before we went! Lucky for me I can take a zillion pictures of her before we go to the actual pictures and know that she will still be up for more...now if this was family pictures it would be a whole different story...!
And yes the bow is BIG, I guess that is the cheerleading way...... we tried many poses to make the bow not look so big.....







My favorite!
