O's First Day of Kindergarten!

My little O has started Kindergarten! I can't believe how big my baby is! O is a carefree, spunky, gorgeous girl. She is always trying to make others laugh. She is definitely going to be the class clown! (heaven help her teacher!) hahaha!!! She is also a very compassionate child with a heart the size of Texas. I love you Peanut! Have a fantastic year!

O working hard on her 1st day!

I was invited to her 1st day. We visited a few different stations where there were different projects. One was her hand print!

Where did the time go?

Yes, I cried!

K's first day of 2nd grade!

I can't believe how big my little girl is! K started 2nd grade this year! She is such a fun, vibrant, beautiful girl. She is my little go getter! She is always doing what she is supposed to, and mothering all who aren't! She is perfect in so many ways! I love you Bug! Have an awesome year!

We are truly enjoying every possible moment of summer on our new boat! I am so excited about the family time it provides for us! Already we have made some super fun memories! K learned to ski!
O did too!

Bermuda!

I have to say that I am so lucky to be married to Bryce! He is such an amazing husband and a wonderful father. Bryce and I were rewarded this trip to Bermuda based on Bryce's hard work for 2009! Thanks for working your tail off and being such a great example to all around you! Love ya!

Our Cruise!

Bryce and I celebrated our 10th Anniversary this year! Can you believe it? We decided to celebrate in style and go on a cruise for our anniversary! We seriously had so much fun....I'm pretty sure we are officially addicted to cruises! :) Thanks Amy and Andy for coming with us and making this trip so memorable!

Growing Up!!

My baby graduated from preschool, and learned how to ride her bike without training wheels! This is definitely a bittersweet thing for me. I love seeing her succeed and be awesome at things, but at the same time I just want her to stay my little peanut! :(

O and her FAVORITE MS. ANGIE
The graduation cake! yummy!!!

And she's off!!

Dance!!

The girls finished up dance this June. They did an absolute awesome job!! They looked so dang cute as they danced their little hearts out!! Love these girly girls!!

Hoppy Easter!!!

We have enjoyed a long weekend of fun Easter events!!!

We started off dying eggs and actually painting them! We normally don't take that much time to paint each individual one, but we did this time, and they all looked amazing!! :)

Friday night, we had a big Easter party at Grandma and Grandpa's house!! Every year they hide over 300 eggs for the grand kids! They absolutely LOVE it!

This morning the girls woke us up early eagerly anticipating their baskets! The Easter Bunny did not miss us!! He is truly amazing!!! Crazy rabbit! :)

I hope you all have a wonderful Easter!

When was the last time you had "Robin Egg" lip stick?

The two cutest girls on Easter morning!

O finding all the eggs

K finding all the rest!

Dying the eggs! So much fun!

Happy April Fool's Day!

I have to say that April Fool's Day is one of my favorite days!! I LOVE pulling pranks! Most of the time I can't wait for this day. Poor Bryce ends up getting the brunt of things all year long! Thanks for being a good sport honey! You're the best! :)

These pranks were the girls ideas!!! They are taking after me for sure! hahaha!

Yummy toothpaste Oreo's! Don't you wish you could have some?

Tribute to K!

I always feel a little funny tooting my own kids horn because lets face it I'm a realist, I know my kids aren't perfect, but they are pretty amazing! Beside which, if I don't toot it who will? That being said, I have to brag about K! Earlier this week, we had parent teacher conference. K's teacher just gushed over how wonderful K is, and what a joy she is to have in class! She then pulled out some of K's work and proceeded to tell us how amazingly brilliant she is!! (Every mother wants to hear that!) K is scoring top of her class on everything, and is reading at a 3rd grade level!! (She is definitely my child!!! hahaha!) K is such an amazing little girl. I know I am sometimes hard on her, but I know she can do anything she puts her mind to. Great Job K Cutie Pie!!!

If You Take My Kids Shopping......

If you take my kids shopping, this is what you are going to get! I'm sure it bugged people that I was letting my girls "dress up" but no worries, those people didn't know they were my kids! I kept asking the girls, "Where is your mother?" and making comments like, "What kind of mother lets their kids do things like that?" I'm pretty sure no one knew it was me! ;)
Don't you think these pictures will be great blackmail some day?!

Some Off Track Fun!

Oh my where does the time go?! We had a fabulous three weeks off recently! While K was off track, we tried to fit in a few fun things!! Some highlights include: Utah Gymnastics!! The Lady Ute's are sooooo much fun to watch!! Another fun thing was the "Sweet's Candy Factory" with Oakley's class. We also spent some time at Jumping Jack's! So much fun to be off track! Lady Ute's Rock!
