WARNING: Lots of Pictures!

It was a very busy weekend for us! It started on Friday with us celebrating my friend Sheena's birthday. We had her and her husband, Sheridan, over for dinner. After dinner my friends, Jessi and Aaron, showed up to stay the night. We had cake with all of them and then played "Settlers of Catan." It was a really fun evening.

The next morning we got up early and went to the Sky Fest. It was really cool. We stood in the middle of all 17 hot air balloons and watched them get blown up and launched. Jeron loved every minute of it!

Later that day we went with some friends (Brent and Megan) up the canyon to take pictures in the fall leaves. It was really nice to get some pictures of our entire family! I appreciate their help with them!

That is a classic Jeron face!

Not posed!! We were all trying to get Kyson to look up

and my friend snapped the picture!

I love it!

Boys will be boys! And my

house if full of them!

Our awesome friends Brent and Megan!

After pictures we went to IHOP for dinner.... then back to our house for games!!

It was a really fun weekend!!

Soccer Pictures

Jeron had soccer pictures on Saturday and because we're too cheap to pay $15 for two 5x7's I sent the camera with Kevin. Here are some of the resulting pictures....

Of course, he had to have his keys! His face in this

picture cracks me up!

This is him smiling big!

Kevin told him to not smile so big...

This was Kevin's attempt a posing him...

turn your head this way... now look at me... lol

Kyson felt left out!

5 Years!

All I can say is, WOW! Time flies! Five years ago I was lucky enough to marry the love of my life in the Manti Temple. The last five years have been the best of my life! Some of the craziest! In the last five years we have done so much! We both went to school... Kevin graduated! We have had two kids and bought a house! I know that doesn't sound like much but it really is! Here are a few pictures from my wedding day...

Doesn't he look great!?

Such a beautiful place!

The thing around my neck is a lei that Kevin made for me and gave to me as we were walking out the temple doors. He learned how to make them on his mission.

I am so grateful to have the chance to be married to my best friend for time and all eternity! He is such a sweet husband and father.

I love you Kevin!

My Soccer Player!

We signed Jeron up for soccer this year and so far he has really enjoyed it! He was excited to learn that his jersey is blue (his favorite color)! So far he has only had two practices so we will see how he likes playing in games! His first game is tomorrow... I am really hoping that he actually participates instead of hanging onto my leg!

Showing off his #!

Yes, his jersey drowns him but it was the smallest I could get!

Artwork, Fun with Moving, and Busy weekend!

Fist, I need to wish my husband a happy father's day! I know yesterday was father's day but I didn't have the time to get on and post. Kevin is such a good daddy! I am so blessed to have him be the father of my children. He is someone that they look up to and love so much! He is a great father and an even better husband! I love you Kevin!

I just thought these were really cute! The first is a picture of Kyson's first piece of artwork on a wall/door. Then the next three were done by Jeron. They were actually done about a month ago (before the move) and I just haven't had time to post it. I'm so proud of him for learning how to write!

While unpacking the boys got a hold of one of the boxes I had finished. If you want to entertain your little ones, just give them an empty box or a banana chair and they'll take care of themselves! It is so fun to watch Jeron and Kyson play together all day every day!

yes, Jeron is in the box that Kyson is closing!

Our busy weekend started on Friday when Kevin and Jeron got to go on a second father and sons camping trip. Since we moved and changed wards and our new ward had not yet had father and sons they boys decided to take advantage. Now Jeron thinks that camping is for just him and daddy and doesn't ever want Kyson or I to come along. It sounds like they had a lot of fun and I'm very happy that they could have some one-on-one time!

When they got back on Saturday I was busy cleaning and preparing for...... Jeron's 4th Birthday Party!! We did a Jungle Scavenger Hunt! I thnk the kids really enjoyed it! After the hunt we had pizza, opened presents, and had yummy cupcakes! Here are a couple pictures from the birthday party.....

Kyson eating cupcakes!

The bithday boy opening presents!

The cupcakes... the worms are supposed to be crawling through grass!

Today is Jeron's actual birthday. I can't believe he's four already! Time flies! The last four years have been some of the best of my life! Jeron is so funny and just plain fun to be with. Sure, we have our moments but who doesn't? Right now his favorite things are school, cars, McDonald's, anything blue, and riding his bike. Happy Birthday Jeron!

FINALLY!

It seemed like it would never happen, but we finally got the keys to our house last Tuesday and began moving in! It has been a very busy week with moving in, unpacking, and painting (the master bedroom). It is nice to have so much space! The kids love their new room where they actually have room to play! Our neighbors are really nice. The first day we were moving in our next door neighbors offered to help. Within two days of getting the keys we had already had three neighbors come welcome us to the neighborhood. So far, we are really enjoying our new home!

Zoo Trip

To celebrate Kevin's graduation and for Mother's Day for our moms we took a trip up to Hogle Zoo. My good friend Jessi and her baby Madilyn met up with us at the zoo. It was so much fun and I really enjoyed meeting Madi. Here are a few pics at the zoo.... I may post another blog later with more pics...

Jessi and sweet Madi... She's a great new mom!

My mom, Terrie...

Kevin and Jeron.... cute as ever!

Kevin's mom, Jean....

and finally, me and Kyson! Kyson loved all the different animals!
