wedding and swimming

Jonas and I went to Emily and Tyler's sealing on Saturday morning! It was awesome to be there for it! We also had fun at the luncheon and the reception. They make a cute couple and I'm sure they'll have great times together! Congrats you 2!!!

Friday night we went swimming over at my sister Shannon's house with all the fam!
This was Jaxon's 2nd time swimming... the first time was also this week when I had to take all the kids with me for Maelie's swim lesson, I took Kyla and Jaxon swimming during it, we stayed very shallow but it still made me nervous and I don't think we'll be doing that again!







We feel very blessed to have Maelie! There are little things that happen in life that make you realize how fragile life is! There were tons of adults and kids in the pool that night and Maelie was playing on the stairs, well, I guess she slipped under and came up spitting and coughing. I would have felt awful if something happened to her with that many adults in the pool. From here on out, I am staying right by her side! Please, remember to watch your little ones this summer and always near the water, it only takes a second!!!

You Are Pocahantas!

Free-spirited and wise. You have a strong passionate spirit that touches and changes all who know you. The wisdom and common sense that you have is really what guides you through life. Even so, you also have a very playful side that loves adventure and excitement.

When I have grown a foot or 2

Whelp, we sent Trevon off on his airplane this morning! He will spend today and tonight with Travis up in Utah and he checks into the MTC tomorrow! Last night we were all over at my parent's and he got set apart as a missionary!

Trevon and mom... awwwww....

Trevon and his silly nieces :)

I love orange! And I love this shirt! I saw my friend Candice's little boy wearing it and since he is growing out of it, she let me borrow it, this pic is for Candice. :) And by the way, how's your blog coming along?

At the airport, Jonas and I took turns giving the girls rides on the escalators, ah, the simple joys of life, not the best pic but you get the idea... later when the rest of the fam got there, I took Kailin for a ride with the girls, too.

This is the fam last night waiting for Trevon to be set apart as a missionary, Maelie giving Karsyn hugs

Maelie and Karsyn

Good luck Trev, we love ya!

you're kidding me!!

I just lost all my stuff on the right side! AHHHH!!! Including my blog list, please email me or leave a comment with your blog address! Thanks!

I'm so glad when daddy comes home!

We had a great father's day yesterday! It's good having days so you can sit back and ponder and realize how important certain people are in our lives.

My Dad

Wow! What a pic! There's my dad in his work uniform and he works the same job today. He has always worked so hard to provide for us and more inportantly has always lived the gospel and been an example to us! I love you, Dad.

Jonas' Dad

I am grateful for Jonas' Dad who was such an awesome example to him growing up and helped him to become the amazing husband and father he is today. I love you, Dad.

And Jonas

I know this is oversaid but I definitely couldn't ask for a better dad for my kids and I am so grateful for that! I love you, Jonas.

Happy Father's Day!

Maelie's 1st dance recital!

Maelie had her 1st big dance recital last night and she did awesome! I was so proud of her! In December when she did her little in studio christmas show, she just stoood there, so I wasn't sure what she would do tonight. But she did sooo good, you could tell she was enjoying it! All of the girls in her class did so well and there were no criers in her class, there was one in all the other classes, you know, the little girl who stands there and cries, how sad! But, anyway, I cried when she tippy toed out there with her little umbrella in the air! I didn't expect to cry but I was so proud of my baby up there growing up and looking so beautiful and having so much fun! I did video it but the videos are way too large to post, sorry! I wish I could post them because it really was the cutest thing to watch! My sister Taani was their teacher and she is so talented! Thanks Taani for being Maelie's teacher! And it was even more special because her cousin Kailin was in the show and her friend Bianca! (We missed you Anna!) What a fun night!!!
