2013-2014 School Year Begins

Yes I am blogging to keep a journal for my family.

Yes I am MONTHS and MONTHS behind.

Yes I am trying to catch up.

Yes I stink at it.

Yes I will keep trying:)

Here my some pictures of the first day of school.

Tanner

My big 7th grade man

Troy

My 4th grade stud

Carter

My 3rd grade allstar

My handsome devils!

Don't mind the funny smiles on Troy and Carter.  They were both missing one of their front teeth and didn't want to show it.  Funny thing is they each were missing the opposite tooth from each other.  Troy was missing his right front tooth.  Carter was missing his left front tooth. haha!

I love these boys more than anything.  My kids mean the world to me.  My heart is filled with love whenever I look at pictures of them. xoxo

Looking back on June

Yay!  I'm finally blogging about what happened in our lives during the month of June.  I didn't think I would ever get to here.  I'm still so far behind.  If only there were 48 hours in a day:)

 Looking through our pictures made me realize just how crazy busy June really was for us.  But oh we make lots of good memories.  The first part of the month was filled with year end school activities.  We were so excited that school was getting over and our summer was about to start.  First off, my beautiful niece Jessica graduated from Murray High School.  Go Spartans!  I can't believe that she is old enough to be finished with high school.  She should still be five years old. 

She reminds me so much of her mom.  Such a gorgeous girl.

Carter and Troy both made the principals list the fourth quarter.  They were both recognized in the last assembly of the year.  Way to go guys!

Last day of school for my boys.  Tanner says goodbye to 6th grade and elementary school.  Troy says goodbye to 3rd grade and Carter says goodbye to 2nd grade.  They all did so good in school last year.  I couldn't have asked for better teachers for them!

 It was free dress day! Carter's class made these tie-dyed shirts to wear.  They all got to sign each other's shirts with markers.  Much funner than signing a yearbook.

Clint ran the Utah Valley Marathon!  Really?!?  I am so proud of this man!  I can't imagine running 26.2 miles.... My Hero!

My cutest cousin Nate got married to Mykaleen!

Congrats guys!

Our baseball season came to an end.  Carter and Troy both decided to play this year and we couldn't have been more happy!  I LOVE BASEBALL!  It was so fun to watch their improvement during the year.  Troy played on the Angels.  His team took second place. Way to go Troyster!

Check out the size of that trophy!

Carter played for the Diamondbacks.  His team didn't place in the top 3 this year.  BUT he did make the Pee-wee Allstar team.  Hip Hip Hooray!!!  Which meant my baseball game watching wasn't quite over yet:)  

We celebrated Father's Day with our world's best dads!  I love that we have a day to spoil the good dads in our lives.  They deserve it.

I couldn't have hand picked a greater dad for my kids!!

We love him so much!

Great Grandpa Ted

I love my dad and brothers!  And of course my grandpa.

Welcome the newest member of our family!

JERSEY

Cutest Shorkie in town

 My darling niece Lela got married to the man of her dreams, Moses!

Made for each other:) 

Lela had four handsome boys waiting for her to come out of the temple.  My three boys and her little brother, Clint.  Everyone loves her so much!

Tanner got to go do baptisms for the dead for the first time.  I had the privilege of going with him.  With four temples really close to us, I let him choose which temple her wanted to go to.  He chose the Draper Temple.  I was thrilled because I had never been to that one.  It is such a pretty temple.  I am so thankful that I got to share this special time with him.  Love my Tan the man! 

June 2013 was a GREAT month for my family!  I am so blessed with a family that I adore more than anything.  I am thankful for all of the good times that we shared together.  I am one lucky wife and grateful mom. xoxo

May's Wrap-up

After looking through all of my pictures, it looks like we did lots of fun things during the month of May!

Let's see if we can wrap everything we did up in one post....

Clint and I celebrated our 14th year anniversary!  I LOVE this man so much!!    I can honestly say I love him more today than the day we were married.  He really is my everything.  I couldn't be more happy that I am sealed to him for time and all eternity.

We had a fun family BBQ to celebrate Mother's Day!  I love that we have a holiday dedicated to the moms in our lives.  I have the greatest mom and I love her with all my heart.  I also have the world's greatest mother-in-law.  These two ladies are so special to me.  I love them both so dearly. 

Clint ran the Ogden Marathon.  I think this marathon is something like number 13 or 14.  Seriously!!!  I can't even imagine running a single marathon, not alone several marathons year.  He is my HERO!

I love this family of mine!

My niece Jessica had her seminary graduation.

Blakley's preschool class took a field trip to the Gateway Children's Museum.  Bentley, Kenli, Benson and Ally got to go with us.  She is so lucky that her cousins go to school with her!  Bentley is in her class and Benson is in the older class.

Blakley and Kenli

Best Friends!

Benson and Blakley playing in the sand!

My big girl on a HUGE horse!

Cody and Benson

She loved playing cashier!

Ally

On Memorial Day, we went around to family graves and left flowers.  We went to two cemeteries and eight graves.  We shared lots of memories of our loved ones.  We have been blessed with so many great family members.  Heaven is going to a great reunion when we are reunited again.   

Tanner was awarded "Outstanding Student" at his year end assembly at school.  6th grade has been such a great year for him.  He adores his two teachers and has so many new friends.  I couldn't have asked for a better school year for him. 

My baby girl had her 3 year old preschool graduation!  She is done with her first year of preschool.  She passed with flying colors:)  They had a little ceremony at the library to show off what they have learned.  Smarty pants!  I must say though she looked so cute in her cap! 

She love, love, loves Ms. Hilary

Love you baby girl!

I am sure that we did lots that I am missing.  But I'm pretty sure I hit all of the major events!  Looks like May was a good month for us.  On to June!
