Ogden Marathon

"Where's Daddy?"

Way to go Babe!!!

Clint ran the Ogden Marathon. He didn't fail to surprise me how amazing he is. He ran it like a Champ!! Being at the finish line and waiting for him to cross, I always get a little teary eyed. It's such a HUGE accomplishment and I am so proud of him. He has trained so hard and it shows!

Blakley was so excited to see him at the finish line. She jumped into his arms and gave him the biggest hug ever! She was glued to his side the rest of the day! What a little daddy's girl!

Love these two!

Sports, Sports and more Sports

We have been so busy lately going all different directions, trying to make it to all of the boys games.

Three games each Saturday = Fun, but Crazy day!

Tanner and Troy chose to play flag football, while Carter wanted to stick with soccer. Tanner did awesome this season. He loves to play every sport, but it is like this year football clicked for him. He seemed to know just where to be on the field at just the right time. He loves football and keeps begging me to let him play tackle football, but I am terrified to let him play. I think he is just way to small still. I guess if he wants to stick with football than eventually he will play tackle:( Till then Flag has been fun!

Way to go Nanny!

This was Troy's first year playing football. He did great! At the beginning of the season, Clint told him he would pay him $1 for every flag he pulled and every touchdown he got. He ended up with $14. Way to go Troyster!

Carter loves to play soccer. This season, Clint got to be his coach and he couldn't have been more excited to have his dad helping out. Being on his friend, Coren's team and having his dad as the coach, Carter was one happy little boy:) Way to go Buddy Boy!

Blakley is TWO!!!

My sweet, spunky little Blakley Doo is Two!

You've survived your first two years successfully. I think it is time to celebrate. What better way than to invite the family over for a big celebration! With you being the center of attention, of course:)

Blakley with her Uncle Cody

Uncle Shane with the kiddos

Great Grandpa Ted came out to join in on the fun. What a sweet man! We love him dearly!

My girls

I love this picture!

Codes and Kenli

Em and Wends with baby Ally

Seriously! Do they come cuter than this?

What a precious little girl.

Blakley LOVES babies! She gets so excited when baby Kenli or Baby Ally come over. She wants to hold them all the time and gives them the best hugs and kisses! She brought out her baby stroller and really wanted to take Kenli on a walk. Wends strapped her in and off they went around the kitchen. Blakley "Cheesed" like this the whole time:) She was in heaven!

My sweet mom, brother and sister-in-law

Blakley loves the movie Tangled. We watched it nearly everyday before nap time. We thought it would be fun to do a Rapunzel cake. This picture does not do this cake justice. It was a masterpiece! Thanks to my friends, Brandi and Emily!

We didn't make it, but we paid for it. We should get some credit right?!?!? LOL!

She loved the cake! She was so excited to get to blow the candles out. Too bad I didn't get any pictures:(

Finally, she got to open up her presents.

She loved this part. I think she really likes being in the spotlight.

Thanks to everyone there, my baby was spoiled!

Happy Birthday sweet baby girl! We are so happy that you are part of our family. We thoroughly love having a little girl after three boys. You're so loved by your mommy and daddy and your brothers all ADORE you. You are such a loving girl. We all love your hugs and kisses that you are so willing to give us. You are going to do so many wonderful things in your life. We have BIG DREAMS for you. We love you with all of our hearts!

XOXOXO

Mom and Dad

Congrats to Emily and Shane on the arrival of the newest member of their family, Ally. She is ADORABLE! Such a perfect little girl! We are in love with this little one!

Clint and I were lucky enough to be there when the photographer came to take some pictures. We stole some of our own:) Very Cute!

Love you baby Ally!

Carter's the big 6 now!

My baby boy turned six years old! Oh boy, was he excited! He woke up and was surprised that the balloon fairy had switched it up a little and not only left him balloons, but also decorated his room with streamers. Silly Balloon Fairy!

After going to his all time favorite Panda Express for lunch, he was off for a fun day at school! He got to be the special helper all day long. Then of course, there is the birthday hat he got to wear! He was grinning from ear to ear when he walked in the door from school.

Later on that evening, Clint brought home pizzas for dinner and the whole fam came over to help celebrate.

Watch Out, she's got a pizza cutter in her hand!

All three of these guys came straight from work. Can you tell who does construction and who works in an office setting? lol Love these guys!

My cute little Carter is obsessed with Jacob from Twilight. Most of the time he is pretending to be him, the rest of the time he is a werewolf. In our home, you will more likely than not hear replies like "I don't get cold because I'm hot like Jacob" or "I'm OK! I'm tough like Jacob" coming from his mouth:) He also loves Justin Bieber. I think he got this one from my nieces. He loves his music! So what better way to celebrate his birthday than so have cupcakes with pictures of his two favorite people on them. Thanks to Wendy! She made his day!

He wanted one of each picture in his cupcake!

Oh Carter, we LOVE you so much! We love you being part of our family. You bring so much joy into our home. There is never a dull day with you around and we will always cherish the memories we have made (and continuing to make) with you! Thanks for being such a FUN, LOVING, SWEET, TENDER, AMAZING kid! We love you to pieces!

6 year old stats:
