May/June

May was a busy month, but a fun month! My little sister got married, school activities, a trip to Utah, and Mother's Day! The pictures with my kids are what really amaze me. They are really growing up so fast! My oldest is already so much taller than me!

Looking back, I think June was such a fun month too! We spent the first little bit of the month visiting with family in Utah. We play lots of games, the kids love hanging out with cousins, and we eat yummy food.. Like pancake apple pie, right Amy?
I also was able to go on my first hot air balloon ride with my mother in law. We had gotten her tickets over a year earlier, and with many failed attempts to go, we finally did it! It was amazing and so much fun! The perfect person to go with too!

 We celebrated Father's Day, did a car wash fundraiser, and had lots of play dates with friends!

 Another highlight of June was being able to go to girls camp with Courtney! This was her first year and I was so lucky to be one of her leaders along with my best friend, Liz! What a great time we had all together! Other than it being super cold at night, it was the best camp ever! Hope I get to go with her again sometime!

April

April was full of  great activities like field days for the kids, field trips, family fun time, and of course Easter!

 I am still laughing at some of the Easter photos below. My sister was hiding a couple eggs by her elbows in her sweater and it was funny how no one noticed...(Looks so natural!) And the photo of Brian and I makes me smile because we were both supposed to be making goofy faces, but this is the only photo we took where he smiled so cute! I wish I would have been smiling with him! (It kind of sums up our personalities though!)

March

March was a busy month with lots of school and church activities!

We had the Pinewood Derby, a field trip to the Capital, a hand chimes concert, a choir concert, a school market day, and many projects to make. Love seeing each and every thing that my kids are involved in!

February

February was a fun month! Evan turned 8 and got baptized! We are so proud of him! Isn't he just the cutest 8 year old? I love him to the moon and back! We also had park days, the kids helped with the cooking, and Courtney fell in love with a little puppy at the pet store. (No, we didn't buy him....)

January

I have felt so terribly bad for not keeping up with my family blog, so I am going to try to recap just a little first and then hopefully not fall so far behind again.

Starting where I left on from my last post in early January this year, we had a great rest of the month! Courtney celebrated her birthday at school, we played in the snow, Dillon became quite good at shooting his bow and arrow, Evan's did terrific at his showcase, and Brian had his birthday!

 Love the picture of Jacob eating a huge slice of homemade pizza! And Courtney and I made some little owls together that turned out super cute!
