What that in my LAUNDRY?

We have this big black thing that likes to burrow down in our laundry right when it comes out of the dryer! We try and call her name but she absolutely ignores us. I don't know about you but I think it would feel great have all those warm clothes on me. Ecspecially with all of this cold weather right now!!

Our House

Shawn and I have been working hard on the yard. We have added some new curbing around the house. Plus our flowers and bushes are blooming beautifully so I have included some pictures. That is one thing that Shawn and I like to do together is gardening and yard work.

Crazy Curlz

Mckaylee had heard from a friend of ours about "Dew Rags" As you can tell from our picture we tried it. If you want some serious tight curls try this. It REALLY works. She had fun trying it though!

Crow Mountain

Of course we all love the famous " Crow Mountain Hike". I know that my kids look forward to it every year. We love getting together with all of our Aunts, Uncle, Grandparents, and cousins. This year again Wyatt and myself did the hike. Of course Mckaylee was to afraid to get dirty. We wouldn't want that. Shawn was the usual "Mountain Shuttle" for all of those who don't hike. Christi decided to do the hike with me this year. Yes, we survived to tell the tale. It was hot, sweaty, and it's over with. Yes there were other members of the family that made it also, Kevin and Jamie. Good job guys. But if you hike it up you have to do the hike down. That's the easy part. After, we all came together and had a picnic at Paul and Julie's. Thanks for letting us all crash at your house.

Happy Anniversary!

Shawn and I have been married now 3 wonderful years! I am so thankful to have such a wonderful husband. Without him I don't know what I would do. He is an amazing father, my best friend, and a great example to all. Thank you honey for 3 wonderful years. I can't wait for many more! I love you!!

Happy Mother's Day

Mother's Day was wonderful. Shawn made a beautiful breakfast before church. After church we headed of to Mac Park in Smithfield for a picnic. Then up Smithfield Canyon to geocache and do some hiking. Thanks honey for a great Mother's Day!!

I Hope You Dance

So the theme for Mckaylee's Recital was "I Hope You Dance" the instructors had taught all of the girls how to do it in sign language. The owner of the studio, Jenny, her husband is dying of cancer. She was told this week that it will be any day now. You would never know if you met you that she was going through any of this. She always has a smile on her face and is happy. While the girls sang and did sign language she and her other instructors danced in the back ground. She was telling us this week that her husband told her to make one promise, that after he passes away that she will never stop dancing. So as you watch this video remember all of the things that you are thankful for and to remember to always dance.
