My Post about TYCE

Up next is Tyceman! He has been busy since I last blogged. So here are some pictures of his adventures.


Starting with basketball...Tyce had a blast playing this year and developed some new skills. He loved playing with his two best buddies Bryson and J.T. and having dad as the assistant coach again.

Lining up. Tyce is #4!

Tyce taking the shot!

What cute boy!!

Tyce also had his first pinewood derby in scouts! It was so funny to watch him and J.D. plan and work on the car. I am bad, and didn't get any pictures of the construction phase. It did go to weigh in with some wet paint, but it was still fast! He took 3rd!!! He was so excited!! and so was J.D.

That is "Big T" on the outside with the lightening bolt!!

Our first derby race was so fun!!

Tyce's next passion...Football. Tyce wanted to play football so bad so we let him do flag football. (I couldn't let my little boy play tackle...he might get squashed! and he didn't even meet the weight requirement.) Bryson and Tyce were on the same team. They were awesome! Both super fast and played hard! So fun to watch!!

Last but not least he had a birthday! It was a busy day and I didn't get too many pictures! I am lame! The girls hid his presents and he loved looking for them. We went to dinner with Terry's family In and Out...Tyce's favorite. Then we went to an outdoor movie. It was a lot of fun. I didn't make him a cake since we were off and running all day. He just informed me yesterday that that wasn't too cool. So maybe I should make him a cake this weekend.

Birthday morning with the girls.

Found new Heely's!

My Post about JAGEN

Here is some recent pictures of Jagen and her happenings.


A couple pictures from her birthday!




And the party. Her dad is so cool. He got tickets for her and some friends to see David Archuleta in concert. So the girls came over and made shirts to wear to the concert. It was so cute to listen to them be all giddy with excitement. They got the front row and could actually see him. It was so funny when they came home because the quote of the night was "He looked right into my eyes!" in a dreamy tone of course. Little do they know he looked into every girl's eyes.

In Search of my Blogging MOJO...

It has been lost for quite sometime, but I have been searching for the MOJO and have found it. I started playing with my blog yesterday and it all came back to me. The fun of blogging and of looking at others blogs, deciding what to post and what pictures to include. I FOUND IT!!! So after some long months I am attempting to play a little catch up. We have a few busy months as everyone does this time of year. So I want to include a lot of stuff so here it goes...but let this serve as a warning LONG POST WITH LOTS OF PICTURES!!

We went through a round of visitors in the spring because everyone wants to enjoy our great weather that time of year. The door is always open...we love visitors!!


First Jeff and Kandiss and the girls came to visit in March. It was so fun to spend time with them and we can't wait for the new arrival next week!!!

Silly girls

Cute Kids!!

While playing with the kids at the park J.D. smacked, and I do mean SMACKED face first into a canopy on the play structure and broke his nose and got a little whiplash. Layed all 6'3" of him flat on his back. Jeff and I laughed but J.D. not so much.

Next Shane and Katie came for a visit. It was so good to have some one on one time with their family! The kids had so much fun together. I was a big slack and didn't get too good a pictures, but Shane sent me a few.

Jagen shared her love for climbing trees with the girls.

We went to an Archeology Museum one day (of course) and this is Shane with Reese and Landon.


These two were so cute together!




Cute kids with the wildflowers!

Then our good friends the Flandros from California came for a visit over Easter weekend. We had so much fun! We went rollerskating and to the Easter Pageant at the Temple. We miss all our friends in CA!!!

This is my Mother's Day Picture! I love these kids!!!

We went home to New Mexico for a quick visit over Memorial Day. It was a nice visit with my parents and Guy and Rod's families. We had such a great time. While we were there I was able to attend my nephew Brandyn's graduation. It was kinda weird. I was getting ready to start my junior year at that very high school the summer he was born. Made me feel really old, but so excited for where life goes next for him.

Fun with cousins at the graduation party.
A little Latin dancing with Aunt Angie.
Opening the graduation gifts! $$$$$

Then we came back home and my niece Casey had graduation! So we did it all over again. It was fun to think back to that time of life and how excited and scared I felt.

After all this J.D. and I were invited to Lake Powell with some friends. It was good times. I forgot how much fun it is to be out on the lake. We left the kids with my sister and just had 5 days of fun and sun. I did realize that I am WAY out of shape. I don't have those pictures yet, so I hope to post them soon. I have to mention that J.D. and I got up wake surfing together on the board. I have to post that picture because I thought it was way too cool.

Just a couple of weekends ago we went camping with my sister's family. It was soooo much fun. I hadn't been camping in a couple of years and I had a blast! The kids loved it and the dogs really loved it.

Lastly I better include updated pictures of the puppies. They are fitting in well and I even kinda like them. They are pretty fun. Higely just got a haircut so you must see the before and after shots.
