Allie three years old!

Ginger bread houses

Allie wanted to make her own ginger bread house, since the boys didn't want her eating off of theirs! She was so excited to make her own!

Blake's 1st grade class making gingerbread houses. Blake gets to sit by all his friends and cousin at school. At this table is Kasen (Cousin), Dallin Dance ( A long time friend) and Logan (a friend from the ward) and Blake!!

Kasen and Blake

He loaded that thing up!

This year I have been able to help every Tuesday morning in Blake's class and every Thursday morning in Brycen's class.

Here is Brycen and the whole third grade making ginger bread houses.

This is a gingerbread house Blake make with his primary class.

Christmas Recital

Here are the boys performing at their Christmas Recital.

Brycen singing, Little Drummer Boy, and We Wish you a Merry Christmas! He has such a natural talent for singing.... I don't know where it came from, but I love to hear him sing!

Blake and I playing, Jingle Bells and Silent night.

Brycen playing, the Chipmunk song.

No pics of me...but I also played a duet, Sleigh Ride, with Kathie (our piano teacher).

New House

We started off the summer with a big MOVE! We decided to rent out our other house to Jared's sister Emillie and her family and we have loved living so close to them, our kids have loved being close to each other too! We are finally feeling settled in, so here are some pics of our new house!

Fun at the beach

We got to spend a few days at a beach house with Jared's family this summer, we had fun playing in the sand, flying kites, and looking for rocks and shells.

Clark County Fair

We went to the Clark County Fair this summer with Jared's sister Emillie and her husband Riley and their little boy Kasen. The boys wanted to try Mutton busting, which is riding a sheep as long as you can. Brycen held on the longest... I got 6 pictures of him. Blake got thrown off as soon as they let the sheep go so I only got a picture of him on the ground. Kasen, their cousin did it too! He rode pretty far. It was so cute watching them. After they rode we bought them ice cream.

Turning 31

July 9th I turned 31, it was a good birthday.

Emillie (my sister in law) and my mother in law, took me to olive garden.

and a bunch of friends from my ward took me to Red Robin to celebrate! I feel so lucky to have so many good friends and family. Thanks to all of you for such a great birthday.

And thanks to my awesome husband for this birthday present (and my birthday present for the next 100 years!! )

I researched and researched pianos...finally found the perfect one, choosing a Yamaha!

The boys are taking piano lessons and doing awesome! I decided to continue taking lessons as well!
