They have my heart!!

Can you say YUMMY! These girls just make me smile. Ryan captured this picture of Sophie sporting my high heels and Abbi with my childhood lunch box. I just love their expressions. I can tell right now these girls are going to be best friends!!!!

Warner's final Preschool Graduation

I should be ashamed of myself! School is about to start and I'm just getting around to preschool graduation! Warner finished his second year of preschool. He has loved every minute he has spent at school with Ms. Jill. We love and appreciate all her hard work and effort she has put into our child's life!

Here's Warner with Ms. Jill. He's hoping he can take her to kindergarten with him. He's going to be a little sad his first day when she's not there. He's learned so much! I couldn't believe my ears when they started singing all sorts of songs. Who knew Warner knew those songs. He's so quiet about all they learn at school. Thank goodness they had a program or we would have never known he could sing!!

Hope for Sarah

The end of April we were honored to be a part of the 5k run and auction for my AMAZING cousin Sarah. You can check out her story here. It was the least we could do for all that she has been through. She is one tough cookie that I love with all my heart!! Here is Ella (Sarah's oldest), Sarah, Myself and Ryan after the run!

Sarah doing what she does best, cheering everyone on! She is every one's number 1 cheerleader. You would never know she was fighting cancer every day of her life. She is amazing!!!

Easter 2011

We made it back from California just in time for the Easter festivities to begin! We started out the cold rainy morning at the park for the annual Easter egg hunt!! This year there weren't as many as normal, so the kids came home with a bundle of candy!

Abbi, Sophie, Syd and Warner after the hunt was over!

We got done with the hunt at home just in time to head up to Spanish Fork for Macs birthday party and another Easter egg hunt! Here's most of the grand kids enjoying their lunch!!

Then we got back home just in time for coloring eggs with the Roberts family! Wow what a busy day we had!!! Good thing the kids were running on a lot of sugar ;)

Look what the kids woke up to!!! The Easter bunny found us once again! Buckets of candy and new Sunday clothes!

Now it's off to church! Hope everyone had a wonderful and busy Easter just like we did!!!

Go Red Sox!!!

You would've thought we hit the jackpot when Ryan found out the Red Sox would be playing in California while we were there! It was worth staying a extra day so we could go to the game! Thanks to the Carr family for watching our kiddos while we had a night out. It was the best date we've had in a LONG time. Here we are at the game. It seemed like they sat all the Red Sox fans in the same section. There were so many of us. We watched several of them get kicked out of the game, only to come back in a different outfit!!! The Red Sox fans were as entertaining as the game!

One of the many shirts Ryan liked sitting in our section!!

Huntington Beach

What's California without taking a trip to the beach!!!!!! It was a chilly windy day, but it didn't stop us! Sophie mostly enjoyed rolling around in the warm sand!

After Abbi got splashed by a wave, she was sure to stay further away from the water. Like I said it was chilly!

But never to cold to get covered in the sand!

Warner is part fish....I don't think the cold water stopped him. He played in the water jumping waves and loved every minute of it!

Why I sat back and ate cookies and chips Ryan was a sport to go help the kiddos make sand castles!

California Adventure

This day we got out without Sophie. As much as we love the girl, it was sure nice to be able to run around a lot quicker without her. We didn't have to take turns riding rides either....we could all go! Thanks to our good friend Shannon for hooking us up with a wonderful babysitter!! We were so excited to go to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Not sure who was more excited the kids or the parents. We watch this show daily, so it was exciting to see the kids watch it in real life!!
Warner and our friend Saylor following what Mickey had to say!

Abbi chasing the bubbles!

Abbi, Saylor, Jaxon, and Warner waiting for the show to start. Can't you just see the excitement in their little faces!

The boys against the girls on the bumper cars! That's right the girls won!

Ryan was willing to sit out on the kiddie rides. I wonder why!

More of day 1 at Disneyland

Everything at Disneyland is magical. Isn't it just magical that everything is larger than life! Warner constantly wanted to stop and do a pose for me to take a picture of him! We only lost Abbi for a minute at this play ground. That girl calls herself super fast, and boy she isn't joking!! You had to keep eye on her at ALL times!

What will $5.00 give you at Disneyland? Not much but a sugar smile! Warner was so excited to get his bag of cotton candy! I was glad that's all he wanted ;-)

The girls spent a lot of time in the stroller! Sophie was making good use of her time!

Like I said it's magical!

It's a small world is still one of my all time favorites. I know it drives a lot of people crazy, but I love how animated it is. The look on the little ones faces is priceless!

Warner's favorite ride! Buzz light year! Knock um' dead buddy!

Every little girls dream!

The first thing we did when we walked into the doors of Disneyland is catch the train. It happened to drop us off at the meet the princess'. It was a long wait to meet these pretty ladies, but oh so worth it! Abbi was STAR struck! She couldn't even smile!!! I would have to say we got our money's worth just after watching Abbi with the princess'. I LOVED it!

So Cal Ragnar!

More April Catch up!!!

Before we STARTED our vacation in California Ryan, and I were invited by some friends to run the Ragnar in So Cal. Of course Ryan couldn't turn down a offer like that!!! I mean who doesn't want to run 200 miles in the dead heat!!!! Once again it was a total blast!!
We were grouped with these characters. Some we had breifly met, others we met on the way! By the end of the two days we were great friend!! I mean you really have to like someone to put up with their stink when your stuck in a van that long!

Here's the entire group at the finish line. I have to say finishing on the beach was pretty cool! I had thought my runs were going to be along the beach, but I was mistaken :( I ran in the getto! Ryan probably had the prettiest runs! He deserved them after pulling 26 miles out of the deal!!


Wahoo!! We did it! This is our 4th Ragnar in a years time! We have loved every minute of it, but don't plan on doing this many in the next year! Mostly I love doing them, because that means I get some time with my man! Love that we can do this together!!
