HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY!

You're Invited...

but only if you will be near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico on that day!

Look at my girl go!

Avri has found that if she gets up on her toes and flops (seriously flops) down to the ground she moves just a little closer to the object she is wanting. Smart girl. She will be moving before too long and I know I am not ready for that!

Golfing with Dad

Braxton Taylor A couple weeks ago Justin wanted to go golfing so the only way I let him go was convincing him to take his boys. He took them each on their own day so we got to golf twice in two days. Not sure who got the better end of the deal :-) They loved every minute of golfing with their daddy!

Big Girls

My girls are growing up.

They are sitting up and wearing big girls PJ's. They still tip over but they are getting used to this sitting thing. They roll and scoot (backwards) all over the place! They get stuck under beds, bouncy chairs, coffee tables and in closets.

Lately Macall yells at everything. She yells extra loud when she is trying to get Justin's attention. When she gets him to look at her she grins the biggest grin! She is a total daddy's girl! She loves Taylor. He is the only one she laughs for and she laughs so hard at him! She loves her brother! Her hair is almost long enough to get a little pony tail right at them top! Can't wait to play with her hair!Aves is a mover. She is never content in one place. She scoots all around the room and keeps trying to pull herself up onto her knees. She is always happy and has smiles for everyone. She is the biggest droller and is always soaked. Her big blue eyes and pretty smile melt my heart. She is a sweet baby and loves to cuddle.

Love them!

We went out to Stansbury to visit Grandpa and Clarine and the boys were spoiled with some money for their birthday. Today I asked Braxton what he wanted to buy with his money at Target and he said" I want to buy you ice cream Mom" So sweet!

Supercross 2010

The reason we went to Las Vegas was for the Motocross Championships. My brothers have always been into racing and it has trickled down the line to all the little boys. My mom and dad got us tickets and my boys were so excited!! They kept telling me we were going to "Las Begas" and everything we bought (sunscreen, swim suites, etc.) were for "Las Begas". When we finally got to the races they were in awe over the track. Taylor's mouth seriously dropped when Chad Reed came out. Too cute! They had a great time and I would totally take them again. Maybe next year we should go to California :-) Vegas was fun but not really kid friendly. We had a blast though!!! Thanks fam!

Vegas

We got to Las Vegas Friday morning, checked in, and headed straight to the pool. We couldn't let any of the sun shine miss our whiteness. (ok, I couldn't!) The boys had fun in the shallow pool and then Brax loved swimming by himself in the big pool. Taylor hated it! He sat at the edge of the pool and watched everyone else swim. He got brave a few times and sat on the top stair but just to splash Uncle Chad and Uncle Justin.BraxTaylorTaylor, Brax, and KylerBrax hanging outTaylor finally fell asleep and slept for a few hours on the couch.Mom and Dad rented a Cabana for the day and it was fabulous. Thanks again!As we were getting ready to go to dinner the boys found the airport out the window. Every time a plane would take of they would yell "BLASTOFF!!!"Justin and the boys in front of ESPN Zone.Eating Mexican at New York New York. YUM!The kids were all trapped. So many people stopped and commented. They loved the attention!

After dinner we split up and went to the Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay. The boys were in heaven seeing all those fish and especially the sharks! At first Taylor thought they would eat him but he soon figured out they were all in the tanks and he was safe!Justin and the boysThose fish were bigger then the boysTurtleMom and her favorite boys!

So happy

After 4 months of living in the house, 4 weeks of waiting, lots of money, and 7 hours of installing our blinds are finally done! Who knew I would be excited. SO EXCITED! They look great and the people (a man and his cute wife) that did it were actually really great. The only hiccups in the project were from the factory but once that was settled they came in and did a great job. If anyone needs blinds I would totally recommend them!

We are buying the boys big beds and so we put up their toddler beds for sale on KSL. Tonight one was sold and after they left Braxton exclaimed "Now we only have ONE bed?!" His face and voice were so funny! So concerned!

Since it has been snowing...

We decided we just couldn't stay inside any longer. We bundled up and headed out to the cold April snow. They boys had a great time.My poor flowers!

When we were done outside we headed for the kitchen for some hot chocolate which sadly we didn't have. The boys settled for olives. They put them on their fingers and were now monsters chasing mommy around the kitchen.
