Wonderful Family Park Day- Briggy's First Time in a Park Swing

One beautiful day in March, we had a wonderful family day. We took the kids to the park and had a grand time as a family.

Brigham experienced his first official park swing yesterday. He seemed to enjoy himself. He would give me big smiles the whole time as he would swing back and forth.

 It was a day full of sweet family memories.

Emmy Loves Volleyball

Emmy girl absolutely rocked her volleyball season this year.

She has an amazing overhand serve that she has worked so hard to perfect. She is aggressive and has shown some great hustle as she slides across the gym floor on her knee pads for awesome digs.

We love this talented and smart girl!

Family LOVE

 These pictures make my heart so happy. They show how much our family loves each other. Yes, quite often my kids fight, but quite often they are best friends, too.  Also, we are so blessed to have Brandon as their dad! He knows how to make our home happy!

 I don't think that there has ever been a baby loved more than Brigham.  Lucy has loved him so much even from the beginning. When she would come home from preschool, she loved taking a few moments to just play with him. It was so cute to see her interact and love him.  Brigham lights up when he sees her.  I hope they are always best friends!

Poetry Night

 Back in March, when Ben and Emmy were in fourth grade, they spent a lot of time learning about and how to write poetry. They worked so hard on their poems and created a fancy book with all the poems that they and their classmates created and worked so hard on. 

 Sadly, due to miscommunication and misunderstanding, the kids missed the opportunity to share their poems at a local coffee poetry shop. However, we had our own poetry night at home! We even had fancy drinks and treats.

The kids were able to use our microphone and share their poems. Even Hyrum, Lucy, Brandon and I got in on the fun.

It was a great night spent as a family. 

Dr. Seuss Night

Back in March, Lucy's preschool had a Dr. Seuss night.

 We were able to go as a family and have pancakes, green eggs and ham and other fun foods for dinner. Lucy was so excited to go to her school party and take her family there. She still talks about how much she enjoyed her party and what she did there.   Lucy was able to color some fun pages and pick out a new book to take home to read.

Of course, one of the best things of the night was having a grand time with some of our favorite friends!

 It was a fun night!

Brigham's Six Month Pictures

I had a local friend take these six month pictures of my sweet baby.

 I was very pleased with the results.  I thought the pictures captures Brigham's sweet personality.

I love smooching his cheeks all day.


After pictures, we were able to have lunch with Brandon at McDonald's.  Brigham was given his first taste of ice cream to enjoy.  He loved it! Lucy enjoyed coming on the lunch date too.

Science Fair 2017

We are proud of this handsome son of ours. He worked hard on his science fair project.  

 The title of his project was Battle of the Senses.  He wanted to see if people remembered things better by hearing or reading/seeing. He put in a lot of time to his project and had a wonderful teacher to help him. 

 He was awarded 1st place in his category, Behavioral Science, for the middle school category, out of the valley where we live. He was also awarded an honorable mention for the paper he wrote about his project.
