Go Bees!

On Friday night Chris, Connor, and I went to the Bees game. (Thanks for watching Lyla Joy!) Chris won tickets by calling into a radio station.  We had such a good time even though the Bees got killed.  Connor had his mitt in hand ready to catch a foul ball.  He didn't catch a real ball, but got a soft one that was thrown into the crowd.  His favorite part of the game was watching the fireworks at the end.  He was in awe! If you're looking for a fun family activity, the Bees game is the way to go! 

The Wedding!

Chris' sister Laura got married on May 8th and we've had such a good time celebrating.  We started at the Salt Lake temple. It was a beautiful ceremony!  We took family pictures at the temple and then went to the Joseph Smith Memorial Building for a luncheon.  Then it was off to pick up the kids and go to the reception in Layton.  It was beautiful!  Laura looked gorgeous!  On Saturday the 17th we headed to Richfield, where Tyler is from, to party some more.  We're so glad Laura found Tyler and that he is a part of the family!  

Laura and Tyler are Married!

Happy Birthday Connor

Connor turned 4 on Monday and we celebrated all weekend. We started with a party at Layton park. We played baseball, played on the toys, ate cake, opened presents, and had a great time. My parents came from Arizona on Saturday night and the party continued. We played a lot of Wii! It is Connor's favorite thing to do. He beat grandma, grandpa, and Uncle Steve at tennis! It was great to celebrate with family and friends! We are so grateful Connor came to our family. He is such a joy to be around!

Must have Mother's Day book!

I found a book that all mother's of little boys need to have.  It is called "Mom Says I Can" by Judy Cooley. It is about a little boy who dresses up in all sorts of fun costumes looking for the world's greatest treasure.  In the end, as he is sitting in mom's arms, wearing his pajamas, he says, That's it, Mom, I found it! The world's greatest treasure!  Do you know where it is?  It was right here all the time-It's you Mom!" Connor and I love to read this book together.  Even though being a mom can be tough, it is all worth it!  Happy Mother's day to all the amazing moms I know, especially mine!  

Summer Time!

Yesterday was such a nice day!  It finally felt like spring.  It was so nice we filled up the pool and the neighbors came and joined us for a little swimming. Connor loved it and Lyla enjoyed it until she slipped and went under. She thinks she is getting so big, she tries do everything Connor does. She was a little scared after that, but was still happy to be outside enjoying the weather. The warm day made me really excited for summer to get here!
