Scooting Backwards

Katelyn has learned how to scoot herself backwards. She gets stuck sometimes though. This is how I found her the other day. She'd managed to scoot herself right under our bed.

She thought it was really fun until she got all the way under and realized that she was stuck!

Thankfully, I was right there to rescue her. I hope she learns how to go forward soon!

Happy Birthday Jennifer!!!

We love you so much Jenn and hope you have had a wonderful birthday!

Just so you know, you were the cutest little girl that I have ever seen

Your strength is what holds our family together

Marrying you was the best decision I have ever made!

You have so many incredible talents




You are so much fun to be around



You are such a wonderful mother

Happy Birthday!!!!! We love you sooooooo much!

Happy 30th Justin!

Today is Justin's birthday.

Thanks for being such a great dad....

And for helping me around the house....


And for being my best friend!

Happy Birthday!

I love you!

Easter egg hunt

The kids were so excited for their Easter egg hunt!

I'm so glad that it was warm enough to do it outside this year.

Brandon got a little sidetracked because he was so excited to find a dandelion.

Happy Easter!

Hope you are enjoying this beautiful Easter Sunday. Here are a few pictures that we attempted to take after church today. And as you will see, it is very hard to get three kids to sit and smile at the same time, especially after they have been through 3 hours of church!

Katelyn did end up eating a leaf.
She was very determined to get some of that green stuff!

I thought we'd have better luck if we just did pictures one person at a time:

So Happy Easter to all of you from all of us!

Go BYU Cougars!

The kids and Cosmo....they were quite excited to meet him!


Brandon and Lindsey participated in the kids' race at the Corporate Climb event at the Marriott School this weekend. They ran up 3 stories of stairs. Go kids go!

Springtime Fun

The weather this time of year is a bit like a roller coaster. You never know what you're going to get. We have been trying to get outside to enjoy the warm days. Yesterday was fun because we picked Justin up early from school so he could play at the park with the kids for a few minutes.

Our Fun Date

Justin and I had a really fun date last night. We got to go see the concluding night

of the National Dancesport Championship. They had the finals for the Amateur Latin, International Standard, and Cabaret! Cabaret was Justin's favorite and the International (Waltz, Fox Trot, etc.) was my favorite. But they were all really good. The only pictures that turned out decent are the Latin pictures.

It was such a treat for both of us! We took all the social dance classes and competed in the BYU Dance division of the competition when we were undergrads here, so it brought back so many good memories. But the most exciting part was to watch the amateurs compete for the national titles. It is so fun that BYU gets to host this competition every year!

Off to the show!

Here are the final couples warming up for the Latin Dance division.

And then the competition began! We definitely had our favorites.

Justin even correctly predicted which couple was going to win for both the International and the Latin championship. He's got an eye! Thanks for such a fun night Justin!
