Navy Blue Angels Air Show

This past weekend the Blue Angels came to town! The show was awesome and I would highly suggest going to see them if they are anywhere near you!

Brayden checking out the cockpit of one of the planes that started the air show off!

Josh and Brayden watching the planes head to or from the run way!

While the show was going on this is what the kids did!

Anyone care to fly upside down?

The wing walker! I would never in a million years ever consider doing this!

Brayden Turns Six

So for Brayden's birthday this year we had a small get together at a nearby park. We invited a few friends and family to join us! I am still finding it hard to believe that my little boy is now six! I love getting creative and trying new things for his birthday cakes. I found a few cute ideas and let him choose which one he would like this year... he must have had baseball on the brain because that is the one he chose! I think it turned out so cute!

Opening gifts was fun! He got some fun new toys and books! In this picture we have Kaytlin and our niece Sydney watching him. At least they were sitting on the cooler with the water balloons in it instead of throwing them.

His biggest gift that was wrapped in a large box from Carl and Ashley below. Everyone was curious as to what it was! They got him some sand box toys! In this picture from left to right we have grandpa Terry, cousin Andruw, school friends Spencer and Carter, Uncle Jared, cousin Cadance, Grandma Sara, Brayden, and Aunt Jennifer.

While Brayden played with his new toys Kaytlin played with her little tricycle that she is still trying to learn to peddle!

Happy Birthday Brayden! Here is wishing for a very good year!

While Josh and Carl were out on the bike route the kids and I played at the park!

While driving through town Josh saw this billboard and I had to laugh! It sure fits in with the MS bike ride taking place in Logan this weekend!

Also after the guys were done riding on day one we all went up to the Logan Temple. It always amazes me at the beauty and peace found on the grounds!

It was a fun and rewarding weekend for all involved!

Carl & Ashley

My little brother Carl and his fiancee Ashley are getting married in August! I am so excited for them to begin this part of their lives! They asked me to take their engagement pictures and of course I was thrilled to do so. Many have asked to see the pictures I took so here are just a few. Here is a sneak peek of my favorite shots!

I had so much fun taking these pictures! I am also excited at how well they turned out! Congratulations Carl & Ashley!

Growing Up

It is hard for me to think our children are growing up! Brayden turns six next month and it doesn't feel nearly six years ago he joined our family!

Brayden lost his very first tooth on Saturday! He was drinking chocolate milk and then it just came out! He was a bit upset because he didn't like the hole in his mouth but he has since gotten used to it. The excitement the next morning after the tooth fairy came was awesome and he carried his money with him all day. Any day now the second of his teeth will fall out. The one next to the one he already lost is very loose so he will have a large gap on the bottom row of teeth once it comes out!

We are so blessed to have him in our family. He is a tremendous help and he shows his love for us in the small everyday things he says and does! We love you Brayden!
