Grandma and Grandpa Donald Visit!!

My grandparents adore our kids!! We don't get to see them that often. Growing up we always had fun doing stuff with Grandma and Grandpa McDonald. We get packages in the mail, we get 2 dollar bills on most holidays, homemade ornaments at Christmas time and beautiful quilts made by grandma for everytime a baby comes into our family!

So when we got to see them a couple weeks ago we got to go to a bounce house place and of course MCDONALDS!!
My cousin Josh and his cute wife Shelbie live down in Provo so they came up to lehi and hung out with us!! Shelbie and Josh LOVE the kids too!! They got in the bounce houses and jumped around like kids themselves!

Pomp and Circumstance for little Miss May!

I choked up a few tears as we watched on Sat night Mayley's preschool graduation. Where has the last 5 years gone!??! It's gone by way too fast. Who knew that this is where I would be now in my life?!?! I LOVE every MOMENT of it too! even the Bad and Hard times. It makes me stronger and Mayley is an amazing little spirit and girlie!! They sang fun songs at the graduation.

May had a solo part and sang "There was a tiny turtle, his name was tiny tim, we put him in the bathtub to see if he could swim. He drank up all the water. He ate up all the soap. And when he went to bed. there was a bubble in his throat....HICCUP!!

Her moment of walking down the red carpet with her cap and gown!! HOLY DANG CUTE GIRL!!!

She got a dipolma, a trophey and a plaque with her pic and handprint on it too!

We were so proud of her!!! Thanks for Grandma Lynda and Grandpa Call for coming too to support Mayley! She was so happy to see you there :)

May and Miss Pateresa!! How we love this lady! She is amazing!

Splish Splash they were takin a bath!

I love my bubs' face in this pic! May and Bubs taught Hogie how to splash in the tub. its one of his favorite things to do! He makes my day to see his cute little bum and see him happy splashing in the tub!

A sweet lady in our ward made this hoodie towel for hogan when he was born!

Mothers Day and BDay!

I love my hubby lots!! He bought me these beautiful flowers for my bday!! :) I think I should be a florist now. They smell SOOOO dang good!

May helped bry make me a fun mothers day breakfast!!

Loving my kids on mothers day!! :)

We went to my parents house for mothers day. My cousins wife and a friend came. EVeryone loves to snuggle with Hogi. This cute girl got him to go to sleep!!

Birthday night out with my parents! We went to Texas Roadhouse!! YUM! They have a waiting area where you can eat peanuts and sit on a cowboy saddle!

I love how the bubs makes me laugh!!

Hanging out at dinner time!! The kids love their dad WAY too much! They weren't like this the whole dinner lets just say that!

Thanks mom and dad for taking me out for my bday! It was a super fun day! I love my fam! :)

My sweet friends all met a Carls Jr. earlier that day for lunch and took me out. It was fun to see one of my friends that used to live in our tooele ward and moved back out to Stansbury! The kids had a blast with their friends in the playplace. The best (not really but its funny) was when I held hogan up and pee was dripping out of his diaper onto the floor. I was mortified. I guess thats what happens when you have boys. I went to go change him and his diaper was seriously dry! soooooo weird. My sweet friend helped me clean it up! Thanks Marissa. She reassured me that her baby boy has had the same problem! To top off the night when we got home from Salt Lake. Hunter had a MAJOR accident outside (thank goodness it was good weather) lets just say he had it all over him and we literally had to HOSE him down! we were laughing our heads off! It was such a fun bday! My wooba got me the Pres. Monson biography. I got moola and a cute skirt from the calls, and my kids got me, YES, a WHOOPIE Cushion. Blame that one on the hubby but i'm glad my fam makes me laugh and that everyone is so awesome! :)

Settlement Canyon Time!!!

The kids hanging out and eating food!!

Roastin some Mallows! The kids love it! It's their favorite thing to do during the night! besides slide down their bums down big dirt hills!!

Hunter being dirty and eating food. He got a bunch of the girls to take off their shoes in the sandpit the little stinker! he's always doing something crazy!

The kids like to tell "Ghost" stories!! gotta love may with her flashlight up to her face!! Shes good at telling them too! We all just laugh at them :)

Hanging out around the fire!

Piano Recital

My friend, Hollie, and I played this fun duet at our last Piano recital!! It was seriuosly super fun to play! enjoy!

Anniversary date!

I stink at blogging but these pretty tulips in this pic probably smell way better than my blogging! haha! We got to go to the gateway a couple weeks ago and eat at a yummy steakhouse restaurant called "FLEMMINGS" The food was seriousy amazing. I devoured everything. The flavors were amazing. We ate a ton of bread before they brought out our meal. They had yummy spreads to go on the bread like....roasted red pepper and a bleu cheese spread. I got a filet mignon and bry got a bbq salmon thing. I even tried a little bit of the salmon. I still don't like fish! My gut never will like it!

We got yummy mac n cheese and these amazing cheesy potatoes to share too. I loved everything about the food that night and spending time with my awesome husband. This isn't the best pic of us but we dressed up for the occassion!

We went shopping at Old Navy and Target that night too!! wooooooooo! Exciting stuff!! :)

Wedding of the Year!

Waiting for the happy couple to come out of the Salt Lake Temple...May was in Heaven holding the flowers. Everyone looked so beautiful that day! Bryan's little sis Hayley got married the same day as our anniversary! I think its pretty fun that we get to share anniversaries. I felt like in a way I got to relive mine in a way! The sealing was seriously amazing and I was so grateful to be there for it! I'm so happy to have Hayley as a sister and We love Joe! We didn't get much pics of the happy couple because of course they were getting all of their pics taken with the photographer but here are some fun pics below.........

Free Friday at the Sportspark!

I found an ad in the tooele transcript bulliten newspaper that said "FREE ZIPLINE" at Miller Motorsports Park. This last weekend they had a big race at the park. I called the place up and they said it was FREE to go on friday! So i called up my friends and we went. It was BITTER COLD! We got to see lots of fun cars getting worked on!

It was so cold that we found an empty suite to go watch the races from inside. The only ones we got to see were the porsches race.

All of our friends looking out the window!!

Then it just turned into a blizzard and we had to run out into it and they stopped the races. My hands were frozen and I could barley feel them by the time we got back into the van!!

Needless to say we didn't get to do the zipline but I'm totally going to go do it another time with Bry! It was still fun with all that we did get to do!
