Gabe

Sawyer

We did alot of swimming between the new pool in Lindon with the flow rider and my sister Janette's pool.

Trip to Canada after 5 years

Sawyer in front of my house in Carmangay. It was so run down and the couches that were in the house when I was little were just sitting in the front. It was so fun to go back and go down memory lane with my parents and my sisters.

Kandy, Gordon, Yvonne, and I. The greatest family in the world. Kandy is my friend from way back to kindergarden. I love this family!!

Courtney, me, Kaitlyn, and Vana playing in the river running through my farm growing up. What a magical place that farm is!!

Sawyer, Savannah, and I at the good old Champion Ward.

4th of July





I thought we were being boring parents but we ended up having a blast just the 6 of us. We are used to having huge gatherings and this party was simple but memorable. We lit fire crackers and then slept in the tent that night. What a blast!!

Eagle Mountain friends

When I see these kids it brings happy memories of Eagle Mountain days. I got the best of friends there, we still love and learn from each other.

Hiking with BFF Lou

Vana, Gabe, Aubrey, Kaleb, and Tyler

Lou and I wanted to do a fun Friday activity and so we went up AF canyon and did a hike and let the kids splash in the lake. We had so much fun and the kids did really well on an adventurous hike. I love this picture of Lou helping her 3 year old Justin up the hill with a baby in a baby carrier on the front. Women are such multi-taskers.

Teeth were lost


Savannah lost her first tooth before Gabriel and he is 2 years older.

Playing in the mud

Kaleb, Gabe, and Savannah hiding from a neighbor girl that came walking in our yard and they were in there undies, oh no!!

Mommy was in a good mood!!




When I saw how much mud was in the backyard, I thought that if I was a kid I would love to splash in that. When I went in the house and told the kids to get some old clothes on and go play in the mud, they looked at me and thought I was crazy. Once they knew I was serious, they dove right in.

Happy 1st Birthday





We had a backyard party for Sawyer on April 23, he turned 1!! It was fun with cake, ice cream, and a pinata. Sawywer was kind of a grump because he was tired but he had a great birthday with all the people that love him. We are so lucky that we are surrounded by loved ones.

Happy 7th Birthday



Gabriel had his 7th birthday on April 15!! Gabe is such an awesome kid!! We went to classic skating for his birthday with mostly family and his best buddy Kanyon Coles. My kids also cant wait for their birthday because they love to make their birthday cake and obviously Gabe loves to lick the spoon. Things that we love about Gabe is the amount of love that he shows everyone. He is so social and will make friends anywhere because he isn't afraid to ask anyone a question and strike up some sort of conversation. Gabe is our little goof, pest, and tease, anyone smaller than him watch out. Gabe is so determined at everything, when he wants to do something he will practice and practice until he gets it. Gabriel wants to be just like his dad, when Jared has a hobby, Gabriel is right beside him trying to master the hobby. One other thing, Gabriel is always dirty, if he is doing anything the mess is on him and not on the project. There isn't a day that goes by that we don't get a love from Gabe, he is so sweet and tender and we love him.
