Our Month of May

Crazy girls. I talked Traci into biking with me. We decided to do a Century ride (107 miles). My sweet husband and girls followed us and were there to support as at all the rest stops. Notice we only have a picture of the beginning of the race. Way to tired at the end to even think of pictures. We had a blast and give us a couple of months and we may just think about another one.

Love those dimples. I may be biased but could she be any cuter.

Sassy pants!!! Natalee had her first dance recital and she loved this costume. She did such a good job.

Our baby turned 5!!! Can't believe it. She is getting so big and we sure do enjoy having her around. As you can tell she thinks she is as big as the girls and so she got to have her first friend party. Strawberry Shortcake and 7 little friends and you couldn't have asked for a better day.

Our birthday boy. So excited to turn 35 can't you tell. The girls had to have a party for him with the "special" chair. Haylee gave him the t-ball trophy on the counter and they were so happy he played along. We love him more than ever.

Ashlee showing off her loot. We are going to have to have a special room for all of her trophy's.

Ashlee competed in the Utah State Tumbling and Trampoline meet and she took First on the double mini. That is the tramp where you run and jump on the tramp and then do flips off. She also took 7th on tramp and 8th on floor. We are so proud of her.

I'm Still Here Really!!!

Ok so it only took me three hours to figure out how to do all of this again but I stuck with it. I am going to update at least the month of May but couldn't figure out how to get all the pictures off my camera. A big update is coming though so don't totally give up on me. We have been so busy but I'm sure that is not a very good excuse. Hopefully I can figure everything out soon and catch everyone up. Thanks for hanging in there it will get better.

So I was a little busy!!!!! But now updated

So here we are I am still around and here is proof. This is a sneak peak and we better be seeing some family soon. It has been so busy and so great. Learned a lot about each other and those we worked with. Wouldn't have been able to do this project without the wonderful help of all our family and friends. Thank you all and we love you. Enjoy!!

Haylee's bedroom full of little girls playing dress-up what more could I ask for in life really.

Ashlee's bedroom she wanted something a little more grown up.

Natalee's pinkalicious bedroom. She is out of control.

Our bedroom and I am loving my new bedroom set.

The dining room right off the front door. This color is very fun.

This is the kitchen which I love.

Same room different view with the fireplace.

This is the living room off the kitchen. You can't see the fireplace but the lighting wasn't great.

And finally the thing that has taken all the time. We are in our new house. Yea!!!!

Off to Vegas which we didn't take many pictures of ( wonder why). Then stopped at Tuchacan to see Annie which was a blast.

Someone could have warned be about this place. Ashlee was ready to sell her soul to buy one of these dolls. Of course they are well loved and their Dad is wonderful. The plane ride home was so much more enjoyable.

Chicago night life was so much fun. Of course we all had to pose.

Next was Chicago where we got to go see Mary Poppins on broadway. I wished I could have taken their pictures inside to catch their faces. So much fun.

I loved Yellowstone. The girls were upset we saw no bears. But we did see tons of buffalo!!!

We took a three week vacation traveling with Aaron in June. This is at Yellowstone and Aaron was freaking out the whole time we took this picture. He hates heights and thought they were way to close to the edge. (great pic though)

My girls love to fish. This is a late Sat. afternoon at the gorge and we caught all kinds of fish from the shore. The girls were in heaven. Their dad could not be more proud,

Both Ashlee and Haylee competed at regional gymnastics this year and placed. We are so proud of them. Ashlee loves to compete and Haylee wants everyone else to win. So different and thats the way we like it.

This one is not to loved (ha ha). She loves to pose for pictures and here she graduated from preschool but gets to go again next year so much fun.

Natalee turned 4 are you kidding!!! She is so grown up and wants to do everything the big girls do. This one has a personality to die for we sure love her tons.

Ok Ok Travis and Shunae this is for you. So life has been a bit hectic but we are getting back on track here are a few things we have done in the last 6 months. Way back when Julie made us these darling matching dresses and my girls loved them. Thank goodness someone is on top of it. Thanks so much Julie we are loving these.

Halloween 2008

Our trick or treaters had an excellent Halloween this year. We really missed everyone we couldn't go to though. Glad to move on the Thanksgiving.

Is there a more darling Dorthy? We loved the red sparkly shoes. And she loved Halloween.

Easy comes easy goes. Haylee would have been anything I told her too. We loved the green face and striped tights thought.

This was our third idea and costume change. Good thing she is so cute and I guess welcome to life as an eight year old.

Our Little Miss Cheerleaders

All done and now the treats. What fun cute girls. We love them around here.

Haylee was so cute and serious about the routine and cheers. She will be our future cheerleader.

Natalee and Haylee did the little miss cheerleader with the high school cheerleaders and loved it. Natalee liked to cheer but didn't like their music so she wouldn't dance. (ha ha)

House Update

This is the front of the garage and there is one more piece that goes on the very top the make it pointy. I am so loving this part it is actually looking like a house.

A little closer up. The guy on the ladder is our framer Bart. We love him right now!

Here we go up up and away. Thank goodness for Bart and his crane. This may have been a little over Aaron and I head. This is the garage portion.
