April things

Brielle's soccer started and man she had so much fun. 

She mostly giggled while chasing the ball but she had a good time but a few games in was dying to do dance or gymnastics instead. We told her to stick out the season and then she could start it. Her buddies Brightyn and Zayne were on her team and by the end of the season got the hang of it for scoring some goals!

 Chase and Chance come to Tooele often to race so its always fun getting to go watch them. Carter's eyes just get huge and he starts dreaming of having a motor bike some day.

 One evening while Chad was invited to a ReAL soccer game, my neighbors threw and impromptu BBQ! So fun! Everyone threw in a little something and we had a feast! Good times! Great neighbors!

 RYLEE'S HAIR! It deserves some blog inclusion. She was blonde blonde when she was born at it has slowly changed over time which makes me sad. Its still so blonde around her face but look just how beautiful it is! It's thick and the best hair too! She's started twirling her finger in her hair alot, which is so cute, but it makes for some not fun knots in her hair. Stop growing baby girl!

 I love how my sign for my wall turned out that Chad gave me for my bday. I later added a cool anchor to the side of it and I'm really happy with it!

 Sister sleepovers are the best! Well I wouldn't know since I've never had one! But I'm sure they are pretty great since you never have to pack up to go home! I love (and sometimes hate) that these girls make it a priority for atleast a once a month sleepover. In a fort. With every blanket and stuffed animal they can find. Love my sweet girls.

Girls night birthday celebration

I've seriously got some great friends here in this ward. As much as I complain about it, there are some pretty amazing women that were brought together. And we all needed eachother! They spoiled me to death on my b day and made a really fun night possible! I really wanted to go try this cookie dough place which ended up being a vending machine, but it was yummy! 

 Then we took Ross by STORM! Watch out shoppers, we are coming! We found SO many fun things and so many things I had actually been looking to buy I found! Happy birthday to me!

 How fun are we?! We also hit target and Nan and Billie took a rest in the teepee. HEE HEE!

This was another girls night celebrating Steffs bday! Good times, amazing girls and so many laughs! Love you ladies! I'm forever grateful our paths crossed. 

BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!!!!!

My first Jazz game!

After family pictures we dashed over to the Vivint Center for my first JAZZ GAME! 

 Wow its a lot of work getting 4 kids into that stadium with food and coats and a million people! But we made it.

 Brielle was SO into the game. She yelled DEFENSE and screamed and giggled when they made shots. She was so hilarious. Chad might have a sports buddy after all. Ry was not super excited but she was a trooper through the whole game.

 She even almost fell asleep but didn't.

 All the fam decked out in Jazz gear!

 Pretty girls! They won the game and it was a really good and really expensive despite the free tickets from Jr. Jazz! But we made a memory and it was worth it and so so fun.

Spring Famiy Pics

So my 2 good friends teamed up to ramp up their photography websites. They ran a contest for a family to help them build a fun portfolio. We were the runner up and I was ecstatic when we were told we were it! I had just a few days to gather outfits but it all came together nicely. 

 Photographing with Alex is more like a fun party or play date than work! She does the best work because she will go to any lengths to get those true perfect smiles. My kids absolutely loves it and I think Chad even may enjoy it a little!

 Get ready...here they come! THEY ARE AMAZING! I love how she uses light to make them perfect. I'll let the pictures do the talking!

 My other friend Katelyn in a videographer and is also SO talented. She is actually losing her eye sigt, yet she can create such beautiful videos and capture perfect moments. She videoed the whole time capturing the fun we were having and getting Alex in all her glory. They both are amazing and made the greatest video ever for her website.

 And the best thing about her is she is not against letting my kids pick their poses and props...even if they are as crazy as this! She is so fun. And I love her work and our friendship and everything about her!!!
