Singin' in the Rain

These guys are so funny. It was raining but they still wanted to play outside so they got this GIANT umbrella and made a roof. I think this is an igloo or something.
Landon is playing with his dog like usual. Cocoa is his buddy. She is supposed to be this pretty foo foo dog with bows in her hair. But she's a scruffy dog at heart. She would be wet and muddy everyday if she could.

Four Little Monkeys!

On Friday night Scott and I got to go to the temple together. It is always such a treat to have that time together. Thanks to Grandma Karen we were able to have a nice evening. When we got home she said the kids wanted to sleep in our bed. Lately, whenever Scott and I go out, the kids always end up sleeping together in someone's room. Well, tonight it was my room they chose. The dog was even sleeping with them.
Kids are so fun! It is so great to see them grow up and become good friends. So whenever I come home at night and see them sleeping together, it just reminds me how they love to be together. I've been so blessed with four amazing children.

Sea World

We went to Sea World in February. We had so much fun seeing all of the animals. The Shamu show was the best. Ethan wanted to sit in the "soak zone" and he got soaked! It was a beautiful and sunny day without any crowds.

Madison's Christmas Recital

Madison did a great job at her Christmas recital. She looked so cute in my old Christmas dress. She played Silent Night perfectly. We are so proud of Madison!!

Ethan's First Piano Recital

We are so proud of Ethan and all of his hard work. He had his first recital and did a great job. He was nervous but still did great. Ethan's been playing piano for a couple months now.

Our 10 year Anniversary Celebration- just 2 years late.

Two and a half years ago, life was too crazy to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. We had just moved out of state, had a brand new baby, and didn't have any babysitters. So we had to wait a tiny bit because life kept getting crazier. But I am so thankful to celebrate our CRAZY life together. I wouldn't want to share the madness with anyone but Scott. He has been so amazing these past 12 years. I have learned so much from him and my life is blessed with so much happiness because of him.

So off to Playa del Carmen, Mexico to celebrate!!!


Cenotes are underground rivers that collect into these huge pools. This one was about 100 underground and about 150 ft. deep. It was amazing! These long vines hung all the way down. Of course, we had to swim in it! I just kept thinking, "Don't think about how deep it is or what's down there."

Chitchinitza- Wow, the Mayan ruins were so incredible. Lots of sacrificial deaths.

Our hotel was so cool. It was quiet and away from the main city. It was like we were lost in paradise. Except paradise came with all-you-can-eat buffets!
