Hip Hip Hooray!!

This is Jake and Madison this morning, they were so excited for there last day of school. They will miss there friends but are glad that school is done. Madison on her last day of Kindergarten. My baby will be going to school full days next year. What will I do with myself?

Jake giving me the thumbs-up about his last day of 2nd grade.

Madison and her cute friends, Makayla and Austin. They have been in the same kindergarten class this year and have been so cute together. I was able to get to know these two alot bettter this year and they are such good kids. Madison is lucky to have them as buddies. We found out today who Madison's 1st grade teacher will be next year, She gets to have Mrs. Kite and we are thrilled. Both the boys had her and we just love her and Madison is happy that she will be her teacher.

Princess Madi

So once we were home from Disneyland Madi really wanted to take her stuff to school for some show and tell. So I let her take the gloves and Ariel purse to school and also wear her fake hair. She thought she was pretty cool that day and was so happy i let her go to school this way.

Shalise's 1st baby shower

So my sisters and I threw a baby shower for my sister in law on sat. She will be having my cute niece on July 1 (or sooner, if you ask her) This is a picture of my 3 grandmas and my mom. Baby Ellie will be very lucky to have so many grandmas, especially so many Great grandmas. I also have another grandma that couldn't be there. What a cute lil momma. Look at her sportin her hot pink high heels. She has always loved her high heels and being 7 1/2 months prego won't stop that! Shalise, i love ya and can not wait for little Ellie to be here so i can just cuddle with her and love her to pieces. You have always been a great aunt and I can't wait to do the same to your kids.

Madi, Tayler and Meg also were at the shower and helped with handing Aunt Shalise her gifts. It wasn't planned but all 3 were wearing hot pink and black which were the colors of the decorations cause the baby room will be in those colors.

Our cute decorated table. Of course Kaycee out it together and also made the darling Ellie wood letters. Just ask Kaycee if you need help with ANYTHING and she can do it.

Cute shots of Jake

Don't mind the date on these photos cause there all wrong but anyways Jake will be turning 8 next weekend and is getting babtized so these are a few shots we took to put on his invitations. I love this first one with his hands in his pockets.

Our Memorial day weekend

Brayden played in a soccer tournament this weekend and his team did really well. They kept on winning so that means you keep on playing so they played in the championship game Mon afternoon and took 1st place. Way to go boys! The whole team after the medals were handed out. Brayden has played soccer with most of these boys since he was 7. Austin , on the end with no uniform on, has stitches in both knees but he came out and cheered his team on. After the game they had a team party at Layton Surf N Swim. The coach and his wife are awesome and are really good at keeping the boys together and having fun as friends. Mon evening we went to Curt's dads for a BBQ. Curt ended up getting talked into taking most of our nieces and nephews on a four wheeler ride. They went down the street to feed the horses and while they were gone it decided to down pour. They tried to wait it out in a barn but came back pretty wet.

My father in law built this waterfall in his backyard last year. He did a great job and it's so pretty.

Jake found grandmas Dolly Parton wig and had to try it on. The silly hat him and Madi are wearing in these photos are from a friends cowboy birthday party.

This is for you Jace

While in California on our bus ride over to Disneyland, we saw this...

St. George

I have so many pictures that I have taken that I don't even know where to start or how many I really should post but here is a few. So after Disneyland we needed a vacation to relax. Lol We stopped in St. George for 3 nights after the 5 nights in California. We had such a good time. It's always nice to get away as a family and not worry about all the day to day stuff that goes on at home. Brayden and Curt were practicing his back flips into the water but I never caught a good one of that but I did get this one. JAke and Madi just LOVe the water.

The condo we stayed in had a really nice basketball court for the kids to play at. I wish i would have got a picture of them playing ping- pong cause that was Jake's favorite thing to do.

Jake got a Yo-Yo from the resort in California and he played with it so much and actually got reaaly good that when we were in St. George Curt found a better Yo Yo at Target for him to play with,by the end of the trip Brayden, Jake and Madison have all learned some prety cool tricks from Curt on there Yo Yo's.

They had a cool patio out back with a grill so we cooked out there each night. Thanks babe for being such a great cook!!

I'm Back!!!

So these are all out of order but oh well. This is in Mickey' s Toon town and they thought it would be funny to pretend they were all asleep, besides Jake. We were exhausted by this point though. On wed night we decided to take the kids to a baseball game. Curtis had never been to a professional ball game and so we went. The boys loved it and so did I and Madi did pretty good as long as she had nachos, a churo, or popcorn in front of her. She also thought the fireworks that were going off each homerun were pretty cool too.

I couldn't flip this picture but I had to add it on her because Ariel is Madison's favorite princess.

This was by far the longest line we had to stand in the entire time at Disneyland, and it was to get your picture taken with the Princesses. Madi loved it though and she had on a tiara and princess earrings and also a fake curly piece of hair to wear.

Isn't Curt so strong!!

This is us with the Incredibles. Sorry Brayden's eyes are closed but with the bright sun that is how about 80% of his shots are.

Our family in front of Disneyland!!

Carilla Devil or however you spell that, was a pretty funny lady. She was so convincing that she was mean that she scared Jake right away.

This is one of the first pictuers I took, can you tell they are excited to be on vacation.

Cute picture of the kids next to Mater in California Adventures.
