Battlecreek Falls

Brandon and I went on this hike with Taylor's Scout Troop and thought it would be a fun one for the whole family to enojoy. It was a perfect day where it was not too hot and not to cold, so after Taylor's Ballgame we headed out with Greandma Holt to add to our adventures. Everyone did good so after the hike we headed to Olive Garden to celebrate Kiley's Birthday. I Love Days like this!

Happy Birthday Kiley!!!

Happy Birthday to our Cute, Laughable, Funny, Honest Kiley! Kiley had many fun filled days full of birthday joy. She had her friend party, then we went hiking and out to Olive Garden. Then on her real birthday she was lucky enough to have her dad make her favorite breakfast of Swedish Pancakes then we went to church then to grandma's for dinner then for a family bike ride then to the play at the park.  I think she was really spoiled!!

Girls Family Birthday Party

We had a Family Birthday Party for girls after the Piano Recital where everyone came over for a BBQ then we headed up to Peaks Arena for some Ice Skating. Good Times! 

Piano Recital 2012

Taylor and Brooklyn played good at the piano recital they each had two peices they memorized and one duet that they played together on. Good Job you two!

Taylor Scouts

Taylor had an Awesome night at Scouts - He earned his Arrow of Light, Weblos, 20 Year and his
Religious Knot. We are so proud of him and his accomplishments! You're a good kid and we Love you!

Camping April 2012

Our First Camping Trip of the year - We went up Diamond Fork and found a perfect spot to camp. As you can see right by the camper was this creek that the weather was so warm the kids went swimming in it and just up from us Taylor was able to fish as much as he wanted, then we just walked across the street to shoot guns. It is always nice to get away and be able to play with the kids and it's always a bonus to have good friends to go with us.

Brooklyn's Birthday

Our Baby Girl Brooklyn turned 9! She started her day out with Dad making her Swedish Pancakes and Bacon then off to school she went. I was able to take her out to Lunch to the Old Speghetti Factory then to get donuts for her school class. She came home just in time to have some of her friends come over for a party where they played, had pizza, rootbeer floats and lots of fun! Brooklyn brings peace, joy, love, laughter and fun to our family. Happy Birthday Brooklyn, We Love You!

St. George Spring Break

Spring Break in St. George - We did so many fun things  I had a hard time picking which pictures to post. We started by visiting the Petting Zoo and getting Ice Cream, then we went to Cove Fort for a tour then on to St. George. Grandma Holt took care of a lady that had a house down there they let us use. It was really nice. The next day we went to visit the Jacob Hamblin Home then Brigham Young's home then on to the temple. Grandma was nice enough to watch the kids while Bj and I had an amazing time in the temple, we finished the day playing at the Aquatic Center swimming( the kids loved this). The next day we went to SandHollow Resevoir and fished and Kiley and Wyatt were brave enough to play in the water when it was time for lunch we found a park in town that had a fun water feature and playground to play and eat before we headed out to see Zion's. We drove up threw the park and tunnel then back down to have the kids pick out a beautiful colorfull rock :) After Zion's we met some friends at a pond they knew of for some more fishing, the kids enjoyed hanging out with friends and catching a lot of blue gill and trout. The next day we headed down to Vegas. We stopped at the Outlets for some quick shopping then to the Bass Pro Shop then down to the strip to eat at the Cheescake Factory and watch the Battle of the Gods show. We then walked up the strip to see the water show at the Belagio, the M&M and Coke factory then we took a walk down the old strip and then headed to Red Robin for dinner (YUM). The next day Brandon took the kids out for some more fishing then back to the house to rest then we took a ride up to a Lake not to far from us then out for ice cream. I Love Sprink Break it gets me excited for Summer!!!!

Ice Skating

We took the kids Ice Skating for the first time this April and at first they were shaky but by the time we were done they were having fun playing a game of tag. Falls and all it was a fun different adventure, we hope to do it again for the girls b-day.

Surprise Getaway!

Thursday Brandon surprised me with a getaway which is really hard to do with me. I had no idea, it had been a crazy busy day and we had more errands we had to do in Orem so I got the girls off to dance, told the boys what i wanted them to do while I was gone, Holly walked in i talked to her for a minute told her I should only be about and hour and off i went. Little did I know! We finished our errands and Brandon started heading east, I asked him where we were going and he kept changing the subject so I figured we were going for a drive since the errands didn't take to long. Up Up Up we went until we hit Midway and I started to get more suspicious and when he turned in I knew it! Then we spent Friday up in Park City. It was so Awesome as Holly would say it was Epic!!! Love you Babe!

Taylor's Basketball

Taylor had a great year this year in Basketball. Brandon was able to coach him again. They did really good. It is always fun to see how much they improve every year. Good Job Boys!!!!

Taylor's Scout Hike

Brandon and I were able to go on Taylor's Scout Hike with him and some of his troop. It was a perfect day for a hike. The hike went up to some water falls and still had snow and ice so half the falls were running and half were still iced up (really cool). The boys had fun and I think all had a good time!

Family Temple Day

The first part of this year Donna deceided she wanted to do Tammy's Temple work. So Bj, Donna and I went and did initatories then Angie, Nate, Gina and Matt came for the Endowment Session then we went and had Donna sealed to her Mom and Dad. Then we went out to eat. It was a nice event.

Snowman

This year we didn't get much snow so we had to make the best of it when we did. This snow we received all melted by night but Wyatt was atleast able to get a snowman in before it melted.

Valentine's Day

As you can tell by my posts I have not been very good at taking pictures so far this year I will try harder! Valentines day is always a fun day to think of the ones you love. The kids always look forward to Bj making pink pancakes for breakfast before heading out the door to all of their fun filled Valentines Adventures at school. This year Taylor had his first Valentine named Kaylee ( I think we are too young for this but I guess the whole 5th grade do it so we made the best of it). Bj had school so we went out after and enjoyed many wonderful chocolates and chocolate covered strawberry's (YUM). It was a wonderful day, always fun to celebrate!

My Birthday

Despite not having any snow this year I had a great birthday. It started out with the kids and Bj making me breakfast then heading to the gym, then lunch with Holly and Shell's family and then to top it all off we went to dinner and the temple with friends making one fabulous birthday!!!!!

Christmas Morning 2011

Yay it's Christmas Morning. I didn't take near enough pictures. Oh well I was having too much fun! Taylor got a whole lot of fishing stuff, basket balls, clothes a scooter and more. Brooklyn got a pogo stick ( her favorite gift) fishing pole, goose and duck calls, clothes etc. Kiley also got a pogo stick, a micraphone but her favorite was the walkie talkies, etc. Wyatt got a bike, scooter, ninja costume and more. This year Christmas was on a Sunday so we were able to go to Sacrament and listen to the Beautiful Christmas Music, feel the Spirit of Christmas, then continued the rest of our day at Grandma Holts. It was a Wonderful Christmas even with out the snow.

We went to dinner and Temple Square to see the lights with our friends Mark and Kelly and their family this year. It was a lot of fun. We ate dinner then met Kevin and Shell at Grand America and did a Christams hunt, then headed over to Temple Square to see the lights. The lights were beautiful as always, one of their highlights was outside the gates was Santa and Buddy the Elf. After we saw them Kiley leaned over me and said "Mom I am so excited I have never seen buddy the elf before" . They love the move Elf. So that was fun. It was a Nice way to start out the Christmas feeling!

Bobcat

Brandon's friend Erik is into trapping and the last couple of years Brandon has gone with him. Well this year he talked Bj into buying some tags. So we tagged along this trip to Huntington and Joe's Valley. We caught a Bobcat. The kids loved it. This is the first time I have seen one in person. It was really cool to see how amazing these animals are. They are so beautiful. We had a fun trip staying with Shell and Kevin and they came along with us too. We had a lot of fun 4 wheeling, watching movies, playing with the kids, Swimming. It was a nice weekend.

Happy Thanksgiving! We were blessed to have two Thanksgiving meals this year. The day started with Bj and Taylor playing in the Turkey Bowl, then we headed up to my parents for the first meal. It turned out very well and was one of our best yet. Then we headed down to Bj's mom's for the the second meal, which turned out nice as well.
