Man Date

My man loves getting together every few months with some of his closets friends in the ward and they have a game night which will last until the early morning hours of the next day sometimes! But he loves it and I love that he can do this with his buddies or my family. Aren't they cute? :)

Father's Day!!

We love you babe!!!

Stake Activity Days

They have a Stake Activities Days every year in June. I have been asked by the Stake for the last 2 years to take all the pictures of the girls' in the Stake for the activity. Last year they did the Wizard of Oz theme. It was awesome and this year's activity days was just as grand. These girls are so lucky and so loved by the Stake Primary Presidency and Activity Day leaders. And I am now proud to be one of the leaders. It's a fun calling but it also has it's challenges. We have 18 girls ages 8-11 that we teach. And a handful of them are well, a handful! HAHA! :) But's it's also wonderful too to be with them and to teach them and to also learn from them. Obviously this year's theme was a garden theme. Can't quite remember the exact theme, but it turned out so cute!

Date Night(s)

I think it's really important to have date nights with your spouse. Ryan and I stop doing date nights for awhile, not intentionally, but life just got busy and we forgot. We let a few other things slide as well and realized it months later as we were not feeling as connected or close to one another. To keep a marriage strong, it needs many things. And date nights and one-on-one time is one of those things!  Here we are back on track with our date nights...

Shrine Circus Comes to Town

We got free tickets to the Circus this summer and had such a great time! It was a little warm but other than that it was perfect! This might be something we have to do every year. We loved the men dancers. They were seriously amazing. I couldn't get enough of watching them. Thanks for the tickets Sister Gifford!! We love you!

The End of another great School Year!

End of the year School parties!! Every year the school takes the money it earns from Box Tops and throws an after school party on the second to last day of school. They have bounce houses and set up a food court. The kids run around and play with their friends and have a great time. Parents gather around and talk and it's fun for everyone. Emily's best friends are Brylee and Afton. Madison's best friends are Brooke and Macy. And Avery's best friends are Chaz, Sterling, Halle, Tyson, Aubrey and Carli.  

It's hard to believe I will have all my kids in school all day long. FREEDOM!! haha. JK! sort of.

I sure do miss their cute diaper bottoms, slobbery kisses and snuggles though.
