Tyla is 5 years old!!

Tylas birthday was this week. She was so excited to finally have her birthday. She has been counting down for about....a year now!

She got to celebrate it at her preschool by bringing the snacks for the day (cookies) and her birthday treat (candy). She also got to be the leader for the day.

At home she got to decorate cupcakes with her cousins, Taryn and Brieann, and Payton. And also got to go see Bedtime Stories with her best friend, Halee, and Payton.

Dad made the dinner of her choice, spaghetti! And we topped it off with "Happy Birthday" using one of the cupcakes!

It was a fun day having her be the birthday princess. And she is so excited for her Hello Kitty birthday party this weekend!

Birthday celebrations

Spring has offically started and boy have the birthdays~~ We went to some great birthday celebrations in March and wished many others a happy happy birthday. We got to go down to good ol' Utah county to celebrate our nieces, Makayla and Ellie, birthday. It was a fun day at the park.

Oma (to me), Omoo (to the great grandkids) turned 80 years old!! We celebrated at her favorite resturant, Ho Ho Gourmet! It was such a great time hanging out with the family! Leraine, Stan and Darian put on a show for us, and they let the little ones join in!

Whats going on?

It has been a while since I posted last. The kids are growing like crazy.



As you can see Tyla is becoming a professional photographer... of herself! I turn on the camera and get these types of photos as well as pictures of the fridge, wall, stairs, etc!


Payton and Pete are growing closer and closer, and even starting to look alike (as seen below).

Payton is doing very well on potty training! He is even learning to dress himself!
As you can tell (or maybe not) he still needs a little help in that department
(All his clothes are on backwards, including his underwear, LOL)

Pete and I have started our own financial service business! Pete is still doing granite for the time being. Our goal is to replace his income and have him out of the Granite industry with in 1 1/2 years! It is an awesome business and we are so blessed to have found it. Thanks to all of you for your support with this transition and for helping us get our name out there.
