It's Official...

Cameron and Cecelia are officially engaged as of last night!! Me and my mom had quite the stressful adventure trying to get everything set up for Cameron to surprise Cecelia with a candle lit dinner.  After several phone calls to Cameron to stall we successfully pulled it off with seconds to spare.

 I think this means yes!!!

 Words cannot express how excited we are for Cameron and his beautiful finance.  We love them both so much and can't wait for the big day! Welcome to the family Cecelia!!!!

Iron Woman...

Well it's back on the iron for me.  The results are in, my anemia has returned.  Lately I have been completely drained and have had no energy to do anything.  I am constantly yawning and needing to sit down.  Anytime I try to do anything active I get light headed and last but not least my urge to chew on ice is back. So the solution is take my iron pills, I am already noticing a difference.  Last night I finally made it back to the gym and man did it feel good.  I have a little less than 2 months to look somewhat fit before our Mexico vacation!! Yahoo can't wait!!!

Mothers Day...

 Homemade is the best and this mothers day had plenty of homemade things to make me happy!

 For the most part Payton made this card all by herself.  Look how good my 3 year old can write!

 Nic also wrote me the sweetest letter filled front to back! I was in tears reading it, it was one of the sweetest things for sure. He was also so good to me and made me breakfast in bed along with making me and my mom dinner.  Usually I don't like being kicked out of the kitchen, but on this day I was all for it.

  My MIL got these roses for us girls for Mothers Day.  I love planting plants and adding color to our yard.

But this year I have to keep an eye out.  I have a little tornado to follow.

 Half my pretty flowers are missing their petals or half of the plant.

My Favorites...

 Today is Maddies last day here in Utah for 4 months!! I am so incredibly sad that she is leaving. Our kids just love her so much and I know Payton will be asking all the time where Maddie is, and it might break my heart a little.  By the time she gets back Connor will probably be on the go and have the walking thing down, after all I think it's time!

 This picture just makes me laugh every time I look at it.  He is such a happy kid.  From this picture I hope to have a memory that last's a lifetime.  On this particular morning he thought he was so funny.  He would fall on his belly on the bed and say "Oh" then get up and throw his head back and laugh. You can't look at this picture and not smile, it's impossible!!

 Every day we go for our little stroll.. one day he won't have to have this pink companion, I just know it!

 I love this picture of Payton.  I can just hear her saying, "Smiling faces make you happy."

 And you bet they do.

I have said it so many times, I am incredibly blessed in my life. How could I ever go a day and not feel blessed with these two perfect kids in my life and the studliest of studs husband.

Tis the Season...

 For irrigation...
Connor wasn't hesitant to get in at all...

The water is unbearably cold but it didn't stop the kids from having a fun day of playing in the water. 

Girls Weekend...

To start off I have to say that I absolutely love our girls weekend! I look forward to it for so long and in a blink of an eye it has come and gone.  I don't know what I am going to do this summer with Carlin moving to New Jersey and Maddie to Alaska. I will miss them both for sure!
This year instead of going to Logan we went to Salt Lake.  So of course we had to go to City Creek which is amazing! Not that I would really by anything, but what a fun place to walk around! We ate dinner at the Blue Lemon which was very good and I would recommend it to everyone! After eating and looking around we went back to the hotel for some swimming.  I am a little bummed that I didn't know how to work my camera so our underwater pictures didn't turn out. Sad day.  Oh well we had so much fun I tell you what we are quite the hoots when we are all together.  There is never a dull moment that's for sure.

I am so glad we were able to do this and to also include our soon to be new sister! That is if we didn't totally freak her out. jk Yes everyone Cameron is getting MARRIED!! We are all doing the happy dance! More on that when it's officially official!
We parted ways a little early in the morning because we were moving Cameron and Maddie back home.  And what a long day it was! But they are all moved out of their apartment and back home now.  And Maddie is preparing for the move to Alaska on Saturday. 

Picnic...

The other day I took the kids to Beus Pond where we had a nice little picnic and then fed the ducks..
