Happy Birthday Ava

Ava turned "3" this past weekend. She had been looking forward to her "happy day" for months so she was very excited when it was finally here! We had a fun day, we went to Build-A-Bear and made new bears which she had wanted to do and then we had a little pizza and treats party in the evening with family! Happy Birthday Ava, We Love You Tons!

Aunt Lacey made her princess doll cake which was so darling, she loved it! Thanks for all your work to make it so very very cute!

IT'S A GIRL

We found out today that we are having a baby girl, everything looks healthy and well for which we are so grateful! Ava was right, she always insisted she was having a sister so I guess she got her wish! We are thrilled!

Arizona

Last weekend we went to Mesa to celebrate with Roman and Shaley at an open house for them and then Shaley went through the Mesa Temple for the first time so both families could all attend. It was a super fun weekend. It was the first trip my family has been on with just the adults and everyone was able to go, we had lots and lots of laughs staying up talking and so much fun all being together! It was fun to meet more of Roman's family, they were all so kind and the open house was great!

Roman's twin nephews were so cute, they made a sign and were passing out ice cream treats during the open house!

Of course Chris and Tadd has to join in lighting the fireworks the boys had, which are illegal of any kind there but that didn't stop them.

Saturday night we went to a Diamondbacks baseball game. It was blazing hot, at ten o'clock it was still 100 degrees but we had a good time despite that.

We rode the little bike buggies back to the cars from the game, it definitely beats walking in the heat!

Happy 2nd Birthday Griffin and Crew

The little dudes turned 2! I can't believe how fast this past year has gone. It's been fun to see their personalities grow, they couldn't be more opposite in every way. I'm not sure we're ready for the "terrible two's" x 2. I feel like we've already been there lately. It's always an adventure raising two at the same age! Happy Birthday to you little guys, We Love You so much!

Family September Birthday Party

Happy Birthday to Madilynn, Griffin, Crew, Andrew and Shaley!

Griffin just can't get it in his mouth fast enough but he enjoys every bite!

DeMar September Birthday's

We had a big family party for all the September birthday's! There are so many on both sides of our family born in this month! Happy Birthday to Eugene, Bryan, Sue, Griffin, Crew and Sharae!

I'm pretty sure Crew is getting the raw end of that deal being squashed!
