Baptism dress shopping!!

Baptism dress shopping was seriously so so fun! My mom and Jade came along and of course Jade had to try on dresses too. This first dress was my favorite! But in the end it was what Sage wanted not me! They are all beautiful though.





This is the dress Sage picked!

This is dinner at Olive Garden!

Sage is 8!

I can't believe Sage is eight! It is so crazy! She had a friend birthday party this year, and she loved it! We did the party Friday night before her birthday on Saturday! She had a few friends over for a dinner and movie. We made blankets with them it was super fun! Saturday morning we went baptism dress shopping and then went to Olive Garden for dinner. Sage loves Olive Garden!




Sage wanted a cake from Cold Stone. She doesn't like regular cakes. It was really yummy!






Here is all the girls and their blankets!

Paxton's First Birthday!! April 17, 2010

Paxton loved his birthday! We had dinner outside and then he enjoyed his cake! He then opened presents! I can't believe my baby is one! It is so crazy! We love our little Paxton! He is such a happy and fun little guy!

Sage's Singing Performance

Sage's singing performance was in April. I am a little late posting. This will be the last singing performance for a while. She did great!
Paxton was a little bit of a nightmare at the performance

Jade wanted to perform as well.

Hooray for Spring!

Spring is finally here. Or is it? The tulips are here but the warm weather seems to be staying away. Here are a few of Ricky's pictures of Spring!


Jade wanted to pose for Dad. She is such a cutie! Even with her PJ's on!


Jades feet are behind the flowers!


This is a close up of some of the tulips in front of the house. So fun!


This is actually our tree in the front yard! I think it is so beautiful! I really do love Spring and love all the blossoms and tulips! It really is a beautiful time of year!

2nd Soccer Game

The Green Dragons came back with a vengeance, they won by a land slide this week. Justin Bubert was back and brought new energy to little Dragons. He put on quite the show. Everyone tried much harder and it showed. It's fun to see them rewarded with a win after last weeks lost.


Look at the determination in their faces, they wanted it so bad. You would almost think they were competing against each other.


Not sure what made such a difference this week, but it didn't hurt that the boys kept rubbing Hunters head for good luck.


Justin Bubert in control of the ball, he was the MVP for sure.

First Soccer Game This Summer

The Green Dragons had a rough start this spring. They lost their first game of the season, and it was not pretty. They tried hard and had a ton of fun, but after the long winter break, their winning spree came to an end. Hunter has so much fun playing soccer, we where shocked when he chose soccer over the Jr. rodeo we was involved with last summer. We think it is the fun bunch of boys that make up the Green Dragons, they all play so well together, on and off the field.


Hunter is caught in action during his famous flying leap kick.


Hunter and Will battle for the ball.


Hunter is almost always caught smiling and having a good time playing soccer.


A little disappointed, Hunter humbly walks back to the side lines after loosing their first game.

Bryce Canyon

Spring hit and we got behind on posting the second half of our Spring Break vacation. After 2 days of Zions we spent the last day in Bryce National Park. Here It was a long day. After hitting every wide spot in the road, and every parking lot the made, we made the long trek home. It was worth it, hopefully the kids will remember it.


This is one of the views, from one of the many overlooks in Bryce Canyon.


Ricky thinks he is such a great photographer, but I took this picture with my little point and shoot. I think it turned out great!!


This is the whole group of kids, probably the only time they where all in one place and holding still. It didn't last very long.

Matt risking his life on the edge of a cliff, taking more pictures.


One of the last short hikes that we did, I think this one was called Inspiration Point.


Lots of Love to go around on this trip. Jade and Jake where sooo cute.


Even siblings where caught hugging. Here Hunter gives his big sister a big hug.


Sage and Kenadee love spending time together.
