Mucho Marzo!

These pictures are all horribly out of order, but I just don't have time to organize them at this point!
Somehow these three cute kids ended up sleeping in bed with me while at my parents house... I think we were all a little nervous about scorpions.


Braxton has a blow up at my Aunt Julie's house, and her and my Aunt Camille took it upon themselves to give him a bath :)


Dress up and playtime with cousin Haley! These two make a cute pair!



Oh how I love this sweet baby boy.


Looking handsome on his blessing day!


Great Grandma Schoenberg. I have so many wonderful memories of my Grandma Schoenberg. So glad my children have all got to know and love her.


A trip to AZ wouldn't be complete without a trip to Bahama Bucks! Love their shave ice!




Not a great picture... but gotta remember these days :)


Dinner with my parents. A horrible picture, but a great night at our favorite place - Carrabbas.  I don't remember the last time I got to hang out with them just the 3 of us. I will be forever grateful for the incredible people they are.



Just another night in the best cul-de-sac ever!


Mutton- Bustin! The kids were so excited for this, especially Casen... and his sheep was the SLOWEST one out there! He was so disappointed! But they both did great :)


Oh you know, just being cute and happy despite sweating to death in this hot, humid weather!


The kids LOVED these slides! Probably could have gone dozens of time! Marlee and Ryan caught a little air the first time so she was a tiny bit nervous at first but then didn't want to stop!




These three little stinkers ran up stairs and got ready all by themselves to surprise me. But then ofcourse they had to hide under the murphy bed :) Their giggles gave them away!


Temple Family Night with Heather and her kiddos!



Seriously just too cute! And only 2 days apart :)



Busted!


Our first time having a garden! The kids loved helping plant! We did a few from pots and the rest from seeds. It was fun to have both.




Grabbing shakes after a long day playing sports! I could never get tired of her cute face!




Ryan watched this fire from his work building. We later watched a video of a man stuck on the roos who barely survived. So scary!


The temple! First time back since Braxton was born. Ryan watched the kids while I went in. We didn't realize they were closing that day so he didn't get a turn to go in, but enjoyed watching around the grounds and talking with the kids.


Brinley's artwork. It was the only picture selected from her year group to be displayed at a local business.


Oh my goodness, I can't get enough of this boy!! Already to cheer for big brother!


My cheering buddy and I :)


Brinley did a great job helping Ryan keep track of stats. Casen told her everyone's name/number. He is so fast to rememeber names.


Casen has really improved his flag-pulling skills!


Just being cute with this little football friend.



CHAMPIONS! This sweet little team was undefeated the whole season!


Makes my heart happy :)


Soccer too! His soccer team won the championship too! Quite the season for this little guy!











I love when kids are just kids! Dressing up and playing together is the best!












Our cul-de-sac  "skate park" :)


Two months old!












Marlee loved looking at Grandpa Charlie's program. She couldn't stop crying before the funeral. She kept saying she wanted and missed Grandpa Charlie. It was so sweet. I know she could feel the strong spirit that was there.



Braxton, Eliza, and Haden



Casen had so much fun playing football with his Dad, uncles, and cousins.





Dale, Quenalee, Anna, and Alex joined us for dinner! It was so much fun to have them! Anna had baby Lydia the next day!


Braxton's blessing day! It was so wonderful to be able to have both sets of grandparents with us.


Just LOVE this sweet family of mine. How did I ever get so lucky??


Feel so blessed to have all of these wonderful priesthood holders in our family and able to be a part of Braxton's blessing.




Baby Lydia! It was so neat to be able to go and see them while we were in AZ - perfect timing!



This picture cracks me up! These girls were having fun talking with their great Aunt Julie!







This girl just loves her Uncle Brian!






The girls set Braxy up on his first date :)










After having a garden growing up I always wanted a garden with my kids, and we finally have the room to have one!



We planted so from containers and some from seeds. It was fun to see the seeds sprout!



These two made a fort and I actually let them sleep in it... and they actually went to sleep! :)


Marlee loves "her" baby :)



Somebody is excited about birthday money!!


Loved this adorable little outfit from our good friend Mollie and her kids Nala and Khalil.



Marlee kept saying she wanted pink milk, so "Braxton" bought her some at the store. She was so excited and gave him a big hug... unfortunately it turns out she doesn't like pink milk :)




Found these two stinkers cruisin'



We met Brinley for lunch on her field trip. It was the first field trip I wasn't able to attend :(



Marlee and Grandpa Schoenberg. So sad to have lost such a sweet, hardworking, faithful man.



Playing catch and nursing :)


Family Prayer :)




I love this picture of my Grandma and Grandpa Schoenberg. They were one happy couple. Can't imagine how much she will miss him. I'm so grateful for eternal families.





We flew standby thanks to Aunt Julie and Uncle Allen. We had to get off the flight half way through and there wasn't another flight til the next day from that city... by some miracle they let us back on the plane. I was so grateful our prayers were answered. And everyone cheered when we got back on :)


The kids were so good!


Sweet Arlee... rhymes with Marlee :)  He was so nice to the kids.


Arizona oranges, doesn't get much better than that!



Homemade orange juice! My fav! Made by my kids makes it even better :)



Finlynn and Braxton. I love getting to see my forever friend Amber everytime we go to AZ!


Ok, just have to say this is my favorite breakfast ever. Homemade wheat mush, with Homemade whole wheat bread with butter and honey, and fresh orange slices. Just feels like home :)


Always wonder what I look like nursing :) someone grabbed this shot!

Brian turned 35 and I was happy to get to bake a cake for him. Katie and I had fun doing it together. It was delicious! He is such a sweet Uncle to my kids. They all love him and loved being there for his special day.
