Mother's Day!

Mother's Day was perfect. Nice slow morning, then head to church at 10:30. First Ryan gave Marlee a beautiful blessing in my home ward. Marlee is such a sweet little girl, just priceless in every way. She did great during her blessing and I loved having my Dad, brothers, Grandpa, Uncles, and a couple cousins in the circle. It was the perfect Mother's Day gift. Then Jess gave a wonderful farewell talk on conversion through the Holy Ghost. Afterward we went back to Mom and Dad's and had a yummy dinner and enjoyed the beautiful weather and company of family. It was one of those perfect days when you just remember what's important.

Casen had a blast playing basketball with Landon, he actually made some really good shots!

Go Case!

Yeah, he was pretty proud when he made it :)

Family of five... crazy! I sure feel lucky!


Mom, Dad, Me, Marlee, Ryan and Grandma Judy... she is known for the flower in her hair :)


The kiddos with Uncle Brett


Jess and Jenn, I love my sisters... and Madeline and Brooklyn too who aren't in the pic :)

Aunt Jess and Marlee, too cute

Brooklyn LOVES babies! Which is nice for us :) Her and miss Marlee had a lot of quality time together!

Wouldn't be an AZ trip with out getting thrown in the air by Uncle Brian


Andrei was really cute with Marlee, it was fun to see him playing with her.



Jenn took these beautiful pictures of Marlee in her blessing dress for me!

I love this one :)


Not my favorite picture of us, but it was Mother's day so we had to have a Mommy-daughter picture!


Jenn made this amazing family tree for my Mom!



Casen wanted to see me do a back-flip, so despite being in a skirt I gave it a shot... and yes, I did land it! Casen was the perfect audience :)



Brinley and the other kids had a lot of fun playing on this slide... it is almost 25 years old! My parents gave it to use for Christmas when I was 2!


Nursing party with Clarissa!

Brian and Casen :)

All of us kids pitched in a made this "medicine for motherhood" bucket, with fun little treats and sayings for Mom to use when the stresses of motherhood come! It was a lot of fun putting it together and she really liked it.

Sorting her spoils :) She had sent a couple emails letting us know she has had to break it open!



Everyone watching Marlee's birth slide show


These two girls had a lot of fun playing tether ball together. I used to love this game!


Marlee Jane born Feb 22nd and Haley Elizabeth born Feb. 11th. I am so excited about having these cute little girls so close in age and I just know they will be best cousins! :)
