Tylie's Graduation

Tylie and Mrs. Francie

This day was bittersweet. I was so emotional but not because my baby was growing up and moving onto kindergarten etc... it was because she was incredibly difficult! I had to drag her in screaming and crying while watching all the other kids sitting in their seats with their cute graduation hats on. Obviously my pictures don't capture these moments and maybe that's a good thing. She was happy by the end and I was happy to get through one more morning with this crazy girl!

Way to go Tylie!

I was dreading kindergarten just knowing how hard it was to get her to preschool three days a week but miraculously she has been so good lately. I feel blessed for any day that Tylie wakes up happy!

Tylie had so much fun and especially loved the outfits and makeup :)

4th of July

For the fourth this year we went to Sacramento for a reunion on my mom's side...

Cousin Courtney and Brynn

We went kayaking down the river which was so beautiful!

I tried to take Brynn with me but she wasn't having the life vest!

Girl time getting the pedis :)

I didn't get pictures but we went to a rodeo, went on a hike and sat by the pool all weekend. Some went river rafting but I opted out because of my sore back. All in all it was a great fourth and such a fun weekend with the fam!

Newport Beach

I came across this video and it cracked me up!

Better late then never...

Man how times flies! More than half the year is over and I haven't blogged this year at all!! Time for some catching up...

Clear back to Valentines Day! I just have to show these cute dolls my mom made the girls! They just happened to exactly match each girl that morning too :)

On to Easter...

My sister came into town and Saturday we hiked Camelback then ate at La Grande Orange (highly recommend!) I had the best crepes and strawberries in my life! The hike was super fun too!

The girls don't have too much competition, being the only grandkids, so they get a lot of candy!

Women's Conference...

In April I got to go to Women's Conference with my girl friends from high school. It was so much fun reuniting!

Kinzi, Lynn, Regan, Kristen, Marci, Me

I did bring little miss Brynn along but my wonderful sister offered to watch her the whole weekend for me! They became best buds!

Brynn in her sweater Aunt Rachel got her

Rachel took Brynn to the Dinosaur Museum, the park, got her some new clothes, out to eat etc... Brynn even started calling her Mama!

The three pregers!

Texas Roadhouse mmmm

When's our next trip girls?!

It's about time I update...

So I am a few months behind on blogging! Things are settling down a bit. After searching for about four months we finally found our house in east Mesa. The move was crazy and stressful. From not having the key to the new house and leaving our stuff in the van all weekend, then getting the key and Dallas leaving that day to go out of town for work, and on and on but I am so thrilled that is all over and we are moved! In the midst of all that Dallas started a new job and we have been doing projects on the house constantly. Tylie started her new preschool which is just a couple houses down and Brynn has become such a mama's girl! I hope I find my drive to get back to blogging. I guess I should start where I left off, sorry no one cares about Christmas in April!

The biggest surprise for Christmas was Tylie getting a violin from Minnie and Papa!

It was so cute, she knew right what to do with it.

Even knew to bow!

Christmas Sunday

Christmas Eve we always get to open our PJ's

Auntie Rachel and the girls Christmas morning

We gave my mom a red wagon. That's what she wanted! :)

That's all the pictures I have but on Christmas evening we went out to dinner with the Haught's to Benihana's and Christmas morning we got to talk to Chad on his mission. He sounded so good and gave us such a nice Christmas message that brought us all to tears.
