In one week

It's just gonna be me and lil d, cuz big D is ditching us and going to kindergarten...good thing we love eachother lots:)

This is why

we are always late for church

11

11 years ago today I made the best decision I will ever make. I'm so glad at 19 I was smart enough to know that this guy is perfect for me in every way. I love you Ryan, Happy 11:)

30

30 isn't so bad. I got spoiled rotten on my first day as a 30 year old. I spent the morning getting loves from these 2 and then Ryan whisked my away for a little Stay cation in Scottsdale.

We had to hit Cafe rio on the way, there really is nothing better.

Matt was really excited to give me this shirt, Ryan almost passed out when I opened it...I think that was the plan. This year I'm going to be a cougar fan:)

We stayed at the Princess, it was amazing

We hit my favorite spot for dinner

Chelsea's Kitchen

And Ryan outdid himself by calling the chef and having him whip up my favorite dessert in the world special for me. It got taken off the menu 2 years ago, so it was a huge deal for them to make it. I love my sweet Ryan

Then we got a little surprise when we saw that Terrance Howard was staying at the resort we were at. We got a little giddy and FINALLY got up the nerve to ask him if we could get a picture with him. If you can't tell by the pic...I was a little nervous:)

I think 30 is going to be a good year!

A few highlights: Ryans drawing on his envelope, frozen lemonade, water, double water, Jamie's wrapping paper and cutest necklace and dress, byu football, bathtub water, 3 HOUR TOUR , chocolate destruction the cake, chocolate destruction the person, hydrogen peroxide, Matt not minding the heat anymore, tough love, b12, chicken nuggets, 10k, baby wanted lemons, sleepy Ryan, which shoulder, good egg, keep on trucking, THE BEST, Sarah the waitress, Ra crazy waitress, rain falling, a good nights sleep

Happy 30th Mary

I know, I can't believe she is 30 today. Here are just a few of my favorite pics.

This one is priceless. Mary has always had a sense of fashion.

She was a little scared to have boys. To be honest, so was I. But now, To see Mary with her boys and see how much she loves them makes me so proud to be her husband.


She is the family favorite

Not to mention the best wife.

Happy Birthday Mary. I love you!

4th of July weekend/ Disneyland

We just got back from a little trip to Cali, we escaped the heat with our buddies the Browns and Churches for some 4th of July fun:)

This picture is way out of order but oh well:)

Big D knows how to work it...get the ladies to push him on a swing

This is a pic of some of us who got kicked out of Lego land, while Ben entertained and maybe lost one for a little while inside:)

Dylan has a little bit of a crush on Paisley...pretty much everyone does though, so he has some competition.

Dilly took some naps on the beach, which I loved:)

The Churches

Dylan got a little sandy and kept trying to eat sand...I blame it on PICA

These two were inseparable as usual

We tried to get a family photo and the kids ran away

Dallas and Chloe

The gals and Max

Dilly taking another nappy schmappy

football

the kids minus the sleeping babies

Dallas was a boogie boarding pro, he caught waves all day long

again with the inseparables

Good thing I have my sand covered monkey to hang with

Best buds

more football

The Browns, right before a yummy dinner, no one got any breadsticks because Dylan ate them all and poor Shauni had to listen to ELmo.

We spent the 4th in Coranado

On our way home we hit Disneyland. It was so fun, the boys are at the perfect age and were in heaven the whole time. Dylan got us hooked up with a pass that let us skip all the lines and get right on every ride. It was the perfect day.

Dylan after his disneyland nap

the happiest place on earth is an understatement

Big D rode the Indiana jones ride twice, I have never seen him so happy and excited in my life.

Dylans nap, so much fun can wear a kid out

a little blury but it shows Micky:)

and the whole day at Disney land these two got to ride around in the Loars special pink stroller. We would have died without this thing. Real men can rock pink:)
