Noah Turns 5!!

Sunday night before Noah's birthday, we had some cake and icecream with the family for a little pre celebration.

Then he started his day off with his first day of golf camp and boy was he ready! This boy is going to be a great little golfer one day, he's already got quite the swing. He is his daddys boy alright. He was the only one that got the ball in the hole on the putting competiton, and he won some cool golf balls (and might I add he was the youngest by 2-4 years from the rest of the group). Go Noah!!

This is serious stuff...

Paisley and Ella were matching on his birthday so they insisted I take a picture of them together.

That afternoon we took Noah and his friends to Jack and Jills Bowling Alley for a super fun party where they played Lazer Tag, ate pizza, rootbeer, and cake, and played in the arcade forever!

I can't believe my sweet boy is already 5! He is the best. I loved every minute of his special day.

Happy 4th of July!

It was a day packed with lots of fun things this year! First, we took the kids up AF Canyon for a good hike. We set off in search for an old cabin, Ryan and I found on a trail once, but after WAY longer then we planned, we couldn't find it. It was still great fun though, and so beautiful. The kids were troopers!!

Just hanging out on a rock with my hands in my pockets. Haha, she cracks me up!

Later that afternoon, we had a BBQ with everyone before heading out to the stadium of fire to see Kelly Clarkson and Carly Rae Jeppson. It was sooooo fun! Loved Carly Rae almost more then Kelly! Both were unreal performers, and we loved every minute of it. I might of embarassed the family a little with my dancing and singing...oh well!

Festive hair do.

Everyone but Jordan and Alexis were there, due to Alexis being close to having her baby!

A little PLAY-DOH summer morning fun...

Pre 4th of July Celebrations!

It was so much fun hanging in the old Lehi hood! Thanks to the Shipleys for hosting such a great party!! Snow cones, fireworks, and good friends...what more could you ask for!

Swimming Day with the friends!

This was just the girls. Add 7 boys and 2 sleeping babies, and that totaled our kids that day. WHEW!

Fun times!

Paisley Turns 7!

Paisley has told me several times throughout the year that she really wanted a surprise party. I told her she had to stop telling me that or else she wouldn't ever be surprised. So, I asked her this year if she would rather have $100 to go and spend any where she wanted, or have a big party. She jumped on the $100 idea. I was excited about it too! We were going to have a great day shopping!

Jaylynn was in town that morning, so she got to shop with us for a little while. The girls had the time of their lives at Justice, shopping for jewelry, clothes, and toys.

Paisley bought friendship necklaces for them.

Then we headed off to get a pedicure, and some lunch, just the two of us.

And right when she thought the fun was over, I pulled into the driveway, blindfolded her, and picked up her friends and cousins. She had no idea what was going on, but loved every minute of it. We got snow cones and played in the park. It was a simple party, but still lots of fun with the big surprise.
