My New LOVE!!!

So I have found something that I absolutely LOVE to do!! I made Kolsen a birthday cake for his 1st Birthday and it was a horrible mess with a lot of tears. So I thought for his birthday this year I would try again. I can't tell you how much fun I had doing it. I started by making everything from scratch which ended up being so much better. I had a blast doing it and it turned out pretty cute. I had so much fun that I wanted to make another one and try some different techniques. So I thought since Rachel is family and I could screw up her cake and she wouldn't care I would make one for her Graduation. I tried homemade fondant and learned how to work with that. There were a few rough points that Jason helped me relax through but all in all it was fun and turned out really cute! So on to cake decorating classes!!!

The disaster of a cake. Good thing he was only 1

Kolsen's 4th birthday cake. What a difference!!

Rachel's Grad Cake

Our last Graduation!!!

This a happy Sad kind of Moment.

The Happy: Rachel Graduated!!! Yeah! We are so proud of her and what an amazing person she has become. She is the Joy of our family and is always happy and giggling about something. I LOVE you Rachel and am so proud of all that you have accomplished.

The Sad: That was our last Graduation. She was the baby of my family and all of Jason's siblings are older so that is the last family graduation we will attend until our kids are old enough. (Weird thought)... It is weird that we are all growing up and moving on to the next part of our lives. Good Luck Rachel and We wish you all the best as you embark on your new adventures of College and life after good old High school.

Isn't she BEAUTIFUL!!








Ignore the ridiculous height difference! Normally it isn't bad because she wears flats and I always have heels, but we switched today!!


Waiting for everyone to be seated


The pure Excitement that she is DONE!!!




Her boyfriend Brian that we all LOVE!!!



All the Girls!!! Love you guys!!

I can't believe your 4

So My little boy turned 4 last month. I know I am a little late, but still wanted to do a post on him. I LOVE this little guy with all my heart. He has brought so much joy into our lives from the moment he arrived! He is so sweet, caring, energetic, happy, smart, and he picks up on the little details just like his dad. I am so thankful that he is ours and love that I have him forever! I love you kolsen and Happy Birthday!

Callie is 2

Our little Callie is 2. She has been such a blessing in our life. She has been a stubborn thing from the get go but we are so grateful for every moment we get to spend with her. She has grown into such a happy and loving little girl. She is very spirited and loves to be loud. She hates dresses and loves to be dirty. She puts herself in time out and will tell us when she is ready to be nice and get up. We love her so much. Here she is through her 2 years:

Today The poor thing didn't have a very big birthday this year. IT was a crazy week and a long day so she is kind of a mess but she is still a cutie!

Spirit Week

So Kolsen had spirit week last week. We only did a few days but the one's we did were pretty fun!




Turesday: Crazy hat day (We forgot!)


Wednesday: Wacky day (Wear wacky clothes)






Thursday: Crazy Hair Day









As soon as Kolsen was done Callie jumped up in the chair and said "me blue too" about 1000 times so we let her do it too.






Friday: School color day:

Happy Birthday...Happy Easter..General Conference

We had a very busy day on Sunday April 4th. It was Easter, Conference, Callie's Birthday and we celebrated mine because it was the next day. Talk about crazy!! We had a lot of fun and really enjoyed spending time with our families! Here was our adventure!













I am so grateful to have Callie in our life. She is such a fun and loving little girl. She is as shy as ever but she is so sweet when she does open up it is all worth it! We love you Callie and are so glad that you came to our family!

Spring Break!!!

We went to the zoo with my family while Kolsen was out of school. We had a blast and the kids had a ton of fun seeing all of the animals. Kolsen was so excited to go, that he went in his closet and picked this shirt out to wear so he could find all the animals while we were there. He is so funny! This picture of him with his ticket says it all!!! Here are all the kids at the start of our adventure. As you can see Callie was very mad that she couldn't walk and had to sit in a stroller.






















Jessica I can't see these without thinking of you!!!









It was such a fun day and we found all of the animals on Kolsen's shirt so he was happy! Thanks mom and dad for the fun trip!!!
