Photo shoot in Old Town

A friend of ours took some pictures of the girls last night. If I could I would have posted every picture she took! She did such an amazing job! And it helps a little that my kids are GORGEOUS! (I'm the mom, I can say that.) Let me know if you need a photographer. I know a great one!

My Mom

Written and illustrated By Olivia Laws (HER ANSWERS IN CAPS)

My mom's favorite food is POSTU (Pasta) but she doesn't like FISH.

The thing my Mom likes to do for fun is GO TO DISNEELAND.

If Mom could have one wish come true, she would wish for A CLEEN HOUS.

I hope my Mommy always knows FOR ME TO BE GOOD. (Livi is very concerned with always doing the right thing.)

My mommy looks funny when she HAS A SILLY FACE but I know she is really mad when she SCREEMS. (I really don't "screem" that much! I promise!)

She spends most of her time AT THE CUMPYOOTR. (I was SO wishing she had said something like, "playing with me" or "doing homework with me" or "making me food" etc.... Oh well!)


This was from a little book she put together at school for Mother's Day. I know she loves me and I think I am a good mom. However, it is obvious, I need to spend less time on the computer and need to stop screaming when I'm mad. :) She is right though, I do LOVE a "cleen" house and I do LOVE "disneeland".
Today I went to a Mother's Day party at school. The kindergarten put together a spa-day for us mommies. They did our nails, hair, make-up, and fed us yummy snacks. It was adorable and so sweet.


There is nothing I ever wanted more in my life than to be a wife and mother. Truly, it was all I ever REALLY wanted in life. Call me old fashioned. I LOVE being a mom. My kids are my whole world and when I sneak into their rooms at night and check on them, and kiss their little cheeks, and wrap them in their blankies, I cry and then I hit my knees and thank my Heavenly Father for such a blessing and gift.

T-boy is turning ONE!

My brother Brady and, his wife, Megan came down for the weekend so we made a very quick trip down to my parents house on Saturday to celebrate, only a few days early, this little guy's FIRST birthday! It was a very fun day and I must say I just love this kid! He's sweet and calm and just so YUMMY! I would like one just like him, PA-lease!
Happy FIRST Birthday little man.
You are so loved!

Practice run...

We took the girls camping a few weeks ago but neglected to take our camera! A few weeks before that DuVall taught the girls how to put up the tent and then they slept in the tent that night in the backyard. I was nice and cozy in my bed, inside. They did pretty great until about 2am when it got just too cold to handle. I was having a hard time sleeping without my man and baby chicks inside so when they came creeping up the stairs at 2am I was happy.
The camping trip a few weeks later was so much fun. They had electricity and we brought a space heater! We all slept great! And now the girls know how to put up a tent, thanks to the coolest Dad ever!

Here are some pics from the "practice run"...

My Cousin's Salt Lake Wedding...


Congrats to Kat and Nick! Thank you for making us a part of your special day!

We took a very QUICK trip to Utah for my cousin's wedding this weekend. It was a beautiful wedding and so wonderful to be with family. And Temple Square in springtime is GLORIOUS, even in the rain!

(I am so sorry I didn't have time to visit with more family and friends!)
