Summer is in the air!!

Well we have been really busy the last few weeks but we have been busy having fun so I guess it has been a good thing. It was Desiree's birthday on the 7th so we headed to St. George for dinner. We left a little early and took the girls to this park..I guess that is what you would call it. Anyways it has fountains the kids can play in and also these little rivers and waterfalls. It was 95 degrees that day so it was a great day to cool off and have some fun. The girls loved it!! Of course we had to eat at Olive Garden while we were there to make Bay and Brin happy. Then on Saturday we headed to Mesquite. The girls went and got a pedicure and manicure which was heaven for me. Those of you that know me know I love getting my feet done up. It was also Patti's company party at the city pool so we went and swam Saturday afternoon. It was a blast! Sunday we just relaxed for Mother's day. After church Ryan and the girls made me waffles for breakfast. My favorite! But for the most part of the day we just sat around and relaxed. Ryan had training up in Salt Lake all this week so he left Sunday night and will be home Friday. So I have been a single mom all week! I have great kids so it has not been to bad other than we miss him like crazy. We are headed up to Logan next weekend again and this time Ryan is coming with us so it should be a lot of fun. I hope you all had a wonderful mothers day and I am so grateful for my mom and mom-in-law! They are both amazing women. Thanks mom for always being there for me through thick and thin! You are not only an amazing mom but one of my best friends! Love and miss ya lots!

Braxton's Blessing

My heart is so full of gratitude to my Father in Heaven. I don't mean to get all churchy on you but I have had such a wonderful weekend and want to share my feelings. We blessed Braxton on Sunday and it made me reflect back on the road of getting him here. It was a rough one as most of you know. I am so grateful for the power of prayer and for all of you that prayed for us during that time. I can't imagine not having his special spirit in our home. We love him so much and he can always make us smile. The day went great and he behaved perfectly during his blessing. Ryan did such an amazing job and my kids are so lucky to have such a great dad! My mom and dad were able to come down and spend the weekend with us and it was so much fun. It is the first time my dad has been able to come so it really meant a lot to me to have them here. I wish my sister's and their families could have been there but I know they were thinking about us even though they were not able to come. Aaron was at a wedding in California so we missed him too. Ryan's parents, sister, and grandparents were also there to support us. It was such a great day! Of course Braxton looked as handsome as ever and the girls were so proud of their little brother. I am one of the luckiest people in the world to have such amazing kids and husband. I love my family(even my in-laws)and I am so grateful for their love and support in my life.
