mothers day

It was the cutest thing ever. 

Kali and I were in Walmart the day before Mother's Day.

Kali told me that she wished she was older.

I asked her why in the world would she want to be older.

She replied, "so I could surprise you with flowers and chocolates for Mother's Day."

It just melted my heart.

So, of course I let her pick out some chocolates and flowers for me while I closed my eyes;)

She picked out my favorite chocolates all on her own,

I helped guide her to my favorite flowers;)

THANKS KALI

I LOVE YOU!

easter weekend

 We spent Easter weekend in Utah County.

Watching Michael play soccer,

 playing a little soccer ourselves.

 hanging out with forever friends,  

and forever family.

My cousin Sherri put on an awesome Easter egg hunt.

and I surprised Aaron with a little birthday/graduation party.

It was a perfect weekend.

princess party

Kali had a great time a Belle's birthday party

dancing, making tiara's and choosing a flower to plant.

She was a little nervous at first since she only had met a few of these girls

and she isn't really into princess stuff anymore,

(that was so 2 years ago for her;)

But in the end, she had a fabulous time

and did not want to leave.

She chose a sunflower seed for her plant and I have been amazed at how well it has grown.

Kali does such a good job at remembering to water her sunflower every day.

Williams Party of 3 1/2

We have had a couple fabulous visits from the Williams family.

We visited the Logan Temple.  

I absolutely love how it is up on a hill.

At night time when you are driving down

main street, it is breath taking.

Since it is up on a hill it has a large grassy area in front of the temple

and as a child there is only one thing you want to do

when you see a grassy hill.

grab your friends and...

roll down it.

Several times, until your clothes are good and grass stained.

 Next stop Gossner's, we had to sample the cheese, ice cream and milk.

They really only let you sample the cheese, and milk you have to buy the ice cream.

It is not the

Country Mercantile, but it is pretty tasty stuff.

Last stop Adams Park.

This park is 3 blocks from our house

so we are here ALOT.

 Kids just having a fun time playing together, 

Kali was the mommy and Krew and Jo Jo were her babies.

While I was photography this hot prego momma ...

D-rock and the kiddos explored the wilderness

Jo Jo looked so stinkin cute, as always.

Also while they visited we tried out the local hawaiian spot "Pounders."

It brought back a lot of memories as we listened to Hawaiian music and

ate some ono grinds:)

cousins

My brother Brandon came with two of his boys,
Michael and Jayce in April when we first moved to Logan
 and they had a good time in the snow. 

Kali was so proud of the snowball that Michael helped her roll.  

It got pretty big.

 Brandon and Veronica came out a month later and the scenery had changed a little.

Beautiful weather and dirt play.

The kids have loved being closer to their cousins.

cleats

Guess who gets to wear these bad boys starting June 1st.

The one and only Kali Jones!

We are so excited for her to start t-ball.

She is super fast and has a killer hit.

Aaron was so excited to take her to the store and pick out her very first cleats.

LOVE THEM.
