Carousel

Drake and Ava love to ride the carousel at this outlet we like to go to. Drake always has to have the zebra! I rode it with my camera this time. I get motion sickness when I'm spinning in circles, ughh. Don't think the camera helped, my eyes kept having to focus in different directions making it worse.

Happy Friday.

Drake spelling his name in the dirt. He thought it was like the coolest thing ever.


Little miss Ava. I love this picture of her. I love those brown eyes especially against my brown bed frame.

Just Because.

Hiking.

We had such a great time enjoying the beautiful scenery, the company of friends, and the warm weather. I love it. Simple as that. I told Brandon this summer we are exploring a new place every weekend. I NEED to see more of the beautiful places we live near!

Next to Angels

Happy Mother's Day! I love mother's day and not that the spoiling and recognition isn't great, but here's why. As I have become a mother, I have been given a greater appreciation for my mother along with all the others. Motherhood is self-less, hard, but more importantly, joyful. I have never known a love like this until I personally became a mother. I'm grateful to celebrate the role I have as a mother, which I know is greater than anything in this world and is essential to God's plan.

I am honored to be blessed with children.
I am a different person because of them. Better.
I love my own mother in a new way now that I have my own children to care for.
Stronger. More Appreciative.
I am grateful to my Heavenly Father for trusting me in raising these children He has blessed our life with.
Today is a day to be celebrated and gratitude fills my heart.

There is nothing of more importance to me. Nothing that brings me more joy and fullfillment. This I truly believe:

I heard this in one of the talks today in church. It was in a letter from the First Presidency.
“Motherhood,” they wrote, “is near to divinity. It is the highest, holiest service to be assumed by mankind. It places her who honors its holy calling and service next to the angels.”




(Happy Birthday to my little sister, Erin)

EB Rains

This post is about a week or so late. Went over to feed ducks, have a picnic, and enjoy being outside. The kids played forever at the park and there was even a snow cone vendor! I do have to say it is definitely no Snow Shack from St. George. I crave those in the summer.



I swear the ducks were flocking to Ava. Probably because they were her size if not bigger. They kept trying to snatch the whole piece of bread out her hand. We had to scare them away a few times.

Slip n' Slide

I LOVE slip n' slides and anything really that has to do with water!!


Randi cut Ava's hair into a little bob. I love it.

What is this you ask?

Ava's chocolate milk. I guess she thought it would be better off in a drawer full of tupperware. That's my Ava.

Pie Plate

I found this super cute pie plate at the Paris Street Market. It reminds me of the old-fashioned home makers like in my grandmas or great grandmas time.

I love these markets that start coming around this time of year and last into fall. I found a few other cute finds as well, an antique baby scale (I am in love with), and a cream old fashioned suitcase. It's my favorite place to try and find props for photos. I can't wait to use them!!

Change of Plans: The Hop

Hey anyone who is interested. We didn't end up making it over to pump it up last week, because we changed to a different place that is closer. Same price. More open play hours. It's called The Hop. There are a few other people going, so we would love to have any body else join us. Friday, May 8 open play is from 9 am -12 pm. Let me know if you are interested?
