18 th wedding anniversary

Today is our 18th Wedding Anniversary....Besides the fact that Brett has a temperature of 103 and has been sick for the past three days it is still a great day. I cant believe it has been 18 years!!!! Brett is an amazing husband and is always making more deposits than withdrawals in our marriage...My favorite part about being married is that I am married to my best friend, who loves me for who I am, loves that I am feisty, loves me good and bad... I love that Brett makes me want to be a better person and that I am better because of him. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!

Masons Big week

Our baby had his 8Th birthday this week and was Baptized on Saturday. Mason is such a great part of our family, he makes me smile everyday and has too many good Qualities to list them all... Here's just a few, He is smart, very smart but doesn't have to be perfect like Sage and Max... Grades don't motivate him. He has a heart of gold and is so kind to others, He loves to cuddle and is by far the most affectionate kid in the family, He is funny and silly, He has the best cowlick you've ever seen, he is confident and can stand up for himself.

This week we celebrated his Birthday with a big family party at our house and a friend party at BOONDOCKS, Brett baptized him on Saturday and it was so special. Mason lucked out and had his own Baptism. His Primary teacher (josh) spoke and Leslie played the violin and Nicalee spoke and Sage and Max said the prayers. I am so proud of him he is such a good boy. Here are some of the Pics.

mother daughter weekend

This weekend was so much fun. Sage had a dance convention and competition in Layton. So we had a little get away... The dances were amazing and the teachers were so positive and inspiring. Sage worked her little fanny off. They had some fun too, swimming and playing in the Hotel. I think she found muscles she didn't know she had!!! This week she is speaking at the awards assembly, running for 8th grade class President and performing at Kingsbury Hall. When will life slow down?
