19 Years, and it seem like yesterday...

Brett and I just celebrated our 19th wedding Anniversary!!! June 15th 1991... what a day... Brett and I were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple on a beautiful summer day 19 years ago. (after a long courtship)... Brett and I started dating in 11th grade and you know how teenagers are, well we were worse. We were inseparable and insecure and jealous, (oh wait was that just me?) Luckily Brett was smart enough to go on a mission, and we grew up!!! Finally after he had been home from his mission for a year!!! I twisted his arm and he married me.. Lucky for both of us he realized we were meant to be.

I surprised Brett with a kid free getaway. Brett and I left town on Sunday and headed to Fish Lake. I have never been and Brett went as a kid, so a new spot for both of us. Wow, what a gorgeous place, the Lake the Mountains, and the Pine Trees mixed in with the Aspens was Spectacular!!! More than anything so great to be alone and spend real TIME together. No cell service and Long walks around the Lake. Sleeping in, quiet, peace, calm, relaxation, oh what can i say.... Oh and we fished and 4 wheeler rides and relaxed!!!

Sometimes it is so good to focus on the WIFE part, not just the MOM, neighbor, friend, cleaning lady, cook, etc.

So what a great past 19 years we have had together and here to many many more. I really am the luckiest girl around with the most handsome, kind, fun, easygoing, smokin Hot guy...

Mason is Nine...

Mason is nine, I can hardly stand it my baby is nine. We celebrated with a Bee's Game and a trip to the cabin. Mason has been having some weird health issues, and test to find out what is going on. It all started out with a red right eye. The Pediatrician sent us to an eye doctor and he diagnosed him with uvities, inflammation of the eye. Not a good thing, the doctor was worried about what was going on in his body. Could be JRA (juvenile rheumatoid arthritis) or worse anglyosing spondilities. The tests came back neg. for the JRA, but pos. for the anglyosing spondilities. So now more test... the eye thing is almost better... What a little trooper, he is such a great kid and he makes Brett and I smile everyday. He is a happy, sweet, loving, affectionate, mischievous little boy and We love him and Love all the Fun he brings to our family...

Baseball Baseball Baseball

Super League....
Mason, MVP
Max, Catching.....
The River Cats

we have been seriously been Baseball crazy around here!!! Now I ask, is there anything cuter than little boys in Baseball uniforms? Although with 2 boys everything is twice as nice it is also twice as busy... So 2 games 1 practice a week turns into 4 games 2 practices... and then, Max made the Super League witch added 2 more games... Sigh... To be perfectly honest it has been pure JOY, the schedule is crazy and at times we are watching 2 games at a time, the pay off has been HUGE!!!! Max is a different kid this year. His confidence has grown more than I can explain, he has improved so much, and his love for the game is a great thing. He has had some personal best's... Mason, played PEE WEE this year and is the big shot on his team. He has pitched most of the year had a few triples, caught a few fly balls and LOVES to steal... Being the Mother of thees two boys is one of my greatest joys!!!!

SPRING

Spring...

well this post is overdue, but when spring doesn't show its face around here it is so hard to remember all the things I love about spring... so this year instead of the top ten things I love about Spring, I will just be happy with the couple of days of warm weather we have had since March. Sage took me to get a pedicure for Mothers Day. It gives me hope that I will soon not want to wear socks. Max and Mason have been playing baseball. Max is on the White Socks and Mason Is on the River Cats. I love going to the games and if the weather would warm up and stop raining. I would enjoy it even more. We have 2 games for Max 2 games for Mason 2 practices and Max made a Super league team with 2 games a week... So the rain is a blessing some days... (although at some point we will have to make up all thees rain outs) I'm so ready for the warm weather, and no homework no early to bed early to rise. Flip Flops, capris, playing tennis, long walks, playing outside... Come on spring you can do it... Here are some pic's of the one day it was beautiful this spring....

The results are inn...

Sage is the new V.P of River View Jr. High... To add to the busyness of the past few weeks. Sage ran for Student Body officer. The way they do it is a little different but it all worked out. She actually ran for President, but they have everyone run for president and the top vote getter gets president and the second gets Vice, and so on... So she was very happy with Vice... The funny thing is that way back when her daddy was V.P of our Jr High... So it was meant to be... Sage also told me during the week of the election that she hoped Matt Cower made Pres., I was like, What? Isn't that what you are running for? and she said: yes, but he would be really good! That is my SAGE.. She is about as competitive as a rock... Oh and the best part she is thrilled with V.P....

Sage turns 14

Busy, Busy Month... To think our Sagey is 14....

We have had so much going on around here we haven't yet

celebrated her Birthday....

Or I should say with her Friends....

So I took Sage and 10 of her friends to the cabin Friday...

Thank goodness the weather wasn't too bad, it has been so stormy...

The girls stayed up and played games and watched movies and

went to the haunted cabin and touched the door knob...

Anne Marie came with and helped and we had our own

movie marathon. Have to say we were just like pioneer woman..

we built a fire, we got the DVD player going and dint get stuck in the mud...

FUN time with 14 year old girls... no cell phones no texting no drama...

happy birthday brettie

Although the day has come and gone without much fan fare this year, I want you to know how special you are to our family. Unfortunately Brett's birthday fell in the middle of Max and Masons recovery from their tonsillectomies. SO the day was spent going to a few of Brett's favorite spots, Plaza cycle, Granato's, and IFA.. The Best part of the day was the Prime Rib dinner Sage and I cooked for him.
