Just Some Last Moments of Summer

Sophie was done swimming and definitely done posing for pictures!



This is my pouting baby because we wanted to dry off in the sun for a minute and she wanted to leave. I would give anything to hear what is going on in that little head sometimes.....even if she is having terrible thoughts about her mother that won't give in to her whining.




Here is a little happier girl with her sister watching fire works with plenty of oooh's and aaaah's.




Here is us at the fireworks and it shows how terrible we are at taking pictures of ourselves. These really are the best ones we got before Matt would not humor me anymore and pose for pictures.....hmm reminds me of what I went through on our wedding day.





This is Elleigh at her best friend Alyssa's birthday party! They had so much fun and what a great picture of them together!




This is Sophie with her best friend Tori at her birthday party (same day, double parties.) They look so cute together! Tori was giving me that beautiful toothless smile.....I love it!




Aaaah summer days. I will post first day of school pictures soon.

Dancing Girls!

Elleigh doing her splits! She worked really hard and made a company dance team this year! I am pretty impressed that she can do some of this stuff already! What happened to my flexibility!!

Serious business! Lot's of concentration! Got it!

I am cute! Here is my pose!

A little bit of ballet!

Citrine Performance this Sunday!

So my fun Celtic Choir is performing at the Lehi Concert in the Park Series this Sunday the 17th at 7pm. It is held at Wines Park in Lehi.
500 North Center St.Lehi, Utah 84043
It's the park that is kind of by the Legacy Center.

Since this is probably the closest performance to most of my friends and family I wanted to let you know about this one so that you could come!!
I think you can bring chairs or blankets or whatever! We are doing a lot of fun Celtic music as well as some modern stuff too!

So come if you can and enjoy one more fun summer activity before all the crazy fall/school stuff starts!

Happy Anniversary!

Well we made it 8 years!! I can't believe how long we have been married and yet it's hard to remember what life was like without Matty. We also have a hard time remembering what it felt like before kids! Probably more relaxing and we probably got more sleep but life doesn't seem so great without them in it. No matter how chaotic it gets.
Matt and I have made a wonderful life together and added two of the most beautiful wonderful little girls to our family! I am very proud of our marriage because it does take work but we are very happy together and we would rather be with each other than any where else. He makes me laugh and I make him laugh....usually unintentionally. He is the best dad to my children! They love him and squeal "Daddy!" whenever he comes home. He would do anything for them and for me and we all know it. He is a great provider. He works so hard and always has. He finished school while supporting two children. He does whatever he can to keep us afloat and continues to better himself so that he will grow in his career.
He loves our country and I am so proud of his service in the Air Force. He impresses everyone around him with his abilities and work ethic. He reminds me how good our life is when I get down and don't sweat the small stuff. He is motivated and always picks himself up when things have gotten him down. I love him for how he loves me. He tells the girls that he loves their mother so much and that means the world to me and to them. We have the priesthood in our home because of him and I am so grateful for that. It has not always been a blessing in my life and I love him for giving us that gift.
We have a great relationship and I am happier with him now than ever before. This is how it should be and I am glad that things are always improving with us. Happy Anniversary Matty and I love you more than ever!!
