{4th Of jUlY ~DiXie StyLe}}

{What's up with the blogging world?? It seriously seems to be fading...which makes me sad however I have no room to talk!! I'm so behind! Well to catch up here is our fourth of July weekend. Saturday our ward had a 5k & breakfast which was fun! Yes Mp & I & the jogging stroller ran and it was hott!! Then Sunday my little sis & I took off leaving MP behind:( to go to St. George for the week to spend time with my family.

We loved watching the fireworks from my grandmas patio over looking Dixie!

We loved the new splash pad & carousel!

We loved eating lots of yummy food at Grandmas!

We loved running in 100 degree plus weather on their beautiful trails!

However we really missed Daddy!}

{Before we went to Disneyland MP & some of our helpful neighbors put up the rest of our fence. We officially have our intire backyard fenced so now little miss Roxy & Tman can play outside and me not be super paranoid of cars and wandering away. So here ya have it...the boys working hard and the finished beauty!!! Our yard still has some things we still want to do this summer however things are coming long nicely...next project is to get our backyard grass looking fab!}

{Class of 2014}

{Yay!!!!!!!!! we couldn't be more happy and more excited about this!!!!

MP has been accepted to BYU!!! He will be getting his Masters of Public Administration!! (ha ha MPA is getting his MPA, funny , Huh!?)

We found out the night of the carnival (posted pics of previous post) and checked the mail not expecting to get the letter for a couple more weeks and caught by surprise......it came! He was on Cloud 9 all night!

We are so happy and grateful to begin this new journey. He will start school in the Fall and will go to the Salt lake campus which is close to his work. The program is every Thursday night for 3 Years!! It is going to work out so perfectly! Yes it's going to take him a while but it will so be worth it in the future! I'm so thankful for MP and all the hard work he does for our family and for himself. He is such a motivated great person and I love him to pieces!

Here's to a long 3 years!.............}

{29 ReallY?!}

{Yes, it's true I turned 29 last month(and yes I'm so behind on my blogging that it's killing me!) and I'm starting to feel super old, really?! 1 more year and I'm 30! yikes! but anyways my weekend of celebrations started Thursday when my sisters and I went to lunch and shopping for the afternoon....Friday (my actual bday) I went with my friends and the kiddos to the pool which was Laylas 1st time swimming!! and then that night we went to dinner at the Pizza Factory and then just the girls went shopping (no hubbies, no babies! just the girls). And Saturday, Mp and I took the kids to Syracuse days for a little carnival fun... and then finally Sunday we had our family over for dinner and dessert! I had a great weekend of celebrating..thanks to friends and family and my hubby for a year to remember!}

"tHe ScaRiEst PlAce oN EarTh"!!

{Yes the title for our little Disneyland trip is true...for Trae that is...Mp & I loved it! Since we missed out on both of our family trips this year to Disney World with MPs fam & then Mexico with mine due to little L joining our family we decided it would be fun if we joined our neighbors and went to Disneyland the first week of June.

We made our way to St. George..leaving Layla with my parents for 5 days (which was hard but kinda nice at the same time).We stayed in an amazing condo close to the parks, spent the next day & a half at DL & California Adventure, then the next two days loungin on the beaches of Huntington & Newport and then our last full day was back to the parks. We had such a good time...even though Trae hated most of it & you can see by alot of the pics below...but there were a few times that he loved it too! It was so nice of our friends to invite us, Trae just loves playing with his buddy Maddox. We decided next time we go back we will make sure our kids are old enough to love it.}

YaY!! i finally have a minute to update..things are crazy with two!ha

Layla turned 4 months at the end of May and it just aches my heart that she is getting so big.. literally she is getting big..she weighs just shy an ounce of 14 pounds which puts her in the 70th % tile and she is just barely over 25 inches long which puts her in the 90th % tile!

Layla is seriously such a good, happy baby! She loves to eat.... however she still spits up alot so we have started her on rice cereal (which she loves) and that has helped. She is also a champ at sleeping thru the night...sleeps from about 9pm-9am and waking up around 5 or to eat. Still naps throughout the day which is nice and a couple weeks ago she started rolling over. She is super wiggly and has discovered her voice so now she loves to baby talk and laugh. it's so cute! I feel very blessed to have this little angel in our lives. I love that she is happy & healthy! and seriously look at those cheeks..don't ya just want to eat her up!

{every time I try taking pics of Layla, Trae comes running in for "mine turn mommy!" ha. funny boy! He will be 3 in a month from today! Can you believe it?!Love him too ...such a stud.}
