Graduation and Cedar Friends

 My brother, Justin, did it! He graduated from college! And we were lucky enough to be able to attend the blessed event.

 
Justin we are so proud of you and your huge accomplishment! We can't wait to see what is in store for you!

We were also super excited to be able to go see all our friends and stay a few days with them.

A night at the Munks is always super fun! Especially when the Burnett's come over. Tonight we just took selfies.

 
 
 
 

And while we did that, the kids did this:

 
And the hubby's were sweet enough to do this:

We did get a really good one eventually. Ray just completes this picture in every way possible. Thanks for the perfect weekend!!

But the best part about the whole trip, was that I was able to spend the whole time with this hunk.

Mady's Dance Recital

We had Mady's first dance recital and goodness, she did amazing!

She had loved going to dance and loves to come home and show us everything she has learned.

My sister, Tiffany, also takes dance lessons from Mady's teacher. She did such an amazing job as well.

I don't really have any pictures of Mady dancing because we just took video. But we did take pictures of this cute little man, who sat through the recital like a champ!


And check out this picture. Just look at that face! Oh man I just love it.

We are so proud of this girl and have loved watching her grow into the beautiful sweet girl she is becoming. We love you Mady!

4 Months and Counting

Its so crazy to believe that my little man is 4 months old now. Where has time gone??

Carson has been quite the little needy man. We still have yet to sleep more than 4 hours at night with this guy. To be frank, its just hard to do anything with this little man. 

But this face makes it all worth it. 

For work, I have taken him to Mady's preschool/daycare that is put on by Snow College. They do such a great job. Mady loves it, but Carson....well he just screams for a better part of day.

I go over every 3-4 hours to feed him or just when they call so I can help him calm down. He's quite the Momma's boy, which I don't mind a bit. I just feel bad for when I need people to watch him. 

Thank goodness I work with amazing people who are super understanding and let me work from home when I need. 

Even though it took us almost 2 years to get this little boy, I think God knew that we needed 3.5 years in between Mady and Carson. 

Mady has been such a big help to Ray and I . 

She loves Carson so much and is always willing to help me out when I need it. 

Its nice to have her be so independent and older so that I can give Carson the attention he requires. 

"Mom, he loves me so much. But I'm not his favorite because my boobies don't have milk."

I'm also super grateful for this man crush of mine. He has been so helpful and patient in dealing with all our longs nights and scream filled days. I'm not sure what I would do without him. 

I guess with how high maintenance this little boy is, we can definietly say he is my son. Haha and if that doesn't do it, this picture of me and him next to each other will. ;)

Easter!

We had so much fun during Easter this year. We celebrated at the Wayman's again this year. As soon as we got there, we all gathered around the table to color eggs.


Mady thought this was the best thing ever.

She loved making her eggs look "oh so beautiful."

She did really good being patient and waiting till her eggs were dyed and dried.

And my sister Breanne took her coloring real seriously. Her eggs turned out great, along with Tiffany's!

The Easter Bunny sure makes things interesting for us when we wake up in the morning to find our baskets. Instead of hiding them inside, they are hidden outside and in the most craziest of places! Here is Tiffany trying to get her's down from one of the trees in our yard.

And here is Breanne, getting her's down for another tree.

Mady and I went searching for her basket. Looking in all the places we thought it could be.

Nope not in the sandbox....

"Where could it be?" Mady kept asking.

Maybe it's in the castle....

Hmmmm.....

"Mommy, I found it! Look I found it!"

She was beyond excited to find the Easter Bunny's basket and one that Grandma Wayman had given both her and Carson.

Just look at that face! She was just too happy.

We were really happy that the Easter Bunny brought Mady some awesome books and Doc McStuffin' shoes! And Grandma gave us sandbox toys!

After we found our baskets, we raced over to Ephraim's candy egg hunt at the baseball fields. Mady loved finding the candy and putting them in her bucket.

She was even sweet in showing other kids where candy was.

And of course we needed a picture with the pretend Easter Bunny!

Mady and Breanne showing off their buckets of candy from the hunt.

We then packed a lunch, grabbed our colored eggs, and headed out to Palisade Lake.

The kids had fun playing in the water. I thought it was way to cold, but apparently it was just fine for them!

Even Mady thought it was just right.

Mady was really excited to roll her eggs down the hill. We even found an old gutter so help them down the hill.

Ray and I just had fun watching Mady and the kids have a blast rolling their eggs and playing at the Lake. Its funny how its usually the little things in life that make you the happiest.
