14 years ago on a rainy, warm, HUMID day in Dallas, TX 

this 8lb 1oz, blonde hair, blue-eyed boy 

just about killed his Momma getting here...

My first hug with my baby boy.....

 My hug today with that same baby...gosh I love this kid

He had a party on Sunday with the Boyle family...scored $110 for a Longboard!

He was SO MAD on his 5th Birthday because it snowed!

He just wanted to drive his hummer around!

He was so CUTE! 

 This year he WANTED snow on his birthday so he can use his season pass to Snowbasin!

And yes he LOVED the BYU wrapping paper...he's going there no questions asked!

T

.

I know he loves me and I love him to the moon and back...

Happy Birthday Huntie!

You'll be driving next year! UGGGG!

Our annual pumpkin picking day...Hunter so happy to get a pic with his Mom!

 Sydney LOVES being right next to me and being in lots of pictures!

We were matchy, matchy with our skinny jeans and boots!

 This kid...mmmm...

Seriously the cutest girl!

 Again Hunter not happy...Sydney super happy!

 By far the BIGGEST pumpkins we've have ever gotten!

Good thing we got a new Subi that will hold all of them!

 This is how we ended our excursion...poor lil Sydney!

I got to go on Sydney's fieldtrip to Hardware Ranch...a science field trip! 

Here we are on the bus...I was very happy not to drive!

 Sydney's AWESOME teacher Mr. Jeff's inspecting bugs we had just waded through freezing water to catch!

 She LOVED the whole field trip...all the hiking and dirt! 

 It was FREEZING that day but finally warmed up a bit...this girl sure does love her Mommy!

 She HAD to wear her cowgirl boots! 

 This is what happened ALL DAY and I am unhappy about it!
There were always 5-8 boys trailing behind Sydney...but hey that's the star quarterback next to her!

And he told me he has a crush on her...mmmmm

 She slept all the way home on the bus on my lap...such a sweet girl:)

 And I got to watch this the whole ride home...

I rarely get to see any views as I am ALWAYS the driver!

My baby boy is a teenager and is acting like one now...

..

 This is my lil Sweetheart...

she just doesn't want Mom to go to work everyday...

she wants her Mom home...

I want to be home too Sis...

 We are having some great times lately too...

Sydney has the BEST friends...and I love them!

We took Kaitlyn to the cornmaze with us and they loved it!

 I don't love them but I love being with my babies!

I had a City Council Meeting that night (talk about a discouraging position) so I had to wear my AWESOME shirt with my name on it!

I love this lil girl...

 This lil boy is getting as tall as me...

He wants to go to BYU and I want him to go there too...

I'm a BYU fan at heart...

He brought home STRAIGHT A's so far and I am SUPER proud...

Harvest of Faith Celebration...

Tonight was an answer to my prayers....this scripture was given on the big screen tonight at the Harvest of Faith Celebration

 This is my son...my first born...he is his Mommy...personality and all...

I couldn't be more proud of him....

Here he is at 6:00AM...so excited for the Harvest of Faith Celebration performance for the Brigham City Temple dedication weekend....

.

 Over 3,000 kids participated and tickets were very limited so I was so blessed to be able to go tonight

It was my worst nightmare...HUGE crowd and lines to get in but I waited...it was worth the wait!

 This is Elder L. Tom Perry and Elder Russell M Nelson talking to the youth...and it was amazing!

They were so inspirational...I loved listening to them!

 The 3,000 youth opening the program in their Temple T-Shirts...it was such a sight!

 There were stakes from Box Elder County and Oneida County in Idaho which is the official Temple District of the Brigham City Temple. 

Each Stake had a themed performance...Early Indian Settlers, Danish Settlers to Mantua, Mexican Migrant Workers, Mormon Pioneers below

The meeting of the Railroads at Promontory, The Bird Refuge, ATK Industries, The Depression Era...I think I missed 2 or 3 numbers...it was quite a night of entertainment!

And here are our kids from the Perry/Willard Stake!

We are representing Agriculture and the Famous Fruit Highway...we had the most kids and they looked AWESOME!!!

This was the best pic I could get of Hunter in the back of course!

 It was so awesome to see and hopefully I can upload some of the video I took!

 The ending number were all the kids dressed as "Missionaries" singing "I Love to See the Temple"...the tears came down my face...

 It was an AMAZING sight to see the bright spirits of all these youth...my spirit was lifted...

After my Mom's 42nd Chemo treatment and my own illness...

I am loving every minute of my life...no matter what!

These are my Sunshines I wake up to every morning...and I do LOVE it!

 This is definitely the calm before the storm every morning but I love IT!

Hunter had a game Saturday and Sydney had her Parade Performance....

I HATE having to choose between them!

 I took my Cutest Sydney to her Peach Days Parade...she is quite the Sassy Girl! 

 She was SO excited for her new "Hammer Pants" as I call them!

She is seriously the cutest girl ever...

 I'm so proud of how talented and driven both my kids have been.

We have had lots of homework this year and it is overwhelming me to get home at 9:00pm some nights and still have an hour of homework but we get it done!

 They danced behind the "Beat Bus" and rocked it!

They had to "dance" down a 2 Mile HOT parade but they loved it!

 Peach Days is my LEAST favorite thing to attend but we had the parade in the morning and then Sydney had to perform on Stage that evening...it was exhausting to me!

Don't they look so thrilled that I made them have their picture together!

 After her performance we just had to go partake of the festivities down town....

Sydney had the perfect tshirt to wear..."Life Is Peachy" it says...and she insisted I wear a matching shirt...kinda

She did another rock wall and scaled right to the top...

I was finally so exhausted I couldn't keep my eyes open so we went home...

Sydney literally was eating licorice while asleep...

It was an exhausting week...but it started all again today...

Party Rockers!

How do you video a Dancer in a Parade? 

Well here are my couple of attempts....

1st Day of School 2012

 My Hunter and My Sydney went back to school on Tuesday...and I'm sad...I love them home with me!

Even worse they are getting to OLD! 

Hunter is in 8th Grade this year at Box Elder Middle School and Sydney is in 4th grade at Three Mile Creek...When did they get so big? Did I blink? 

Sydney is catching up to her big bro in height...shhhh don't tell him!

 My big 8th grader is off! 

I am making them both ride the bus this year...

 My cute girl in her colored skinny jeans...that she HAD TO HAVE!

I have to walk Sydney to the bus stop every morning....so fun in my PJ's!

For Real...what happened?
This is Hunter's first day of Kindergarten and Sydney is 18 months....

Still the same kids....beautiful and awesome!
