Trip to Reno

We got to fly to Reno last weekend to meet up with everyone in my family. It was a miracle. We saw Uncle Dave, Mark and Paul. I haven't seen any of my brothers in 3 years. We went out on Grandpa's boat one day, then to Tahoe, and just ate and played with the kids a lot!!

Here are all of the little ones. Lizzie looks like one of mine! I would take her. She is potty trained, sleeps through the night and very cute and smart. Lizzie is holding Carter(Aunt Lori's baby) and Katie is Paul and Mara's newest addition.

It took Ava and I a little while to get in, but we did. Brandt and I went wakeboarding, but I didn't get any pics of that.

Good times with Grandpa Dan!!

School is great.......

...............WHEN YOU ARE THE MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Both Tanner and Ava started up school! This is Tanner's second year and Ava's first year of preschool. It has been so good for them, and fun for me!!
This is just a cute fam photo that was supposed to be last in this photo line up......Grandma Teresa took it this one
Ava is in Mrs. Angela's class this year.
Tanner goes 5 days a week at Mrs Terri's and then at Mrs Laura's.
They are just so cute, and their backpacks are as big as them, it is hilarious. I am so proud of them!

Cozumel

We just got back from a week in Cozumel. It was awesome. We stayed at a resort for the first half, and then stayed with Chase and Valerie in a condo for the last part.
We had great weather and didn't get sick!! We snorkeled, swam, ate, slept, and Brandt went scuba diving a couple of times.
It was so fun to get away! We actually got to talk to eachother for more than 10 seconds at a time without being interrupted. (Thanks for watching our kids Mom!!)

My birthday!

The last birthday of my twenties! Chili's for dinner and cupcakes.
It was a good day!

Yea, we brushed teeth extra long that night!

4th of July Reunion

Fri-Mon of this past weekend we spent time with Brandt's family and extended Jones family up at the cabin in Blackhawk. The kids were in heaven playing all day with cousins and eating cupcakes at every meal.....or so it seemed.
We had a great weekend and are so grateful to live in America and enjoy all of the freedoms and rights we have. America rocks.

Tanner is so in his element when he is outside. This kid loves it. He is getting so big. Just love that boy!!!!!!
Here we are all around Brandt's grandma GG Jones. The Jones' are an amazing family. This is only a portion of the people at the reunion. There were tons!!

Daddy Day

Here is Brandt with the kiddos on Father's Day morning. We had a sweet breakfast and then went to church. Later Brandt's parents came over for steak and stuff. It was a good day.

We all love you babe. You are a fantastic daddy. You are a lot of fun and and work so hard to provide for us. We luvvvvvvv ya!

Don't ask me about Ava's hairstyle, I am not proud of it.

Homemade gift wrap and cards are cool!! Right, or maybe just cheap.

Great Dads!!

I have been so blessed in my life to have my dad. He is smart, driven, fun, sporty,spiritual, supportive and many other things. Most importantly he has been there for me no matter what. He always seems to love me. I sure love him too.

Thanks for being so awesome and for loving my children now too. You are great dad. Happy Father's Day!!

I have also been blessed to have a great father in law. Brandt's dad Lee Jones. He is amazing. Happy Father's Day.
