Quick trip to the mountains

We ended up taking a last minute trip to the mountains. We had a great weekend with Bryan's parents and siblings. We had a great time hanging out, watching the family run, playing with Bentley and seeing Grandpa Bob.

Getting ready to watch the runners

The St. Patty's Day Family Run in Show Low. We watched Bryan's parents and brother, Skip, run the event. At the starting line. I believe their were about 30 adults running. The kids finished their run just before the adults.

Let's go Uncle Skippy

Go Papa!

Yay Grammi!

Back at home. We keep wondering how did we get 2 blue eyed kids.

Finally...


After many years...I will FINALLY be graduating with my bachelor's degree! I just finished my last 2 classes at NAU. In May, I will graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene. Not too bad for finishing the last credits after receiving my dental hygiene degree, with 2 pregnancies (one of which was born during my second semester), working part-time, many callings at church, and just general family stuff.

Many faces...

Just some fun pictures of the family in March!

This face is the classic face Carson gives us when you tell him no. It doesn't matter whether he is doing something wrong or just can't have what he wants.

We love this mad face. He has this little attitude that he creates when you get after him about something. He is trying to show you he isn't happy but please let me have it.

So happy to be outside!

our good little walker

at the park. Our social butterfly. He chases after people hoping they will pick him up or give him a hug. It doesn't matter where we go, we have to follow him closely so he leaves people alone.

the big monkey

he thinks he is pretty silly

after a long day at the park. I think we wore out Colby. He fell asleep just before 6. He set up this chair while we were finishing making dinner. We woke him up and asked if he wanted to eat dinner or go to bed. He chose the bed. He slept until 7 the next morning.

Aloha Festival in Tempe. This is the second year we went to this festival. We had a great time. We actually sat down and watched some awesome performances.

Carson enjoying the shows or maybe more so the snacks.

hanging out watching the dancers

One day Colby had his swords out and I asked if he wanted me to make him something to go with his swords. He decided we could cut out a king's crown. We quickly made a crown and he spent some time decorating it. Then he made a castle, moat, and all sorts of things to fill his castle (with random household things). He had a great day being a king.
