What a weekend!

This weekend was a lot of fun for our family! Friday we were able to go thru the Draper Temple, sadly I did not get any pictures from that day! It was such an awesome experience to be inside the temple with the whole family, including the kids! I am so glad we were able to experience that together!

Saturday we went to Monster Trucks! Other than the LOUD noise it was a lot of fun! The only other downfall was

Ammon wasn't able to join us because he had to work and we really missed him.

The man who drove this truck was in a wheel chair and I was just amazed that he didnt let that stop him from doing something that he loved!


Izzy was so into it! She would hang over the rail so she could see the trucks below and would clap and holler. She just knew that she needed to cover her ears when they started reving their engines because of the noise level.

I bought her this flag and she loved waiving it all around!

My husband rocks!

I haven't been feeling too well since Thursday. Thursday thru Saturday I woke up every morning with a slight fever, I would just take some tylenol and be just fine, well Saturday/Sunday night I woke up and I seriously thought a train just ran over me and I felt like, no other words to describe it but I felt like CRAP!! As you know mommies dont get a sick day but let me tell you just how much my husband rocks!In the middle of the night I would want a glass of water and I would wake Ammon up to go and get it for me! I was able to sleep ALL day on Sunday and never got out of bed, he put both the kids down for a nap right before he went to church so I didnt have to worry about them, he did the laundry, dishes, fed the kids, bathed them, everything that needed to be done he did it! Monday rolls around and he had to go to work, he came home to a DISASTRIOUS house! He even said, "This house is a mess!" I was thinking oh you better not go there I still feel awful, but what he did instead was tell Izzy to pick up her toys while he did the dishes so Mommy didnt have to! Love the man! Monday night I just wasnt getting any better so we went to the ER because Insta Care had already closed and he wrestled with both the kids for about 2 1/2 hours while they ran a bunch of different test. Turns out I have severe strep throat and I had to get a shot in the bum bum! OWWWIIIEE! But I just wanted everyone to know how much I love my husband for taking care of everything for me so I could get my rest! You rock Ammon and I love you!!!

Mommy I am jumping!!

We went to Jump on It for our nephew Tyler's birthday and Izzy was in heaven! She LOVES to jump! I think that I should invest in a little trampoline for her to have, she would have such a hayday with it! The whole time she would look at me and say, "Mommy Mommy I jumpin!" She had a smile the whole time!
Ammon even got in on a little air time too!
Of course Izzy had to ride the little merry go round. I think we spend $5 for her to go around and around and than around again! :-)

It wouldn't be an event without a picture of Alli and Ezra now would it!

On your marks, get set........ TRAIN!!

Today is the day! We hit the pavement and officially started training for our marathon! A family that runs together stays together! :)

SURPRISE 30th!!!

I am exited to annouce that I pulled it off!! I have been planning Ammon's surprise birthday party for quite awhile and I didn't think that I was going to be able to get away with it and with a big smile on my face I am able to say I succeeded in the mission! Ammon's birthday isn't until Friday the 23rd but to throw him off I had it a week early! He had no clue and was completely caught off guard. This is the year of turnng 30 so I wanted to make it a memorable one for him! Happy early Birthday babe! I need to get better at taking more pictures though!

Here are a few of our friends anxiously awaiting for his arrival

As usual I had to include a picture of Ezra and Alli; especially since they are wearing matching outfits. Yes it was planned by the Mommies!


Izzy was such a trooper that night even though she had a double ear infection! She still wanted to party with everyone!

Ezra and Alli

Here are a few more pictures that were captured of Ezra on his blessing day (however not by me since I was such a huge slacker!). I just love how big Ezra's smile is in this picture!

And Alli's dress is just darling!

I think this is a perfect picture of the two of them!
