"They're the world my world revolves around, my sacred piece of solid ground. The flesh and bone that gives me streangth to stand. They're the fire in my driving on, the drive behind my coming home. The living, breathing reason that I am."

My Little Stud muffin!

After I had Aiden all dressed up for church on Sunday...he looked so handsome that I had to take a picture!!

I can't believe how fast he has grown up! All of the sudden, he is a little boy and not a baby!

Aidens 22 month "Fun Facts"


My little monster is 22 months old!! I really can't believe how fast time has flown since he came into my life!

Aiden is my absolute treasure.....but at the same time...tests my patients like no other....next to David that is.... We are fast approaching the "Terrible Two's" with my adorable boy....and he is night and day! I have heard that that is normal for this age, so I can only assume that this too shall pass!


As of now, these are Aidens stats and accomplishments:

-Weighs 24 pounds

-6 month post op check showed no signs of tumor regrowth!

-Says most words you ask...or don't ask him to repeat!

-LOVES Macaroni and Cheese, pickles, and pop corn

-Likes watching Bob the Builder

-Thinks he is too big to be helped. He insists on feeding himself, going down stairs by himself, and washing himself in the tub!

-Still LOVES hanging out with his Dad!

-Is VERY stubborn and head strong.....he comes by that honestly...so I can't blame him!


Aiden is my whole world!! I am having such an amazing time being a mom and watching him learn and become a little person all his own!

BSU vs. Miami of Ohio

This weekend, David and I left Aiden with my mom, and hit the road to meet up with our favorite fellow Bronco fans to cheer the boys in blue to a 48-0 win over the Redhawks!! I can't think of a better date night!!!




We had FANTASTIC seats!! Ashleigh even got to give some high-fives to the players before the game....next time....I am your bathroom buddy!! :)

After the game we got to go down on the blue turf and snap some pictures!!

I had been hoping all night that Buster Bronco would make his way our direction....I kept trying to snap pictures of him from across the stadium... I NEVER imagined that I would get this close!!

Buster got a little fresh!!! I got more than I had bargained for...not only a picture...but a HUG!! Made my day!!!

Thanks Kyle and Ashleigh for the SUPER FUN double date!! We can't wait until the 3rd!!! :)

GAME DAY...and more!

WARNING: PICTURE OVERLOAD!!


Thursday night the Boise State Bronocs crushed the egos of the Oregon Ducks....and I am thrilled to say that we watched!!! Although, we weren't in the stadium, we went to Boise to watch the game with Kyle and Ashleigh.....our Boise counter-parts!!


Little Lexi fit right into our family photo in her little blue jersey!! We would steal her if we could!
Friday morning we went and fed the ducks in paddle boats!! It was AMAZING! The ducks would come right up to your boat...and just about bite off your fingers if you didn't give them food!

Aiden was more excited about eating the popcorn then feeding it to the ducks.....


Friday afternoon we went to the water park....it was SUPER fun!! Aiden LOVED it!!







Saturday we went bolwing...Aiden had never been bowling before, so it was a new experience for him.





The next morning for breakfast we went to the Nampa airport and the kids got to watch the airplanes come in and out while eating breakfast!! Aiden LOVES airplanes and was so excited to see them take off and land!!


We had TONS and TONS of fun!! Thanks Kyle and Ashleigh for yet another FANTASTIC trip to your side of the state!! We always laugh SUPER hard when we are with you guys!! We love you guys!

We will see you again soon!!

My Favorite Lady...

Friday is my very favorite persons birthday, and I will be gone....so tonight we went out to Chinese food to celebrate!!

I met Janell when I was a tiny little girl and I would go into her gas station.....I grew up and would still go into her gas station. Fate stepped in a few years later when she asked my dad to a singles dance.....he didn't go, but they started dating. Well, little did Janell know that even though things didn't work out with my dad, she was going to be stuck with a daughter!!

Janell was my mom when I didn't have one, and she was my friend when I needed one. She has been there through it all and I would NEVER be able to thank her enough for just being there!

We have been "adopted" into their family and we love them as our own!! Aiden calls her "mammy"....which is grandma, and I will always love her like my mom!!

So, Happpy Birthday to the most special lady I know!! Thanks for everything that you do for us! I know that I would not be where I am today without you!! We are so lukcy to have you and your boys in our lives!

We love you.....

First Annual Girls Weekend!

This weekend Sarah, Kami, Carrie and I enjoyed some much needed girl time in Salt Lake. A HUGE thanks to Carrie for letting us sleep at her house.....well stay at her house!!


On our way out of town, Sarah had to stop at the fair grounds in Blackfoot to turn in her pictures for the fair.....I thought it appropriate to document that for her! :)


That night, we met up with Carrie and ate at Tipanyaki....SUPER TASTY!!

After a little late night shopping, we headed back to Carries house to "sleep".....we didn't get much of that....but Kami got us up bright and early at 6am to go to yard sales in Park City.....David was completely amazed that we had driven 200 miles to buy junk!! But after a few FANTASTIC finds....we made our way to the outlet malls and shopped till we literally couln't shop any more!!
The most important and most talked about purchase was Sarah's topiary trees. We all extatic when she found them!!

The last and final hurdle was to get all of the stuff that we bought into the back of Sarahs car!! We are FANTASTIC packers!!

We had a BLAST!! It was so nice to get away and get re-aqauinted......just us girls. By Saturday afternoon talk had switched from excitement of being gone, to excitement of getting home and seeing our families.

Thanks girls!! I had so much fun....you guys are the BEST!!
