Aerosmith Concert

Chad and I had a blast at the Aerosmith concert last night. This was my second time seeing them in concert! They sure put on an amazing show! I can't believe how much energy Steven Tyler has! Chad and I agreed the best songs of the night were"Cryin" and "Dream On" was hard to pick our favorites though. When we got there I really wanted to get a t-shirt but the line was a mile long, so I said forget it! Chad was so sweet and said he needed to go get a drink and instead he went and got me a t-shirt, and then came back and surprised me! Besides the awful heat, it was such a fun date night and concert!

Best Friends

Ella and Carson have been playing so well together lately! I have waited for this day for a long time:) They still have their many "moments" where one of them will knock down a tower, or take something away from the other. It is so cute to see them play together. I'm so glad they have each other. :)

I found them the other day reading books on the stairs together

Good Weekend

We started the weekend out on Friday night celebrating my darling niece Kelsey's 7th b-day! It was such a fun swimming party and we had a delicious BBQ! The kids had a blast playing and swimming with all their cousins. Happy Birthday Kelsey!

On Saturday,we took the kids to Rainforest Cafe. Grammie, Pop Pop and Kasen came too. The kids had a blast, and they couldn't get enough of all the moving animals and cool sounds! It was just as good as going to the zoo but about 50 degrees cooler! Such a fun place to go!

Sunday, was an important day for Ella and Carson at church. Ella gave her first talk in primary. She did a great job, and we are so proud of her. Carson had his first offical day in nursery. I have been taking him the past few weeks trying to get him adjusted. The first couple times I took him in he wouldn't even get off my lap, completely clinging to me,no chance at all of me leaving. He did a little better today, he actually got off my lap and played with the toys, and sat with the kids during snack time. I sneaked out while he was playing toys and once he noticed I was gone he went hysterical , and they came and got me!Ella cried the whole time her first two months in nursery, so I'm expecting Carson will do the same. I'm glad for the progress he made today though.

What a great weekend we had!!!

Fabulous 4th!

We had a fabulous 4th! We didn't see fireworks this year, but we had a great time swimming, eating, and being with family! I am so very thankful to live in this country, and for all the freedoms we all enjoy. Hope everyone had a safe and Happy 4th!!!

My Family....by Ella

Ella talked about families in her sunbeam class. Here is the picture she drew of our family!

Father's Day

I feel so very blessed to be surrounded by the best fathers in the whole world. I can't express how much I love each one of them. I am so proud to be my daddy's daughter. Everyone just loves my dad. He is the most generous, loving, nicest, humbliest, kindest, honest etc. etc. person I have ever known in my life( besides my mom and in-laws of course:)) Not only do I have a GREAT father, but my father in law is just as wonderful! I just feel so truly blessed, and I am so happy that my children have the two best grandpas in the world. I am also so thankful to have Chad as the father to my children! He is so so so patient with them, and is always thinking about their best interest and always coming up with the funnest games to play with them. They absolutely adore him. Thanks Chad, for working so hard to provide for us! Hope all the fathers in my life, have a wonderful father's day today! You all mean so much to us!!! We love you!

The sweet things they say.....

This past Sunday, Ella learned about feelings in her sunbeam class. I usually put her handout on the fridge for the week. Today she was looking at the picture and says"Mama, when I look at the orange face in this picture, I think about you because you are always happy and you make me happy." I was almost in tears, I was quite shocked that she didn't say I remind her of the green angry face:) It just shows me that she forgives the times I am not always nice and happy:). I am glad that she still thinks more of me being happy than angry:). Then she says "The pink face reminds me of Grammie and Grandma Moody because they are always surprising me!":) It was just soooo cute!
