Eight wonderful years

Allan and I celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary. 

It has been such an amazing time together!

He is great at seeing things from an unbiased perspective.

He has more patience than I do, which is not hard for anyone to posses.

He has a tender heart and is such an amazing father.

Thanks for all you do for me and our family.

I love you with all my heart!

Pioneer Day

I took the boys to the park for some Pioneer Day festivities. 

Ty did a great job climbing this super tall bouncy ladder.

 We went inside this cool and spacious tee-pee.

Since purple is Ty's favorite color, he wanted a grape slushy.

We also got corn on the cob and sweet bread to take home and eat.

Ty loved the corn so much, he finished Oz's too.

Daddy had to work, so he missed all the fun.

Independence Day

We went up north to watch a parade with Allan's sister and her family. Ty covered his ears as the loud sirens passed by.

Watching some bikes ride by. There was so much candy being tossed from the floats; we gave most of it to the cousins.

The morning wasn't too bad, but as the day continued, it became so hot. I couldn't wait to get inside.

Beautiful horses and a carriage. 

preschool graduation

 Ty "graduated" from his first year of preschool.

This is the cute Hawaiian themed stage.

Ty is wearing plaid shorts (2nd kid from the right)

His class sang songs and had a great time being on stage.

 Thanks for a wonderful year Miss Patti. We love you!

Enjoying some tasty treats after the program.

Aquarium

We enjoyed visiting Grammy in Idaho and took the boys to the aquarium.

Here were some of our favorite things:

the seahorses

 the garden eels

 the jellyfish

 the fish

and Ty's favorite was the bat ray.

Mother's Day

 Allan got me beautiful lilies for Mother's Day.

I love my boys!
