I Can't believe he is 5!!

I can't believe Paden is going to be 5 years old this week. He has been so much fun to have in our family. He is so tender-hearted and has an absolute love for life! Here are a few of my favorite pictures of him...

This is his birthday last year...I don't think we can ever beat the 4-wheeler for a present!

This crazy kid is always making us laugh! He just wants to have fun!


This was Paden's first 4th of July parade at only 3 days old!

I love this picture of little Paden next to chunky Zach!

My all time favorite picture of Paden at Yellowstone sporting a Ranger hat.

This kid was always smiling and always drooling!

Our cute family of 4 at the hospital!

The day my boy was born! We were so happy!

I love ya little guy! Happy Birthday!

Girls Camp

I am in the Young Women's and I have absolutely loved my time with these girls. This June we were able to go up to Camp Zarahemla for Stake Camp and we had a ball!

These girls are so amazing and I love hanging out with them. I can only hope that my girls turn out this good!

I love the leaders that I get to serve with too! They are great examples and friends!

Baby Animal Days at This is the Place Park

For Iggy's birthday we celebrated here! They had the petting zoo open and all sorts of other fun activities!

They were able to ride on the horses, I don't know who had more fun...the kids or the babies!

Hadi loved the little ducklings and chicks! She calls them "quack, quacks"

This was Paden's favorite part to feed the goats! He spent a majority of the time doing just that.

They had the best time riding this tiny little train...however, it derailed half way through the ride and Ben had to help the conductor get it back on course! It was funny to see the kids bumping up and down before they figured out what was wrong!

We found a pioneer school house where Macie was able to have her turn playing the dunce!

Paden's Preschool Graduation

Paden Graduated from his first year of preschool!

Here he is with one of his best friends, Dylan!

Paden and his proud parents. He sang so loud at his program and knew his part so well!

Miss. Jolynne has been a great preschool teacher and we can't wait until next fall when he gets to have her again for the 4-year old class!

Kristi's Bridal Shower

We have been waiting for this day for so long! The day we finally get to repay Kristi for all the showers that she has thrown us. She just got married and we could not be more happier for her!

Here is the guest of honor...working hard to help get things ready when she should just be relaxing and enjoying her day!

Our spread for the luncheon...

This was such a fun shower to throw with lots of treats included

Macie's Kindergarten Graduation...

I know I am a little late, but life is starting to slow down a little so I am trying to catch up.

Macie sang all of her program songs so well! She is so dang cute!

Macie's best friend Madi! They get to be in the same class next year!

We absolutely loved Mrs. Larsen this year! She is so spunky and I can't believe how much energy she has, I guess you have to when teaching Kindergarten!
