March

Not in chronological order, here's March!

St. Patrick's Day

Oh how I just love these two!

Practicing pinching (lightly!) before facing the day!

These two have such a sweet bond I'm almost jealous of. :) It's just the sweetest thing in the world to see how much these two just 'get' each other. No question they are each others' favorite person.

Me and sweet Benners. He is such a kind and sweet little boy! He's so polite and loving. Such a big big heart!

 

EASTER! We did this Easter photo shoot about a week before Easter - same as Aria's birth sister and cousin and about 3 1/2 weeks later finally got them! Such sweeties! Couple more of them to the right in the sidebar. :)

 

Coloring Easter eggs

I love these little goof balls!

All 3 of them!

Easter Egg hunt at Grandma & Grandpa's

 

I love this photo. It shows that warmer weather graced us!

Ben and his super hero friends planning their next mission.

Aria LOVES helping. Have I mentioned that? Oh yeah, like 100 times. She WANTS to do dishes!

Joy School goodness!

I love this shot of Ben. Haha! So funny!

Nap time!

Tickles and giggles!

I love this photo. Aria loves Dancing and wants Daddy to dance with her all the time. And, since she has Daddy wrapped around her finger..

Our close friend (and the kids' best friend's mom) found out at 31 weeks pregnant that she has cancer. A lot of friends and ward members send words of love and we put them on hearts. A&B helped "heart attack" her house with all of the words of encouragement. Such good helpers. They have been so worried about our friend and so sweet to be thinking of her and wanting so show love. We've been heartbroken about all of this. :(

More cousin time! Kylie this time! Alecia comes a lot but doesn't like her photo taken. :)

Aria wanted me to take a photo of her dog "Rose". She's so cute!

Rose wasn't "allowed outside" because she can get dirty, so she sat in the doorway and watched us play. :) Haha!

Randomness and giggles

I have so many random/funny photos and just had to share a few of these!

Sometimes we joke about how Ben is an "old soul" he loves sitting in his little lawn chair with a blanket pulled up on his lap. :) 

Aria made a hair thing cake. Here she is tasting it. ;)

FORTS! We love making these. This one in particular was impressive too. :)

These 2 like waving goodbye to Daddy as he leaves for work.

Pool party with friends!

Aria and Ruby

I love this! She put the hose on one end of the handlebar... Check out that leap in the air too!

I had these on the counter from looking for something in the spice cupboard and when I came back in the kitchen, Aria had these stacked so well. Haha! 

Autumn Leaves

A while back we took a drive up the canyon to see the changing leaves. It's so beautiful and something we love doing every year.I made some yummy pumpkin cupcakes with Pumpkin cream frosting. They were a hit!

Bridal Veil Falls

4th of July!

My favorite time of year. And, since our State's celebration is 20 days later, we pretty much get to celebrate twice - or as we like - all month!

Normally we are camping with the Davis side and watching fireworks in Manti. This year we are doing that over our state celebration instead! We are really excited!

Since we were around for the 4th we wanted to do all that we could. Lance and I started off the day really early and ran the Freedom Run 5k. This was my worst run! It felt like a 6k or 7k! Plus, there was a bit of Ash in the air from a nearby mountain that started on fire the afternoon before and I had a sore throat for the rest of the day. There were about 6000+ runners! It was insane. If I ran with a camera or phone I'd have taken a photo of the sea of people around us! We got some awesome finisher medals too!

 

Here's some picture overload! We went to take some 4th of July photos to send to kids' Birth Parents and had some fun! The kids are so cute with each other and we caught a lot of it on film! (That's a praying Mantis on them) Notice Dex photo-bombing the whole time!

 

 

The BBQ with some of my family that was around!
