31st Birthday Surprise!





The weather was awful and as we were driving on to our date, having dropped off the 3 boys, Geoffrey said, so... we aren't going home tonight. WHAT. He surprised me with an overnight in a hotel connecting to the reunion tower! Dinner was in Wolf Gang Puck's 560 restaurant in the Ball!! It was so cool to experience. It was sad to us how disappointing the food was, but I will always remember how sweet Geoffrey was to me, telling me how much he loves me and watching the city all around us. He does the BEST surprises! Here's to 31 years!

I decided to take Tia away for her 31st Birthday! What a fun trip! We ended up getting to the hotel late due to the weather. Once there, we found the neighbors had a dog barking like crazy so I asked to move rooms which they moved us to a nicer, more quiet location. Then we headed to dinner in the Ball! It was so much fun although due to the weather we couldn't see very far at all but it was still wonderful being there as I was with my beautiful bride. I love spending time with my best friend and she makes me so happy! I am grateful to have her in my life and I will always cherish her. I also bought her a massager that we used that night. She loved it! We had to head home pretty early the next day as our baby sitter needed to get going but it was still a lot of fun! The food was okay....Tia didn't really like what they gave her and I felt it could have been a lot better for a Michelin star restaurant. As we were driving home the next morning, it was snowing! So much fun! What a wonderful adventure together!

Will Got the Aaronic Priesthood!

















We were SO happy the big boys got to witness Will getting the arronic priesthood. It was so special to be a part of. I was dressed up a bit because Geoffrey was taking me out on a date right after, after we dropped the now 3 boys off at Tyler's. 

I was able to fly home for the weekend and therefore got a car rental. I got a jeep which was a lot of fun. Although it was a terrible to have  soft cover jeep. It rained and poured and then it even snowed! It was crazy. The boys loved the Jeep ride for fun and Will even wanted to go for a ride which he REALLY liked. We took Greggie, Calvin and Perry to Will's ordination to the Priesthood and then we took the boys to Tyler's house. Then I took Mommy to a hotel for her birthday where we drove through the scariest rain! We had a lot of fun though! I was grateful to be a part of the Ordination. 

Watson is 4!!

Watson is 4! He has really shown his character. He really is a good boy. He loves to help cook, help his little brothers get what they need, the color green, paw patrol and mickey mouse. He may be loud and gets into EvErythiNG and starting to really push back with saying no a lot, but he has such a caring heart for his siblings. He also misses his daddy a lot as a is still traveling to Corpus for work. Sweet boy. We love you Watson!

Happy Birthday Watson! I can't believe you are turning 4! Watson is definatly a handful and seems to always be getting into things he shouldn't but he is really a good boy. He loves to help mommy and I cook and he loves being my special helper. He loves to spend time with me when I am home and misses me when I am gone. He loves to spend time playing with his brother. When his brothers are gone every other weekend he misses them dearly and can't wait for them to come back. He is  a good boy and I am grateful for him. We love you Watson!

Perry is 3!





It is a hard birthday for me. Perry now has to go with his big brothers every weekend to spend the night at his dad's house. There will no longer be the 4 toddlers. It is now 3. I miss this sweet little man. He loves to wrap his arm around me really tight at night in his bed which tightens every time I try to get up. He is STRONG! He uses that strength to get what he wants from his brothers, unfortunately, lol. I have struggled to watch him struggle with not having enough of my attention. I try more and more to give each kid one on one attention. It is tough with homeschool.  Perry still LOVES cars and watching the wheels turn as he lays on the floor moving it back and forth. We love you Perry!

Happy Birthday Perry! I love spending time with Perry! he brings me so much joy and happiness. We are definitely still growing in our relationship but I am grateful for who he is. He is a bundle of joy. He loves playing with cars and trains. He love having mommy's attention but he also likes going on trips to the store with me. He is a very happy boy and that is always so nice to me! We love you Perry!

Eli is 2!!












Eli is talking more and more! He gets into everything now just like Watson, lol. He loves water, bananas, roughhousing and sneaking food (also just like Watson). playing outside, He loves giving hugs and slobbery kisses. He can say quite a few phrases. He has an infectious smile. We love him so much!
Happy Birthday Eli! It is hard to believe that Eli is now two! A lot has happened in the last two years and I am forever grateful we have Eli in our lives. He is a ball of energy and loves to explore. He loves spending time with his brothers but also likes to play with Mommy and Daddy. He can be pretty cranky at times but when you have a moment that is tender with Eli it makes up for everything. He has a very tender heart and is very caring towards his brothers. we love him so much!

Happy New Year 2020!


























We hosted our family Adult New Years Party. It was a lot of fun! We had great games, fun decorations, and after kissing at midnight we lit sparkler candles on our chocolate peanut butter cupcakes to make a wish for the new year. It was really special. Such great memories.
