Adventures with the Kiddos!!

The latest photos to remind me of some sweet memories with my favorite tiny people!

 Catching some rays with my favorite little man. 

This is what happens when one kid has an injured foot and the other won't walk on the dirt. #favoriteauntaward

I'm so blessed with some of the cutest nieces/nephews and so many more not pictured here. I love them and can't wait for whit's little boy this September!! 

Dixie ROTC Banquet

This man of mine has officially completed his first year of ROTC. That means getting up at 6 am every other morning for PT workouts, taking extra classes, and random weekend training. Plus his once a month training for the national guard. He is my hero and I am trying my best to love and support him throughout his Army career. I am so proud of him for following his dreams and pushing himself. 

Dixie ROTC threw a banquet in  the cadets honor and it was fun to go eat and visit with the other wives. Ethan was even given an award for keeping his grades up throughout the program. Which I'll be honest surprised me considering he loves putting off his homework until the last minute...but hey I guess at least he's good at it! That's my man!!

E A S T E R 2015

This year we had Easter in Skyler and Melissa's big remodeled backyard that they are so proud of. It was the perfect location for a big family gathering and with nice beautiful weather to accompany us. 

 I honestly can't imagine my life without this hunk. He makes me so happy that I wonder how I ever survived without him! And it is #becauseofHim that I am so happy and in an ETERNAL marriage with the man of my dreams. I am so grateful for the life and resurrection of my Savior Jesus Christ. 

These girls are some of my favorite people. Growing up having so many cousins/sisters my age has been awesome. I just can't wait to see what our futures hold as we all start our families and hopefully continue to strengthen our relationships. Look how beautiful they all are!!

These two have such a sweet relationship with one another.

Spring Break Part 4

---------------------------Monday---------------------------

 

Before we knew it we were on the last day! Luckily we didn't fly out until 5:30 that night so we were able to squeeze in a few last minute things. We took off in the morning and went back to the Natural history museum to look around a little more since that was one of my favorite museums. We even got to go into the butterfly exhibit!  Then Desmond and Tana picked us up and we headed to the arboretum.  It was a beautiful fenced in area with driving and walking paths with trees and plants from all over the world!! Our favorite place was inside the bonsai museum where we saw a 600 year old tree! We are now pretty set on getting and training a beautiful bonsai for our house! After the Arboretum we headed over to Fort McHenry in Baltimore and took a tour of the battlefield. It was cool to be where they wrote the Star spangled banner and hear the story of how it came to be. Then off to the airport we went. 

We had such a wonderful and exciting week and loved every minute of it, but I'll admit I was excited to be coming home to sunny St.George and our families. We live in such a beautiful city and I will always love coming home! Best spring break so far!! 

My handsom Ethan who also happens to be the best traveling companion!
