Birthday Month

May is the month for Shawn and my birthdays and for my birthday he did this wonderful drawing:Isn't he wonderful? His birthday was yesterday and we had a nice time at my in-laws house having a BBQ and spending time with family. The bummer is that I started coming down with a cold on Saturday, it started with a mild sore throat, but by last night I felt TERRIBLE and today I have been really not feeling well. I guess I can't complain too much, this is the first illness any of us have had this year, not bad!

Time to Catch Up!

Okay, so it had been quite a while since I last posted, I know! Things have been really busy and with Mother's Day and my birthday, I have a tendency to get a little lazy! I hope you enjoy the updates from the past few weeks!

On Mother's Day, Shawn allowed Abby to paint his toenails, he has just finished painting mine, and I painting hers, so she needed someone to do, if you can't see the color, it is REALLY pink! He is such a great Daddy!

Our really good friends, The Larsen's came into town from Texas, so of course, we had to do Wii with them, here is Shawn and Bryce boxing.

Shawn is a good loser!

Here is Me and Shawn after we got sung to for our birthdays! (Yes, I know we both look fat on here . . .)

Abby in the morning . . .

Today we got a lot of yard work done. When we finished, Shawn needed to take a break and Abby needed someone to pull . . . but it didn't last long.




The kids, of course, then decided to get a ride from Daddy . . . lazy bums! :)

Goblin Valley

Well, on Saturday we decided to take a day trip to Goblin Valley- it is one of our favorite spots to go to, although we haven't been there in too long! The kids had a blast!
Shawn and the kids got a bit tired while we were exploring and had to stop for a nap!

Shawn can hike a bit higher than the kids, but I wanted to show how high some of the "goblins" are- and how cute everyone was!

Abby is just cute!

This is how the kids went down a big hill they had hiked up- in case you can't tell, it is a slide!

Here is Abby "flexing her muscles"

Here's Lucas- he loved climbing the rocks and hiding behind them in order to "scare" us!

I'm so excited for this, I can't hardly stand it!

I have the best Husband EVER and I pity everyone else!

I just wanted to put up this adorable e-mail that Shawn made me this morning- he knew that I had a rough day yesterday, so he did this for me . . . how awesome is he?!
