 Ahh..the first day of school. These two little men have seriously grown up into the greatest boys ever. I love to watch them grow, learn and change...it has been so much fun being able to stay home and really participate in their daily lives lately. (I missed out on so much working, so I'm cherishing every moment)
 This is the boys last year...my oh my...how they have grown!
 This is Carter's first year at Riverdale elementary...and I have to admit, I'm absolutely in love with the school. I love his teacher (she was actually Jake's first grade teacher as well) and I love the events that the school puts on. I have been thoroughly impressed (which is a very welcomed change since last year)

 Then it was off to drop off Brax at his school. We have since changed preschools that he goes to because the one I really wanted to get him into had an opening come up about 3 weeks into the school year. But this was his first day at Bravo.

 I have been taking the boys to daycare in the morning and leaving them until after work around 5:30 everyday for almost 4 solid years now....I will fully admit that staying home and actually being a part of their lives is amazing. I get to pick up Brax after his school and hang out with him one on one, while we wait for Carter's school to get out.
 On the first day of school, my sister and I took Brax out to Wendy's (without Carter) and he loved the special attention.
Such a goof! Love him so much it hurts.

Beach Day....

A day at the beach spent with our very best friends......what could be better? Ashley and I seriously have the most amazing kids, and I'm really glad that we're best friends. All five kiddos played at the beach for hours one August day.....we loved it!

Girls' Trip...

Unfortunately, I didn't take many pictures of our girls' trip to St. George. Jane, Shauna and I packed up for the weekend, and headed to sunny St. George. It was so much fun to get away just the girls. 
We had plans of shopping, yard sales and fun food.....but my body decided to have issues that lead us to the hospital for 6 hours instead. 
Everything ended up just fine, but it was super scary at the time. This is a quick pic we took after lunch.
