Grateful...

I am truly grateful for these two studs! 

If it weren't for these little guys....my life would be nothing. I love being their mom. My days are long, my responsibilities are endless, my patience is lacking, my energy is dwindling daily....but these two little boys keep me going! Thank you Carter and Braxton, you mean the absolute WORLD to your mom. 

Weber State Birthday Party...

Awhile back Carter got invited to his friend Clara's birthday party. (I've been slacking on my postings lately) 

I have to say, this party was one of the best ones I've been to. (This is coming from the crazy event planner even!) 

The idea was to have the kids come and watch a basketball game at Weber State. It was a unique idea and I had to check it out....not to mention Clara is one of Carter's "girlfriends" so of course we had to be there. The kids all sat together and cheered for Weber. 

Clara's mom made sure the kids had pom poms and purple foam fingers to cheer in the crowd. Then Clara passed out paper sacks she drew on that were filled with the snacks. (Super cute idea)

And instead of cake, there were cake pops! Uber brilliant at a little kids party in the stands!

The Weber State mascot came over to see us! Super fun! It was a great party!

Turning 27

I celebrated my 27th birthday last weekend. I am truly so grateful for my family and support that they show me. The whole gang was able to come out to Lagoon and party it up!

(I have to admit, I absolutely LOVE getting older!)

Me and my little men....

The boys waiting for a ride....

The girls....pretty sure I'd be lost without these two. 

I don't remember the last time I was at Lagoon with my dad....it was really fun seeing the boys enjoy all the rides and go with each of us. 

My little dude....poor kid we really tired him out!

This is Carter after the water ride.....he was sunbathing to get warm and dry off!

We had such a fun trip to the amusement park! Plenty of snacks, drinks and rides to last a little while.

We all came back to my mom's for cake and ice cream. My mom really out-did herself this year with my cake. (It's been a tradition that she makes the cakes and they are always amazing) The pink frosting was even flavored. 

I was also surprised at work the next day with the most gorgeous flowers ever! One of my favorite people in this world made sure I would have some more celebrating even after my birthday. 

Goodbye 26.....Bring it on 27!

Play Dates....

I have been working so hard lately, that I have made it a HUGE priority of mine to play hard too! 

Last week, there was a day that I was working late and wasn't going to see the boys until 9 that night. So in the middle of the "school" day I checked Carter out and took him to SubZero. This kid loves it there! It was really fun because it was just the two of us and we had a blast!

 We also got the chance to meet up with "Aunt Rachel" who we absolutely adore. I don't have a ton of friends in my life that I would consider to be like family, but this girl definitely is one of them. My boys just love her, and between the two of us, Rach and I can talk forever! We went shopping for summer clothes with the boys and had lunch at Chick-Fil-A where they had the "cow" out for the kiddos. 

 Scott and I have made it a priority to do things as a "family" once a month or so. This is such a great thing for the boys and I am committed to anything that will help them understand how we're still a family, just different now. We took the boys to the health food store where they each got to push around their own mini shopping carts. 

 I have been cherishing my "alone" time with these little dudes on my weekends with them. Carter and I introduced Brax to the wonderful world of Jiffy Pop! What's not to love about that right? Followed by a fun movie...it was a great night. 

Our "play-dates" have been so much fun lately. Keep 'em coming!

Mother's Day...

This year, my Mother's Day was AMAZING! I had seriously the best time I've ever had. This weekend was Scott's weekend, so he had them Sunday morning. Which, I'm not going to lie....sleeping in was the BEST. :) I slept in for the first time in a long time. 

Once he dropped them off, they presented me with homemade cards. I have to admit, Scott really impressed me with helping the boys make cards for me. Carter even made this cute flower pen and painted this pot for me at school. 

 My mom, sister and I took the boys on a drive through Antelope Island. Carter loved it. 

 Sweet little Brax slept the ENTIRE time! 

We even took little Timmy with us. After our drive, a BBQ and playing outside.....our day was over. I have to say...I'm a pretty proud mom of my two sweet little guys. 

Growing Up....

My little guys are both doing so much lately....and growing into such amazing little dudes! 

This stud....is in the process of potty training. Today he went to daycare and didn't have any accidents, I've only been working with him for a few days. It's a lot harder this time around because I work so much and the boys go between Scott and myself, so consistency is not in my favor. But he has prevailed! Love him.....

 Carter is also growing....and that means no more training wheels! This little guy is doing so well. It's a slow process...but I have gotten some good leg exercise from it! My dad came over and helped us take the training wheels off and showed Carter his very first time how to ride without them. 

 I'm also getting the very rare chance to grow up as well. It's been fun having some weekends "off duty" from being a mom and getting to do the things I've never gotten a chance to do before. My mom and I have been doing a lot more shopping, eating out and exploring this amazing world we live in. 

 It's been a fun few weeks for our little fam. 

Lucky Time!

For St. Patrick's Day this year I made these cute goodies for the boys. I got them off a cute website and they were super easy. This is what the cute little guys woke up to find on the coffee table...

 I made these cute little envelopes as well. They have the 10 reasons why I love them so much! It was so fun reading each reason to them. They would listen and blush each time I read a new one....precious! 

 Speaking of Lucky....I've been killing my sales goals lately. So to celebrate, my boss took the managers out for the day. We went Go Kart racing in Layton, I have to admit I had a BLAST! I even finished second! We then finished our day with a lunch at Brixton's. 

Life's been pretty good to us lately.
