U Wanna some Barbie Cake?

Paige made this cake at Mrs. Karens Summer Fun Classes. Every kid in the class got to make one!! She loves Ms. Karen and loved her cake even more.

Fishing with Daddy

My husband loves to fish and wants his daughters to love it just as much as he does. I think they kinda do, but what they really like is the alone time that they get to spend with him and all the junk food they get to eat and drink while on their "FISHING TRIPS" This was up at Panguitch Lake in Utah.

Our Special Blankets

Matt's mom started a tradition several years ago that she would make a blanket and a bear for all of her grandchildren. Meagan of course was the first being the oldest grandchild. Eventually Taylor's turn came about and then just recently Brooke's came about. She got her blanket when we were in St. George visiting Matt's parents. Brooke was really excited to get her blanket and it turned out really beautiful. Now Paige is the last one in our family that will be getting one, but she has several cousins ahead of her just yet, so she has to be patient and wait just awhile longer.

The Soccer Queen

This is the first year for soccer for Brooke. She is WAY excited. She didnt know any of the girls on her team, but that didnt matter she became fast friends with them all. She totally enjoys soccer, she is pretty good too for having no prior experience. She scored a goal on her very first game, so hey I'm impressed! She is about a head taller than all the other girls and she is faster when she wants to be. She loves it that she has something that she gets to do with Dad all by herself. Matt and I enjoy her games very much. It is so hard as a parent to watch your kid outh there doing sports and not run out there and protect them or make them do what you want them too. It's a blast!

Young At Heart

This is my husbands grandfather. His name is Earl Williams! I love him dearly! He calls my husband, Matt Dog. I love it. We just celebrated his 93rd birthday with a huge party. This man has been a very important person in my husbands life. Matt lived at his grandpa's ranch for 2 years when he was younger. His grandfather baptized him. His grandfather taught him about hard work and integrity. Matt continued to go out and work for his grandfather on the ranch durning the summers after his family moved to Vegas. My children love their great grandpa. He always wants to see them and talk to them about how they are doing. Everytime i see grandpa he tells me how lucky Matt is to have me as a wife, this makes me happy, grandpa thinks I'm the BOMB!

Me and My Buddies

Huntington Anyone?

We love Huntington Beach and try to escape there anytime we get the chance, well we had a good friend who also enjoys it as much as we do, invite us on a vaca, soooo!!

What fun!! This was one of our funest group trips yet!! Great bunch of couples who went with us. The weather was a little difficult the first day and a half but after that it was great. The kids were entertained and we soaked up the sun. What more can you ask for. How about dinner away from the kids, we had that too!! Thanks to Meagan and my nephew Austin, all the adults went out and had a great mexican food dinner and TONS of laughs.

Definately need a repeat!

Annual Mexico Trip

Well we did our annual Mexico trip this year in April for spring break. Only this year we invited a few extra people, the Herleans and the Evensons made the trek down with us. It was an eventful trip to say the least. Lots of fun though and we look forward to doing it again. Kids had a blast and the mango's were as good as they always are. The guys did a fishing expedition that did not disappoint!!

My Mac Pack Gals

There is an award at the girls school that is given out to 1 student per class per month for outstanding behavior, grades, participation etc. Well this year both of my gals have received this prestigious award. Taylor did in December and Brooke in May! I am so proud of them!! You get to have lunch from McDonalds and eat it with the principal. (not a reward if you ask me) They were super excited and glowed the whole month.

MORE!!

Here's some more!

Easter

Easter this year was kind of thrown together. We went to Mexico for a few days during Spring Break and then came home to crudy weather. We did an Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday with friends which was good cause the kids needed to get out and play. Sunday we had Easter dinner at our house with my family. It was beautiful outside!!! The kids went swimming and we ate good food and then just relaxed. It was nice. Here are some photos of the egg hunt and a few other random ones that i keep forgetting to post.
