Blue Angels

March 18th

We ditched out on church a little early so we could go watch the Blue Angels. They were in town for the weekend doing an air show, and let me just tell ya, it was AWESOME!! We tried to get a spot up on a hill, but the police stopped us. I guess they want you to pay? :) We just found a spot at the park and got just as good of a show.













They are so loud, and so fast!
We were having so much fun guessing which way they were going next, and hoping they would fly right over top of us, just one more time!
The kids all thought it was the coolest thing ever,
and I'm not gonna lie, it was pretty cool!
After about 40 minutes it started hailing, and snowing so they had to stop.

If they ever come again, we're definately getting tickets.

A Sunday favorite

One of our favorite things to do on a Sunday, or any day when we don't have anything else to do, is to feed the ducks.

Spring Break

This year it worked out that the last day of our spring break, Makayla's kids didn't have school. So on Thursday, we loaded up in the car and drove to Payson. When we pulled up, Addi and Makayla were outside waiting for us!! Lexie and Addi were completely inseparable the rest of the time. (and I swear they're twins)

Friday and Saturday were suppose to be nasty weather, so we just stayed at the house and let the kids just run wild on her 2 acres. My boys are in HEAVEN at their house. They can run around, completely free, and not hurt or destroy anything. I love it!!

Friday morning we kinda just hung out and let them play some more. Megan had to leave for a birthday party that was a sleepover after lunch, so we wanted them to get as much play time in before she had to go. Noah wasn't very happy about having to play with the little kids. When we dropped her off we had a few errands to run (like I totally spaced that the next day was St. Patrick's Day and didn't pack one thing green for anyone). These three were dying to go on the carousel at the mall.
Since the kids were so good about being in the car, and shopping, we took them bowling after.
I'm so bugged that I didn't take my camera. These are super blurry, and from my phone.



Lexie:65, Addi:73, Cutler:54, Kadence:56, Noah:82 
Friday night we rented a movie and lounged.
When the kids went to bed Makayla and I made these cute little treats for our kids.
(the bags I originally bought for them didn't work out so we had to improvise)

Saturday morning we got up ate some breakfast and were on our way home.
I had to stop and get my hair done, so that added a few hours to the drive, but the kids were super good.
We all had so much fun playing and hanging out.
Our kids miss each other so much!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

Pinewood Derby

March 6

Saying Noah loves the Pinewood Derby, is a huge understatement. Same goes for his dad, and his little brother. We had a lot going on this year in the 3 weeks he had his car before the big night, so it was cut out, sanded, and painted all within just a couple of days. I didn't get any other pictures of the process.


That night Noah was part of the flag ceremony. I wasn't ready with the camera by the time they started, so these aren't that great, but I wanted a picture of him doing it. I'll have to do better next time.


I love watching how much fun these boys have racing their cars. I wish it wasn't over so fast.






Noah's car won Best Design!!
Good job to all the guys who had a part in it!

Anniversary

I saw this on Pinterest and loved it, so I stole the idea!

We've been married for 8 years. So I got a balloon for each year (don't know where the 8th one is in the pic) and tied a picture from our wedding day to each of them with one reason why I love Colby.

We celebrated the day before, but I still wanted to do something for him on our actual anniversary.

Happy 8 years!!

Today we've been married 8 years!
I know that's not very long, but I can't believe it's been 8 years.


Colby works on Tuesday nights, so we celebrated last night.
Olive Garden, and mini golf.
I won!

I love you more every day!
Happy Anniversary honey!!

Basketball

During January and February, Noah played on a basketball team that was pretty awesome.
 They didn't have a name, [Team 6] I guess :)
 They don't keep score, but we finally did our very last game.
48-6.
Noah scored 12 of those points!!
And we had just played a game right before that one.
It was so much fun watching these kids get better every week.



Noah LOVES basketball. He loves to just shoot the ball around at our house, and he loves running up and down the court. Not sure why! But the kid has so much energy, this sport is perfect for him!!
