Mother's Day

 I feel blessed beyond measure to be a Mother and a Wife to my four boys. They bring me the greatest joy and happiness. Sometimes I feel like I have my hands full with all the wrestling, tackling, and mess making that goes on everyday, along with Korbin trying to get into everything and doing anything he can to test my penitence. But I wouldn't have it any other way, being part of my boys everyday life means the world to me. I am so grateful to be a stay at home Mom. I learn so much from my boys, they truly inspire me to be a better person and they know how to make their Mom feel special. I don't know how many times a day Kellen and Karson will come up to me and tell me that I am beautiful or that they love me. It is touching to hear those words from my boys and I try not to take it for granite. I feel like I will never measure up to the Mom my boys deserve to have, but I will always try. I hope I make them feel as special as they make me feel everyday. With out a doubt I have the most amazing husband. He is so good to me and the boys. For Mother's Day I was able to go up north and go shopping for clothes by myself, while Trevor watched the boys! I can count on one hand how many times that has happened since we have had kids, so I was grateful for the opportunity. When I came home Trevor had cleaned house, did dishes, folded all the laundry and put it away. The weekend of Mother's Day was my race in Moab and while I was gone he organized our pantry and storage area down stairs. On Mother's Day he cooked his Mom and I a yummy dinner. He also booked a trip for us to go down to St. George for a weekend to do some hiking and go to Tuacahn. He spoils me!  I definitely married up. 

Relay in Moab with my sisters

My two sisters Shalee, Tiffany and I had the opportunity to go run a relay for the Utah cattle women association in Moab. They paid for everything, so it was a free trip to Moab that we were able to enjoy. We took full advantage of it and spent Friday hiking at Aches National Park. It was so much fun to spend this rare time with just me and two of my sisters. Two sisters that I look up to and try to be more like. They are two of the most Christlike people I know. They are always putting others before themselves. They are always seeking the spiritual things in life, never glory or the vain worldly things that life has to offer. To the world they appear as ordinary women, but in the sight of our Heavenly Father they extraordinary, because they find joy in the simple things life has to offer. Never will you hear these ladies boast about themselves, they are humble and kind to everyone around them. I wish I could see them and be around them more often. I was grateful to have this time with them. Saturday was the day of the race and we couldn't have asked for a funner group of ladies. We all got along so well and had a blast together. I was actually sad when the race was over, Knowing there was a chance that I might not see some of the girls again. 

The route they had us run went up in to the La Sal Mountains and it was absolutely beautiful!  

Happy Birthday to the paw paws

When the boys got their stuff dogs for Christmas there was a tag on the ear of the dog that told you the name of the dog and the birthday of the dog. Well Kellen has insisted we have a birthday party for the dogs for a while now, so we finally did. We sang happy birthday and ate Mario cupcakes that the boys picked out. They were happy to have a birthday party for their dogs.

T-Ball with Dad

T-ball has started and I don't think there is anyone more excited about it than Kellen and Karson. They love to play and I love to watch them play especially, with their Dad as their coach. This is Karson's first year playing. We have only had one game so far, but the whole game Karson was beaming! You could tell he was pretty happy to be playing with his big brother this year. 

Tumbling

These boys had their last day on tumbling Monday. If was fun to go watch them. They were so excited to have their Dad there to watch all of their "cool tricks."

Payson Temple Open House

We have watch the Payson temple be built and every time we pass it Kellen and Karson have to point it out and ask when they can go inside. We finally were able to take them through the Payson temple. It is beautiful! I love how they had so many paintings of the mountains. Trevor's favorite part of the temple was the baptismal fount, where they had paintings on the wall of a mountain scene with deer. Kellen and Karson talked about how beautiful the lights were. My favorite part was being in one of the beautiful sealing rooms with my little family, knowing that I can be with them forever, because of the scared covenants we make with our Heavenly Father in the temple. When we went in the Celestial room with the boys I told them that this is what Heaven is going to be like. They were in awe with how beautiful the room was and it did feel like Heaven being in that room with them. I am so grateful we have had opportunities to take our boys to Temple open houses. I know they can feel how special of a place the Temple is. Right now in their minds there is no doubt they are going to the Temple someday. I hope by them being in these beautiful Temples their desire to be worthy to go to the Temple someday will grow stronger, because I know for them to be truly happy they need to go to the Temple and make scared covenants with their Heavenly Father themselves. 

My 26th Birthday

I feel very blessed to be where I am at in life right now. I have an amazing family who loves me and makes me feel special on my birthday. The boys love to get me flowers. They are always trying to get their Dad to buy me pink flowers, because they are my favorite. They surprised me with beautiful pink roses. I loved how excited the boys were to give them to me, they are the sweetest little boys. The weekend of my birthday we went over to Emery County to spend time with my family. I always feel at home in Emery County I love to go over there. Friday night Trev took me out to eat in Ferron at place called the grub box, we came back to my Mom and Dad's and went for a walk together in the hills I used to play at when I was a kid. We then watch Taken 3 at my Mom and Dad's house. Saturday we headed over to Price to go out to eat at Groggs and take the kids bowling. Tiffany and Dalen's family came with us along with Grandma Grandpa Scow. We got some yummy ice cream and headed back to my Mom and Dad's house and watched Unbroken.  Sunday we went to church with my Mom and Dad and then had an amazing ham dinner with delicious cake that my little sister and Mom made for my birthday. I had a wonderful birthday!
