Drop for drop

My friend, Shay called me and one Monday and asked me if I would mind bringing Rome to the People Water building for a photoshoot that they were doing that day for their new kids clothing line, "kids helping kids."  I was a little hesitant to take Rome because he had been throwing up all morning, but it was such a fun opportunity I jumped at the chance to see Rome in an add for People Water.  I love People Water and what they stand for....and let's be honest I wanted to see Jef Holm!  Here are some of my boo's pics...I kinda like em!!  He's handsome, like his daddy!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 





1st Day & 2nd Year

We decided to stay at Preschool Musical.  Mila loves her teachers, Mrs. Sandra, Mrs. Merrialee and Mrs. Heather and she learned so much last year.  She was so sad to hear that now that school is starting the pools will close,  BUT when she learned that she got new school shoes all was right in her world again!  This is her 2nd year in preschool and she is going monday, wednesday and fridays.  Dancing at School of Ballet Arts on Mondays and Studio One on Tuesdays (both of her aunts are dance teachers)...and she'd like to add cheer...think she is busy enough for a three year old tho?!

 

These next pictures were from the next monday after school started.

Mila: Mom, don't you think you need to take my picture?

Me: Uh, why?

Mila: It's my first day of school.

Me: No it's not.

Mila: Well, it is for my new boots, so let's take a picture, K!

 

   I worry this girl isn't going to have a good self esstem ;)

 

 

Bear Lake

I put of lot of stress into this trip...UN NEEDED stress!  I have been so excited to go for the week with our little family and Marshall and Linds and their little family and some friends but I stressed so much about having my kids by a lake for a whole week, obviously worried about them drowning, and I really worry about bears!  Didn't think that it was a far fetched worry beings I was going to a lake freakin named BEAR lake!!  Both my worries I soon learned after arriving there were silly.  No bears...we were on more of a beach then mountains...bears don't like beaches.  And my kids wanted nothing to do with the water unless we were in the boat...phew!! 
The kids get their camping skills from their mama.  I think Chad might have been a little embarrssed?  Niether of them wanted to play in the mud or really do any of the regular bear lake/ camping activitys like looking for frogs, playing with the slimey sticks....ect...of course I want them to be kids and get dirty and have fun but it was nice having them just lay on the beach with me and be content to munch and play in the sand.  We had a great time with my adorable nieces and nephew.  Watching Mila and Rome form bonds with their cousins melts my heart.  They don't even know what amazing friendships they are creating and will always have their cousins there for them, whenever.  Family is very important to me and my cousins are so dear to my heart so I just love this!  Thanks again Marshall and Linds for the invite, we had an absolute blast!!

 

7th Inning Stretch

Seven years being married...lucky us!! How did we celebrate?  We did what we do best.  Vegged in Park City at the pool with beer, sun, a book and eachother!  We went and walked Mainstreet one night and got dinner and we ate some nachoes that pretty much rocked our world!! Came back from dinner and sat in our hot tub that was on our balcony, fancy huh??   And the next day shopped ALL day long!  Then sped home to our sweet babies!!  Could not have been a better weekend with the man that I love!



Mila's Dance Performance's

What's right in MY world!

So, we FINALLY got family pictures taken!  My friend, Amanda Hendrickson is an AMAZING photographer and she took them for us.  They could not have turned out more prefect for me.  In a month it will be 7 years that Chad and I have been married and these are the first pictures that we have taken since our engagement photos.  I have had the kids pictures taken but never all of us.  We did them at Utah Lake, which is where we did our engagements :)  Kinda funny, but it is one of my favorite places in the world and some of my best memories growing up are there, so I guess it is fitting that is the place where I choose to be the background of the pictures that I will cherish forever!  I'm a simple girl.
