HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!

I just wanted to give a shout out to my dad on Father's Day. I love him so much and am so happy that he is my dad. He has always done anything for me and I know that he would still do anything for me. He works so hard and I appreciate him so much. He is such a great example to me.
5 Things I love about my dad:
1. When I ride in the car with him my blood pressure goes up so high because he is a crazy driver.
2. He used to braid my hair for me and was so good at it that it would give me and my sister a headache because it was so tight.
3. He does whatever my kids say even if he doesn't want to.
4. He has a tender heart and cries as easy as I do.
5. He is such a hard worker and is always working whether it is at his job or at home on jobs my mom gives him:)

Love you DAD! HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

These are just some fun pictures playing in the backyard. Will got a bug catching net and Halle decided to wear in on her head. Then, we turned on the sprinklers and they ran around and tried to spray me with water. Will really likes playing baseball and he is actually pretty good so we have been practicing in the backyard. He wants to sign up for some T-ball. I can't wait to sign him up and be able to go watch him. He really needs some soccer to get his energy out. Halle is a little cold in that picture probably because it was like 50 outside! What crazy kids I have:)

Summer so far!

Halle playing outside!!

Once again I have been a bad blogger lately, but I haven't been in the mood. So,I will tell you a few things we have been up to. Living at Brooks' dad's house has actually worked out really great so far. We are loving Salt Lake. I hope they will continue to be able to stand us through the summer. Will got so many new toys for his birthday that I am not quite sure how we are going to get them back to Spokane. He got a sweet Spiderman bike that he loves and of course his "guys" as he calls them (Spiderman, Hulk, superman etc.). He got one of those V-smile toys and he calls it a he-smile. It is so funny. I tell him what it is every time, but he insists on calling it that. Halle is getting so big. She repeats everything we say. I love her sweet voice and I hope it never changes. Brooks is really enjoying his internship. He does a ton of interesting things. He gets to observe a ton of cases and goes to different detention centers to meet with other Judges. He got to go with the Parole officers last week and he thought that was really interesting. He came home from work and decided to mow the lawn for his dad, but he didn't have any old shoes to do it in so his dad found an old pair for him and this is the outfit that came out of it. Pretty sweet I know:) Today, I got to go get a pedicure with my mother-in-law and then we went and then we all went and ate at the Mayan. Halle loved it soooo much. She was so serious about it. She didn't stop watching the divers. It was so cute. We went to Logan for Will's birthday, but we stayed this weekend (too much to get done:( We are having so much in Utah and I hope it goes by really slow:)

SWEET SHOES+SOCKS:)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WILL

Today is Will's birthday and I wanted to tell everyone how great he is. He has been such a joy in our lives and we love him soooo much.
A few facts about Will:
1. He always wakes up happy. That is his nicest time. That is when I ask him to do things because he will actually do them:) (It is pretty nice)
2. He has a pillow case that he loves and he calls it his soft pillow. He can't sleep without it. We have had it since he was 6 months old and it is pretty worn out and I am a little worried what we are going to do if it wears out!
3. He still sucks his thumb, but only at night:)
4. He is such a good boy to his sister. He always goes up to Halle and gives her a hug and says I love you.
5. His favorite food is pizza.
6. He can write his name, write his numbers and letters, and is trying to learn how to read.
7. He hate clothes as everyone probably can tell!

I just love him so much and am so sad he is already 4. Time flies when your having fun I guess. wish I could slow down time sometimes, but we enjoy every minute together.

Pictures from the week

What a crazy week we have had. I have been trying pack all our stuff this week. I got most of it done even with the kids pulling things out of the boxes as I pack them. Our apartment is a mess and it is driving me crazy. Brooks got his finals done today YEAH!! We are so excited to have dad back.

We got to end our crazy few weeks with a great BBQ. We got together with a bunch of friends to have a good old BBQ. It was so fun. We have made some great friends. This is a picture of all of us without husbands or kids. We got more pictures but I need to get a copy from my friends. We ate and got to visit without having to worry about school. It was great!!

Our messy apartment!

My cutie driving the 4-wheeler around our messy apartment.

Halle trying on all the clothes I am trying to pack away for the summer all at the same time. She kind of looks like a linebacker.

We have started packing to come back to Utah and have got quite a bit done. Brooks is down to 2 more finals and then we are heading back. We are super excited to see family and friends back in Utah:) This last week we went to Chuck E Cheese and I actually remembered my camera, which never happens! So, here is some picture of our day there. Those are some of their friends. 1 week from today and we will be home:) p.s. HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO

5 years, 2 kids, and way too much school time:)

Today was our anniversary and what a lame day we had:( Just kidding Brooks spent the day studying for his finals. He wants to celebrate it after finals are over. He said we are going to have to celebrate it after finals every year until we graduate. So I am going to change our anniversary to May 13 for the next 2 years YEAH! 5 years has gone by so quickly and I am glad I have gotten to spend it with my best friend. He is such a hard worker and is studying so hard right now and I hope it all pays off for him in the end. I just want to tell everyone how great he is and how much I love him and appreciate him! Happy anniversary/happy finals!
