T-ball and babies

Jesse played T-ball this year. Halle isn't old enough so this was just Jesse. It was one of the cutest things I have ever seen. These kids are just the cutest!

Jesse just waiting on base (this was his first game and he was very unsure of what to do)

My cousin Shea's baby Emery. She is such a cutie and a good baby (she lets all of us strangers hold her and she doesn't cry unless she's hungry)

Dancing and firemen

In April, Halle had her final dance recital as well as a dance competition. Her dad escorted her onto the floor at her recital and danced with her. She has gotten so good at dancing this year and she really liked having Gracie in her class and Miss Melanie as her teacher.

Marilee made a cake for Halle for doing good at her competition in Parowan. The face Halle's pulling is a classic Halle face (always followed by uncontrollable giggling)
He looks like the real thing doesn't he?

Updates soon - I promise!

So these past 2 months have completely gotten away from me. As soon as I decide to find the time to sit down and upload my pictures, I will update this magical blog (within the next couple of days). Stay tuned!!

Thankful for my health

A good friend has struggled with prescription medication addiction for a little over a year. 9 months ago, he was in a very severe car accident and has been trying to get back to "normal" for these past 9 months. About 4 weeks ago, he suffered a heart attack and a seizure due to an overdose of pain medications. He was in a coma for 13 days and has just recently started to wake up and respond to commands from his family and doctors. Please keep Nate in your prayers as he has a long road to recovery.

A good friend and co-worker went in to have a hyserectomy several months ago and they discovered cancer in her uterus. She has undergone chemo and radiation and has been super strong throughout the entire process. She is definitely not out of the woods yet and my heart breaks for her each day that she has to suffer.

Today, I found out that another good friend and co-worker as been in very serious condition at the hospital after having a stomach infection that has forced her to be on continued dialysis as well as have several surgeries in the past week. I knew she had been out "sick" from work, but had no idea how serious her illness was. I read her family's blog with updates about her and it sounds like she is working her way back to her old personality which is very good news!

We miss both of these amazing women at work and pray each day for their speedy recoveries. Nate has a very long road ahead of him - not only to recover from the damage of the overdose, but to overcome the addiction that he will fight every day for the rest of his life.

Please be sure to tell those that mean the most to you just how much you love and care for them. Things can change in a heartbeat and you never know how much time you have left. Live each day to the fullest and have no regrets.

Bull riding with Chandler

Ok, so the title is a little misleading. The bullriding actually took place with the wii. One person gets to be the bull and one gets to be the rider. The kids LOVED it and really liked having Chan help them out.

Jess got a big thrill out of beating Chandler a couple of times.

Before they started playing, Chan went out to his truck and found one of his old numbers from when he rode bulls. He pinned it on Jesse's vest and you'd have though Jesse won the lottery!

Dancing Queen

Halle had her big dance performance the other night at the Selgae Spectacular. She was pretty nervous to dance in front of that many people so she's all business in her pictures. She did a really good job and looked soooo cute in her costume!

Once she got to our house and got her hair taken out, she was all smiles and the happy little girl we love!

Superbowl Sunday

I spent Superbowl Sunday with some good friends from work. Shylo was nice enough to host this "gathering" at her house and we had a great time with our mardi gras beads! So glad the Saints won! Thanks for the good time girls!!
