Helicopters & Airplanes
The Temple (Really he freaks out in a good way every time we pass it!)

Being anywhere Mama  is
Asking "Where we going"
Bankey Ni Nights (the name of his blanky)
hot dogs
 & Cuddling.





We had a family party, with some pizza, watermelon, birthday cake and some fun balloon games.  It was a fun night of celebrating Ty.

 Typical Chase                         



His superman cake and cupcakes I am not a cake decorator!  But it sure tasted good!




This boy is adored!!







Riley did a project on him for school.I added this picture just to show much he has progressed in this past year!


First Days of School 2014

I love  the beginning of the school year.  For many reasons,,, but one big one is I get to take my girls out on back to school dates, and they get to choose some new school clothes,  My girls were persistent that they get dresses for the first day.  They are simply beautiful to me in every way!!''


Riley 3rd Grade


 Chloe 1st Grade

Both girls in front of their new school



(and last but not least, we were able to get this guy started on his education)
 Chase 3 year old preschool

Our first few weeks in Arizona

Our Drive to Arizona finally as a whole family!




We drove in on  Sunday, and the very next day, we went to visit the spectacular Gilbert Temple




Here are pics of our "Vacation Home"  well, it was just our apartment, but they had some very cool amenities.  Like this huge tv with free xbox and wii



And 2 really fun pools, and a splash pad, and park
We pretty much just swam and swam and swam the summer away!










 And a giant patio that Ty and Chase would play in
A low counter that my boys could play on constantly, I totally loved that!!
And our new home in the Desert!

Summer 2014

We had a very different summer than normal this year!  We moved from Texas to Arizona right in the middle. My 3 older kids were gone from me for 2 weeks!!  That is a long time.  They spent the first part of those weeks traveling with Aunt Keri, she took them to help out with our move.  They visited Roswell New Mexico to check out all that Alien stuff, then Aunt Pat Price (My mom's sister)  Where they enjoyed seeing a baby bat, and a giant scorpion!  Then they swung by some old family friends house, Jason and Melissa Jordan.  And then finally made their way up to St. George and my parents.  We flew out a week later, and spent 3 weeks there.  So my kids were gone from home for a total of 5 weeks....crazy!

We had a blast!  Julie an James were coming back from England after 4 years being gone, and so we had a lot of stuff we wanted to do with them!

Here are pictures of our summer fun in Utah
