Our Happenings...

-Trent got an early bday present this year, well the whole family did. We bought a 2013 Polaris RZR. It has four seats and is perfect for the whole family. Trent and I had been talking like we wanted to get one. However, I thought we would look around a little longer. lol. Trent called me and told me he was getting a great deal from a dealer and didn't want to pass it up. I gave him the go ahead and now we have one that looks like this in our garage. Ok my first thoughts were holy expensive what have we done and then we went on ride after ride after ride. And now we get in it almost daily. Yep I am coated with sand, dirt and wind in that thing and we really like it. The girls love it too. The first time we went on a ride. Lyla yells: "This is the best thing ever!!" And they put her hands up in the air on every hill. So, in a nutshell YES it is pricey but so worth it:)

-I have been having a blast with my sister Kylee living down here. I love having a sibling in town and tell my hubby that he is so lucky so have all of his family in one place. We decorate, eat, and play with our kids together:) 

-Over Mother's Day I woke up to this in my front room: 

I was stoked I have been wanting this bike for some time now. Total surprise. My Trent knows me really well:) I love to ride is by myself when I can go as fast as I want to:) 

-I have made the choice to become serious with potty training Lyla today. Not forcing just encouraging. She went potty twice, wore panties and felt proud of herself. One step at a time I guess.

-Evelyn is getting her very first friend party tomorrow. I am excited and I know she is too. We are having a generic (not Disney) princess party. Her 5 friends will come dressed in princess attire and get their pics taken, play fun games and well just have fun together. Audrey Lytle is making the cake and I know it will be marvelous! Pics to come soon.

-I have still been busy with pics and my Pilates class. I recently dropped my Sat. class. Ok best decision I have ever made. I have so much more time with my family and love not being tied down for my Sat. class ya know? Ahhhhhhh it feels great. 

Finally A Post...

1) Trent and I made it to the temple. I even missed Pilates for it. It is always hard for me to cancel a class but I knew I was supposed to be there that day. The day before I called and called and called to find a ride so I could ride home with Trent. He was going to be working there already, and I wanted to turn it into a date night, cause those are rarely seen around here ya know. Well, I had no luck getting a ride so I thought I would just stay home and Trent would go. I took the girls to Inside Scoop and gave him a call telling him I couldn't go. After I was sad, I got teary eyed I really wanted to go there. I had been having a hard day and knew the temple would bring me comfort. By the time the girls and I were done eating. Trent called me with a great surprise that he got off work early and got his brother Ty to go to a meeting he had to go to for the company. I was soooooooooo excited. We gave Teresa Jones a ride in our ward and we had great company for the trip there. I have to give Trent a pat on the back because he drove to and from Vegas twice yesterday:) Our temple trip was amazing, we got to be the witness couple in our session for the first time ever, and we have been married for 6 1/2 years, our session was super small and personal. And we got to spend so much time in the Celestial Room by ourselves it was so neat. I am so grateful for my church and temples for us to go to as well. We finished off the night with dinner at a fabulous place. A Mexican Restaurant called Viva Zapata's. OH MY HECK amazing. Really good food, and the best service I have ever had while eating out. Bravo !! We were both convinced that was our new fav after temple place ya know;) Thanks to Maddy Messer babysitting the girls had a blast too.
2) I have been swamped with photo shoots and editing. I love taking pics but finding the time to edit is tough. However,  I love seeing the end result and being so proud of what I captured.
3) Jacob and his wife Kelli along with their son Liam came to visit Logandale this past weekend. They currently live in Michigan and it was good seeing them. I really missed my brother, it had been a whole year since last seeing him.
4) I just cut out my Sat. Pilates class, Trent and I discussed how it would give us more time together, and make me less tied down and stressed with my 4 classes. I know people may be bummed or upset about it . But I realized I have to take care of myself and my family too. Here is to Saturdays!!!
5) Ty is doing great on his mission and is close to hitting his one year mark. He is truly an amazing person and we miss him dearly.
6) I finally feel like my house is cute, after lots of decorating and much money spent, I love my entry room and family/living room. Decorating is fun, expensive, and addicting:)
7) Michael Buble came out with a new CD that I am in love with. In love!!! Have been listening to it all week long.
8) I am currently working on the Primary Presentation for 2013 and stressed out once again. This will be my third program I am in charge of. UHHHH hope it can be my last for a while it is tough.
9) Lyla is getting more needy and attached by the day. She needs a sibling badly.
10) I register Evelyn for kindergarten next week, we also have been planning her 5th bday party too. I can't believe how big she is getting. :(

** The girls got to go ride the Bush's horse and had a blast. this is my fav pic I have taken of them in a long time. They were glowing up there. Ahhhhh I love them so much.
