Oh Spring...How We Love You....

It has been so nice being outside, enjoying the fresh air...and playing sports! We are so lucky to be able to participate in all of the base youth center activities. Because of his birthday, Carter misses most cut off dates for sports...well on base they actually start at the age of 3! So this is his second year playing T-Ball.

This year we're the Angels! Carter loves the color red, so this really made him super excited. I've been able to make it to two practices so far (I work until 5 so to have his practices start at five has made it really difficult for me to come)

We also got to get team pictures taken...I'll have the "real" one to post soon...but here's our version for now...

Watching these little 3 and 4 year olds play, run and try to hit the ball is seriously fun! I love watching not because it's funny (even though it is) but because this is what life is all about...

Scott and I are determined to make sure the boys get the stimulation, outlets and experiences that they need to be amazing guys when they grow up.

One of the new things that's been really fun for Scott and the boys is the extra "man" time they get to spend together. I work later than Scott everyday, so he picks the boys up from school. He has planned a few really fun "outings" for the three of them lately...one was going to Farr's Ice Cream.
Farr's is Scott's favorite place to get ice cream, so to pass this on to the boys has been fun. It's been really fun to hear about how much fun the three of them have without me. (Though I miss it sometimes, it's still really nice for them to grow up with these memories from their dad.)

I'm a Fat Cat....

It's official....I'm the new Events Manager for FatCats Ogden!

This position has been offered to me more than once, and this time around I was finally ready to take it. I love, love, love what I do! I'm truly made to socialize, party and plan events...while getting paid well to do so!

This position mean so many new things are coming my way: I get an assistant (that's right I'm no longer the assistant, I actually have one of my own) I have a team of hosts for the parties and I get to basically control my own destiny. I am the "big boss" for the Event Services department and absolutely LOVE it!

It also brings new things for our family, the boys will be in full time daycare...which was super hard for me to decide on. I found an amazing place where Carter gets full time preschool and some much needed consistency, while Brax gets to socialize and have a routine day. I can't wait for the consistency, routine and normalized world we soon get to live in finally.

One of the best things about this whole thing, is how much time I get to spend with my family of 4! We do so much more now as a family because it's all free!

Though working more hours is a bit taxing on me, the pre-cooked meals, consistency, and extra income is so nice! Here's to our bright future!

Carter Babe...

Carter is one amazing 4 year old! Scott and I never seem to get enough of this kid, and we can't wait to see the "man" he's going to grow up to be.

But until this little dude gets older, (and doesn't want to hang out with me anymore) he's one of my favorite people to hang out with.

Carter had his second Parent Presentation for his preschool the other day. Braxton and I were so excited to sit in the classroom, and watch our favorite 4 year old perform. And perform he did, it was awesome!

I am so proud of how much this little guy knows! He really works with music notes, piano playing, sign language, writing and reading. He loves school so much!

And seriously, what's not to love when you're this kid....

It's moments like this that really make me realize how blessed we truly are to have such an amazing boy!

Spring Is Coming...

It's the BEST time of year! I absolutely love spring and everything it brings!

One of my favorite holidays happens to be Easter, and to have an entire month of spring to celebrate makes me so happy! My mother-in-law happens to have her birthday the end of March, and of course I "had" to plan a craft for all of us to do.

Tom and Margaret came over to our house for dinner and our "Easter-Inspired" craft!

Being outside is one of my favorite parts of spring as well. My cousin from Arizona is staying with my mom because he's trying out for the Ogden Semi-Pro Soccer team. Carter has been super excited to "play soccer" with him all week! Beus Park is one of my favorite places to take the boys, Carter loves it too.....

Brax was introduced to the glories of riding your bike in the park...

Thanksgiving Point is one of my favorite places to take the boys, and I got an AMAZING deal on a family pass there this year! My "barn only" pass got upgraded for FREE!

Super fun this year with both of them being to independent...

Gotta love tractors and seeds....

Carter loves the horses, and as much I thought Brax would like them too, he really didn't...so we watched big brother....So fun! LOVE this month and all it's bringing with it!
