Wrapping up June!

June has been a super busy month for us. We had so many things going on, I am just glad that the Day Care is slow this time of year. Scott has been driving to Salt Lake everyday to work up at the Guard base. This was a wonderful blessing but such a long commute for him. Myllie had Mini Cheer this month and that kept us busy the first couple weeks of June. Ethan has just been hangin out with me. The Day Care hasn't been busy this summer but come the fall I will be completely full and super busy, with new born's! I usually do not take new born's but I am happy to make an exception this time. :-)  We have also been spending a lot of time together as a family in preparation for Scott's deployment. It gets harder on us each deployment. So here are some pictures from Myllie's Mini Cheer Spectacular.

Myllie waiting to perform......

Myllie was so excited that she could see us the whole time she was dancing!

This was Brooklyn's first year at Mini Cheer, she had fun and her dance was cute!

Myllie loves her cousin Alison, and wants to be a cheerleader when she gets older

Uncle Nick brought Myllie and Brooklyn flowers....very sweet!

Just the four of us...We are proud of Myllie she did such a good job!

We took the kids to the Art City Days Carnival and Parade.....They kids had a ball!

This was Myllie and Ethan's first time on a Roller Coaster....They loved it!

Myllie got to be in the parade with the Cheerleaders....Ethan waited very patiently to see her.

Alison.....with the Cheerleaders, she does the most amazing flips! Very cool to watch!

Since this was Brooklyn's first time Sam rode with her and Myllie

It was a chilly day for a parade, but all in all it was fun! We have had a fun month and July is looking like it is also going to be filled with lots of fun! We found out about a week ago that Scott has been dropped from the deployment this time, Yippee!! There is a slight chance he will go later this year, but for now we are just happy he doesn't have to go.

Old Pictures.....Wow Time Flys!!

I have been spending the last few days organizing all of my pictures on my computer. What a job! I did not know I had taken that many pictures. I love going through old photo's, they make me smile, laugh, cry, and miss loved ones who are no longer with us. I came across this picture of my beautiful little princess and I  wanted to share!

This picture was taken in the fall of 2008, Myllie was 5 years old. Myllie has certainly grown up a lot since then. This is Myllie in April 2010, she is 7 years old.

 Myllie is such an amazing little girl. She loves to sing, dance, draw, and ride her bike. She is a wonderful big sister and loves playing with Ethan. They get along so well. Myllie has a lot of the same personality traits that I had when I was a kid. She is always so happy and bubbly, which is how my parents describe me as a kid. In this picture in an old scrapbook, I am 5 years old.

I am told all the time how much Myllie looks like me. I guess everyone it right! Myllie does look a lot like me.

I absolutely love being a Mom! It is hard at times, but I wouldn't change it for the world. Myllie is so special to Scott and I. She is such a great kid, we are truly blessed to have her in our family!

Mini Cheer

Every year Springville High School cheerleaders host a Mini Cheer Clinic. Myllie started last year and absolutely loves it. They have big performance and get to be in the Art City Days Parade. My niece Ali just happens to be a SHS cheerleader, Myllie has a lot of fun with her. Here are a few pictures of Mini Cheer last year - June 2009 -.This year Brooklyn is old enough to join in the fun. Myllie and Brooklyn have there big Mini Cheer Spectacular this week and the parade on Saturday. I will post more pictures of these cuties later this week. Go SHS!

May kinda flew by.....

Well May flew by, and now we are into the second week of June! Crazy how fast this year is already flying by. The last few weekends we have been working in our yard a lot! I will post some pictures soon! We also have taken some time out to spend with our kiddo's.

Hogle Zoo....It started off kinda chilly and a little cloudy, but by the end of the day it was nice. Perfect day for the zoo.

Gettin a drink....I have a picture of me doing the same thing at Myllie's age.

Myllie & Ethan's favorite animal at the zoo was the cute little baby Elephant named Zuri.

They also got pretty excited about the Giraffe's....Ethan's silly face, to funny!

They also had a lot of fun at the park inside the zoo, it was a nice day and we had a lot of fun!

The kids were so exhausted by the time we got home, they slept very well that night!
