Weekend - Sunday Part 3 Mother's Day

What a fantastic Mother's Day!!
We started out the day attending my Mom's church. My sister had been asked to speak about our mom. (Thank goodness the bishop only had her number) It was a very nice surprise for our mom when she walked in to see her family sitting there. She had no idea Cindy was talking in her ward. My sister had asked all of us to give her things about our mom which she incorporated very nicely into her talk. My mom is an amazing lady and I am truly grateful for all the sacrifices on mine and my children's behalf!We went up to honor Brett's mom on this her very special day. While we were there I decided to hold my first born - the one who gave me the opportunity to be a mother. He is getting a little big to hold on my lap but I gave it a valiant effort.
I love being a mom and I am truly grateful for the great kids I have!

We have a cool thing happening up at his parents. There is a Robin's nest chest high in one of their trees. We are trying to be super careful when we peek into the nest but we are excited to what will happen next. Hopefully we will get some pictures of tiny little robin's!
Mamma robin protecting her nest - she is not a lazy miss mazie!
Brett and his Mom - Brett is an amazing man and would not be who he is without his mom! I am so grateful for Rose and for the many things she does for us!
Me and my mom
Happy Mother's Day to 2 great ladies! We would not be who we are without them!!
Thanks MOM!!

Saturday Part 2-2

After the festivities of the wedding we headed out to a party with Brett's family to honor their Aunt. She turned 80. She looks amazing and to look at her would not guess 80 to be her age. It was fun to see relatives we have not seen in a long time. Maddy, Cole and Adam hanging out

Brett's cousin just had a baby and of course it ended up in Madison's arms. She would have held on to him all night if she could have!

They had a photographer available for us to have a family portrait taken and since it has been awhile we took them up. We tease that sometimes we are like the Lampoon's family and it takes us awhile to get situated.

Not a bad picture- We will have to see what the photographer's pic's look like

Thanks Adam for taking some for us!

They told grandma and grandpa to kiss and the rest of us really didn't want to see it so we covered our eyes. The little girls just thought the whole thing was funny. Cole looks utterly disgusted - teenagers :)

The Family

Ahh- I love my little family


All in all it was a great night spent with family!! (oh and no I did not take a picture of the birthday girl - Not a very smart move on my part)

Weekend - Part 2 - Saturday

What a beautiful day for a wedding. My nephew was married to his beautiful bride in the Oquirrh temple. What a great experience to be a part of. Being there with our family was such a great experience! My sister - Mother of the groom with her darling grandson Chase
Cute Josh (brother of the groom) I thought he did a great job of holding the flowers

Playing in the game room


and on the court


Chase he REALLY wanted to hold Hunter. He may have had a little too tight of squeeze on him but he loved it. It was nice to get to see Chase as well this weekend.



More game room play


We had a great time hanging out with family.

Madison's Last Dance Concert of the year

Dance Company had their final concert this last week. They have worked hard for these nights, after school practices, late night practices and all the practice at home paid off, they did a great job! Madison has loved participating on dance co this year and is also looking forward to next year.
All of Dance Co. just before they started their final concert together.



I had the opportunity to have dressing room duty on the final night and I just have to say I loved being with the girls. I had so much fun and was amazed at how quickly these ladies change. I thought they did an amazing job and the show was even better being backstage!


Every spare minute Maddy had this was what she would be practicing. It has paid off and she almost has them.
Madison is the farthest away. I took this from backstage.


I knew the girls would cry (this being the final time performing together) however, I didn't realize how much :) It was hard for me to keep my emotions in check watching all the these ladies crying and hugging each other. So much emotion and so many touch ups of make up!
