Such a Good Helper

I was cleaning the house yesterday and Boden was my little helper.  He was so great to stick by my side all day and help me in each room.  I appreciated his help!!

Beckem's First Kiss

When I picked Beckem up from daycare on Friday his teacher said, "we had a little bit of an situation today" she then went on to tell me that she had to leave the room for something but the other teacher was in the room.  During that time, the other teacher looked over and say Lilly puckering up and Beckem kissed her.  She said that Lilly started it but Beckem just went along with it.  When we were walking out I asked him who Lilly is and he said, "oh she is a girl in my class with pink bows"  As we walked pass the gym he said, "oh Lilly is in there" I looked in the window and this little girl with big pink bows in her hair had her nose pressed up against the glass just watching Beckem.  When we got to the car I asked Beckem, "how come you kissed her" and he said, "well, she started to kiss me and I didn't want to be rude so I went along with it"  I was laughing so hard.  We then had a talk about how we don't kiss people in our class.  He is such a stud!!

I was getting him dressed for bed last night and he said, "you know what mom, I know why all the girls like me" I said, "you do" and he said, "yeah it's because you always make me look so handsome"  I seriously love him so much.  He is so sweet and so cute.  All of our boys are so dang cute. . . WE ARE IN TROUBLE!!

Kyson's Invention

Kyson had to invent something for school.  Kyson and Zac created a "mind reading" helmet.  They wired lights into the helmet.  It was pretty cool.  I love that Zac is so creative with the boys.  He is such a great Dad!!  

 Kyson also got "student of the month" again this year.  He got to go eat lunch with the principal and he received this award along with a book.  He was so excited.  

Silly Boys

Ella Turned One

Ms. Ella Bella Boo turned one on St. Patrick's Day.  She is so sweet and such a good baby.  We loved celebrating with her.  Sure do love my nieces and nephews.  

Craft Night

I LOVE craft night with these fun girls.  We always have so many laughs and so much fun

 

11 Years Together

Thursday March 10, 2016 was our 11 year anniversary.  We made a deal on our honeymoon that we would go to a new state every year.  We are planning our next trip this summer, but until then we just celebrated together here at home.  Thursday we hung out all day together, took Grandpa Thomas to lunch and went and watched Zac play church ball.  I LOVE just being with Zac, it doesn't matter what we are doing, we just have so much fun together.  Friday night I surprised Zac with a couples massage, dinner at Cheesecake Factory and the Jazz game.  We stayed overnight in Salt Lake and then went and enjoyed the UCAP (Utah Coalition Against Pornography) conference.  It was such a great weekend.  I love being married to my best friend.  It's AWESOME!!  

 

 I went out in the 4th quarter to go to the bathroom and I ran into this tall man. . . Thurl Bailey.  It was awesome 

 When they announced the UCAP conference this year I was SO EXCITED to hear that Elder Holland was the keynote speaker.  Zac was a good sport and we got there super early to try to get to sit as close to him as possible.  He is my ALL TIME FAVORITE apostle!!   After he walked in, I was getting these pictures of him and Zac said, just go say hi to him. . . so I did :)  I was able to go up and shake his hand.  It was so great.  We couldn't get pictures of me with him, but I was bad and snapped some of the back of his head.  ha ha

He gave such a great talk on Pornography and the effects it is having on our society.  So uplifting and encouraging.  If we keep working hard we can help fight this epidemic of the world today to raise a stronger generation!!    

My Piano

About a year ago we got a piano for free on KSL.  I was SO EXCITED when we went to get it.  I haven't had a lot of time this past year since I was finishing up school, but once I finished school I decided to take on my next project.  It's finally done and I LOVE it!!  I can't wait to get it tuned and start taking lessons :)  

Our little inventor

Beckem was playing down in the toy room and came up to show us these glasses that he made "without any instructions"  He was so proud of them.  He looked so cute in them, we were laughing.  He is such a fun kid!!  

"Thomas"

I love the time we get to go and spend with "Thomas".  The other day Krystal and the girls came and met up with us at lunch.  Ella was loving playing with Grandpa, it was SO CUTE!!  

 At preschool Beckem and Boden made these little chicks.  They came running out of school and were so excited to tell us that they named them "Thomas".  I said, really you named them Thomas??  and they said, yes because he has holes in his head.  Zac and I laughed so hard.  I love that my boys have a relationship with Thomas.  He is pretty special to all of us. . . holes and all ha ha
