“I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out.”

Batting Practice

It's been a dream of mine to coach my girls in softball because some of my favorite memories are my parents' coaching me. I don't know if we will do softball with Sienna and Sadie because of timing and how much they love soccer, but we still have fun hitting the ball together at the park. Summer is finally here and it can't last long enough!

Movie Night

The kids are enjoying their summer break and freedom of schedules and strict routines. They all decided to watch a movie together as a family and then sleep in the same bed. My heart can barely handle that these five are mine. I love my children so much and feel forever blessed and spoiled that I get to be their mom.



Sadie's Testimony

I love finding little treasures like these in the church bag or kids' rooms.

Girls' Night

Sienna, Sadie, and I decided we wanted to go on a girls' night out. We decided on Color Me Mine and followed that with some yummy Chinese food. Sadie wasn't as thrilled about the cuisine choice, but she ended up liking it. I love our time together and we need to find reasons to go out the three of us more often. Plus my fortune was pretty comforting: "you deserve respect and will eventually get it."

Ready for Summer







End of School Fun

Both of the girls had end of school parties for their class. I'm glad they had such good experiences this year with their teachers and classmates. They both made really good friends. Luckily for Sadie, her best friend is in our ward. Sad for Sienna, her best friend, Bela, isn't and since we are moving schools they won't be together next year. We are both so sad about it.

Swim Lessons

We have a family council every Monday night. To start the night, we talk about our plans for the upcoming week. For weeks and weeks when it is their turn to tell us their weekly plans, Tanner and Abby always say, "and we have swimming lessons." I finally decided to make their wishes their reality and they started lessons with one of our all time favorite people @erikahaw. It was so much fun seeing them back in the pool. We are all soooo ready for summer to officially begin on Thursday! #onepartmonkeyonepartfish








I was going to write a mini blurb on this crack up of a kid, but I'll save it for her birthday in a few weeks. With that said, how is she turning FOUR this month? She is definitely ready and has been for a long time, but I don't know if I am. #abigaildana #lovehersomuch #funniestgirlaround #cutesttoo
