I love being a mom!

I love being a mom!


Makayla loves to ride her bike. Now that the weather is so nice out she wants to be outside practically all day long. It takes bribes such as "lunch" just to coax her inside for 5 minutes!

Oh to be a carefree kid again! This time of year was always the best when I was a kid. My birthday was just around the corner, school was getting out any day now, and I would ride my bike all the way until bedtime since the sun goes down so late.
On the flip side I would love to have a talk with Mr. Sun about his timing this time of year! I would tell him to try to go to bed a little earlier on work nights. Makayla gets so confused why we are putting her to bed when it is still light outside. I'm glad Mac still has energy at 9pm, cause I am plum tuckered out!

There is something magical and revitalizing about watching kids run through the streaks of warm sunlight. They use their arms as airplane wings and the world is truely thier oyster.

Saturday was the most amazing day we have had in a long time. The weather was so nice, still cool, but NO JACKETS necessary! On Friday Makayla learned how to ride her trike! I was so proud of her! I can't believe how fast she is growing up sometimes! We will be such a great big sister!






















Hola! Wekcome to our pictures of the Mexican Rivera Cruise trip! We had such a great time with all the people from my work. There were 14 of us all together including my boss and his twin brother. We had so many fun adventures and lots and lots of sunshine! It was nice to see the sun since we have not had much of any this time of year back in Utah.
The Zip lines were the greatest part of our whole trip. It was so much fun to go flying through the trees and over the river. I can't believe how beautiful it was. I can't wait to go do it again.











Janel Mikaela and I had a great time out on the dance floor on the ship!

























Yep, that is a long way across. 1200 ft across and 800 down!

I am aware that my helmet is sideways! No I am not retarded.

























Here is the whole gang!











































These two pics crack me up because Janel and I look so drunk and we were just having juice! haha the hats are so big we could not see out from under them!







We got to see so many amazing whales! At least 7 total,
including 3 babies.













Cabo Wabo!













During a fiesta on the ship, Cody jumped into the freezing ocean water pool fully clothed!

Happy Valentines Day!
Today I appreciate my daughter for all she is to me and
my husband. I can't imagine a world without her smile.
