Life In My Shoes

During the day I can't help myself because I take a lot of pictures.  I do this for a couple reasons... 
1. Because my kids are really cute and 2. Because they do some funny things during the day that I have to have documented!  So the pictures below are what life in my shoes is like (besides the cleaning, changing diapers, cooking, etc.)


We go to Old Navy a lot.  They have been on a good streak and have had some really cute things for me and my kids.  Every time we walk in Drake has to say hi to his friend that is standing there and he has to pet the dog that is also sitting there and he usually says, "Hey there boy! You are a good dog!"  I don't have the heart to tell him that of course that dog is good because it is fake!



Drake also likes to to go Petsmart and see the animals.  He loves watching the dogs that are getting groomed.  He loves dogs, and asks pretty much every day if we can get one.  I just let him take his toy dog around and hope that will do for now!


We love eating lunch at Fredrico's.  It is a great place to meet friends and eat.  We usually meet Jordan or Annie and her kids here.  Drake asks every time to play this game.


We stop at my grandparents house at least once a week if not more.  I love going there and my kids love it even more.  Drake loves playing with the toys there and both of my kids faces light up when they see Grandpa and Grandma Great.  I am so grateful that we live close to them so that my kids can see them often and form a good relationship with them.  My kids adore them and this is our favorite stop during the week!  I talk to or see my Mom every day and I also talk to or see my Grandma too.  I am so grateful for the relationship that I have with them!!




I just love this girl!  She is so dang cute and one of the most fun things is dressing her!  


I love this guy!  He takes care of our family and is happy the whole time he is doing it!  


Then there is this kid!!  He is the best. He says the funniest things and makes me smile every day!


Grocery shopping is always a treat with two kids.  Drake either wants to sit in the car carts that are impossible to push around and I am sure I look ridiculous pushing it. Or... Drake wants to push his own little cart and he hits me in the back of the ankles the whole time!! 


Josh had a customer appreciation movie that he held at the theater.  He spoke for a few minutes and then they showed Iron Man 3.  I am so proud of him for all the hard work he does. He is really good at his job and everyone he works with love him. 


James taught Drake a trick to get rid of hiccups.  You are supposed to take a drink of water and look at the bottom of the cup and swallow and do that 3 times.  Drake gets the hiccups a lot and does the trick every time.  It is adorable that he remembers it and he claims it works every time!



We have been to the doctor a few times with sick kids.  Stella has gotten sick a few times and we have ended up in the InstaCare a few times.  Its so sad when she is sick, but she snuggles so good and looks so cute!




Drake always does a great job at the dentist.  He hasn't had any cavities and loves seeing Dr. Theurer.


I really have no idea what is going on here!


This is how church is every Sunday.  We are out in the halls with Stella or Drake the entire time.  Drake does great in primary and loves it but sacrament meeting is pretty rough!


We love going to Chick Fil A for lunch and for Drake to play on the toys. Drake's favorite part is trading his kids meal toy in for an ice cream cone.  But he has to do it all by himself!!




Love this girl and her curly hair!


Drake told me when we were at the store that he has ALWAYS wanted a bike with wheels!


Drake is a social little dude.  He talks to anyone and everyone and is always wanting to help too!




This kid is so sweet when he sleeps.  He has to fall asleep with a light on or he likes to come lay on Stella's floor while I rock her and he falls asleep there!



Drake loves his sunglasses and wearing tank tops.  He told me they feel good on his armpits!


Stella loves her daddy!


We have gone to the pool a lot lately and my kids love it.  Stella will just dive into the water head first.  She has no fear!



And last but not least, we spend a lot of time with friends and absolutely love the friends that we have!

Lauren Graduates High School


I can't believe that Lauren graduated from High School.  It feels to me that she should be a little girl still! She has grown up to be such a beautiful girl.  She is a good girl who has made awesome decisions and I just am so proud of her!



Graduation was kinda long and Stella did so good!


Chapman and Lauren



Love you little Sis!!

Memorial Day Weekend and Potty Training


Memiorial Day weekend was an eventful one.


We started potty training with Drake. He wanted to do it and told us he didn't want to wear diapers anymore be ausd diapers are for babies! He did really well and only had a few accidents!  I think because he was day for it he did a great job and it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be!


Drake painted this picture and then asked why the car on,y had one tire and why the dog only had one eye?  I had to explain what a profile was and now he understands.  Smart little stink!


We went tot he work with friends from our ward. 




We discovered that Stella LOVES mushrooms!! 



We went to church on Sunday and then drove over to Brigham for a BBQ at my Grandma's house with some of my Dad's side of the family.


Drake found a little water stream and he loved it!!




I love this cute boy of mine!



On Memorial Day we went with the Taylor's, Browning"s, James and Lexi, Lauren and Boston to the Brigham City pool.  It was so much fun!!



Stella also loves watermelon.


Hunter and Drake are the best of friends!


Monday night we went to my grandpa and grandma's house for dinner and just to hang out with family.  Stella got some new Pj's and I am in love with them!

It Is Park Season

We are so happy that spring and summer are here!  We have had some really fun days at the park with friends! Drake loves playing on the playground and I love hanging out and chatting with my friends!

Bear Lake Classic 2013


The Bear Lake Classic bike race was very cold and rainy this year!  It was still fun to go up and stay in Bear Lake and work at the race but it was very cold.



The kids stayed at my mom's house and then they came up to Bear Lake later that day and hung out. On Saturday night we went to the Taylor's cabin and had Dutch oven dinner and hung out with them!!


We saw a Moose on the way home.  It was really cool!
