Fun, Friends, Awards, Tee Ball, Party, Silliness, Friends & Beauty!

Life just keeps moving forward. We have tee ball 3 days a week, Josh has scouts once a week, and I seem to have something once a week for my relief society calling. The fun never ends!
Most of my days are spent with these two little girlies of mine. We love having pj days, but haven't had very many lately. Scarlett LOVES playing any and all games. She is constantly asking me to play a game. Mckinley usually causes trouble, but we make it work. 
We had a day where my house was the boys house and Mel's house was the girls house for a play date. I got to have these 3 boys over and they loved it.
Mo, Ryan, Mckinley, Payton, Austin
Like I said tee ball is 3 days a week so we spend a lot of our time at the park.
 Scarlett received her first game ball for doing such a great job at being the catcher.
Payton's school had their 2nd trimester awards assembly so the girls and I went. Thats him sitting with his class in his maroon sweater vest. (which he LOVES)
Payton received an award for being responsible. 
He is such a great student and I am very proud of the boy that he is becoming. 
Being the catcher is a very popular position! Payton also loves playing catcher. 
Scarlett on 3rd base.
Payton went to his first friend from school's birthday party. I got to go also and tag along for the night. He loved it. He just ran around with his friends and they had such a blast. He was mostly excited to see his school friends outside of school.
Mckinley is growing and starting to think she can do anything. She watches her brother and sister pull the stool up to the pantry and open it. That is what she was attempting to do here.
Sour cream is a true love in this family. Each of my kids LOVE to eat it. Mckinley loves to also rub it all over herself.
She thought it was the best thing ever!
These two pictures bring so much joy into my heart. Candace and I met our freshman year of college at BYU-Idaho. We have been close friends ever since. She is definitely someone I will always be friends with. Our friendship is based on long distance. She lives in Idaho with her family and I am here in California. We hardly talk on the phone, but we keep in touch every so often. I am blessed because she has a sister in law that lives close to me here in CA and once a year Candace and her kids make a trip out. This insures us that we will see each other at least once a year. She and I have been through so much together. We have watched each other grow so much. We attended each others weddings. Scott and Josh are pretty similar so its a shame that we can't live closer. Such is life. I will just hold onto and cherish our yearly visits. I am honestly very blessed to have such amazing friends in my life.
These are our kids. They get along really well together. I love it!
Reagan (4), Scarlett (4), Mckinley(1), Chase(6) and Payton (6)
Scarlett always insists that I take a picture of she and Mckinley when they sit and snuggle together. I love that they love each other so much. I hope they are always close. 
Tulips make me happy! I planted these beautiful flowers back in the winter. I had forgotten I even planted them in the backyard. When they started to come up I was thrilled. Everyday I look out my back window and just smile because these flowers are beautiful. I am so thankful for such beauty that we can see in this world.
