Church Selfie's

It appears we have made quite a bad habit of taking pictures of ourselves in church. I didn't realize we had so many that it made sense to throw them all in the same post. Hopefully we'll put our phones away and pay more attention to the lessons. Oops!

It is so fun to be in the same ward with Devin and Julianne! I love Ezra's big binky smile behind Vance passed out in Sheehan's lap. 

This is our old primary class in Pleasant Grove that Sheehan and I taught together. They were hilarious and extremely smart. I absolutely loved learning with them every week. They obviously didn't know this picture was being taken in the middle of Senior Primary Sharing Time. 

I braved going to church with the boys by myself. A sweet woman took pity on me and walked around with Vance for about 15 mins while I handled Lincoln. Vance never lasts long with anyone especially if I make eye contact with him. He only has eyes for his Mama right now. I don't mind it one bit. I'll take his dedicated love to his Mommy as long as I can. Someday he'll be too busy and grown up for Mom.  Love my boys!

Crazy Windstorm - Lehi April 13, 2015

 We experienced an out of control windstorm at our new house in Lehi. Thankfully everyone was okay. The only casualties was the back window of my car that was parked in the driveway and the brand new (installed that morning) gate on our fence.

The wind blew dust through the cracks in the front door. 

My broken back window. 

Our broken gate. :( 

Curious Lincoln's 3rd Birthday Party

We had a Curious George themed birthday party for our Curious Little Lincoln boy! Lincoln keeps us on our toes and likes to figure things out! He loves to fix his toy cars, play in the mud and dirt, and watch or read books about Curious George. He is still all boy and as busy as ever. 

He LOVES his Daddy and looks forward to Daddy coming home from work everyday. 

He loves to dance with his little brother Vance. 

His favorite foods: chicken nuggets, corndogs, cinnamon life cereal (he calls it Su-tae), apples, chocolate pudding, and Doritos chips. 

He loves to sleep in Mommy and Daddy's bed and usually comes running into the room around 3:00 am. 

He is happy to go to nursery so that he can play with all the toys!

He loves going to Ganno's (Grandma Bev's) house and he also loves his Gigi. 

All his friends are girls at the moment! haha

Lincoln, 

I love you so much and I am so grateful that Heavenly Father sent you to be our little boy. You made me a Mom which has been the most challenging but rewarding experience. I can't stand the thought of not having you in our family and love your happy personality and curiosity about the world around you. 

I love your snuggles in the middle of the night when you climb in Mommy and Daddy's bed and want to just hold our hand or put your arm on us to make sure we are there. I love when you give your little brother, Vance, kisses good night. 

I love when I put you in your bed and you ask, "Mommy, mo' scatch." and pat your back until I scratch your back. I love how you tell me to drive FASTER and then say "whoa mommy!". I love how you giggle as Daddy chases you around the house tickling you. You have a big heart, you make me laugh everyday, and you are so smart! I hope you always remember how much Mommy loves you!

Shanette & Larry's Wedding 4-25-15

Shanette married her high school sweetheart Larry Bernal on Saturday, April 25, 2015. Sheehan was so excited and proud to walk her down the aisle in place of their father David Thomson who passed away last year. Sheehan had a great time with all his family and was especially grateful for the time with Shanette. 

Sheehan met up with Colleen in Las Vegas during his flight layover. They flew together to Ontario airport.

I found this little gem on Facebook. Sheehan is in the very back row in the middle. Not the kids with the glasses. He has the bowl cut. :)

Jolley Ranch Camping With Family

We have been on the hunt to find areas in Utah to take the kids to that have nice camp sites and electrical/water hookups. We found Jolley Ranch campground up beautiful Hobble Creek Canyon and site #31 has a cool creek running through the back of it making it a perfect place to camp and let the boys play around in the dirt for a little while. 

There is also a cool playground just a short walk down the road for the kids to play!

 But their favorite thing to do is just dig in the dirt. 

 ....And all the yummy snack we bring when we go camping!

Easter Week 2015

Throwing it back to Easter when I was little with my favorite Peter Rabbit bunny that I still have!

Easter was so much fun this year. First we went with some friends and Julianne to a community Easter Egg hunt. Lincoln got about 2 eggs and it last about 20 seconds but it was still a fun experience that I haven't been able to do before with Lincoln. The past fews years I have had to work so Sheehan would take Lincoln to the egg hunts but this year Sheehan was working and I got be a part of the action! It was fun and festive. 

Despite the look on their faces they were excited. I made them hold hands because there was so much going on I wanted to make sure they stuck together. They are good buddies.

We went to the curiosity museum earlier in the week and Vance just adored these Rabbit faces that talked when you fed them. We played there for quite a while. Those rabbits were well fed. 

Easter Sunday we stayed home in the morning and watched conference. 

Lincoln's idea of watching General Conference is with his blanky, chips, and sitting high on his Car's chair. He was all set!

Lincoln being silly in Baby J's hat. 

The Easter bunny came to our house and the boys got lots of candy. Later we went to Grandma's house for the grandkids easter egg hunt.

 Aunt Michelle rented an awesome bounce house for the kids to play in. Even Lincoln joined in this time. He wasn't too much of a fan before but loved it this time around. 

Papi looks so much better with a little Haubit grandbaby in each arm. Julianne made that amazing Rapunzel wig for Baby J. She's never going to take it off. :)

Ezra boy looks so cute sitting with Grandma Bev. He's a happy boy!

 Lining up all the little kids getting ready for the egg hunt! 

Baby Vance woke up late on Easter morning so Lincoln helped pick up his candy from the Easter Bunny. Vance didn't seem to mind. He loved shaking the candy inside the eggs. Cute boy!
