Mya's first year of swim lessons

Mya did her first swim lessons at the Payson pool. Her teacher was a young man from our ward. She made so much progress she goes under water now when before she would cry if she got water in her eyes. She is growing up so fast! my heart filled with joy seeing her accomplish what she did. I love her!

Venna's funeral and visiting the gmas graves

Venna Robinette was a dear neighbor that lived right across the street from me in Franklin. She had the prettiest hair and the prettiest flowers, the smartest parakeet, tons of cats and I loved riding my bike around her sidewalks and looking at the old outhouse in her backyard. She was in her 90s when she passed. What a sweet lady she will be missed and I am so grateful I made it to her funeral.

April's happenings….

April has gone by way too fast! I am enjoying very much the ages of my children. They are so active and fun, Mya is slightly sassy but also has a sweet side, Baylor is hilarious and animated  but he can also be stubborn. Dean has been working so very hard on the backyard, and I must toot my own horn, that I have too. 

We have had some distressing news about a couple of neighbors that has put into perspective the blessings in our lives. Dean and I have spent a few nights after the kids are in bed on the front porch talking. We talk about everything from the yard and our 5 year plan to our marriage and the kids and the gospel. We are so blessed and I know I get caught up in what the "jones's" are up to and forget how much we really have. We are so so blessed! I love Dean and Mya and Baylor and would be lost without them.

*Mya loves lemons!! like mother like daughter

*Dean with his buddy Russell Ward (we went to his wedding in Logan) and dustin Hansen

*Baylor enjoying an apple while we shoot clay pigeons-jaxon came and he is way good

*Baylor and his toy horse he named, BahBoo (which means Nauvoo-Gpa's horse's name)

*Baylor the little man getting a hair cut

*Mya is my little helper when it comes to my flowers

*Baylor and Mya in their church clothes

*Baylor and Mya having a picnic on the play place

*I finally made a successful batch of white/wheat bread

*my handsome hubby mowing the lawn and Mya being silly

(I also got a video clip of Mya doing a cartwheel!! she doesn't land it every time but she has it down pretty good)
