Finally an ETERNAL Family!!!

Our big day was awesome! It was so beautiful! The kids were so cute dressed in their white clothes and looking so innocent. We had a lot of support from friends and family and it has been wonderful to see all those who care so much about us. Thanks to all of you! It was a very busy weekend for us -Dale and Suzanne had their open house Friday, Saturday we all went to the temple and then a nice dinner and Sunday Dale and Suz had their mission farewell. It has been really hard to have them gone and we miss them LOTS!

Last Day of School


We were excited for summer vacation to begin but also sad to leave friends and awesome teachers behind! Tylie had the most wonderful teacher this year! Tylie was excited to go to school everyday; it sure makes it easier to send your kids off on the bus when you know they are being taken extra good care of! I was able to go a several field trips with Tylie's class during the year and also came into the class each Monday to help with math. I looked forward to that time each week!



This is another turkey hunt we went on. Ty went hiking by himself while the kids and I played by the truck. The kids really enjoyed all the cool gates, stumps, fences, etc.

First Turkey Hunt


Ty bought a turkey tag and Crey wanted to go hunting with him so he put on all his camo, grabbed his binos and was out the door with a huge grin on his face. I forgot to take a pic before they left and I couldn't wait for him to come home so I could get a picture and hear how the big hunt went. I heard them pull in so I went outside to meet them. Crey was just waking up! He had fallen asleep before they even got out of town! I didn't quit get the picture I wanted but it's still cute!

Another Easter Celebration





We were able to get together with Ty's family for Easter the weekend after Easter weekend. We went over by Gunlock. When we arrived the wind was blowing really hard and it was cold but about a half hour later it warmed up and we ended up getting sunburned and having a really good time. The kids had another Easter egg hunt and was able to score a bunch more candy. We tried catching a fish but didn't have any luck. Maybe next time! :)

Easter







We went behind Toquerville to have an Easter picnic and Easter egg hunt with my family on Easter Sunday. The weather was beautiful so we were able to get plenty of sun. The kids found lots of eggs full of candy and our lunch was really yummy! We all love to get together outside in the warm sun! The day ended bad when Tylie fell through the 4-wheeler ramps and cut her leg open clear to the bone. We had to take her to Insta-Care in Dixie to get her all stitched up. She was so brave; the doctor told her she was a tough country girl. I wanted to scream and cry watching what they were doing to her leg but I was able to be tough too! We walked out of there with 18 stitches! I couldn't believe it took so many. We are watching it now for infection and hoping the skin won't go dead! They had to cut out a lot of skin and tissue. The Doc tried to save as much skin as possible but told us some of it may die and turn black. I looked at it this morning and it is a little more black than yesterday so I'm getting a little worried. She has to go have a doctor look at it tomorrow or Wednesday and I'm hoping for good news!

Mission Call

Dale and Suz (my parents-in-law) received their mission call a couple of days ago. They will be serving in the Rapid City, South Dakota mission and will be leaving on May 4th. We are excited for them and will miss them tons while they are gone. They will serve for 18 months. I am so glad we set our date to go through the temple for April 25th so they will be able to go with us! It wouldn't have been the same without them! What an exciting time for our family:)
