1st Grade Here We Come!!

Kolby and Mallorie's Kindergarten Graduation...... I can't believe how fast it went by.
I'm not sure where my kids get their cheesiness from. Must be from their father.

Another New Nephew!!!

This is my brother Phillip's new baby boy, Cole. I'm a little late getting these pictures posted, but he's the latest addition to our family. Our family is getting so big. I've got a ton of nieces and nephews now! I think Cole is so cute. He reminds me of Phillip when he was a baby. I can't wait to see him.

Yellowstone and Mallorie's First Dance Recital

I can't believe how close we got to the wildlife.
"Excuse me Mr. Buffalo."
This was amazing! Worth the wait since it wasn't so faithful.

Kolby, Papa, and Mallorie in Jackson Hole.
(I had to sneak this picture. My parents hate to be photographed.)

Mallorie and her BFF, Kirsi.
"A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes" (I hate my camera!!)
Mal Mal at home, posing before the show.

We are so proud of Mallorie. She had her dance recital the other night and she did so well. She knew all her dance steps, and I think she enjoys performing a little bit too. Grandma and Papa came from AZ for a visit and to see the recital. My dad had a good time playing the Wii, bowling and golf mostly. I don't think he had ever played before. After they left to go back home, his shoulder was even sore from playing so much! My mom and I had fun shopping for watches and I also introduced her to Bajios. She loved their salads and the mango salsa. We also let the kids ditch school one day so that we could go to Jackson Hole and Yellowstone. It was so much fun, and I'm really glad that we got to go. I had never been to Old Faithful, and it was amazing! I'm also really glad that my parents were able to come out when the weather was nice.

Happy Easter!!

So, I know I'm a little late, but I thought some of these pictures turned out really cute of the kids decorating eggs and doing their egg hunt. I also had to show off their new hats and aprons from their Aunt Tracie. She made them herself. She is so talented when it comes to sewing, scrapbooking, card-making, well pretty much any craft. I wish I had half of her talent.

Spring Break in Arizona

Drea and me at Fajitas. It was so fun getting to visit.
Kolby and Trevor playing outside. The kids wanted to play outdoors all-day long.
Yes, Trevor has on Mallorie's purple Crocs.
Kora is such a mommy's girl, but I did manage to hold her and get her to sleep. I guess I must have the magic touch.
Kora has the cutest dimples.
A Storie Sandwich.

We're Getting the Heck Out of Dodge

All my bags are packed.......

I'm ready to go.
I'm ready for some sunshine!

Arizona, here we come!!

Desert Pictures

We had a wonderful time in AZ. It was great seeing friends and family, and the weather was so terrific that we weren't really ready to come home. You would think that a week is long enough, but it just isn't long enough to see everyone and do all that you want. While we were there, Kilee's friend took some pictures of the kids out in the desert. I thought they turned out pretty cute. I just wish that we could have had more smiles. I think Kolby and Mal were really tired, though. Apparently we wore them out with all of the fun we had.
