4th of July 2014

 4th of July is a favorite holiday around here cuz the cousins come into town!  It was extra fun this year cuz they even came and stayed at our house for 5 days while the girls went to BYU soccer camp!  We loved having them at our house and spending every second together that we could!  Here is one of the many benefits of having uncle Zach around!

 We of course hit up our hometown parade and carnival!  We had a great two weeks with them and did so many fun things!  Went to the museum, lake, swimming, and everything that we could fit in!

JUNE 2014

 June came and went way too fast!  Scott traveled a ton but managed to be home most weekends for Saturday and Sunday and was home for Father's Day.  We spent the days playing in the warm sun and enjoying summer!  Blakely did a little cheer camp with some neighbor girls and had dance to keep her busy!  Summer is passing way too quickly!

MAY 2014

May is always one of the most busiest months, but it's also turning out to be my favorite!  We have school graduations, dance performances, and all the things you get to see your kids accomplish!  Blakely is so loved and everyone always supports her in all that she does and this girl wants to do it all!  I feel so grateful for being her mom and watching her grow up into a beautiful little girl who is always smiling!   

 Spring tradition of watching our caterpillars turn into butterflies!

 Preschool graduation and going off to Kindergarten!

 Her final dance performance of the season!

APRIL 2014

 Scott's 32nd birthday:  Scott's not into birthday's too much but we always enjoy having a family Sunday dinner!

 Dad got what he wanted for his birthday and we went to the sand dunes for a razr ride!  It was a great family day together!  

 Every night before bedtime the kids have enjoyed playing on the tramp and wrestling with Scott.

 Our ward does the cutest easter egg hunt that the kids enjoyed.

 Easter morning is always something I look forward to.  I love collecting things for the kids and their favorite present by far was WOW cup!  Blakely got so excited that she had a cup that didn't spill out of all things!

 Since I had the kids in their easter best for church, I got some pics of them!  They were being so freaking adorable with each other and I'm so glad we took the time for it!  

 We headed down to Grandma's on Easter Sunday and had the usual Bell easter egg hunt!  It was a hit and they love playing with their cousins.

 Blakely joined me on a photo shoot at the orchard so I had to snap some of her even though it started to rain on her!  

Dad's 60th Birthday Party!!!

 No one is more deserving in this world than my dad.  My mom did a great job planning his 60th birthday party and it was very special!  My favorite was we all came up with 60 reasons why we love him.  It was adorable!!!

 This is one Grandpa that is super involved with his grandchildren.  I appreciate how everything is about the kids and he is willing to get down and dirty with them.  He never complains and is going swimming, jumping on the tramp for hours, holding, feeding, putting kids to bed, and sacrificing his body to be a horse.  He's truly adored and I'm so grateful that especially Jett has a great man to look up to.  Jett's favorite person his Grandpa and my dad worked hard to get his love and that is who he wants at all times.  

 My mom is smart and had the party at the dance studio.  The kids had a big party after doing gymnastics and dance to music.  Great plan!
