Year 2014 in Review & all the mushy stuff in between

Well, another year has come and gone & I got to tell ya this year 2015 just might be the Best year yet for us :)  Rather than doing a little Flipagram slide show, I decided to write a blog. I wanted to show ya some fun highlights of the past year. 


The first of which being at the beginning of the Year we went to Nitro Circus!  Peyton LOVED it.  Can't wait to go back again in May. :)
At the beginning of the year we got this picture taken at Fotofly.  Still the sweetest picture I've ever seen in my life.  seriously.  Can't believe this picture is a year old!
Us girls did our 3rd annual park city trip
We headed to Saint George with the kids in February :)

We went on a BAHAMAS CRUISE!  I feel like it's not so much the places you've traveled when you were single but the places you've traveled with your best friend by your side.  This trip was so much fun.  We loved Atlantis and spending it with my brother & sister in law & some of our closest friends.  We went on our 1st cruise to the Western Carribbean when we were married for 3 years.  This was our second cruise together.  



 One of the cutest little pictures of the boys that I have from the past year.

 Easter time :)  Our little J is still a Etsy model for a few shops.  she is such a joy :)


 Our little B got his tonsils & adenoids removed.  It was pretty rough.  Glad it's over & that he's sleeping better at night. 


We took at trip to Logan to see Savannah & Quinn for her 1st birthday


 Peyton turned 5!



 Miss J turned 1!



 like....seriously....:)



The kids & I took a trip to Saint George in May :) 
this was a picture at Zions


We headed on down to Lake Powell in June! 



I cut 9 inches off my hair in the summer time




In August we celebrated our 6 yr anniversary- we did a couples massage & went to the Anniversary Inn.  



We headed to Tremonton to meet up with my Mission Prez @ a park. Still can't believe it's been 7 years!


The boys made a softball team & won 1st place overall for Eagle Mountain City!
Then went on to play another 2 months in a Sandy league


Joyce & I went to Wicked

Mr. B turned 3



We both turned 30 in 2014.  This was Steve's party 


A difficult decision we had to make this past year was deciding for Peyton to do another round of pre-school and to not go into Kindergarten.  I feel it's been a good choice for us to make.  We love Learning Dynamics & his teacher has told us that Peyton is the furthest along in the class.  He's reading and doing everything so well. Bradyn loves school too.  His teacher said he's doing really well.  We sure love these two boys.  My only regret is we didn't start Peyton in pre-school when he was 3! {The other night we talked about how we are planning on holding B back from K too not only b/c of his August birthday but b/c we want the boys to have a grade in between them at school :)}


One of our very first outings with Nichole!!


One of the Biggest highlights from the year 2014 was pulling off this amazing event.  haha.  ps. I can't believe I didn't write a separate blog about this event!  My brother Parker & I have always talked about doing something epic when he finds the girl that he wants to marry.  And after meeting Nichole, he & I talked about if she seems the type to like something epic & he got that validation was a yes. haha...so we pulled this off!  It was so so much fun.  I called and called and called every mascot in the SL & Utah County, every news station and harassed as many as I could to be there & we ended up getting 3 mascots to come, so I thought that was great.  Fox 13 news showed up & that quickly made everything that much more exciting.  I had pulled together 4 practices with the girls & we did it!  It was an adrenaline rush and am so happy how it turned out!  I'm forever grateful for the ones who took the time to memorize the song and who really got into it.  I'm also so happy she said Yes! haha! what would parker do w/o me?:) To date, we have over 10 THOUSAND views on Youtube!
In October my friends and hubby surprised me with seeing SHANIA IN VEGAS!!  It was so much fun to head on down South and to have a couples weekend.  We are so grateful for our friendships with these guys and love seeing them often :)  It really makes married life so much fun with such fun close friends to share it with :)

While down South for the couples weekend, we decided to get a family picture nearby Dixie Rock :) Love it! 


Jordynn in her little Tinkerbell costume.  She so photogenic, i love it!  She sure is a great little Etsy model :)She's growing up soo fast...These are her words that she says: kitty, please, thank you, what's that, book, love you, mama, daddy, shoe, more, owie, papa, hi, bye, parker, outside.


For my 30th my mom took us girls up to Park City and spent the weekend up there.  These girls got me the cutest gifts for my birthday.  It was so fun!! Loved having Nichole with us :)  Fun memories :)  For my birthday- Steve & I also went out while Aubs watched the kids as well as my friends all took me to Red Lobster & back to Jen's to hang for the night.  Love it!
Jamie came into town & we threw her a baby shower:) she finds out what she's having soon.  eeek!
 Parker & Nichole got married!! YAY!! They got married Dec 13th :) we did a cute dance for her reception.  So glad we did it!


 Love this dude!
