Dallas Arboretum

The other week the girls and I were able to go to the Dallas Arboretum with the other Pead's that live in Texas, Jake & Nicole! Since moving here we have loved hanging out with them! And Ryan loves to play with Gavin! She wakes up everyday asking if they can play! So going to the Arboretum was an extra plus for everyone! The gardens were beautiful, we had a great picnic lunch on the softest grass I have ever felt, and we ran through the fountain area until everyone got a little wet!!

Of course my girls LOVE to play in dirt, sand, & gravel! So it's only natural that would sit down and play here!

Here is a great pic of the Mya! She really enjoyed playing in the water! Thanks to Jake for getting wet so Mya & Owen could have fun touching the water!!

This was a very beautiful walkway! It was a challenge to get all of the kids to look in the same direction!

At the end the had this little village of houses that the kids could go into and play! We all had a great time! Thanks Nicole & Jake!!

Blue Bonnets

We had a friend call us and invite us to go and see the Blue Bonnets. Well not being from Texas I had no idea what they were. I was thinking hats or ice cream, but I know the good ice cream is Blue Bell. But turns out they are the Texas State Flower. So we went to an old cemetary on a hill and it was covered in the flowers. We had fun running around and watching out for the ant piles. This is looking up the hill at the cemetary. I was laughing because the cemetary is called Zion's Cemetary. But this cemetary was established in 1840's and it was cool to walk around and look at the old headstones.

This is Ryan's friend Maddison and poor girl kept stepping on the ant piles! Not fun!!

Here is a picture of the girls trying to smile nicely for me. Mya was scared to put her left foot down while sitting on the ground. She held it up the whole time!

Great Friends!

Ryan & Brynley have been friends ever since they were babies! Here is a picture of them when they were really little playing together.
Well the other weekend we had friends over late playing games and had the girls go downstairs to watch a movie. When we were done playing games, this is how we found these two. Snuggled up to each other sleeping!!
We are really going to miss playing with Brynley!!!

Big Changes!

We are sadly saying goodbye to our family and friends! We are moving out of Utah to....

We are going to see if "the stars at night are big in bright..."!

We are really sad to be leaving Kirk's family and our friends! We have loved living in our neighborhood and have made a lot of good friends!!! We will also miss going over to Kirk's parents house every Sunday to kick it with our awesome family that lives near by!! Changes are always hard, but I guess they are a part of life!!

Old Pictures

I had forgot about these cute pictures off Ryan that I had taken with my cell phone. I know that they are not the best quality, but enjoy!

This is Ryan with her "Happy."

California Fun!

Kirk had to go out of town for two weeks at the end of May for school. So I decided that I was not going to just stay at home with the two girls and try to remain sane! So we headed to my parents house!

We had so much fun! Mya and Cooper are just about the same size but, they are two months apart! They were so fun together and Mya was always trying to hold Cooper's hand!

Ryan always loves to visit her cousins, even though sometimes it is a love hate relationship! Ryan and Carter would play great and then all they would do is fight the next minute! I guess it is that stage they are in right now!

I just loved spending time with my sister and her kids, along with my parents and brother! It was beautiful weather in California and I wish I had brought it with me to Utah. I am getting sick of the rain!

Long time & Catch Up

I know that it has been a long time since I have posted, but I have a very good excuse! I killed Kirk's laptop with two mega-viruses! And all of our pictures that we have or download from our camera only works on it. So I have had to wait until the computer was fixed and now I can update our blog!! Hurray!

At the beginning of March we blessed Mya! It was so fun to have all of our family together for that great day! I love hearing baby blessings, especially my girls! I love to hear the great blessings that these children can recieve if they choose the right! What a great way to start out with life by having a blessing from our Heavenly Father!

Here is a cute picture that my dad had taken of the girls when we were visiting in Feb. I love the matching p.j.'s they have! Thanks Amy!!
