Lets Go Lakers!!!!

As most of you know Ryan has been to quite a few Lakers' games, but I think the one he went to last night was by far the best game he has ever been to, or may ever go to! Game 7 of the NBA finals...Lakers vs. Celtics! He was so nervous before he left. He said that he couldn't even eat that day because he felt sick to his stomach. What do you even say to that??? To say he is a little obsessed would be an understatement!

Anyways, he got to go with his brother Brock to the game. Who by the way is getting married tomorrow to Sarah who we LOVE! (pictured below)

But back to the big night...

Carson even got into the Lakers Spirit! Here he is with dad giving the fist pump before the game!

Here they are!! Ready to go see their team win!!

I love this picture!!

I first have to say how proud I am of Ryan. He never takes pictures, but I think it might have been all my threats because he did awesome last night at getting a lot of pictures.

Ryan said it was so crazy there! He also told me this morning that I would have been embarrassed of the way he acted! I can only imagine what he was doing. At one point he said he had to go walk the halls because the Lakers were down and he was too mad to just sit there!! Again...obsessed would be an understatement!

The big trophy!!

I would just like to say thank you to the Lakers for pulling through and winning...because of you my husband came home a happy man!

Missy Graduated!!!

Yesterday my little sister Missy graduated from Highschool! I can't believe that she will be leaving in a couple months to go to College! In some ways I still see her as the cute little girl that would never grow up! This was her my Junior year of highschool.
She was 7 years old in this picture!

Now here she is 10 years later almost 18 years old and graduating! CRAZY!

Getting ready to get her diploma!

So excited to finally be done with Highschool!
PS. Don't you love the girl flipping her hair around...she should try out for a hair commercial or something! :)

Here is Missy with my parents. My mom looks so young to have six children graduated from Highschool! Hopefully I can take after her! And Dad you look good too!! :)

Since I couldn't let Missy have all of the spotlight...

Congrats Missy! I am so proud of you. You always make me laugh and I love your ability to be who you are no matter who is watching or what they may say about you! Your the best...and I will really miss you when you leave for college, and not just because you are the best babysitter a girl could ask for! :) I love you!

Weekend in Santa Barbara

This past weekend we went to Santa Barbara to visit Ryan's grandparents and my kids great Oma and Opa. We had such a great weekend with them! Here are a few of the pictures I took this weekend.

Oma was so cute with the kids. She is so great because she doesn't try to force them to like her right away. She understands that kids need to warm up to a person before they will play...but man did my kids warm up to her. They had so much fun playing with their great Oma.

We had such a great weekend visiting with Oma and Opa. Thanks for letting us come and visit!! Hopefully we can do it again really soon!! We love you both!!

Yes...I Have a 3 Year Old

On Saturday May 29th Carson turned 3!! Since we were going to be leaving on Saturday morning to go to St. George for a family reunion, we celebrated on Friday the 28th. That morning I let him open one present from his great Oma and Opa. They bought him two adorable books which he was very excited to read!

Then that night we went to Rainforest Cafe for dinner. Before we went in Carson threw a few pennies into the crocodiles mouth for good luck!

Carson got a lot of great presents...some roller skates, an animal hospital, buzz lightyear coloring books and books to read, clothes, some money for a Disneyland pass...and it goes on and on!

He loves blowing out his candles, but gets really embarrassed when we sing to him!

There was a lady there that made balloon hats, so Carson got a fish hat. It was really cute and he loved it!

We couldn't leave Bailey out, so she got a princess crown! She was clapping her hands in pure enjoyment!

We had a great time with our family!! Carson loved all of his presents! But I think he loved that everyone was there even more! He has so much fun with his grandparents, and they are such great grandparents. My kids sure are lucky!!

Well Saturday morning we left around 7am for St. George Utah. The drive wasn't too bad, mostly because we took my mom's car and she has a DVD player. Now I don't know about your children, but my kids have a face that they make when they are watching a show...here is Bailey's!

and Carsons....

When we got there we headed to my the hotel to get ready and then went over to my Aunt Lisa's house to take some family pictures. (I don't have any of those pictures, but I think my cousin Allison took a lot of cute ones!) But my Aunt did get Carson a balloon and a present for his birthday! She bought him a Toy Story car that has woody in it...of course because it was toy story he loved it!

After Family pictures we headed to the park for the first part of the family reunion. My grandma was nice enough to get Carson a Toy story cake...as you can imagine...he loved it!

I think his face says it all!!

Just like before he got really embarrassed when we started to sing to him and hid under the table...

but he popped back up to blow out the candle!

He loved the cake, but mostly the frosting. He kept putting his fork back in the cake to scoop out more frosting!

Then the kids played for a bit at the park, which both of my kids really enjoy!

Carson and Lilly were so cute together! Lilly wanted to do whatever Carson did, and he had no problem with that! They both wanted to be wherever the other was!

It was really fun to be with my whole family! We haven't all been together since Christmas, so this was a very fun weekend, but again, always too short!

A Girl After My Own Heart!!

Girls Weekend to San Diego

On May 14th we headed down to Katie's house to go to dinner for her birthday before we headed down to San Diego for our girls weekend. We ate at Chile's but I did not take any pictures of that and then the girls left for a weekend of fun without kids!!!
That night we went and saw the movie Letters to Juliet. It was a really cute movie, but a major chick flick. I don't think Ryan would have enjoyed it too much, but we loved it!

On Saturday morning we did some shopping at the outlet mall down there and had a lot of fun! Then that afternoon Katie helped Missy get all ready so that we could take some senior pictures of her. She is so stinking pretty that it was not hard to get some good pictures! I just posted a few, but she looked good in most of them!

Here is one that my mom took of the three of us!!

Then that night we went to El Torito for dinner and it was so good!

It was a pretty short weekend, but very needed and SO FUN!!! Thanks for having a birthday Katie and giving us an excuse to party!! I wish we could do it more often...I really love hanging out with my sisters and my mom! We are all the best of friends, and always have so much fun together!

So Pretty

Bailey is such a girlie girl! She loves putting bows in her hair and wearing all of my necklaces. I took these pictures back on May 13th right after she got of the bath. I always do her hair before I get her dressed and while I was doing her hair I gave her my necklaces so she would sit still. Then she was running around with them on and LOVING it!!

I love my Bailey girl!!
