Happy Fathers Day Brandon! (early)

Happy Fathers Day Brandon! I would gush about what a great dad he is but I know he would prefer me not to and because it is his day I will just say, We love You Brandon.

We decided it was time for a little family vacation to San Diego to go to sea world and the beach.
None of my kids have ever been to the ocean, and I had never been to a California beach, so needless to say we were excited. We just took two days, the first at Sea World and the second at Mission and La Jolla beach. It was the perfect vacation! The kids loved every minute and had smiles plastered across their faces from the moment we left home to the moment they fell asleep on the ride back. Lots of pictures here but there are Grandmas and Grandpas that need a big dose of their cuteness.

A 3rd Place ribbon for Tyler!

We have an annual stake track meet and the kids participated again this year. They really look forward to their events and they did a remarkable job. What great sports! This was Audreys first year and she won first place in the girls diaper das. (She was the only girl). I didn't get a lot of pictures because I was filming it on video, but here are a few.

Easter Sunday

I took a few snapshots of the kids easter morning before church. The boys both had ties from butteredtoast.etsy.com. Much thanks to Aunt Jesi for those. I thought Audrey looked divine in her easter best. Her bow was made with love by yours truly at billiebrand.etsy.com.

The park


We took the small 10 hour ride to Denver for a quick trip to see my sister Sadie and her family. We had such a fun time and the kids loved every minute. On the way home we stopped in Grand Junction to catch Kyles baseball game. The kids adore their cousin Kyle and thought he was so cool in his uniform.
