ISU vs Weber

What a big game this is every year. The RMI posse didn't disappoint had these shirts specially made for a few people. It was a great game and we won at a buzzer beater. The boys are taking after the big boys we are all very big BENGAL fans we we all love it and miss it when it is over.

Tough boys

Trae loves having a friend come over to play. They thought it was great to have jerseys and flex their muscles for me.

Life with Dax

How can you not just laugh or think wow this little one is all boy! I love my Dax he is such a fun crazy boy.

Dallas Mavs

One thing I am very grateful for is the time I get to spend with Matt. We are able to do so many things just the two of us and I love everything we do. We went to the only Jazz game we will go to when they play Dallas. We sat right behind the Mavs bench and cheered loud for them with lots of dirty looks coming our way. We had a great time. Can't wait until our next putting together...

Creating

There is just something to be said as a mom that you created something from just a pile of fabric today. I love my craft room and the happy place it is for me to escape to. I love creating thing for other people whether it be a bow for Kira or an apron. I made this for my friends birthday the other day I love the colors and how it turned out It just makes cooking dinner a little bit better when you have a cute apron on. I may just have to go create something today.

An ISU Bengal Dancer

I don't know if Kira loves like I do but I love when there are clinics that she is now able to do like cheer and dance. She always felt left out because Trae would do sport camps and now that she is old enough she has been able to do a few clinics. She loves performing in front of crowds and is never shy. Just a couple weeks ago she did the Bengal Dancer clinic and her friend from dance Lacey (Camille's S little girl) decided to do it with her and they were best buds. They were looking out for each other and if they weren't dancing they were holding hands. What a great way to spend the day dancing and getting to be with your friend. I can only hope Kira develops a love for dance like I have.

My Daxer

These pictures say it all...Dax is full of personality at just a young age of 2. He is all boy and I have to laugh all the time or I would be in tears so much. I often think really how do you know how to do this? or did you really just do that. My saving grace is time out works with him. We all love playing with him and just being around Dax he brings out the best in everyone. He LOVES trains, cars and mans (little people). I love having the 2 hours with just him while both kids are at school. He loves to snuggle up and watch a show or follow me around with whatever I am doing and help me.

Oh how our life would be so boring without him. When ever I call Matt and tell him what Dax did his response is always "He's maxin" always. I love my Daxer!!!

My sweet Kira

Everyone needs a little girly girl in their lives. I ma so blessed with one that loves doing everything I do and did as a kid. For Christmas she got some jewelry and loves to make sure she has at least something on when she leaves the house so she can feel fancy. I have loved watching her progress in dance this year as well as the cheer/dance clinics she goes to. It is in her blood to love to dance no matter where and to perform.

She is also the mother of the house always helping Dax whether he wants it or not. There is always a baby in her arm with a bunch more lined up on bed or listening to her give a lesson. She is such a sweet sweet girl and so fun to have in our family.

My Trae

Wow I can not believe how much this little boy has grown up this past year. Trae has always been my very tender hearted kid always concerned about others and very passionate about sports (just like his Dad) As he started Kindergarten I was nervous he wouldn't be able to make it through the day without falling asleep or just not having enough energy to make it, and being sick all the time he would have to miss lots of days. He has proved us all wrong. He hardly ever naps anymore and loves school so much that he hates having to miss days. He has been sick this week and he has been my buddy and just snuggles with me all day an plays the Wii when he has a little more energy. It has been so nice to just spend some one on one time with him.

This year he is finally able to sign up to play Jr Jazz basketball and he is heaven. Matt is his coach and he gets to play with Brock, Jonah E, Krue H and Ammon all on the same team. They all talk about it and what they are going to do. Trae goes over different plays and the rules with me almost daily. I love it he has the heart for the game for sure.

I love my Trae and very thankful he is in our family. These pictures make him look so old. Allie White took them.

My Sweet Kids

What a blessing it is to have these 3 be apart of my life. This year I resolution is to take more one on one time with each of them, they are growing way to fast!! Each one is so special and teaches or reminds me of something I need to be doing. Thanks to Allie White for capturing each of their personalities in these pictures.
