Our Wonderful Brothers!

 A few months ago Spencer's last brother, Tyler got married. He married a beautiful, wonderful girl! Jessica and Tyler got married in the Jordan River Temple and then had a fun reception that night. They are super cute and Jessica got the coolest shoes for her wedding! :)

              The picture isn't the best.. but she had her wedding date sewn into her converse! Love it!:)

 Then this last weekend, we took a roadtrip to Washington to see my last (and only) brother graduate from High School. There are only 35 kids in his class, so it was short and sweet! Parker is such a fun and loving brother! I am so thankful that we could be so close growing up. I have many fond memories with this little boy. We used to share a room, so every night I would read books to him! He is the most loving and sweetest boy! I love how he always calls me "pumpkin" and how he is always up for a hug (you kind of have to be with 7 sisters!:)

 Most of the family was able to make it to his graduation! Spencer and I brought Bailey and Claire-bear up from Utah with us!

 My wonderful parents have gone through EIGHT of these and are finally done! It is pretty amazing how they have dedicated their lives to their childre, while still having such a strong and healthy relationship themselves! They are such a great example to me. I overheard my dad talking to someone and he said that he has been going to "away" basketball games for 22 years! That is alot of years and alot of driving since the closest away game was about an hour and the farthest was about three hours!! Wowsers!!! My dad was always so good to cheer us on in our sports and help us practice. He would sign us up for camps in the summer and want us to always try our hardest and be the best!

                                      Our little brother is all grown up and going to college!!!

My mom always has a tradition where she makes a t-shirt quilt out of our old sports and activities shirts. Here is her eighth one she has made! She is so talented and such a supportive mama! She loves to make you happy and when you are happy, she is happy! :)

summer is here!

Okay picture overload! I am not doing very well at keeping up on our blog.. but now that SCHOOL IS OUT!!! yes that's right I am DONE.. hopefully I will do better. It is always bittersweet to end another school year. The morning of our last day of school, Spencer asked me if I was going to cry and I pridefully said, "chyea right!"... well that lasted till I entered my classroom.. I really am going to miss some of my firsties this year. It was by far my hardest year.. but with that, it makes you grow even closer to your class and students. It has been such a great year with wondeful parent volunteers, students and staff. I LOVE my job!

A couple weeks ago, Spencer and I went with Dave and Sarah.. (you will find them HERE as well) to St. George to do a little canyoneering. It was my first time going and we had a blast! We did two canyons and it was a lot of fun. Cold.. but fun! You repel into the canyon where it is cold and there is still water at the bottom which makes you even colder.. but these two canyons weren't very bad at all. I only fell in the water once (dave could be the one to blame) and then had to swim through another part.

A little Father's day idea! :) I found this on pinterest and loved it! I am always in need of a gift for my daddy-o! Just fill bottles full of snacks that they enjoy! The pinterest idea had labels that you could wrap around each one.. but I liked the classy look of the coke bottles!

And who doesn't like flowers and a love note and dinner already made when you get home? These were on our kitchen table after my last day of class with a cute little note from my lover. He is just the best! I absolutly LOVE being married to this man! I swear we laugh too much to be a married couple!
