First Half (or so) of Summer
We were blessed with one of the greatest summers yet! From fabulous days at the pool to a fantastic visit with family. Jaron, the kids and I were sad to say good-bye to another summer (but we look forward to an awesome school year).
It has taken me four nights to put together this video so, although it is incomplete, I had to show the fruits of my "labors". I will get to work on the other half soon.
I just have to say that as Jaron and I held the 2nd Annual Back-to-School Bash (pictures to come) I couldn't help but feel so incredibly fortunate to have seen, done, felt, learned, laughed and loved as much as we did summer of 2010. I really love these pictures because those faces and those moments still cling to my heart and make me smile just thinking about them.

Nine Years!!!
What an incredible nine years...I consider myself a blessing girl!
When Ayden was a baby
This seems like so long ago, when it was Miaja and Chase in Maine
Boy we had no idea what was ahead of us...three boys to protect our precious daughter!!
Here's where it all began for us
Jaron & I
So on the eighteenth Jaron and I celebrated our ninth anniversary and he made it such a special day for us. From a HEALTHY and really delicious breakfast to swimming with the kids and friends to eating way too much at this incredible seafood restaurant downtown we had such an great time.
We talked a lot about how quickly the time has past and what we see happening over the next nine years and I felt myself overwhelmed with gratitude. Jaron and I have been through so much together and although I swore I couldn't love him more the day we got married I can't even describe how our hearts have grown together over these past few years. Through moves and babies, school and residency, trials and joys-we have found ourselves still in-love.
Happy Anniversary Jer.
I love you.

Take me out to the ball game...
Chase LOVED the game
Ayden LOVED the food
We all LOVED being there with friends
The party animals
Boy did we have a great night!!! The other night the kids and I went to LDS night at the San Antonio Missions baseball field! The greatest part was the Steve Young was going to be there. Now my kids have never seen, met or watched Steve Young but they know that when daddy was little he used to go watch Steve Young practice at the BYU stadium. ALL my kids wore their BYU shirts, hats and whatever else they could find. When we got to the game they were disappointed to find-out that the only way to meet Steve Young was to win a drawing. We all put our names in (including Thomas) and guess whose name they called...ME!!! Our friends all cheered us on as we the kids and I all ran to guest services. Well after all the hustle they couldn't find Steve Young so we all got more BYU t-shirts (we already get teased for the quantity of BYU t-shirts we have), but it was so fun! Really, the best part was being there with friends, watching the missionaries sing the anthem and the kids dance to the songs and cheer for all the players (my kids of course were cheering ,"Go BYU")! Chase looked me in the eyes and with pure little boy joy he said, "Mom, I love base ball"! What a night!
It's Girls Night!!!
Ashlyn,Miaja & Abby
Ashlyn, Abby, Miaja & Joei

School's Out!!!
So Miaja decided that she wanted to celebrate the end of first grade with a few of her good girl friends! We had homemade pizza, movies and, of course, hair-dos, nail polish and lots of great dress-ups!!! What a night! I'm just excited to have my favorite girl home for the summer!

Mr. T takes his first step...and his first duel!!!
The first duel
I love that face
He's walking...watch-out world!!!
i have become keenly aware that our family consists of mostly boys. my baby took his first steps and two days later I was making breakfast and I looked behind me to see this adorable little boy barely balancing in his diaper. he was holding a long knights sword and he had the biggest grin. he and ayden immediately began a duel and he has been holding onto that sword ever since! boys...we've got some pretty cute ones!
