Mother's Day & Handball Tournament

Got these beautiful photos taken at the #kyleeannmommygiveaway and I'm in love with them. I didn't have a great photo of me with all 3 kids. Plenty of selfies, but nothing this cute. :) 

For Mother's day we stayed in Logan and walked the Logan River trail, enjoying the nice weather. I love these people, and so happy these 3 cuties made me a mom. 

I also had another handball tournament this month. It was kind of a big deal, a bunch of pro players were there, many of them from Ireland. So so neat to watch them play, and I loved meeting some of the pro women athletes. I got to play 4 matches, singles and doubles. Won my first singles, lost in a tie break on the next. Lost in a tie break on our first doubles match, won our next one easily.
Travis came with the kids and we just got a hotel. The kids were so excited to swim. The pool was closed. It was fun to have them there for a few games to cheer me on, but they'll probably stay home next time, ha ha! It was exhausting for Travis.

During the first day of the tournament Travis took the kids to the Discovery Museum in Salt Lake and they had a blast.

This is what walks to church look like some days. :)

We put in a little path to the gate last week! Travis did a great job. We've nearly covered all the dirt in our yard now!

Spent some time with at Grandma Marble's house and I am loving Sam's drawings of people these days. He's also getting very good at writing. :)

We gave baby her first ice cream cone the other day and she wasn't sure what to think about it at first. Then she proceeded to shove the whole thing in her mouth, occasionally whimpering, we assume because she was getting brain freeze, but she refused to take it out of her mouth, ha ha!

Celebrated Lisa's birthday with dinner.

These kids are just too cute!

Sam has been such a great helper lately. His personality has grown so much lately. He is so caring, loving and sweet.

This little guy is so sleepy. He randomly falls asleep without me noticing during the day. This would be fine if he still went to sleep at a normal hour, but if he naps during the day it takes him at least an hour, sometimes 2, longer to fall asleep at night. 

My little threesome

Snagged a few shots of my kiddos while we were at the Utah State Capitol building last month!

Also got a few more in the field behind our house this year. Baby got to join in this time. :)

This kid has definitely hit the stage of making faces and awkward smiles for the camera.

I pretty much never go anywhere without this wagon...

This photo below is often how photos go. And it seems that whenever baby is looking at the camera and happy, the boys are distracted, and vice versa.

 

I love where we live. Gonna soak up this time without homes behind us for as long as it lasts.

Spring really has come! (photo catch up)

Wow, I only blogged cruise photos from last month, so I had a ton of pictures waiting to be blogged.
We took a half day and went out to Crystal Hot Springs. The boys loved it! We hadn't been since they finished the new stuff, it's pretty nice. Baby enjoyed it as long as she was in dad's arms, which is how she enjoys most of her life these days.

I spent a lot of time "working" taking photos of people. 2 weddings last month with friends!! Page flew me out to Nebraska which was a blast! Loved being busy, but it's nice to have a little break this month as well. :)

Also, this is the car they "upgraded" me to when I got to Nebraska. Monster. Plus she was making me extra nervous by saying it was brand new and I was gonna be the first one to drive it. Who wants that with a rental car?! I asked for a downgrade instead.

I missed the Stradley Easter party while I was shooting weddings, but still received some photos. :)

I got back home at 9 in the morning on Easter Sunday, snuck into church a little late.

I love these kids!

The boys love their new hats from Grandpa Marble sporting his farm logo.

We brought the kids back some clothes from Belize and Mexico. 

She's definitely a daddy's girl.

Took Tyler on a one-on-one date a while back to Crumbl cookies. He was so excited about the huge cookie.

Travis built some shelves in our garage! Now we can pretend to be more organized.

Park days! Baby LOVES to swing and it's the cutest.

This was how Stake Conference went down this Spring.

I drove for Sam's preschool field trip to an art place called "jump the moon" in Logan. It was pretty fun. Tyler had a blast and I loved seeing how creative all the little kids are.

I made a terrible decision and biked to Sam's preschool the other day to pick him up. It's uphill the entire way, and not just little hills. I walked up the HUGE one and still had to take 4 breaks. Coming home was a dream though!

Sam is becoming more adventurous every day. He's quite the climber at the parks.

We're so glad the warm weather has come! Ready to be outdoors and playing all day long!

Sam learned to ride without training wheels!

So fun.

The boys got electric toothbrushes and they use an app that tells them how long to brush. Tyler was dancing to the music.
