Shenanigans 

Looking back at May I discovered I took no pictures of the big events of this month just all the shenanigans happening around the house.

Ashes has become quite the character, and I lover she smile!

 6 May 2016

 She's always looking to get any fruit left out

 11 May 2016

 One night Jax was given a bubble bath and I forgot to turn off the jets in the tub and I came back to this. Jax was enjoying it.

18 May 2016

My children has a hard time eating at mealtimes because there is always something to watch in the back yard. Today it was 3 deer, can you spot them?

Weekend in Utah

 13 May 2016

Kelly, Me, Abbi, Kristen, Crystal, Katie, Ada

 I got to fly into Utah to Keyan's wedding and I meet up with some old friends from the BYU track team. So fun to see these girls again! Good times!

Abbi was so nice to let me crash at her place with her cute family while I was in the valley. She even drove me around everywhere. Thanks Abbs!! Miss you already!

14 May 2016

My little brother Keyan got married and I didn't take a single picture...guess I'll just steal some from everyone else later...haha I think I was enjoying not having to take care of anyone that I didn't even bother to bring my phone with me.

19 May 2016

Some cuddles in the morning waiting for Mom to get out of bed.

20 May 2016

 My children love finding he toads around and they find them just about every day. Jax likes to put them on Ashlyn's head, she doesn't seem to mind.

 More of Ashes discoveries

6 Year Anniversary Date

Aaron found a babysitter for our anniversary and we went bowling. Of course he killed me... 

but he had a slow start one game and I was actually winning at one point!

So glad his guy asked me to marry him over 6 years ago. I love the life we have together.

Phillip Stewart's Wedding

We went to Atlanta for Aaron's college roommates wedding. I was busy with dirty diapers and chasing kids I didn't get a picture...once again I'll steal one from them later! 

28 May 2016

When we got to the temple I got to stay outside with the kiddos :)

 Jordyn picking flowers at the reception.

By the end the kids where in the drink coolers having at the ice and water, too fun! Poor Ashlyn didn't understand why her hands where hurting(because the where so cold) and keep going back for more.

Keel Laying Ceremony

Keel Laying Ceremony for the Submarine 

Delaware

Newport News Shipbuilding

Ever since Aaron has joined the Navy I have not ever seen where he works due to security clearences so I told him if there is ever a time I can come see where he works I want to see it, even if it didn't mean anything to him. Well, I got my chance for the keel laying...kinda it's not like I got to see the inside of the Sub.

Senator Thomas Carper, Delaware, Matt Mulherin President Newport News Shipbuilding, Lawrence Britt Welder, Jill Biden, Jill Biden's Grandson

 Dr. Jill Biden (2nd Lady) is the Submarine's Sponsor

 This is Aaron's Captain

Conrad Harder, Aaron, Robert Bernzott

 The 3 Musketeers/Amigos 

With Aaron being a Mechanic I don't get to see him in his Dress Uniforms very much. I love to see him in uniform.

Dirty and Clean

29 April 2016

This was Jax's motivation to learn to turn on his bike without stopping.

 Around and around in the puddle

 My kids are never afraid of getting dirty.

 Cutie!

so...I'm down stairs with Aaron working on something and we can just hear the kids going, so I decide to film as I go and see what they are doing...oh these kids!

P.S. the banging is Aaron hammering down stairs

Strawberry Picking

25 April 2016

This boy has been so creative lately. He drew self portraits of everyone in the family, makes snowflakes out of his quesadillas and has some very impressive drawing for his age.

Bottom Left: Jax, Jordyn, Ashlyn

I asked Jax why I had a frowny face and he said I was shot, so the middle top is me happy, Dad "when he was my age." The rest are just funny!

Oliver Farms 

I thought strawberry picking would be fun but these kids had a blast.

27 April 2016

 Ashlyn just ate strawberries the whole time.

 Jax as always took off on his own and is in the back of this picture.

Jordyn loved it.

So 2 years later I finally refurbished this curb alert dresser! I'm actually really excited how it turned out.

Langley Air Force Air Show

Air Show

Langley Air Force Base, VA

23 April 2016

 I've never been to an air show and it was really cool to see how many amazing things these pistols and aircrafts are capable of.

Snacks always make things even better!

 24 April 2016

Aaron wanted to take a nap but didn't want to sleep too long cause he had a meeting that night but having the kids in the same room made it a little difficult, next thing I know I look over to see this.
