Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice


These little girls love to play dress-up. All they need is a pair of plastic high heels and a few dozen dresses and we are good to go. They change their clothes about 15 times a day. Oh, the life of a sweet little princess. I could just do without the tantrums. HA.

Fun In The Sun

Benton is 3 months...not quite swimming age but...

Today was the second day of swimming this season. My kids wake-up asking to go swimming. I have two little fish. Pat is nice enough to let us use her pool. We have so much fun swimming. Remy is the BEST at applying sunscreen. You get a massage and sun protection all in one!!

I am totally posing to hide the "flaws"...



Tori is swimming all by herself! Yea!!



Hillarious...Remy chasing Jeni with the hose until she had no place left to go but in the deep-end of the pool. Way to get your mom in the water!!

Wedding Bells


I found this picture from my wedding reception in Mexico. I was married 2 weeks before Garrett's brother Randall, so we shared our reception in Mexico. Here is Christy and I. We are getting ready to celebrate our 6th anniverary this weekend!

Bath Time

VIXENS

My sister, Christine and baby Sydney, me and Alexandria, and my cousin Erica and baby Mae all got to attend Sara's wedding over 2 years ago. It is so fun to all have babies the same ages. We just need to get together more often.


My beautiful cousins, sister and I were deemed "Vixens" in college. We do our best to live up to our name. Here was one of our first reunions since we've all gotten married and started having families.

VIXENS FOREVER

My Husband

Some of you don't know Garrett very well, or did not get a chance to get to know him before I was wisked off to Mexico, so I am going to tell you all about him from my perspective. Garrett has a rough exterior but a very soft heart.
He is VERY vocal and will act like he complains a lot, but he will always be the first one there to help out or serve. So, in other words, he is a huge tease! He loves to get reactions out of people and loves controversy but is very genuine.
He has the most beautiful blue eyes which he has passed on to our 3 beautiful children. Garrett is so determined and hard working. He can do just about anything. His ambition can reach the sky. I am so grateful to have such a manly man with such a sweet testimony. I love how high he sets his standards, not only for himself but for us as a family and especially our children. He believes in having a firm hand and a disciplined household. I love him and am so thankful to have found such a catch!!
He is so sweet to help with dinner dishes and putting children to bed every night, even after a long and hard day at the farm (which is most days). I am so lucky to have him.
