June 2nd Maddi and I left at 4:00 AM to hike to one of the most beautiful places we have ever been! We went for Young Woman High Adventure... It was 10 miles in and a brutal 10 miles out! It was so fun being with my girl, a memory we will always cherish and it was absolutely amazing! 

The Sunday before we left I got called to be the 1st counselor in the Young Women, I felt so honored! I originally signed up as a volunteer because I felt like this hike was a once in a life time opportunity. It's part of the Havasupai Indian Reservation in the Grand Canyon. But I was lucky enough to go as a leader... 

Major update...

Well it has been awhile since I updated our blog.... So here is a quick run down of what we've been up too.

On May 31st we celebrated Kobe's 13th birthday! I can't believe he is a teenager. He is such a great kid and brings many smiles and lots of laughter where ever we go. He got to speak in church on his special day and did a wonderful job! Happy Birthday Pal!

Over Memorial weekend we took a lil trip to good ole UTAH! We got to go to Aunt Kay's 90th birthday celebration. She is such a great lady and will always hold a special place in my heart.

On the May 17th we celebrated my birthday...it was pretty amazing, I got to spend my birthday weekend in St. George with Jerian after we got home I made myself this delicious giant Black Forest cupcake and James spoiled me with a gift certificate to the spa!

While in St. George we hiked Dixie Rock and it was AMAZING! It was a beautiful day spent with some of my favorite people.

Kobe took 1st place on his science fair project.... But since I did most of the work I felt like I should take a pic with the award as well, so basically I'm saying I took 1st place! LoL

We worked together and our hard work paid off! We did it on bread mold.... Side note bread from the 99 cent store does not mold!

April

Easter Sunday we had the Rowley's over and frosted cookies and colored eggs....

Easter weekend was also General Conference weekend so Saturday afternoon we took a lil hike to Monolith Gardens here in Kingman and then drove around touring Chloride, AZ. It was a prefect weekend spent as a family.

February 

On February 20th our lil man got braces....doesn't he look handsome!

On Feb. 19th Mads had an awards assembly for soccer and she got the Coaches Award, which basically is the MVP... She's got it goin on!

Valentines weekend was spent in Vegas with our main peeps..... The Merritt's! We got to watch T play a lil baseball and Hayden play a lil volleyball and then we ended the night with the best meal ever at the Cheesecake Factory! YuM!

We also got to meet up with Jacki, Cade, Em and Ash! It was a prefect Valentines spent with people we LOVE!

So this happened...

Yep... We are finally legal! James says now I have to say I'm from AZ...

We are so proud of P, he has made the honor roll twice this school year! His goal is to hit high honors this semester. I'm so proud him, keep up the good work Pal! We celebrated with a lil ice cream! :)

Happy 15th Maddi Jane...

Happy Birthday to our baby girl! She is beautiful inside and out, we love her and are so proud of the beautiful young lady she is becoming. She is very responsible, caring and the best helper. I love the example she is to me... I love you Sis!
