Snow Canyon Rugby Tournament

We've been waiting years for this game to begin!  JD is a starter on the open team. He plays #2, which is the hook. This was our first time playing and it was the Snow Canyon tournament.

I love, love, love that they say a prayer before the game. I love what these coaches are teaching my boy.

JD's job consists of throwing the ball in and rucking over his teammates when they go down.

He also gets to pass the ball out on occasion.

Umm, he doesn't look 12 here.

or here for that matter.

Down we go. But atleast his team got the ball.

Asher came and watched Rugby, but he was to busy playing with is new elk that Grammie bought him :).

Throwing it in from the sidelines.

This was when he went down pretty hard right in front of me. He looked at me and got right up and continued to play hard. I am so proud of him and all his hard work. This game makes me so nervous, but I am so grateful for these coaches and what they are teaching my boy!

This is JD. I have to say the first game we had was hard mostly on the team. Its our first game and we didn't want to lose. So we decided play hard and we won. United is the one in the black they put some effort in to it. We still won, but it was a long day playing rugby.

Best Friends

I love these girls so much!  Adilyn, Jordyn and Addison have all been baptized. Piper is the only one who hasn't, but we finally got her dress and we wanted to do a baptism shoot in the blossoms.

I am so grateful she has such good friends. Not to say that there isn't any drama, because there are moments!!

They are such silly, sassy & sweet girls.

This might just be my favorite.

Worst jumpers ever! Oh my heavens we took so many of them and we never got one of all four of them in the air.

Wait!  This might be my favorite!

We decided to let them change their clothes and take a few other photos. They were much more themselves in these pictures.

Such silly  and cute girls. I love how casual this one is.

I hope that no matter where these girls end up, they will always be friends.

I love this picture a lot!  I love how they are all hugging.

How do you pick a favorite?  They are all so good!

So grateful for these cutie pies!

Snowy Sunday

 Sometimes they do get along!  Especially when a tablet is in front of them. Although 2 minutes after this picture they were arguing over who got to play, oh well.

 Drove up to Cedar for Sunday dinner with Talon and Sarah. There is so much snow in Cedar City, it's crazy. My kids didn't mind at all. Somehow Piper only made it up with 1 glove.

 I love these pictures. I wanted them to all post together, but this was as close as we got.

 Then JD said, "Let's throw snowballs at mom!"

 And they all joined in on that fun. Good thing none of them can throw. Never even got close!

 I stayed home and played with this guy while Josh and Talon took the kids sledding. He melts my heart. Literally melts it.  Look at that cute face!

 He was watching Grandpa be a silly goose. He loves Josh like crazy.

 Chilling with Grandpa. Every time I tried to hold him he would scream. It brings Josh great joy, because all Josh has to do is take him and he is  happy again.

Ahhhh!  I love this boys so much!  I am having hard time accepting the fact that they will be moving 8 hours away in just two months. Need to get in as much time as I can between now and then.

Evening of the Arts

 This cute girl took 3rd place in painting and 3rd place piano!

Tyson took 1st place in photography.

Snow Day

My Valentine

I got to spend Valentines day with this cute little faker!  All of these pictures were taken within a 1 minute time frame. He's the cutest!  I'm so glad I could watch him while Sarah and Talon went on a date.

Haircut

Um, how grown up does this girl look?  Wow!  She is so beautiful.  I love her hair up like this. A funny story to accompany this picture. I was at the school taking pictures for Evening of the Arts & I sent Piper home with Tyson.  The moment I walked in the door, Tyson is freaking out, telling me that he had been trying to text me.  He said Piper had used scissors to try and get her bun out. It was a hot mess. I started trying to pull it apart, but ended up having to cut it because it was so tangled. As I started unrolling the bun, huge chunks of hair started to fall out!  I freaked out! I really just wanted to cry though.
