Max's 1 Year Old Photos

 We had a fun photo shoot of Max for his 1 year pictures.  They were way too much fun.  These are just a few of my favorites!!!

Max is One!!

 Our baby is 1! How can this possibly be!! Our cute little Max turned one and we celebrated with both our families at our house.  He actually did so great.  He had lots of help from his siblings opening all of his presents.  He seemed very interested in all of the different toys that he got.

He absolutely loved being able to dig into his cake.  It didn't take him long to just go for it and totally destroy it.  He ate almost the whole thing.  We definitely got some great shots of him indulging.  Way too much fun.

Later during the night we definitely paid for letting him eat so much.  He didn't sleep so great after all that cake.  He is such a fun baby and so cute with his big blue eyes and curly blonde hair.  We love you Max. Happy Birthday!!

BeEs GaMe

Our good friends gave us tickets to the Bees game that were right behind home plate.  The kids had a good time.  

Tanner had brought his mitt and so the kids took it over to the Bee mascot to get its autograph..

Here Tanner is with the mitt and the autograph.

Max enjoying french fries!!  Yummy!!!

Cute Cole and Kaya just enjoying the game!!!

Up HoUsE

 So they built a house in a neighborhood near us that is a replica of the house on the Disney movie "Up".  They had it part of the Parade of Homes so that you could go and tour it.  We took the kids to go and see it and they had this old man on the porch to look like the man from the movie.

 The kids had a great time going to see it.  Too much fun!!!

Cole's 1st Day of Preschool

 This year for preschool we took Cole to a new place that others in the neighborhood were going to.  It is called Pirates & Princesses and the teacher is Ms. Elke.  Cole is so excited to be going to preschool again.  It will be a fun last year before kindergarten.

1st Days of School

 Kaya started 3rd grade this year.  Her teacher's name is Mrs. Cozad.  She is so excited to learn to write in cursive and to to learn all of her times tables.

 Tanner started 1st Grade.  His teacher's name is Miss Benson.  He's excited to eat lunch at school.

I can't believe how big the kids are getting. I wish I could slow down time a little!!!

Days of '47 Parade

 We always have so much fun at the parade.  We were able to go with Grandma and Grandpa Jolley and

 the Jolley crew.  The kids love spending time with their cousins!!

Days of '47 RoDeO

 So we got a great deal on tickets for the Days of '47 Rodeo this year.  We hadn't taken the kids yet so we thought it would be fun.  They absolutely loved it.  They also had some motocross stunt guys come out during the intermission and do tricks.

 I went and found the boys these cute cowboy hats and I must say they make pretty cute cowboys!!! Those things are expensive though so we will be taking good care of those babies.

We went to the rodeo with Grandma and Grandpa Jolley and the Jared and Megan and kids.  They always have a great time together.  So much fun to have close cousins to make great memories!!!

1st Pet

 A couple of weeks ago I took Kaya with me to IFA to buy some plants.  While we were there she saw the rabbits and didn't want to leave without one.  I told her that a rabbit costs a lot of money and takes work to take care of.  I told her if she earned enough money to buy one on her own then we would consider it.

 Little did I know she would do just that.  She took it one step further though and got on KSL.com to look at the classifieds for people selling animals.  She found one that she wanted that came with a cage for $20.  She did a bunch of research on rabbits and made a list of why we should get one and what she would do if we let her.  She then went to her brothers to get them to pool their money together to have enough to pay for everything.

Well as you can see by the pictures, she won.  We went and picked up Oreo.  The kids are loving her.  She is a funny rabbit and is actually potty trained just like a cat.  They love to put a leash on her to take her outside.  She's still a little nervous and likes to hide so we'll see how she does.  The kids are just excited to finally have a pet.

Kaya's Baptism Pictures

 Kaya and her besties (Lauryn, Carlie, and Ellie) all went together to the Salt Lake Temple to have their baptism pictures done by our awesome friend and photographer Brooke.  The girls had so much fun posing and being models for the afternoon.  They all looked so great in their white dresses and Brooke was able to get some great shots.

 This one with the temple is my absolute favorite.

 After we were done we took the girls to The Garden restaurant that is on top of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building.  They gave them balloons that they were able to let go out of their open rooftop.

 These girls have so much fun together and are always acting so silly.  They are too cute.

Last day of Kindergarten

Tanner finished Kindergarten.  He loved Ms. Calhoun.  She was a great teacher.  I can't believe how fast the year went. Now on to first grade and eating school lunch!!

Blue Dolphins

Tanner's Soccer team The Blue Dolphins had a great spring season. They played hard and won most of their games even though they don't officially keep score.


Tanner became a great little defender to keep the other team from scoring. He had a fun time and wants to play again in the fall. Go Dolphins!!

MaX- 9 MoNtHs

Our little Max is already 9 months old. I can't believe it. He such a joy to have around. He has turned into such a great baby. He isn't quite crawling instead he does the army crawl everywhere. It is so funny to watch him. Up until this week though he would just roll everywhere so it's better than that I guess. He finally is enjoying baby food. He absolutely hated it before. It was such a process to try and feed him so it is great that he will finally eat without a fight. We love you Max!!

Kaya's Gymnastics Recital

We always love the gymnastics recitals for Kaya with Jolley's Gymnastics. They did so awesome this year. The girls are getting so great. They did all their new tricks.




It's so fun to see Kaya get so confident and so proud with her accomplishments. She is a great gymnast!! Way to go Kaya!!
