THE BIG 50TH B-DAY PARTY!!!!

I can't believe that my mom is 50.....holy crap she looks good!!! We had a big party for her and it turned out great. So many friends and family were able to come....thanks so much! In the top left corner is mom's birthday present from grandma and grandpa Evans!! My Grandma has been obsessed with making these crazy hats....it is pretty funny since it matches perfect...haha. Then the bottom corner pictures are her present from some of her friends....a his and her's dream body make-over kit!! They never have to workout again....they just have to slip their shirts on!!

Isn't this the cutest cake ever??? It took me all day.....NOT! Randi made this adorable cake and I was very impressed!

The food was yummy!! we had fruit and veggie trays and a dessert bar...... Stahlei Cattering did a great job!!

The center pieces turned out so cute! These clear blocks have been used at ALOT of weddings around town.....we rubbed cute sayings on the blocks. They were all things that mom says..."Where is Meah!" "Seriously" "Oh Bother" OH....the rolls" "not in my kitchen sink" "Flippin Finnilly" "Regis stop that!" Then we tied cute colorful bow around them!!

Nana Lisa and Tyce....

PICTURE TIME!!!

After eating Jamie and I sang a song.....Jess and I re-wrote the song "Daddy's Hands" it was so fun....here is a couple parts...."I remember mamas hands folded silently in prayer and reaching out to smack us when we pulled each others hair. She could read quite the stories from the lies in our eyes...years of little worries were left on our behinds!" It went on and talked about all the wrecks we had and how mom would pull our hair real tight while braiding our hair!!! It was so fun!!

This is my moms family that could make it....Her Aunt Tony and Aunt Delores are so great and come to everything even things that my kids do!!! Thanks for all of your support everyone!!

This is everybody from my dads side that could make it...they are all amazing and come to everything that they can!! Aunt Kellie even came from Lindon, Ut. I think she came the farthest! Thanks to all of you for all of your support!!

Mom and Dad have such AMAZING friends!! Most of these friends have been friends with them for along time and they go on vacations together and they are super great! Some of the other friends are friends that they met when dad started golfing....thanks for everything!!

We all told some things about our mom and of course I couldn't hold back the tears, but I just feel sooooo blessed to have such a wonderful person in my life!! I LOVE YOU MOM!!

PS....I have to thank Jamie Holt for the DVD....it turned out great! I was only stressed for a minute!!!! Thanks again!!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!! Chantry and Branson stayed home from church since they had been sick, and when we got home this is what Brooks found on his bed.....Chantry loves doing these kinds of things!

Happy Fathers day hun....you are the best dad ever! I feel so blessed to have you in my life and that our children have you as their father!! We Love YOu so much!!!!

Sairee helped Chantry do this one later......Sairee drew the heart and Chantry wrote the words! They love their daddy so much:)

HAPPY FATHERS DAY DAD!!....I love you so much and am so thankful everything that you have done for me and my family! I know that you would do anything for us and we are so blessed to have you in our lives! We Love You!!

Well....Sundays get a little long, so Chantry and Sairee disappeared upstairs for a long time and this is what I found them doing.....Seriously how cute is this??!!! Chantry wanted to do another one for Brooks because these turned out so cute, but I told her that dad loved his...(plus we didn't have all night..haha) all of the kids signed the inside. I wish that I would have taken a picture of Bransons drawing inside of the card it was so cute. He drew my dad golfing and he put.....Thanks "fore" being such a great grandpa! It was darling!!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY BUD!! Thanks for being such a great father-in-law to me and making me feel like part of the family from day 1.....and thanks for all you do for our family! We Love You!!.....you raised a great kid and taught him how to work hard!!

Here is another one of Chantrys masterpieces!!! Papa Stafford loves to go camping and fishing so that was the theme of the card.....so cute!!

I have to tell my grandpa HAPPY FATHERS DAY!! He is such a great man and I love him so much! He has always been such a great example to his kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids!!! I feel so blessed to have a close relationship with him and my grandma! They have always tried to make it to everything that we have and now they try to make events that my children are involved in....it just amazes me because they have so many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, but they take the time to make the rounds.....Brooks and my grandpa have a close relationship also and I think it is so cute, both of Brooksby's grandpas have passed away many years ago so it is good that they have such a good relationship! Thanks for all you do ...We Love You!!!!

FAMILY PARTY FOR SAIREE......

Sairee turned 6 on June 15th!! Chantry and Branson both were really sick so we almost cancelled the party. But I decided to just have it at the park and the older kids just stayed home and slept. We still have not yet had her friend party, it seems like June has just been so busy! We have decided on June 30th for the friend party...YAY! My mom usually makes an AWESOME cake for the kids, but we decided to save it so the friends could enjoy it. So Nana made cupcakes and we had pizza and pop...YUMMY!!

Daddy's little girl!

Mommy's little Sweetheart:)

The Fam....well except for the ones that don't live near us!

Kasse and Justin got Sairee this cute little nail kit and an outfit with shoes!!!

Thanks Nana and Papa Stafford....they got her a jewelry box with some cash!!!

Thanks Nana and Papa Evans...they got her a book and the pen is electronic....so you follow along the words and it reads it to you....she loves it!!

Papa and his new toy:)

Jess and Mike and her famous face....they got her a swimming pool.....we all love it:)

Elle, Trey, and Meah playing on the toys!!!

Jamie and Kit couldn't be here, but she opened their present on Sunday and she loves the clothes, shoes and lip gloss!! We also miss Aunt Randi and uncle Aaron and the kids, and also Uncle Joel and Aunt Hillary and there bunch.......so sad when they all aren't here:( She had such a fun day....I took her to Target and let her pick out things she wanted, she got a barbie and some craft things and a new gymnastics outfit....and of course.....clothes!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAIR-BEAR!!!!!

I cAn'T bElIeVe ShE iS 6!!!!!

Happy Birthday Sairee!!

I can't believe how fast 6 years have gone by......and how dang cute she is!! Sairee's birthday was yesterday, June 15th......because Branson and Chantry were so sick, all of the family came to the park to celebrate(I didn't want everybody getting this nasty sickness)!!! Sairee is such a sweetie with cute little dimples. She can be a stinker, but who isn't every once in awhile?? I love how sassy she is.......it makes me laugh! Everybody that know her, knows what I am talking about because she has probably given you the "Z snap" followed by..."Oh No You Didn't!" Right now she is into memorizing The 13 Articles of Faith. Everytime we are in the car, you will look back and see her saying them to herself......I'm sure it helped when Nana Evans said that she would buy her a glitter ball for every one that she passes off! (bad idea mom because she is determined to do it!) Sairee is so much fun to have around and we are so blessed to have her sweet little spirit in our home. We Love you Sair-Bear!!!

SuMmEr gAmeS!!

This year we played games on Wed, Thurs, Fri, and Sat.... Our first game we won 4-2 which was great because we didn't play that good that day. Thursday's game we smoked the other team 10-0! But Fridays game was the one that stressed me out....it is a team from St. George so it makes it even worse. When it is a team you don't know it is not as bad...the ending score was 3-0, but at half time it was 0-0 so still anybody's game. Once we got up by 2 I could sit down and relax!!.......Saturday was the day that we would play for the gold. Our boys did great considering that it was 40 degrees, very windy and POURING rain!!! It was 0-0 at half, but then the other team scored,but one ref called off sides and the other didn't....so for some dumb reason they counted it!! Then Branson scored and as the ball was crossed over to him, the ball brushed by Conner and Branson scored and THEN they called hand ball!!! Brooks just says that we got SCREWED but the boys played GREAT!!!

I love this picture!!

Branson had some sweet hair thanks to uncle Justin!!

The girls were great support they were screaming the whole time!!

After Thursday's game, we went to a hotel that some of our parents had in Cedar and we let the boy's have some FUN!!!

Randi and Aaron where here visiting and it was so nice of them to come and watch Branson play....also Nana Evans, Kit, Jess and Mike were able to make it....so we all went to eat at Applebee's!!

Jess and Mike are so mean and they fed Tyce a lemon......pretty sour!!

SC CREW ROCKS!!!

After receiving their silver medals.....Brooks and his sweet hat:)

BUDDIES!!

Brooks has coached Branson for years and most of the boys that are on the crew...he has done such a greaet job! We went from losing every game........to winning every game!! This year was a little more challenging because some of the other teams gave us a little challenge but it was a great year!! We are joining a club team next year and changing our name and jersey's but we look forward to another great year!!!

Trying to make Branson look presentable for church the next day!!

SWIMMING LESSSONS

This year I signed all of the girls up for swimming lessons........well Chantry and Sairee are the ones that made it past day 2!! Maybe next year for Meah. They both did great and had a lot of fun!!

GREAT JOB GIRLS!!
