2012 Highlight....The Lakehouse

I can't believe how beautiful it turned out....wow! Lots of fun but lots of work.  The Buzz Lightyear vacuum certainly makes cleaning fun

I love this pic looking out the family room window.

Visiting Teaching gift

I really like how this visit teaching gift turned out.  "Hope your summer is full of sunshine" with all yellow treats

The big 5

What a fun day for Max.  All of his best buddies came to his Safari and had a blast.  They enjoyed monkey eyes, cheetah tails and gator heads along with cupcakes.  I wish i got a pic of the goodie bags but they turned out really cute

I want to be like my big brother!

Max loves to dress up and this is his favorite!  He's actually getting pretty good at cradling the ball

Great American Award

Way to go Conner!  You received your GAA.  What an accomplishment- your hard work paid off

Lacrosse

There is nothing more exciting to watch than LAX.  I love watching Conner play the sport.  He is really progressing and loves it.  He is very lucky to have Kyle as his coach.  They were 8 for 10.  Made to the finals and lost to the other Alta team.  Lame!

LIlly's Baptism

Lilly looked beautiful as always.  She wore a darling white outfit which made her look extra beautiful on her baptism day.  Daddy baptized and confirmed.  Conner gave a talk on the baptism and he was amazing.  Everyone said he sounded like a real pro.  All of our family was there and wrote sweet messages to Lilly which are tucked away into a baptism book. After the baptism we come home to eat creme brule french toast and fruit.  Perfect day!

She's 8

We started the party at the house with treats and opened presents. Then off we went to the Lion House. Lilly said it was the best party EVER! She absolutely loved it! One relieved mommy!

The goody bags had "all things white" to represent her 8th birthday: white nail polish, white candy, and hand sanitizer with a scripture label stuck to it.

Happy Easter!

We made Peeps in a Birdhouse! So cute and fun!

Lilly's Turning 8!!

Lilly is turning 8 in a few weeks. Look how you've grown. I love you!

An Afternoon with Grandpa Rosa

My dad, aka "Papa Joe", is a huge lover of trains which is expected since it was his life career as an engineer for Kennecott Copper Mine. He knows all there is to know about trains and how they operate. When the train show came to town he got so excited and couldn't wait to take his grandsons with him. They were almost as excited as he was. I was nervous for Max because he has never been with my dad without me. I thought he would cry but he loved it. It meant the world to my dad. Very special memory for all of us.

Eye Testing/Research

Kyle hooked up to wires as part of study for the cure of RP.

Meet the Jazz Night

Conner is a huge Jazz fan and couldn't wait for this years meet and greet. He took 2 of his buddies Jake and Jayden and had an amazing time! He is lucky to have them sign the same ball that is also signed by Deron Williams ( a birthday gift by Grandpa Gum straight from D. Will.)

Finally! Snow Skiing as a Family

Max does all day lessons and we ski. So fun!

Christmas 2011

Not the greatest photos but it will do. Somehow we lost Christmas day photos. Santa brought Conner: XBox, Madden '12, clothes. Lilly: Moped, Malibu Dream House, Barbies and corvette. Max: Bball hoop, pirate ship and stuff. Very fun Christmas!
