Family Pictures & Homecoming
For the first time in 5 years, my whole family was together so for sure we had to get some family pics done!!! These are the only ones that I got with my camera....
My sisters, Sharlyn & Ashleigh, brother-in-law Nick, and my brothers, Matt and Bradley
Tate had fallen down the week prior to Bradley's homecoming and had gotten the biggest goose egg on his forehead; it had started to go away and then while we were at my mom's for Brad's homecoming, he fell down again and got another goose egg in the same place!! I'm seriously going to have to get a helmet for this one!!!

Welcome Home!!!
My baby brother (seriously, he's the youngest of 7) came home from his mission on May 1. It is so good to have him home!!! This was the only picture I got of that day... sorry! He finally got to meet Tate!!!
and so it begins....
Jackson started his first extracurricular activity this year: t-ball!!! It was pretty funny to watch him, he is so enthusiastic!! He always wanted to be the first up to bat and he had to be the first one to get the ball, wherever it was hit to. The funny thing was, he usually was first to it, but sometimes when he wasn't he tended to tackle. Guess he got his sports mixed up. While we were walking to his first game, Brent turned to me and asked "are you ready for this?" and I said "ready for what?" and he said "your life as a soccer mom has now started" AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!
