Ashton is 2!

I can't believe my baby is 2! 

These two years have just flown by.

He is such a cute little boy and we just love to have him in our family.

Happy Birthday!

 Who needs a utensil?



His party was spent in the hotel the night before his birthday. 

We opened presents and had cake.

We were in Disney Land on his big day. 

What better way to celebrate your birthday than going to Disney Land!

Dance It Up!

Izzy had her first dance class this winter.  It was tons of fun watching her learn ballet and tap.  Today was her recital and it was a crack up. 

This is her cute little class.   

Feller's Cake Bake

Okay, so I know I'm not the best blogger and it has been forever sense my last post.  Well tonight I finally got all my pictures I've taken off my camera.  There was a ton, I put it off way too long.  Well I'm not going to go back and post all that has happened over the last five months, I'm just going to start with the last thing. 

In our new ward I am the Cub scout master. 

Okay...stop laughing...I knew I couldn't avoid it forever.  I do have 3 boys after all. 

Well last Friday was our Blue and Gold Banquet and Feller's Cake Bake.  Kev and Cole got to make a cake together.  It was so much fun watching Cole and Kevin make this cake and they did a great job.  It was really hard staying out of the way, even when they almost forgot to add the oil, but they remembered and the cake turned out great.  Their cake was the first to be all eaten. 

It helps to add a lot of candy! 

 Yes, they are wearing different clothes, it is hard to fit in cake making into a dental students schedule.  They made it over two days.



 Cole testing the candy, he knows that the cooks always get to taste test!

 "The Snorkeler"

We had a Hawaiian themed Blue and Gold so all the cakes went with that theme.

It was a fun night...But I'm really glad it's over!



Colorado or Arizona??

Yesterday afternoon we had a storm rip through here.  It had Kevin and I wondering if we were some how still  in Colorado.  It started out like a regular thunder storm  until just after lunch hail started to come down.  I was amazed! 

We live in the desert now, it's not supposed to hail, right?  Well I was wrong.  It continued to rain throughout the afternoon and the streets started to look like lakes.

At one point we thought we had seen the worst of it, but we were wrong.  At about 5:45 pm we started to hear a horrible sound coming from the roof.  We looked outside and this is what we saw.  More hail, but not like before and not like any I had ever seen in Colorado.  It was huge!  I know Colorado can produce hail like this and even bigger, we had just never seen it before.  Funny we had to come to Arizona to see giant hail...who would have thought?  

This is after it had melted some.  They were bigger, they just melted really fast.

(that blue dot at the top of this picture is a tennis ball, just to give an idea)

Lucky for us our house and cars lived through it.  However, other people weren't so lucky.  Our neighbors had broken windows, dented cars, holes in the stucco.  Some friends and neighbors had hail crashing through their car windows, it was crazy!

White Coat Ceremony

Kevin received his white coat today.  It was fun to go see him and support him. 

Cole and Ashton came along as well.

Here's us waiting for it to start

At Midwestern they give the first year students a white coat ceremony.  It is meant to symbolize the beginning of their professional career as a student.  In the speech they were told to use the white cost to remind them to be professional in their studies, relationships, and choices.  So that when they do become doctors they have professionalism in their daily lives and are well on their way to contribute to their communities. 

I am so proud of my hubby!  

First Day of School...

Isabel started preschool this week.

She has been waiting for this for awhile. 

After watching Ethan go last year, she was excited to finally have her turn.  
Finally she gets to use the back pack she got for her birthday.

I also need to post my other student.

Kevin started dental school at Midwestern on August 30th. 

He has been doing very well in his classes and loves every minute of it.

Ethan Is 6!

Our sweet Ethan is six!

He is still very much into anything Mario. 

So when he opened his gift he was so excited to put it lightly!
