Happy Birthday Baby!

I just want to do a quick post to tell my 'baby' happy birthday! She is four years old today, I can't believe how fast time flies by. It seems like yesterday I was calling Chris to tell him he better head home because it was time. She sure didn't want to get here as quickly as Bode did though. Which was probably good since Chris had to drive from St. George to Nephi. She ended up taking long enough for the administrators at the hospital to realize I had had a c-section in the past so they made me have another. I was pretty upset since I had both my boys normal since my c-section with Mylee, but I just figured it meant my girls were supposed to come into this world the same way (cut out, not pushed out). She is quite the little princess and keeps us all in line. We all just love her to pieces and hope her birthday is as special as she is.

Mom's Day!

I just want to wish my mom a very Happy Mother's Day. I hope she has a wonderful day because she deserves it! She has done so much for me that words couldn't express how grateful I am. She's not only an amazing mom but an awesome grandma. She is always so loving, caring & supportive of all her daughter's, sons-in-law, and grandkids and I know we all appreciate her for that. I have some wonderful memories of my mom while four-wheeling, dancing in the living room (her doing the roger rabbit & running man, lol), keeping her awake on our many trips to and from Nephi & her staying right by mine and Chris' sides in everything we do. My mom has been a great example of how a person should love unconditionally. I love her so much and feel very blessed to be her daughter.
I am not only blessed to have such an amazing mom but lucky enough to have a second one. I have heard many horror stories about mothers-in-law, but I have never been able to relate to any of them. (thank goodness! lol) Like my mom, she is always so supportive and loving. I am so thankful to her for the wonderful son she raised for me to spend eternity with.
I want to thank both of them for all they do for me and my family.
I love you!

Regional Dance Competition 2009

Last weekend we went to Flagstaff Arizona for our regional dance competition. It was so much fun! JJ and Megans girls are on the Show Team this year so Mylee and I road with Megan and her girls to the competition, it was fun to have them with us this year.
All our dancers did an awesome job! (all our dances got Excellent or Superior)
I am especially proud of Mylee though. She competed in the solo competition and danced beautifully, but that is not the only reason I am so proud of her. At the solo awards the announcer mis-pronounced Mylee's name and it sounded more like 1st runner up is 'Me-lee'. Well Bailey P. thought they had called her name so she ran up, then he proceeded to call Queen is Bailey. Mylee figured it was her since they had called everyone else in her division. As they were putting the crown and sash on Mylee I had to go up and get the names straightened out. Mylee ended up with 1st runner up, which is still awesome, and as hard as it was to not get the crown that they were placing on her head, she kept that big beautiful smile on her face while her little heart was breaking inside. She loves dance and works so hard each week and I couldn't be more proud of the way she handled herself.
Here she is right after the whole mix up.

These were all the girls that danced in her division.

The girls in this next picture also dance for Southern Utah. Yes, it was one of Mylees little friends that dances with her that ended up getting the crown. They all did an amazing job!
Here are some more fun pics from the competition!
We have Nationals in June! Woo Hoo!
