A Prince like Daddy

           The other night I was telly Eden a bedtime story and then we were talking about our day. I had gotten my wedding dress out and put it on just for fun and Eden had thought it amazing and beautiful. She wanted a dress like it. So we started talking that someday she would find a kind handsome prince like daddy and wear a pretty white dress and get to be married inside the Temple. Her eyes got big and she was so excited. " A prince like daddy?!!!! In the Temple?!!!! OK!!!!", she said. It was so cute. She really looks up to Jay. She loves the Temple and loves to wear pretty dresses. If she finds a man, a prince like Jay, I will be overjoyed. They don't come much better than him. I am glad Eden will set her sights hi. Love that girl, and lover her daddy:)

A Quick Laugh for Ya

   So tonight we went to the temple and did Noble family pic for Gmas Bday then we went to a church and had cake and did an Around the Circle. Si while we were there my kids were walking around and playing. Eden and Kyria ( cousin Lauras daughter) were playing together and during some songs that we sang they were dancing. then Eden takes Kyrias hand and puts the other on her shoulder like how couples dance. So cute. Also at the Temple they were walking down the sidewalk holding hands.

  Then Kason was sitting on the floor in the church and found some napkins. He was entertain for like 5 min trying to scrub out scuff marks on the floor. Half the room was busting up while people were trying to say nice things about Gma

  Then they were all just wondering around and Treyden just goes right up to uncle Robert and sits on his lap for 10 min like he was his best friend. They are fun and very friendly for sure. They say hi to everyone in the store and anywhere else I go. Its fun to always get good comments about my cute kids. Everywhere I do someone stops me and has something usually good to say beside the overstated comment "Well, you sure have your hands full". Yeah Yeah I have heard that like 100 times already. They are full of love, laughter, hugs, kisses, learning experiences, and my most precious possessions. I wouldn't trade for anything else to make my hands so full. Here's to my sweet little ones!

5 Years!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Anniversary!!!!!!!!!

Time sure does fly when you are having fun! Five years ago today I married the man of my dreams, Jay Hunt Russell. Our journey so far has had lots of ups and downs, but mostly ups. I wouldn't trade any of it. We have grown closer together and I seriously didn't think I couldn't love him more than I did on our wedding day. Jay, I love you more today than I did 5 years ago. Jay you are my very best friend. I cherish our love and our relationship, as well as the beautiful family we have created together. Thanks for picking me out of the crowd and pursuing me, for loving me, and for helping me grow to be a better person. You motivate me! I love you Jay! Happy Anniversary!
 
 Here are some pictures for recap over the years from wedding day and dating on to our family now. Boy its been a good ride.

July: what we have been up to as of late

    We have had fun the past week or so. Mostly just hanging out and playing in the rain, when it does rain. We also enjoyed a weekend in Snowflake for Gavin and Jenn's wedding. It was really good. The wedding was great and we got some good pictures. The luncheon went well. We sang a song for them based on the song from Tangled " When Will My Life Begin". It was cute and brought tears to a few eyes.  We prayed that it wouldn't rain for the reception and it didn't! It started sprinkling after everything was taken down. It went great and looked awesome.
      My kids had so much fun playing outside and with cousins. Eden would have lived on the trampoline if I let her. I am so glad that the boys can walk now. It was nice just to let them roam around a bit. Too bad we couldn't have stayed longer, or gone up for the 24th celebration. Next year we are taking work off way ahead of time so we can do that. It was nice to beat the heat for a couple days.

One evening when it was sprinkling on and off. It was cool enough to play for a bit.
