What May Looked Like

When we bought our house,
two squares of the driveway were cracked.
Nine years later, we decided to get it fixed.
Demolition

Construction.
Still need to power wash the rest of the driveway.


Baby geese!






GNO at Bea's house.


Lit a floating lantern in memory of Diane



Second Annual Amazing Race Date Night
We were paired up with a couple we didn't know.
They were AMAZING.




We took FIFTH place out of 21 teams.
Much better than last year's LAST place finish.

Mother's Day spoils! 
Love my new tennis bag, visor, board game and treats.

AND Andrew and Whit worked together
to make a caramel, brownie cheesecake.
SCRUMPTIOUS!

Field trip to the Grasshoppers

Second graders are SO FUN to watch baseball with!

Watch them whip!

Ummmm....not where you want to end up 
when you are chaperoning...the first aid station.
One of my little guys got a bloody nose.




C said, "This sticker book is against the Word of Wisdom.
Look at all this wine!"

The license plate says COMMERCIAL FARM TRUCK.
Their farm must be doing well to be driving that Mercedes around!

My first USTA tennis team. Lots of fun ladies!

C will randomly use her fun money to buy 
fireworks and we get to light them as a family.

Fun!




A dog hit me!!



Post-recital celebration at Sweet Frog



I went to another Hopper's game with my parents and Grandma Cuca

I caught a foul ball!!



Same exact size of pepper container,
but different amount of pepper inside.
Hmmmmm....

Caroline's baptism

Caroline has been looking forward to her baptism for A LONG TIME. In January she had a school assignment to write down some resolutions for 2016 and she wrote that being baptized was her most important goal. What a great example!

One of her besties, R., turned eight the day after Caroline, so they got baptized at the same time. All four of their sets of grandparents live in Utah and ALL FOUR of them came out for the baptism. AND Care Bear had a bonus Great-Grandma Cuca in from Texas. I'm so grateful that family came from far and wide to share this special day with us!

C and I went out a few weeks before her baptism to do a photo shoot in her baptism dress.








She was a great little model for me!
This last photo was my favorite one,
but that streak of sunlight on her arm bugged me.
I spent HOURS trying to edit it to make it look natural.
And then we I actually dropped it into the invitation template,
her arm didn't fit in the frame.
Ha!

R's mom, Jessica, and I worked together
to put together the program.
We had GREAT support from our ward family.
And Caroline invited several friends of other faiths
and five of them came, too.
We felt very loved!

Two cuties, ready to be baptized! 

Grateful for the priesthood and that 
Andrew could baptize her.

Lots of love for Caroline. 


 
Two freshly baptized girls!

They love pandas! :)
