Liam will turn 11 months old this week and if I could choose one word to describe him, it would be busy! This boy is constantly on the go! I spend most of my day chasing after him, making sure that he can't get into anything that he shouldn't. As you can see, he LOVES to play with toilet paper. If any of the bathroom doors are left open, even for a second, Liam is in there unrolling the TP. He has also gone into the storage room and thrown cat food everywhere, pulled down books from shelves, taken off all the heating vent covers, and taken everything he can off the bottom shelf in the pantry. While I am attempting to clean up the mess he just made, he is making another or booking it up the stairs! He is my sweet little wave of destruction right now :). Isn't he adorable? Even when he is doing all this stuff I can't help but to smile, I love him. Can't believe in another month my sweet baby will be one!

U2!

Yesterday Mike and I went to the U2 concert! It was postponed for a year since Bono hurt his back, and although I feel bad that he got hurt, I really liked having it this year rather than last year. Last year I would have been 8 months pregnant with Liam, crazy how so many things can change in a year!


There were so many people there, it was mind blowing! I heard that there were around 40,000 people at Rice Eccles. It was pretty awesome to party with U2 on the Utes football field :)

There are three stages that are set up in different areas around the world for the tour. It took the stage crew nearly a week to prepare for the concert with the set up.
Here is my handsome date for the evening :) There is no one I would rather party with at a U2 concert. So many of their songs bring back memories and fun times spent with him.
We had amazing seats and the concert was so much fun!

And of course, I could not post this blog without having some amazing U2 songs playing on my play list! Such an amazing night!

Brett's 6th Birthday

I was so happy when Brett told Mike that he wanted to have a pirate party again this year! For one thing, he is so cute as a pirate and the bonus is that we have a lot of pirate decorations from last year!

Here is a pic of the crazy crew! They had so much fun.

Here is some of the Pirate booty they got to take home with them.

One of Brett's favorite gifts at the friend party, he loves this cereal!

Posing with the pinata before they beat it to pieces. The boys have been to enough of Brett's parties that they were all asking about when they got to hit the pinata the second they got to the house, lol.

My two handsome pirates. Mike dressed up again this year as Captain Redblood and the boys love it! Especially Brett.

Arrrrr matey's!

Birthday Boy, so big at 6! We love Brett so much, he really cracks me up on a constant basis with his funny thoughts on life, his silly accents and more. He also frustrates me at times with his stubbornness, but I love how he sticks up for what he thinks. I am so lucky to be his mom, and I look forward to being with him as he grows up. Love you Brett!

Hahaha, just had to post this picture! I love that Mike has so much fun planning parties for the kids. He does such a great job, and the kids always have a great time!

This year Mike made Brett a treasure chest cake. Brett wanted to have pumpkin cake, so pumpkin it was! Delicious!

I love how it turned out and Brett especially loved all the coins and rubies on the cake. After we sang Happy Birthday, all his cousins had fun picking off the treasure and eating it :)

I think Liam loves Peeps almost as much as I do! When he saw his basket Easter morning, he grabbed the Peeps and stuffed them into his mouth, lol!
Aren't these 4 kids adorable? So cute in their new Easter outfits. And amazing that Mike got a fairly decent shot with all 4 of them!
I love this picture, such a smiley little guy!

Mike bought the girls Easter dresses months ago, Savannah was so excited when she finally got to wear it!
Handsome Brett.

And Emma looked beautiful as always.

Since we were all getting pics with our Easter baskets Mike thought we should get some of us too. Nope, the Easter bunny didn't forget us! I think all my chocolate Reeses mini eggs were gone that day. Easter candy is the best!

Easter Egg Hunt

My Grandma and Grandpa have an Easter egg hunt at their house every year and we always look forward to it! I love being able to visit with my cousins that I only see a few times a year and it is always fun to see the kids run around to find their eggs.
Mike helped the kids make the bags to hold their eggs.

Savannah was so cute this year, she was so excited each time she found an egg and wanted me to take a picture of her after each one. So, I had a million cute ones to choose from, each with the same little pose.
Liam thought the whole idea of eggs was fun and couldn't stop smiling.
It took Brett awhile to find his eggs, he was so excited and just kept running around. He found them pretty fast once he started looking :)
Liam with my parents.

Emily is getting so big! I swear it wasn't long ago Mike and I were helping her find her eggs on her very first Easter egg hunt.
Reminiscent of last year, Savannah once again freaked out when it came to pinata time. She thinks the whole idea or hitting something with a stick is pretty barbaric I am sure. Maybe next year!
Brett, on the other hand was the complete opposite. Before I even had a chance to take a picture, he swung the bat so hard and the bottom half of the pinata came off! Hahaha, he is all boy that is for sure!
This is what the pinata looked like after my Dad pieced it back together, lol.
Emily having a shot, she wasn't timid either!
Liam and his first pinata, he was smiling the whole time
