Raydin and Jayde....

Raydin making a silly face and Jaydes hair after pigtails came out, cause we only leave them in long enough to make our appearance and then.............they're OUT!!!

Our baby is growing up...

I cannot believe that Oakley is alomost one. These are some pictures of her from a month ago when she started pulling herself up to stand. She seemed to love to stand on the tray of the stroller. And now everywhere else of course. Oakley also loves to sit with Daddy while he plays Xbox, it drives him crazy cause she plays with the buttons and cords.

A day at the park....

I stumbled upon this park when I had to turn around cause I couldn't find the library......It has a wild west town for the playground with swings, slides and some buckets to dig with. We took the kids and had a blast. Raydin and Jayde loved it. We lost them in the wild west town, but it is all fenced in and has one exit. Oakley loved the swings, it was just so nice to get out in the cool weather and have some fun with the kids. I am so glad I have them to remind me to let loose a little and just enjoy life and have fun. I am so blessed. I don't see it all the time, but I truly am. And yes if you noticed I cut my hair, chopped it off is how I would put it. I really like it, still am getting used to it on me though. I cut it off Labor Day weekend, Raydin and Jayde were at Grandma and Grandpa Griffiths' and I have been wanting to do it, so I found a place that was open and got it cut. I went to Sanctuary Day Spa, it was so nice. They give you a scalp massage before they wash and cut your hair. It was so relaxing. Thanks Jason for watching Oakley for me in the mall. We didn't have the stroller and he walked around with her for almost two hours. What a sweetheart!

My Birthday.....

Can you believe it, I am 30!!!!! It is so crazy to think that. I don't feel it, that's a good thing right??? I had a great birthday. I got to celebrate it three times. My actual birthday was Friday the 15th of August and we had steaks for dinner, they were so yummy. I love steaks!!! The kids and Jason sang Happy Birthday to me. It was so sweet. Then we had root beer floats. On Saturday, Jason's family came down and we went swimming at the Kearns Fitness Center, they have a really awesome outside plunge area that we enjoy going to. It was a lot of fun. I enjoyed seeing everyone there. We celebrated mine and Jasmine's birthdays. (Jason's sister, hers was on the 14th). I am so glad everyone could come, we missed you Telene and Kate and Joe!!! Sunday I got to spend with my family, my mom brought dinner down and carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. My brothers and sister were able to come to. We had a picnic outside. It was such a great weekend!!! The best part was that Raydin and Jayde kept singing Happy Birthday to me, what anget voices. I love my family and am grateful for all of them and putting up with me. Thanks to everyone friends and family for a great Birthday!!!!

Soccer!!!

Well, Raydin has officially started soccer. He started on the 16th of August. Take a guess at who his coach is.............me!! Yep his mom couldn't say no when they called. I signed up to be a team parent, and help out with things, I never thought I would be his coach. It has been an experience, but a fun one!!! Raydin was so excited that I would be playing soccer with him. He is doing really well. I have a really good team. We are the Purple Dragons, and yes our shirts are purple. At least they are dark purple and not lavender. Jason and I were laughing when I got the uniforms. I have eight kids on my team and they all play really well. This last Saturday Raydin scored two goals. I was so proud of him. He was so excited and talked about it all day. Since it is five and six year olds that play, the coaches are the referees so I can't sit on the sidelines and take pictures, I get to run around the field with the kids. So I didn't get one of him making the goals. Kind of a bummer. I am so grateful that I have the chance to do this with him and that he enjoys me being his coach. Jayde wanted to be in the picture too!! How cute!!
