Happy birthday to my hubby!

Happy birthday to the best husband ever!
Just a few things I love about Trent!

• He is a great Dad and will run around with Owen just to get a laugh out of him!
• He loves me with all his heart!
• He has the best smile ever!
• His brown eyes get him out of a lot of trouble with me :)
• He loves the Lord and the scriptures
• He will rub my feet and listen to my whining without complaint :)
• He puts Owen to bed pretty much every night.
• He does the drive home in the afternoon so I don't have to deal with the traffic
• All in all he is just an awesome man and I am lucky to have him!
  

Here is Trent when he was like 2

Here he is 7 and I LOVE his face of
excitement in this picture :)

Then he grew into a man :)

Then we met and married!

And now he is the
best family man ever!

Happy Birthday Trent!
I love you!

Just like Daddy!

Owen loves playing the piano with Daddy!
I just thought I would post this video
and a couple pictures that melt my heart!
So enjoy! :)

Owen's first visit to the zoo!

For Mabels third birthday she thought the Zoo sounded fun
so I invited the one friend she has i.e. Rachel to go to the
zoo with us and of course that meant Jenna and Ashley came too!
We had so much fun! Owen loved the Zoo and looking at all the animals.
We ate lunch at the zoo and then went back to the Crouses house to have
cupcakes and play for a little longer since it started raining.

Checking out the Monkeys :)

Owen loved the monkeys!

And they all liked the elephants!

On the train ride around the zoo!

He didn't really like it and wanted me to hold pretty
much right after I took this picture!

Napping cousins :)

Mabel blowing out her candles!
I can't believe she is 3!

Dino Park with Daddy!

A couple Saturdays ago Trent took Owen and the girls to the dino park in

Ogden so I could clean my house without Owen
undoing the clean faster than I can clean it :)

They had a blast! Below is a few pictures from the park.
Also Owen got his first black eye and you can
kind of see it in some of the pictures.
He fell down and hit his eye on the corner of the stairs,
it was very sad but he lived to tell about it :)

Spicy or Sassy or both!?!?

I got the itch to redo our very boring bedroom :)
So while Trent was at the Dinosaur park with all the kids
Suzie and I went to Ikea and Walmart and below is
what we came up with and
I LOVE how it turned out!



Thanks Suzie for helping me pick out everything and helping me paint!

So... what do you think? Spicy, Sassy or both :)

Josh's birthday BBQ and hanging out with the Waldens!

The Waldens came to UT and we were able to see

them and have a BBQ for Josh's 15th birthday.
We had so much fun and I haven't seen Owen take to strangers
like he did with Nicole and her kids.
It melts my heart to see the little boy I nannied
just fall in love with my little man and for Owen to
want to hang out with Josh!

We ate and talked and sang happy birthday to Josh and then the next day
I went school shopping and out to lunch with Nicole and all the kids.
Owen LOVED being around them all day!
Josh was so stinkin' cute! He wanted to hold Owen and play with
him pretty much the whole time we were with them.

The Smith family picnic :)

Once a year Trent's side of the family get together
in Eureka and we ride four wheelers play at the
park and eat lunch and dinner
and do a lot of talking :)

This year we did all that but on top of it all Eureka was
having Eureka days which isn't that big of a deal
seeing that maybe 800 people live in the whole town :)

So the kids got to play with the cousins all day
and got to play a couple carnival games and jump in a bounce house.
