Makutu's Island

We went with Courtney, Tavia, their kids, and my Mom and Dad to Makutu's Island in Chandler for my nephew, Milo's birthday. We all had a lot of fun! Makutu's Island is a place for kids and adults to play around. They have slides, tunnels, high tunnels and cat walks, and things to climb around on.

We were pretty worn out while the kids were still running around playing. After being there for 3 hours the kids got pretty tired too.

Advocare Success School

In February Drew and I went to Texas for AdvoCare's Success School! We had such a great time and we were really excited that my parents went with us! It was amazing to get so much inspiration and feel so uplifted. It was really great getting to hear form some incredible leaders! We were blown away by how many people were there fighting for a better life!

 

 Waiting to get in with some great people!

 This was just the main stadium with 15,000 people;there was another room with 10,000 more!

 There is Drew Brees (our national spokes person) in front with some of our other endorsers.

 Andy Andrews was one of the speakers. He was quite a riot listening to. If you don't know who he is I recommend reading his book "The Traveler's Gift".

It was pretty cool getting to listen to our CEO Richard Wright and President George W. Bush have a relaxed conversation on stage.

 It was so nice having Mom and Drew there with us this time. Last time it was just Dad and I. We really enjoyed spending the week end with my Mom and Dad.

 Drew and I with our friend Tyler DeBerry. He is an incredible person and a great leader.

After Success School we were able to spend some time with Jimmy and Alicia and their kids. It was really great getting to see them!

Dade's Birthday

For Dade's 4th birthday we had a nice little family party for him.

 He got a Transformers fire station and both of the boys have had a lot of fun playing with it.

Dade's lego cake.

Dade is our little clown. He is always doing such silly things and making us laugh. He loves playing with his big brother. Dade is still my little cuddle bug and he always wants to sit by me and likes to cuddle up close.

Christmas

We had a really good Christmas. We spent a little bit of time on Christmas Eve at my parents house then stayed at Drew's parents house for Christmas Day.

 The boys had a lot of fun every morning trying to find our little elf Dash.

We had Courtney and Tavia's family for Christmas this year. We got to watch them open their presents from us while at my parents house.

The boys love getting to play with Aunt Alexa!

We are so happy to be close to family again. It has been nice being able to see everyone more often and we really missed being able to spend holidays with family. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful family that loves and supports us.

Landen's Birthday

For Landen's 6th birthday he invited a few of his friends from school and church over. They had a lot of fun playing games and running around. It was quite the experience for me to handle 9 crazy boys by myself!

 He got a lot of cool presents. Some of the other kids were trying to open them for him.

He wanted an Avengers cake!

I still can't believe how big both of the boys are getting. Every time I look at them they just look so much bigger and older to me. Landen is almost done with Kindergarten. He is so excited to be a first grader and be able to go to school all day. He really is my little helper and always wants to lend a hand.

Family pictures

We took some family pictures and some baby announcement pictures back in November.

The boys are getting so big.

 

On Thanksgiving we sent these pictures to everyone to announce that we were pregnant. We had fun announcing this way. The boys did a great job keeping it a secret! Since we announced the baby in a fun way we decided to announce the sex in a fun way. I made some cupcakes and put the color of the sex inside. When everyone bit into the cupcakes they found blue!!! Yes we are having boy #3!

Introducing...Taige Owen Pease!

Our back yard

 I got tired of all the dirt in our back yard so we decided to plant grass and put down some pavers.

 Here was our back yard as we were getting ready to fix it up.

After we put down the pavers and our grass grew in.

 

 The boys got a play set for Christmas from Grandma & Grandpa Raley.

 The boys seeing the play set for the first time. They were pretty excited!
