Happy Father's Day




I also want to say thank you. Thank you for being an amazing daddy, for truly loving the girls as your own. Thank you for helping me be a better mom. Thank you for being the father for them that I was praying for.


We Love You Daddy!

We're all NUTS


Amanda came to stay with us for 5 weeks for one of her PA rotations for school. For those of you that do not know, Amanda is my sister-in-law, Taylor's wife. We were all excited to have her come.
But it soon became apparent that Amanda, Kent, and I must all be nuts.

First of all, let me tell you about this exercise program Amanda and I have been doing together. Has anyone heard of crossfit? It is this crazy super high intensity workout program. We would go together at 6:00 am Monday through Thursday.

Amanda with Jeff Bolton, the over the top trainer that is behind this all. He's the one that pushes us, and shows us we are wrong when we say, "there's no way I can do that!"
We got to be good friends with this pull-up bar. When we started, neither of us could do a real pull up alone. Amanda got up to 3 in a row (that I know of, it could have been more).
Amanda was the really crazy one here. She would go to the class in the morning, then go again at 6:00 that night, two classes a day.
All her hard work paid off. She smoked everyone in the class. She is in seriously AMAZING good shape. What an athlete.

Here we both are, after getting out butts whooped at the end of a class. There is no other way to describe it than flat out NUTS!



Then, we all thought it wouldn't be a big deal to have Taylor bring their two dogs up for a visit.

That makes four dogs, inside one house. I think that speaks for itself.

Kent has got to be the one that is nuttiest of all. He went from living alone as a single bachelor up to the age of 29. Then he decides to get married and move in with FOUR women (me, Camryn, Kendra, and Amanda). Poor guy. What a great sport though. I love you, honey.

Our Receptions













We cut the cake together. Look at this picture. Camryn is soaking wet from playing in the water falls. Kendra is crying because she doesn't think it's a good idea to shove cake in each other's face.

But, look again. This is our family. Camryn is having a blast. Kendra is being held (just as she always wants to be). Kent and I are enjoying the unexpected that goes along with it all.

It doesn't get any better than this.

A big thank you to our moms. They did so much and worked so hard. They did so many things for us to show their love and support. We are so blessed and feel so grateful to have absolutely AMAZING moms.
My Grandpa came from Mesa, Arizona, along with my Aunt Marilyn, Uncle Ron, and cousin Brandon. They are so amazing. I love them all so much. We really couldn't have pulled this off with out Aunt Marilyn and Uncle Ron. Thanks guys.








These two little girls played together all night. I love the way Kendra and Kaydence are such good friends.



My family


We have so many people to thank. We had so much help and support through all of this.
THANK YOU!
