tagg turned 12!

so of course we had to go to red robin because thats the only place where they sing "happy birthday".

best friends. sully and johnny had the BEST basketball season. 

jocelyn and i went to the south for my birthday. it was my first time in new orleans. it was so pretty and full of culture.

we even did a nighttime horse drawn carriage ride through downtown. and we saw two ghosts. i swear.

and ofc made a necessary stop at cafe du monde. 

jocelyn loved the new orleans props.

as much fun as i was having in the south, i was very sad to miss our annual oscars party. my mom came through though. 

after louisiana, we drove over to florida. alys beach was unreal. i cannot wait to go back.

love traveling with my best friend.

and enjoying a little midnight waffle house snack on my birthday.

more beach time. that was such a fun trip.

once i got home, i took huck to his eye appointment. they decided he does need glasses. 

happy valentines day!

we went up to the cabin to play in the snow. sully races up our mountain like a mountain goat!

we spent the weekend sledding, eating treats and watching classic 90s movies. it was perfect. 

hot cocoa break.

we love sledding!

GLASSES!

deception pass on our way to visit gma patsy and gpa ray. willa was a little nervous up there.

a sunny spring day at our favorite park.

getting a cooler pair of glasses. 

before i left for san diego for grant's wedding i prepped. 

prettiest temple ever. 

grant and tylers wedding was so special and beautiful. such an honor to be invited. 

meeting up with my middle school girlfriends at the rb inn for brunch. sooo fun.

afterwards, craig and buzzed up to the happiest place on earth. sooo fun to run around just the two of us. 

SPACE MOUNTAIN.

the next day we hung out at huntington beach. 

i love the beach so much.

tagg received the priesthood and passed the sacrament for the first time. so thankful for his good choices and our supportive family.

buddies since birth.

we surprised tagg with his first co-ed birthday party! my parents surprised me with one at the fun center with i turned 12, so i thought it would be fun to carry on the tradition.

 the party bus!

hot tubbing at megans.

dinner with my mom and linda. 

sully is the bomb dot com on the court.

he sure does love his sunglasses.

tagg's first sesson with skibus. he had a freaking blast.

then snowmageddon hit back at home.

three days in a row snowed in with the kids. but we all survived so win, win!

skiing in our yard. 

had to come up with some crafts to do so we didnt go stir crazy. paper plate snow globes!

best buds built the best snowman.

once we could get on the streets again we headed down to cuban. when i get the craving for a number one, there aint nothing that wills stop me.

it was sunny, so we headed over to the zoo after our lunch. the animals were out! loved this hippo.

and my pink princess loved the pink flamingos.

IT SNOWED AT THE CABIN!

 sledding in the mountains.

the icicles up at the cabin are cool but SCARY.
