Lantern Fest...again

Here is another little video I made.  This one is from the Lantern Fest!

Lindsay in Swan Lake

Snowshoeing at the Cabin

Darin and I took the kids for a day trip to our cabin.
We also took my cousin, Blake, and his girlfriend, Ashley.
By the end of the trip his girlfriend was his fiance!!

Here is a little video of the fun day!
(The end of the video shows the proposal...and spoiler alert...she says YES!)

2015 Video Review!

Here is a video of all our little clips throughout the year!  Enjoy!

Thanksgiving 2015 Video

Raking

Good Morning Life!

This is a video of what I do pretty much every day!

I think this might be one of those "only a mother could love" videos.
Nothing too fun or funny, but I'm sure when I get older, I will love seeing our old "routine."

Snowbird

We had the BEST time at Snowbird this weekend!

Snowbird is a special place to us because that is where Darin took me on our first date and where he proposed!  

We did the Alpine Slide, Climbing Wall, Bounce House, Bungee Trampoline, Aerial Tram and Peruvian Chairlift.

We also went for a hike that was a little intense for our small family, but we had fun!

I carried this boy on my shoulders the whole hike--a pretty good workout.

Andrew, however, took a nap on my shoulders for part of the hike.

Here is a little video of our time at Snowbird.

It is honestly probably the worst video I've ever made, but it will be a good memory for our family.

And note to self:  Taking video from below my face is NOT flattering!  HA!

I was trying to record Andrew while we went down the slide.

But it is mostly (unfortunately) of me from a very unflattering angle!  

Funny Andrew

Andrew does this all the time!  But I finally caught it on video!

I seriously can't stop laughing!!

2012

After doing videos of 2014 and 2013, I did another for 2012.

I realize no one will appreciate these videos as much as I do, I just think my kids are so cute!

I can't believe what a couple years does!  

Fun memories of 2012.....

2013 Family Video

I liked how my 2014 video turned out, so I decided to make another one for 2013!
Stay tuned... I have a feeling 2012 is just around the corner!

2014 Enjoying Every Day

I had a bunch of little videos for 2014 that I didn't really know what to do with.
So, I compiled them all in one place.

This video shows our REAL life.  Messy hair, messy faces, mismatched outfits, being silly, and I LOVE it!

Valentine Video!!

We made a funny little valentine video!  Hope you enjoy it!

Take Me Back to Disneyland!

Here is a little video I made of our trip to Disneyland.

I could watch it over and over (and I have).

It didn't upload as well as I had hoped, but hope you enjoy it!

A Day at the Cabin

We actually got to spend 4 days at the cabin.  We had a great time, and more to come on the blog soon, but for now, here is a little video of one day at the cabin!

Mom's Surprise 60th Birthday!!

Last night was my mom's surprise 60th birthday party.

I may have been planning this for about 6 months.

My mom really is the best. I mean--REALLY THE BEST!!

We did a "double surprise" party.

First the immediate family surprised her at dinner at La Cantina.

(I forgot to snap a picture of her surprised face, so she humored me and did it again).

After dinner, Dad blind folded mom, and we had a second surprise party at our house with all of the extended family.

We had LOTS of desserts

(Chocolate cake, red velvet cupcakes, lemon tart, vanilla blackberry tarts, lemon bars, lemon cookies, chocolate covered marshmallows, keylime pie, sixlets, and lemonheads).

We watched a slideshow of mom's life.

Here is the slideshow, if you're interested

Rick and Uncle Steve roasted the marshmallows over mom's 60 candles!  

And we gave her a book of 60 memories from friends and family!

Thanks everyone for all your help!!

Happy birthday wonderful mother!!

Christmas Day

We had a WONDERFUL Christmas!
We'll have pictures from Christmas Eve and Christmas Day up soon.
But, for now, you can enjoy this little video of our Christmas Day.

Apple Picking and Apple Pie

Yesterday Matt, Lindsay, and I made my favorite apple pie.

We started out by picking the apples from our own back yard.

I love these kids, and decided to make a little movie to go with it.

The words in the song describe a lot of how I feel.

"It's not perfect, but it's everything I've dreamed of."

"It's pure bliss....It doesn't get better than this!"

Overwhelmed

Not sure if anyone will enjoy this as much as I do, but I had to share.

I feel so “overwhelmed” and “overcome with joy” because of this sweet little guy!

Jesus Loves Me

Hope you had a Happy Easter!

The grandparents are probably the only ones that will enjoy this, but I thought it was too cute not to share.  I love this song, I love the message, and I LOVE the little boy singing it!



Jesus climbed the hill
To the garden still
His steps were heavy and slow
Love and a prayer
Took Him there
To the place only He could go

Gethsemane
Jesus loves me
So He went willingly
To Gethsemane

He felt all that was sad, wicked or bad
All the pain we would ever know
While His friends were asleep
He fought to keep
His promise made long ago

Gethsemane
Jesus loves me
So He went willingly
To Gethsemane

The hardest thing That ever was done
The greatest pain that ever was known
The biggest battle that ever was won
This was done by Jesus.
The fight was won by Jesus.

Gethsemane
Jesus loves me
So he gave His gift to me
In Gethsemane

Gethsemane
Jesus loves me
So he gives His gift to me
From Gethsemane
