The Beauty Detour!

Alyssa and I had to run some errands in Ogden the other day.

Nothing makes a day of errands better, than a DETOUR to California Nails!
I think we will do that again soon!

Trampoline Fun!

So... we did a little jumping on the trampoline!!

 You cannot underestimate the incredible amount of grace and athleticism that was displayed 

(or something like that!)!

 There were some "solos" performed!

 This doesn't look like a big deal, but Alyssa cried!  Scared her pretty good!  

Haha!  We'll have to try again when she is older!

And we tried to do things we should have stopped trying about a decade ago!  

This is the girls calming down after our crazy afternoon!

So much fun!

Love,

Taryn

Birthday Cake & Family Party!

Wait, how old are you?!

The Sunday following Alyssa's Birthday, we usually have a little family Barbeque!  The weather usually turns out beautiful and everyone enjoys a day outside together as a family!  This year was no different!

Hamburgers, Hot dogs, and Cookie Salad are about all we need to have a great afternoon!

The Artists checking out Alyssa's new Chalk Set!
(Grandma Bowman is supervising!)

Eating Cake with the boys!!

Mesquite Weekend!

We headed out to Mesquite for the Memorial Day Weekend!  It was exactly what we needed!

We spent four AWESOME days in the SUNSHINE!  What did we do in Mesquite?

Alyssa by the Casa Blanca Fountains!

Swim

Lay out by the pool!

Shopped at Dollar Tree

Ate REALLY GREAT food!

Went and saw Mirror, Mirror (which was SO CUTE!)

It was such a fun relaxing weekend!  So grateful when we can just get away as a family to spend some "down time" with each other!

Love,
Taryn

Making the Team!

I am crazy behind!

For Now:  Congratulations Alyssa!
