my cute friend paige and her kiddos were in town this last week, so we got together a couple different days with some of my good friends from high school to let our kids play and have a little girl talk at the park. it was definitely nice to relax in the good weather and laugh! love you girls! i can't believe that between the 4 of us we have 6 kids, and just 5 years ago we were graduating high school! so crazy. heather and lily, paige and sami (kaiden was playing!), megan and knox, and me, lucy and clara cute clara and knox- 2 days apart they are obviously in love. until clara punched him in the face. she was hungry. and lily the diva. she is seriously the most beautiful little girl. love her! just lucy- queen of the park. she literally played on the playground for 2 hours straight on wednesday, and friday we were at the castle park from noon to 4pm- she played the WHOLE time. holy cow- the girl loves parks! trying to get a cute picture of kaiden and lucy together! ...

we have had such a crazy last few weeks- I know i keep saying that- but really! every time ben and carrie are in town it's crazy- but as they are really gone for pretty much a year now, we crammed in lots of family fun! Here are all of the adults at dinner saturday night at Lonestar  We also went and saw Kung Fu Panda 2 as a fam- the kids loved it, and had an awesome day up at the Castle park! I love seeing Lucy play with her little cousins! I can't believe next year we will have 3 more girls to add to the chaos!

We had our end of year cheer banquet last night... I cannot believe another year is already over! And I cannot believe I really am done coaching at Orem High! The last 3 years have been so much fun, and such a learning experience for me! Some of these girls have been with me since their sophomore year, and now to see them graduate and go to college is crazy. I seriously love these girls so so much- I couldn't have asked for a better group. They are all such good girls, and all get along so well. We all have so much fun together, and I have LOVED coaching them! Cute Abby and her 'best legs' award--- Love it! Receiving one of two paper plate awards--- mine were the "Be Fake!" award, and the "Last time... if it's good!" award-- I give my girls such good advice! Haha. cute Brooke and I- I have loved coaching with her!  From L to R- Jami, Katie, Madison, Carlie, Cassidy, Sariah, Naomi, Brooke, Whitney, Emily, Mia, Me Madeline, Mary, Abby, Brittany, Co...

The Crosland's had a little get together yesterday out at the 'Farm' for Ben's graduation from vet school! We lucked out and got the one sunny day all week- yay! It was so nice to be outside and Lucy had a blast playing with her cousins on the 'park' (playground at the farm), and of course riding Papa's horses! Congrats Ben! Amy & Uncle Stan Jessi's boyfriend- Mitch Spjut- Our niece Blake is obsessed with him- it's so funny!  then Tyler and Kim-dad Vorhees Little Lulu having the time of her life! I just realized this is the only picture I got of Ben- talking with the grandparents! Macey really likes to have her picture taken... haha Miss Clara Mae- Tyler's aunt Cheryl held her almost the entire time! She is so sweet. Love this- Just getting ready to say the prayer! cute Amy and Uncle Dale- I'm really hoping Amy has her cute baby this week! Blake and her new boyfriend! Really Tall Uncle Mark- and cute Carrie and her kiddos Mi...
