VOLLEYBALL CHAMPIONS!!!!!

SO FUN!!!! So this year our city league volleyball team took 1st place!!! We were so excited and had so much fun together! This was our 2nd year playing together (most of us)! Hopefully next year we can do it again!
Top Left-Right: Kris, Maxine (mom), Tara, Renae, Tiffany, Me & Kami
(surprisingly the t-shirts were really cute! I've never had a cute one from any kind of sporting event)
This is a picture of my and my mother!!!! She couldn't play this year because she had back surgery in November! So she was our "coach" and helped us out a lot by her loud voice from the bench!!!! (she was never the quite parent in the stands, or coaching, and I love her for that! She was always my coach growing up and I couldn't have done it without her) She's since then been cleared by her doctor and will hopefully be able to play with us again next year!!!

Happy Birthday Jeff, Ryann & Jackson!!!

Yesterday was Riley's oldest brother Jeff's birthday!!! So we went to their house for dinner along with Jane's family. Today is our niece Ryann's 4th birthday, she loves having her birthday on "Green day". Above is a picture of Gracie, Jeff & Bruce and all of Jeff's *41* candles! (I love giving Riley's bro's and sis-in-laws a hard time about their age, cause they give me a hard time cause I'm so young.)
Jeff, is a die-hard Ute fan so as a joke I wrapped up a bunch of old BYU books and gave them to him as his gift. Then we later gave him his real gift, which was a gift card to Mad Dog Biking.
My mom always made us the cutest cakes growing up and she has kept all of the cake pans! So I've attempted to make a few of them myself. Ryann was having a "My Little Pony" party so I made her this cake, which she loved!
This one wasn't too bad! I baked it Saturday night at like 10:30 and then it only took me like an 1 1/2 hours to decorate!
Ryann is such a little Princess and loves dressing up! So we bought her this cute little Belle doll, a princess night-lite and a princess charm bracelet!

This Thursday will be Jane's nephew Jackson's birthday as well, so we were celebrating that too! This is a picture of him with his big sister Brynn helping him open his presents along with the help of his cousins Bruce and Gracie! (I love watching kids open their gifts cause they are so full of energy and so are all the others around them)
This would be 2 of my cute sis-in-laws, Jane & Mel! Pulling all of those candles off Jeff's cake =) I was giving Jane a hard time cause she was throwing them right into the garbage, and sad but true my family always keeps old candles to reuse them!
This is a picture of all the left-over food, and most of the people (kind of)! We always have way to much food at these get-togethers. But it's yummy food!
Happy birthday Jeff, Ryann & Jackson!

Update!!!

Ok so I've been awful about blogging lately, but for good reason I've been really busy! Promise to still update on that later, when we get all done with the house! But for now a little of what we've been up to!

Valentines Day!!! So last year on Valentines day I snuck over to Riley's work during lunch and "heart attacked" his truck. So this year I did the same thing except I did it the night before, so he would see it when he went to work in the morning! It was his turn to drive to work (he carpools w/Dylan) but for some reason (probably because he knew I would do something) they decided Dylan would drive this day!


Back Window!
We went to dinner w/Dylan & Carly to "Mimi's Cafe" and then attempted to go to a movie but that was a joke, so we ended up just coming home after dinner.



A couple weekends later Dylan brought the kids down to see if we wanted to go to lunch with them (Carly was sleeping cause she worked the night before)! Before we left for lunch we turned the kids loose in the backyard! Hand a kid a rake and he'll have fun for a little while! They loved making piles with the leaves and then jumping in them and scattering them!


I even got Riley and Dylan to do a little clean up!!Here is their Adorable 3 kids! Brennan, Grady & Ally!! (we love these little ones like they were our nieces and nephews, actually they call us Uncle Riley and Aunt Nana)
