Martin Sexton

Can I just say for the 100th time that I LOVE Martin Sexton???

He is AMAZING!!!

He is amazing for so many reasons, one being the free concert he put on at the Canyons in Park City!

We loaded up, drove up the canyon and enjoyed a two hour concert! The sun was shining and Afton had so much fun in the beginning dancing in the middle of the crowd but finally decided it was just too loud. (We were about 10 feet away from him.)

Brett and Afton eventually wandered up the little hill next to the stage and she played and played. Every now and then I would wander over to where they were but always ended up back in front of the show. At one point Afton made friends with some little girls and they played on the side of the stage. Afton actually ran onto the stage a couple of times but Brett grabbed her before she got too far away!

I ran into some old friends and had fun talking about what big fans we were back in the day! Hehe

After the show I ran behind the stage and asked for a photo. The last one I had taken was about 10 years ago and my hair was blond (not cute)! He said, yes if you follow me. So of course I did and then a lot of other people starting following as well. We ended up inside and he was being bombarded a bit but turned and said, where's that girl? He saw me and put his arm around me and I was so excited! I even got little Aftee in the picture!

The ride up and down the hill was Afton's favorite part! It was such a beautiful day! 

 Can you even stand how excited I am??? No one else was even paying attention! :) What a dork!

Girl's Day Out

Funny to say girls day out because every day is girl's day for me and Afton! I am so lucky to get to spend all day with my little sweetie. We have so much fun!

The Letter V

Can I just say I am really enjoying joy school? It's not really joy school but a few mom's who trade off teaching each week. We have a schedule and we stick to it pretty closely and the kids seem to have a great time.

This week I had the letter V and decided to talk about vegetables. I have some stuffed vegetables (with faces and they were a big hit) I bought when I was teaching and lots of great books.

We did a lot of fun activities today but the kids were the most excited about painting and planting. We used carrots and celery to create our wonderful paintings and as they were drying we walked out to the garden, gathered up some soil and went back in to plant peas. While planting peas we ate carrots and celery dipped in a little tiny cup filled with ranch dressing!

We did a finger play about carrots growing in the garden, learned a new song about vegetables and spent the last few minutes of the day just playing outside!

BYU Spring Game

Every year Brett gets so excited to see BYU play in the spring. Last year it was freezing and wet so we were excited this year when the sun was shining and everything was dry. Afton loves running around with her cousins and had so much fun after the game throwing around a little football.

Brett's cousin Joe is one of the coaches so we get to hang out and the boys get the inside scoop!

Photo shoot

My sweet friend Jen recently had a baby and asked if I'd take some pictures of her cute baby and her cute family. We did the baby pictures at my house and the family shoot at Wheeler Farm!

Here are a few of my favorites!

OMGosh Park

This park is scaaaary.....
When I showed the pictures to my mom she said,  "I'm not sure you'll want to take the boys (my nephews) there." We'll see....

Brett and I took Afton and there had to have been 100 people or more. Everything was covered in bodies and some of these contraptions are scary because they're so high off the ground. We packed a lunch and every now and then we'd have a little something to eat and then off to play again. It sure was fun!

The contraption in the last picture was great. It's a swing with two seats and as you swing you push the other person into the air. Brett and I tried it out and I got pretty high (not as high as Afton) - too bad we couldn't get a picture!

At the Park

Afton and Harvey can be such goofballs and Afton loves the swings and the climbing wall! It's so great to feel some sunshine!

Another drive

Most of the time I love living in Lehi because there is so much open space and so much wildlife. Today on our drive we saw a lot of hawks and stopped on the road to watch some antelope cross. It's fun knowing this is every day for Afton and she has her own little 'noculars' she can use while sitting in the back seat. She loves looking for eagles, hawks, deer, squirrels, and whatever else is roaming around.
