Baptism Day!

The little boys made a choice to get baptized. I am so proud of these guys! They heard about it in children's church and asked Curt and I if they could get baptized. We told them that they need to learn and pray a little more about and then decide if they want to make that choice. So, our friend Jared came and talked with the boys. The questions and answers from these two melts my heart. They actually have been an example for me and they have no constraints in getting to know Jesus. I have two wonderful boys.....I love you guys! Curtis was able to baptize his boys along with Jared and Bryan. The boys also had Grandpa Brackett, Justin, Uncle Kevin, Aunt Connie, Kyle and Angela, Aunt Kristen, Uncle Mark, Bailey, Bradley, and Maria, Uncle Aaron, Aunt Heather, Caden, Porter, and Sis come and support them. LUCKY BOYS!




A Cooper Story: The night before, Cooper told Steph, "Hey Steph, I can do a flip off this couch.....buuut I'm gonna wait until after I get baptized tomorrow, so God is with me." This kid cracks me up.

My boys.....with ME!

In my attempts to "simplify" things in my life (it's amazing where you can make cutbacks...:), I have decided to bring the boys to school with me! I love our neighborhood school and the teachers. Chase was selected "Student of the Year" from his entire school last year. So proud. But, I can't keep up with the boys, me, Curt and Blakes different school schedules. I felt like I wasn't involved, I didn't know what was going on, or how they were keeping up, and could never make it to their school functions. It was so awesome seeing them throughout the first day of school today. They both have amazing teachers. I've taught with Michelle for 3 years and it will be fun to have Chase in 6th grade with me. Nancy, Coop's teacher, takes classes with Michelle and I. She makes sure we have healthy/yummy treats for class and always looks out for us. I told her, "I won't believe everything he says, if you don't".....Ha! Seriously, he comes up with the craziest things.
There are downsides......I no longer have that 25 minute drive before and after school by myself. I truly loved that down time to listen to my music and clear my head. Also, managing them in my classroom after school will be a pain. Although, it's a great time for them to read or get homework done, so we will work on a good routine. I also have school Wednesday nights so I'll have to get them home somehow. Whatevs, I get to be with my boys at school....I'm a happy momma.

Sundance

LOVE going up into the mountains and watching the Sundance Theatre outdoors. On our honeymoon, we stayed in Park City and went to South Pacific at Sundance. We haven't been back since, I don't know why, it's so awesome! 16 years later, we celebrated our anniversary by going to dinner, seeing Sound of Music and stayed overnight at an awesome lodge near Jordanelle. A much needed time for us!

Curt's 90's Birthday Bash!

Happy Birthday Babe! It was a blast celebrating your 36th Birthday....Whooooo Hooooo!

Curtis-"Let's get a picture of us like we were in High School......" Me-"Come on Blake, you were there...." Haha JK, kinda.

Thanks to all our family and friends for sharing good times with us....you were all great sports!
DeAnn said she was pregnant most of the 90's. Funny. True.

Screech, Kelly Kapowski, and Vanilla Ice

I literally pee'd my pants a little when I saw Jenny walk in.....with shoulder pads.

Me and my Mom....I mean, Kristen. Seriously, those were our Mom's suede pants and turtle neck. Hilarious!

We played a game of pictionary after Curt and I skooled everyone in the Newleywed game....haha!

Yummy Rice Krispy Sushi rolls :)

The boys pre-funk!
