Pinewood Derby 2011

After two years of less-than-successful Pinewood Derby cars Mark and Dallin (OK, pretty much just Mark) really researched all the secrets for a super fast car. And guess what...they came in second out of 22 cars! We were all so excited, especially Dallin who, let's face it, is all about winning.

He was so cute high-fiving everyone going by to race.

Of course we had to do a BYU car, even though the guy running the race didn't know what "U got Jimmer'd" meant.

So proud of my two guys. Brady's already planning on winning next year now that Dad's figured it all out!

Family, family and more family

We've had lots of visitors in the past two weeks. Cody had a conference in Sun Valley so Amber and the kids flew out with him from Michigan. We don't get to see them often so Lindsay, Chelsea and Trevor (plus his new "friend" Kaitlin) all came up to visit.

Four of the six Moyes girls. Just a slight family resemblance ;)

(Only picture I have of Trevor, sorry, none of Kaitlin. She's darling, though, believe me!)

Look how grown up and gorgeous Sydney is.

Here's her personality wrapped up in one picture...full of sass!

I dare you not to smile when you see this cutie Grant. He is the happiest baby ever.

My little peanut Luke is growing up too fast! He's at such a fun stage.

I love all these kiddos so much (and I can't believe I didn't get a single picture of Carter. He really stole my heart and is a real sweetie.) It was definitely exciting (and crazy!) for us to have babies around again. Boy, I forget how much work it is! My sisters are all great mommas and handle it all so easily.

We had a fun time going out (Cafe Rio three times, the mall four!) and staying home to cheer on our Cougars or watch movies.  What a blessing it is to have siblings that are your best friends.

Girls Trip 2011

Last week was my 5th annual Girls Trip with some of my best friends from Phoenix. We've visited every place that we've all moved to except one: Salt Lake. Emily and Susan live in Utah now so we decided that would be our destination. Highlights included:


Seeing "A Tale of Two Cities" at the Hale Center Theater. I can't recommend this musical enough...it was FABULOUS! Just as good as anything you'd see on Broadway. If you're going to be in the area in the next month or so you should definitely go.

We did a session in the SLC Temple...so great to be there with these wonderful, faithful sisters. They are the best examples to me in so many ways.

The rest of the weekend was filled with our usual: eating out, shopping, watching favorite TV shows (this year it was "Modern Family") and staying up waaayyy too late talking.

Here we are at the airport dropping me off for my early flight (can you see how tired we are?)

Love you girls! Can't wait 'til next year!
