Mark's the Man

May 5th was our 15th anniversary.  I was completely in shock when 5 dozen tulips were delivered to our home.  The card read,  "Since I couldn't get you to Holland this year, I thought I would bring a little Holland to you"  Love, Mark

Wow, what an amazing surprise.  Tulips are my favorite and it was so fun to have them decorating our whole house. 

 Just different angles of the amazingly beautiful flowers.

 Thank you Mark for being so thoughtful.  It was a fabulous surprise.

I love you so much!

We went to Cancun for our 15th Anniversary!
 We had planned to go to London and then on to Holland, but after the Volcano erupted in Iceland and our flights were canceled, we had a slight change of plans.  Originally we were disappointed, but it ended up being a fabulous trip!!!

The kids wishing for Spring....Easter weekend!

Easter weekend was cold, cold, cold! The kids all got new shorts in their Easter baskets and thought they had to wear them. They also wanted pictures, and since Madison has been in Photography club all year, she volunteered to be the photographer. She did a great job and had fun doing it. Tyler took the pictures of her. Maybe soon they will get to wear shorts on a daily basis!

Hot Purple Peppers!

Madison is on a competitive soccer team called the Hot Purple Peppers. She loves it, loves it, loves it!!! They played in Ogden at a indoor facility during the winter and they are now playing spring outdoor soccer. The girls play teams from the surrounding areas and will be playing in a few tournaments this summer.

Madison's last soccer game of indoor they put her in as the goalie, as they had a 9 point lead. Madison's favorite position is forward and she loves to score!!!

Can you tell she plays hard?!

Most of her team!

The girls and their fabulous coaches! (the assistant coach is my personal favorite)
