Pictures since being back in Georgia!

 Our family graham cracker houses we did at Christmas time.

 Adalee and Breanna-Best friends on our porch.

 Outing at the Atlanta Zoo

 In June I spent a whole week away from my family while four months pregnant and volunteered at a camp for special needs children from 7-14 years old. It was a lot of work, but an amazing experience. I missed my family like crazy though!

 Adalee and Breanna at the beach. While waiting for our dinner, they were able to get their faces painted.


 School time activities!


 At the beach!
Fun at the beach with daddy!

We are still alive, just as busy as ever...!

I know it has been forever since I have posted anything, but here we go. After I graduated from BYU in December, we moved back to GA to live for my husband to continue with the family business and save up while waiting for him to get his Masters. We are expecting identical twin boys in October sometime. I don't think there is more room for growth in my stomach, but somehow it still keeps growing. We are all really excited. Adalee started kindergarten in August and we are trying one of the newer programs offered. It is part of the K12 National system, but specific for Georgia, it is called Georgia Cyber Acadamy. It is an online charter school and we are loving it. We get to challenge her at her own pace and use many different tools to teach her one on one. Her sister has been learning right along with her. She has a teacher she meets with in class online a couple times a week and monthly field trips all over the state that have been lots of fun and great in the teaching process. Anyways, we are mainly busy getting ready for our new babies.

I've been lost!

I know it has been forever since I have updated the blog so I am just doing a lot right now, mainly posting pictures of the girls. They have grown up so much and are so fun. I love to see them play together and giggle as they wrestle around. I finished my first semester back at BYU. I love it and struggled with it, but that was a given for me since I hadn't been back to school for 4 years and most of my classes consisted of writing a lot of papers in English and Spanish. I learned a lot and got all A's for the first time in college! Having a family and a husband that inspires you helps with that! We have loved being close to my family, but do miss the South. We are excited for a full and fun summer where I will be off school until the fall.
My sister Leslie got married here in Utah a couple of weeks ago so my whole family was here! It was so much fun. My oldest sister Amy came after having had her 5th baby less than 2 weeks earlier. The girls loved to hold little Lincoln.







Best Buds!

















We last minute found a deal to go watch Disney on Ice in March so we couldn't pass it up! The girls had a blast and we have been reenacting all of it since then! I think Nolan even liked it! Anything so he can be with his girls!:)












Adalee loves to model for the camera and say wear dresses saying she is a different princess everyday.






















We went to watch uncle Tanner (my sister Leslie's husband) play Lacrosse for BYU and got to see Cosmo!!! The girls couldn't keep their eyes off him!








More Pictures!

We have loved being around my siblings since moving out to Provo. The girls love their uncle Jon and aunt Diana. They also love seeing Mary and Leslie (and her new husband Tanner)! Here are some pictures of the girls being spoiled by their aunt and uncle.

More summer pictures!

Nolan likes chocolate so I found a couple recipes I put together of a chocolate cake and mousse for the layers. I made this one for a wedding shower/reception for a young girl in our ward.










With Nolan's cousin, Sarah. I had done her hair early that morning so she could get married at the Orlando temple.




Panama City Beach

It's been a while since I've put pictures on here, so here are some from our trip to Panama City with Nolan's family. We had a wonderful trip and the girls talked about the waves and sand for weeks after.

I'm going back to school!!!!

Well, it has been forever since I have posted anything and so I thought it was about time I did. Now that Nolan has graduated, he is in the process of figuring out where he will go and where to apply for a master's program. In the meantime....I have reapplied to go back to BYU and have been accepted...again...third time's a charm I guess! I plan on finishing this time and focusing my study on Spanish. I would love to be able to teach it or do translation or just study it more. We are really excited and I will start Winter semester in January. For all those who live around there, I will be doing hair still and Nolan will be teaching piano lessons mainly (how to play by ear and make up your music). So, there is a little plug for that if anyone would be interested! Love you all and sorry I'm not the best at keeping in touch. It happens when we don't have internet at our house!:)




It's been awhile......

Nolan graduated in May from Valdosta State University here in Georgia. We are so proud of him.










They are getting so big!

Family

Nolan's grandmother on his mom's side. She has been going through Chemo since Nov.

This past week has been a hard one for Nolan's family as his grandmother Judy past away. She and his granddad lived right in front of us and has been very special to us.

My mom came last month to visit us! We love it when she comes!



Hide and seek Adalee!


Their uncle Oren teaches them all his tricks!





Big Girls!

New Play area

Model with her new bow from grandma Wilson




I have to come up with new things to do for the girls to keep them entertained and having fun. We enjoy reading books on our pile of pillows and blankets.



Best buds!
