Whew the last few weeks have been CRAZY busy!!! Is it really the 13th of APRIL already? I can NOT believe how fast this year is flying by. I was complaining at work the other week about how tired I was, and one of my co-workers was like "Shelley, of course you're tired. Look at how much has been going on in your life!" So true! Anyway, two weekends ago I was able to be part of an amazing event. It's something I am involved in multiple times everyday when I go to work, but having it be my BFF was an awesome experience. She had a BABY!!! I don't even have words to explain how awesome it was. Go here for amazing pics by my other BFF LindseyLou.


 I've know Marquesas for 11 years now! She is such a fun and loving person. I was sooo impressed with the strength I saw in her as she did NATURAL childbirth. Again, I've seen more deliveries then I can count, but she truly handled it like a pro. I was super impressed, you would have thought it was her 6th child haha. I've now known her husband Drew for 10 years and Lindsey for 9 years. and of course Lamay since I met Marquesas. This was such a fun memory to add to the years of memories. Thanks Blimes's!!! And thanks for letting us keep Miles one night, it was sooo fun once he was happy :)
    Saturday was our stake softball tournament. I've been going to these as long as I can remember. This year was kinda sad, cause not that many peeps showed up. Still, we were there from 8am to 4ish for the men's portion of the tourny. The women only had two teams, so we were finished pretty early( 2nd wards team won, my ward, whoohoo). 1st ward mens team won, this is the team my dad, brother and , bro-in-law were on. 2nd ward men's team came in second, this was hubby's team. At that point in the day, Brad didn't care if they won or lost, he was was sooo tired poor thing. Oh and to our ward members, we weren't at church the next day cause I was at work and I took Brad's keys with me accidently. Oh and he pretty much couldn't move lol. Brad and I decided AGAIN, that our baby is awesome! She did so good. She sat in her stroller while I was playing, took a nap in her stoller between games, and never fussed! All day! She wore great-grandma out following her around for one game, it was cute.
First day of the year that the temp hit the 90's

Loved reading this! It's great that you have such a close family and can have such fun together! Raelee is so cut especially in that FSU hat! Glad you could be there for Marquesas, I'm sure it was amazing.
