Summer is Officially Here

We started our first day of summer up American Fork Canyon with our good friends.  We had a picnic lunch and the kids hiked around.  We had a ball, dirty hands and feet but lots of laughs and memories.  It was a pretty day and we were out of school, we were in heaven. The start of one good summer...

PlayOffs Here we Come!

Toms Baseball Team "Storm" is going to the PlayOffs this weekend. 

Good Luck Storm ! 

Tom has loved his team and Coach.  He has some good buddies he plays with.

MAX...Need We Say More?

Max is so dang cute. He is very particular and detailed. He can do anything he sets his mind to. Loves to follow Thomas around. Loves playing baseball and soccer and football and basketball and ride his scooter! WOW... He is awesome. He has a huge heart and want to have a buddy around all the time. He is our cuddle bug and story teller. You should let him tell ya one. He is amazing with his little sister Anne. Loves to take tubbys, play matchbox cars and knows everyone by heart (all 100+ of them) and play Game Cube. He can win Grace and I any day any time... Max loves life and everyone can see it. We love you Max !

Princess Anne

Our baby is officially our princess. She spent the day in beautiful dresses. She cries for everything that she wants, then politely says "Thank you Mom" or "Thank you Max" or whom ever she is talking to. She couldn't be cuter though... She loves everyone around her. She is definitely a copycat. Doing everything her brothers and sister are doing.  She loves her blanket and sippy cup, and baby in tow.  She is a girly girl and we loves it.   She is a fast little thing, running with a new pair of shoes every time you look down. And has a smile on her face 9 times out of ten, and thats when you know your in trouble (her face shows it)  She is beautiful, with big blue eyes and white blond hair. We love her so...

Grace... The Ultimate Cheerleader

Our Grace is the oldest and truly the cheerleader for our entire family. She actually cheers everyday of the week. Monday, Wednesday and Friday is 5th grade cheer. She has a darling group of girls made from the Cedar Hills Elementary schools, Cedar Ridge and Deerfield. They are preparing for this fall. Then Tuesday and Thursday she has Flyerz All Stars. Where she is in a Competion Cheer Team. She has been doing this for the past few years, she absolutely loves it. She is the best at stunting, without her most things wouldn't stick like they do. She is tough and has the muscles to prove it. Grace is our cheerleader at home too. She is the best big sister to two little brothers and one sister. She loves everyone and takes such good care of them. Grace is an amazing example to her whole family. We love you Gracie.

Soccer... Over but not forgotten

Soccer may be over but it was a great run. Fall and Spring with a great team and a fantastic coach. Thomas took such a liking to his coach, Coach Mac was one of a kind.
We got Basketball in between soccer seasons and with his dad helping coach Tom had a ball. We still have Baseball to finish up the first part of summer, and loving it. Then FOOTBALL starts in July. Tom is our sports fanatic, can't get enough of anything. Good job T-Bone we love watching you, and his Little Bro. Max following closely behind.

HAPPY 60 YEARS TO NANA!

We celebrated our sweet moms' birthday this past Monday night. With her loved ones waiting inside our home, Nana carefully opened the front door to a big SURPRISE and what a surprise it was. Her family standing there to wish her a Happy Birthday that she never expected to see. It was so fun to be with everyone and celebrate our Nanas life. The highlight of the night for me came when all of her grandchildren were dancing on the front walkway, when the grandkids convinced mom to come and dance along too. She was hesitant and after taking off her oxygen with a little panic showing on her face she stood up with their help and danced the best she knew how. It tickled those kids so much. Nanas has always been a ballerina and she was in her element. I sat and watched as tears rolled down my cheeks... I thought to myself, "She shouldn't be here, and just look at her go." My mom is a precious miracle that we have been blessed with. How grateful I am for being given her as my mother. The great lessons of love and perseverance and faith to give life all you have. She has given me the greatest gift a mother could give her child...Everything she has! The love of her family and the gospel is what she treasures most. I have learned more than the world with ever know by watching my mother. We love you Nana and Happy Birthday.

Anne and Cutie stay in Utah...

A very special THANK YOU to our dear friends who took extra special care of our ANNIE and our puppy CUTIE.
We are so grateful to them for their love. We knew they were left in good hands.
Lots of tears from mom and the kids asking if Anne could please come with us. They even thought to pack Cutie in our suitcase all the way to Hawaii. But in the end we knew she was getting lots of love and had a handful of instant buddies. She was safe and with the best family ever. We love you all!

Spring Break in Hawaii

After big hugs and kisses to our baby Anne, we left her in the hands of our dear friends, that so lovingly took her on their spring break too. Mom had lots of tears but made it to the airport where our vacation began... We met our cousins with big smiles and a much anticipated 10 days of fun and thats exactly what we had. From long days in the sun, on the beach and pool to our nights in the quaint little town of Haleiwa. We had our fair share of Shaved ice and fun little shops.
We have lots of memories from great snorkeling and body surfing to taking pictures with huge turtles and who can forget the PCC. We met up with our favorite 2nd cousins the"Richards Family." A vacation with the Pitts would'nt be complete without them too. We walked around the temple and ate at Giovani's shrimp shack. The best part, we had our dad all to ourselves for a whole 10 days. The kids couldn't get enough of their cousins, Rachael, Ali, Cami and Claire. They laughed until their tummys hurt and loved every minute. We enjoyed our time with Greg and Melisa. With thanks to the Big Girls we even got in a date night with them too. We could not have been more content.
The weather was perfect the company great and a spring break to remember. WE ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE...
Lots of memories and pictures to prove it... We loved it and hope for another vacation in Hawaii very soon.
