Play Date

 Bentley had Nixon his friend over to play a while  back and they wanted McDonald's for lunch and then to play motorcycles so that is just what we did.

 These little boys can imagine and play forever. 

Thanks Nixon for coming over to play! Love Bentley

Sad Day!

 My good friend Summer and her family moved to Prescott a few months ago. It's been sad not seeing her at all the different functions. We miss you Summer! Before they left we all went out to dinner up in the Hualapai's. Above is Summer and Brit.

Above are out friends Kate and Nate Porter!

 Hillary and Jeremiah joined us as well.

 Summer it has been so fun getting to know you and I am glad that I can call you a friend! I hope that living in Prescott just a few short hours away doesn't keep us from seeing each other!

Above are our sad faces because we all will miss the Haws so much! Love ya Summer!

PS This was back a few months...I am just really behind in posting :)

 After the Race

 Nate took 3rd and Nick took 4th

 Wouldn't be a true motorcross race without Monster's!

 Number 2 fan! (only because Bentley is his number 1)

Nick decides to sign up to race this motorcross race here in Kingman last weekend. I thought he was a little crazy since he hasn't raced in forever! Above you can see them all at the starting line and then they all take off and who is left sitting there....NICK! I was freaking out.. of course his bike stalls out on him as he was trying to take off. Sad! He was instantly in last place but I am pretty proud of him for catching up and passing a lot of the other bikes and eventually taking fourth place. He was kind of discouraged, but realized that it was just a race and that he would do it all over again because he had so much fun! He raced with his buddy Nate and he took 3rd! Congrats guys on your first race! O I have to add that Bentley was asleep in the stands until daddy was up then I woke him and he yelled and screamed for his daddy! He said, "GO DAD!" Also after the race we drove over to the pit and I let him out to go give dad a hug and the first thing I heard him say was, "I'm so proud of you Dad!" It was all worth it!

Daffodil's!

A Friend brought these to me! They are the coolest thing ever. You buy them at Safeway just in a bundle and cut the stems off place them in water and wha-la! They bloom within hours! I love daffodil's they are so refreshing!

Baptisms!

Last weekend we were able to attend the baptisms of Ryan and Jessi's kids. It has been so fun to watch them learn and grow in the gospel. The pictures above were taken at the dinner we had at the Timmerman's house afterwards. Jessi's parents are so amazing. Even though I don't get to see them much, when I do it's as if they are my own parents. Thanks Jess for sharing this special day with us!

It must be spring!

It must be spring here in Kingman! Nick has been fertilizing and mowing our lawn already! The garden has been planted (the things that can be this early), we have started BBQing, and I have new planters around my tree's in the front yard with lots of colorful flowers in them!! OH how we love SPRING!

Bentley's idea for Family Home Evening

Two weeks ago for family night we let Bentley decide what he wanted to do for the activity and he chose to play Candy Land! I thought well this won't be much of a lesson teaching activity, but alright we'll go with it! 

It started out just fine...but then Daddy started winning! Bentley started to get upset and the situation started escalating. Immediately I thought this is perfect! Nick and I can take the opportunity to teach Bentley about winning and losing and being a good team player. We were able to teach him that there will be times when you lose and that it's okay. ITS JUST A GAME! So that was the moral to our FHE! Sorry, Nick for the picture of you... once again your eyes are doing something weird!
