Family Pictures!

Here are some of the family pictures that we got taken right before Riley left on his mission! Pretty fun!

The latest!!!

Ok so here is what has been happening! Riley left on his mission! That has seemed to be what everyone has focused on. And school... Tyler has finals coming up too! So he has been extra busy! Mackenzie's team took the 4A state championship.

Mackenzie's basketball team did great this year! They went completely undefeated! They won the Championship (which is something that every basketball player dreams about doing and only few get to actually experience it). She did great! It was so fun to watch (even though we almost had a heart attack during each game).

We will miss Riley so much! Maci even tried to go in his suitcase! It was really amazing how we have watched him grow into a young man... well... and ELDER! It's crazy that the little boy that used to put grasshoppers down my shirt is going out to Czech to teach those people the gospel! We are really proud of him and know that he will do great! The family has already received a few letters and he loves his companion so far, and is seeing some of his friends in the MTC!

Tyler's sister Maddi is having a little boy!!! We are so excited! Our first nephew! He is going to be so spoiled. She is due in June and is moving back to Utah next week. So it will be good to have them around (instead of clear out in Pennsylvania). We had a baby shower for her and it was loads of fun!

We have had weddings, weddings and more weddings! Chelsi and Jake got married FINALLY, and one of my best friends Laken got married (i was a bridesmaid). They got married on the same day actually!

My teammate from Snow went on a mission! So our team got together for her farewell!

Grandma Caldwell had a birthday! Happy birthday Nanna Shanna!

Here are some random picts from the last few months!

Riley's Mission Call (and stuff)

My little brother Riley got his mission call recently to the CZECH REBUBLIC- speaking the Czech language! So crazy!!! For those of you that don't know where that is... don't worry. Neither did we! Ha it's by Austria, Germany, Poland, and Slovakia. That area. Central Europe.

We are so proud of him. I just can't believe how much he has grown up and matured these last couple years. We know that he is ready to go on a mission and he is going to be a great missionary! After he read his call and was talking to everyone about it, you could see the excitement on his face. He talked to a boy in their ward who just got back from the exact same mission, and of course he said it was the best mission ever!

I just don't know how we are going to lose our brother for two whole years, but know that they will be such a great experience for him and that he will learn a lot!

So what else has been going on? We have been busy the last couple weeks. We finally moved into the house in Sugarhouse! We love it! It's a blast to be out of an apartment and have our own room!!! Once things get more settled i will take some pictures of it! I'm still busy with work and Tyler is still busy with school!!! But we are doing good!

We went to the Jazz and Cavs game with Braden and Mandi Bagley (and family). It was super fun! I bought a lucky green Daron Williams Jazz shirt. Why is it lucky??? Well because that was the game that Gaines (the jazz player who signed for 10 days) hit a last second shot for the win! Best game ever!!!

My best friend Danielle came and stayed with us a few weekends ago! We were super excited because she is going to live with us this summer!!! It was so good to finally see her! We went to the Jazz game with her and my buddy from Snow Sean! We had fun!!! Here are some pictures!
