Easter Dresses

Spring is here and so is one of my favorite holidays....Easter! Unfortunately I only have one photo. Here are the girls in their pretty Easter dresses!

What the kids are saying

Evie was looking over my shoulder as I put a few photos away in my mission photo album. After asking me to point myself out in the photo she said "Oh, was that when you were really young?" Yes, ten years and two kids was a long time ago....

On our drive to Wyoming.
Evie:"Mom, do you remember sometimes when we are driving and you say'Get out of the way Dude?'"

While playing with the kids the other day
Evie: "Mom, I wish I was two again so that I could be cute like Addy."
Mom: "Oh, Evie, you are already cute AND beautiful!"

OUCH!

My dad had a total knee replacement at the age of 55. It's about a four month recovery and so far he's been a real trooper. I hope I never have to do it!

A sweet moment

Aunt Rachel holding Evie! These are some of the best moments in life. Sure wish you were closer Rach! We miss you!

It's been awhile

I can't believe it's been a whole month since I posted anything on this blog. I guess thats what happens when we move...even if it is only four houses away. While unpacking and organizing I came across photos of my graduation from USU. I thought I would post them just for fun. What a carefree time that was. I loved college! Not only did I get an education but I learned many life lessons. I found a whole other person in me that I didn't know existed. Who knew I could be so strong and independent. I feel bad that my husband didn't have the same experience. His only college experiences were as a married parent. Thats just the hard way to do it!

What was college like for you? Were you single and carefree or a struggling spouse and parent?





I little background on this photo. My dad was on the construction crew building this campus edifice when he was a student at USU. He went to work early one winter morning and fell off the scaffolding. He was found unconscious awhile later. He suffered two broken arms, a broken nose and several broken ribs. I'm so glad he's still here!

Disney on Ice!

We had a blast at Princess Wishes in SLC. I would highly recommend a Disney on ice show to everyone. I remember going to Cinderella on ice when I was a little girl and I wanted to create that same memory for my own girls. The best part about the event was that almost all of the attendants dressed up as princesses. It was so fun to see the sidewalks of SLC filled with little girls hopping, skipping and almost running to the Delta center with the biggest grins on their faces. Mine included....we couldn't get to the building fast enough! Along with ice skating the performers did acrobatics and fireworks. The dragon from sleeping beauty actually breathed fire onto the ice. It was an amazing show and so worth it! This was part of a birthday gift from Gma. & Gpa. Rosie to my girls so they came with us and of course Uncle Cory came along because why not? (For those of you who don't know....at a very young age Evie assigned her own unique names to her grandparents in order to differentiate them. They have the same name as their dogs. For instance my parents are called Gma. & Gpa. Rosie because they have a dog named Rosie. Marks parents are Gma. & Gpa. Gizzy because they have a dog named Gizzy. Their names kind of stuck!)



"Be our guest" from Beauty and the Beast

My Evie girls newest photos.

Our annual free 8x10 from Kiddie Kandids always turns into mommy buying a couple more photos. What can I say....I'm a sucker for a gorgeous girl! Yes I get to brag a bit. Thats my job as a parent! My baby is growing up way too fast (sniff). She loves the the pink fur lined jacket from Gma. Rosie.

I HATE unpacking!

Just to let you all know how I feel about the subject.
