Easter

I know this is very late. But our lives have been super busy lately. So here is Easter better late then never. As you can see Dylan is still scared of the Easter Bunny. I got him a little closer this year. But I really tried not to be in this picture.

Chris had the bright idea to use a recyled bag for Dylan this time. So below you can see Dylan with his ginormous green bag. I attached it around him so he wouldn't drag it behind him.

We were so glad to have a nice Easter this year especially since there was no snow!!

We also had an easter egg hunt on Saturday with some friends at dinner club. They gots lots and lots of yummy candy for Dad to eat this year!

Fairy Tale Ball

Hayley had her very first ball. It was for the entire second grade and they each had to dress up as a fairy tale character. She was going to be Belle but her dress doesn't really fit anymore. So the night before she choose to be Arielle. I bought this mermaid costume a while back and it worked good enough. The had to wear their dance card and they danced to 7-8 songs. They did some Idaho Stomp dance and then a few waltzes. They had a daddy/daughter waltz. I think Chris caught on pretty quick.

Here is Hayley dancing the waltz with a boy. She is growing up so fast. Below is our Jack and the Beanstalk corner. Each corner had a theme. It was fun to be creative with some other moms.

Overall it was a fun time. Even though Hayley was embarrassed a lot! I can't believe second grade is almost over.

Trip to Utah

Dylan and I went to Utah for 10 days a few weeks ago. My camera decided to die on the trip so I didn't get any good pictures. It was my mom's big 50!!! So my sister Jayme planned a surprise party for her. I called her on the way there on the shuttle bus and she asked me why I wasn't coming. Of course I had to lie to her. My sister Kristen also came from California. We surprised her so good that she started crying. So the lies were so worth it!

Then the next weekend was the annual Spring Home and Garden Show that we have been in for the last 5 years or so. I think I sold some pools finally this year!! We look forward to Spring and hope to visit Utah again soon!

Be My Valentine!

Since my family was up already for my birthday. They decided to stay for Valentine's Day too. We had lots of fun making and eating sugar cookies. We played lots of games and just had fun hanging out.

Here is our dog Katie and my parents dog Annie. They got along pretty good. Katie was just a little too hyper. Hopefully Katie won't grow too much more. She has doubled in size since we got her.

Big 3*0

So I'm not gonna lie. I was really not looking forward to being 30. But everyone has tried to make me feel a little better. Like JoAnn the Primary President said she felt like when she turned 30 people took her more seriously, like she was finally a grown up. The ward libriarian told me 30 is your best age. It's really when your cheeck bones start to be defined. Then on the today show they were showing Jennifer Aniston who has the same birthday as me by the way. She was turning 40 and they said that 40 is the new 30. So I'm saying that 30 is the new 20.

My mom and my sister Jayme came up for the event. It was fun to have them there. My friend Cari threw me and Wendy a combined party since our birthdays are only 1 day apart. Only 17 hours by the way(Wendy), I did the math! She always rubs it in that I'm older.

My cousin Elizabeth lives in Rexburg now going to school, so she was there too. This is Jenise and I with my gigantic cupcake. After we ate at Craigo's, we went to Confessions of a Shopaholic. It was pretty funny. I am so thankful for all of my wonderful friends. They are one of the reasons I don't really want to leave Rexburg. If only there was no snow. I will never forget my 30th birthday. It was so much fun! Thanks again Cari and everyone else that helped!
