GIRLS TRIP!

Everyone needs a good girls trip once in a while...right? This year we headed down to St. George for a little R&R from everyday life. It was so nice to go out to eat w/out the kiddos, layout and get fried (I think pregnancy makes your skin more sensitive), go shopping, go to a movie (17 again---so cute), and just chat w/ the girls. Thanks Trista, Angie, Marcie, Jeanette, Brookly, and Lara for making it so much fun!!! Oh, and I know I heard the rat in the bathroom! Love you all!!!

Marcie & Jeanette in line to eat @ The Pizza Factory (we love you breadtwists!)

Me & my mom (Some whacked out guy @ the pizza factory thought that Angie was mine and Jeanettes mom...even though I'm 8 mths. prego....I don't know what he was thinking! Don't pay any attention to him ang, you look soooo young!

Marcie & Jeanette ---you girls look amazing!

Angie looking so unbelievably hot in her swimsuit

WE LOVE EASTER!

All I have to say is that this Easter was much better than last year (no lost shoes, and screaming baby etc...). The Easter Bunny came bright and early @ 7am so that Jeff could run off to his bishopric meetings. When he got home from church we had an easter egg hunt (inside of course), then went to his parents home for a great Easter dinner and another egg hunt (outside this time, even though it was a bit chilly). There is something so fun about watching your kids do little things like finding an egg. Overall it was a great day!


Love these boys!!!

The cousins who enjoyed the hunt (missed you Ari)

Me with the boys...covering my big fat belly--I am so sneaky!

We had to wake Parker up for the bunny....it explains the face.

I'm not quite sure why Cooper is in his undies....I didn't even notice till now. Oh well, makes for a great picture.

San Diego Trip

We had a blast going to San Diego in February. It was so green-it was beautiful! Too bad we chose one of the coldest weekends to go...oh well, it was still 20 degrees warmer there then here, and I could actually feel the sun again-that was nice. We all loved Sea World...the dolphin and Shamu show, the sharks and flamingos, pretty much everything there. Cooper said his favorite part of the trip was being able to stay in a hotel room w/ bunk beds. Kids are so easy to please. We borrowed a GPS from some friends (thanks Kim & Tyler) and it saved our lives many times. Jeff & I tend to be a little direction clueless most times, so this really was a lifesaver...I'm sold I have to get one. Probably one of the highlights of the trip for me was going to the San Diego Temple. It is unbelievably beautiful!!!!

The kids had so much fun at Legoland! It got pretty chilly by the end of the day, but it didn't bother them, or Jeff much...just me the cold wuss. It amazes me what they can build w/ Legos. President Obamas inauguration was pretty impressive to me, and all the cities they built w/ Legos.

4th Folder, 4th Photo Tag

As you can see...this is Cooper w/Santa at our ward primary party. I think he was 4 yrs. old here. So the rules are: Go to your 4th folder of pics, then to your 4th pic in that folder and tell about it. I am tagging: Angie, Trista, Becky, Mel & Katie. Have fun!

The Big News!

We just found out that baby #3 is another BOY!!!! I really am excited to have 3 boys..they'll be best buddies. Hopefully the next one will be a girl, or I am going to be majorly out numbered. I'm due June 14th-which still seems like forever away, but doesn't it always when you have a growing belly? Wish me luck!

Sledding!

It's possible that we picked the coldest day of the year to go sledding. It was unbelievably freezing!!! Brad, Mel & Ari came with us (Jeffs Bro & wife), and we had a lot of fun for the half hour we could stand the cold. Parker went down the hill and hit a bump, and faceplanted into the snow, and his face was like ice. He didn't think it was so much fun after that. I took Parker home, but Jeff & Coop stayed for a while longer to try out the innertube. Fun times!

So...I'm a little behind

It seems like December and January were so busy, that I just didn't have a whole lot of time to update my blog, so now that things are slowing down....I'm trying to catch up. I got a new camera for Christmas, so I'll probably use it a lot more than my old piece of a camera--yea! Christmas was so much fun! Cooper got lots of Legos, and Parker got a Diego train set that he just loves. Jeffs brothers were in town over Christmas break, so we got to spend some time with them and little Ari that we never get to see. It was definately a good one.
