Anniversary and St George

This has been a blast of a month. Very full of excitement and the month is only half way there! Brandon and I celebrated our 4th Anniversary. Brandon surprised me BIG TIME! The Friday before our Anniversary Brandon says tells me to pack an overnight bag and get ready for the day. Then he left for work with no info! It was the longest day of my life. I went through the whole day trying to think of what we could be doing. At one point I though, well maybe we are just going to a movie. (Movies are a huge deal when you have little kids, crazy, I know) Then my mind started to reel. I began the think: Well maybe Brandon got a private jet and we are flying to Hawaii for the weekend! I knew it was unrealistic, but it is fun to dream! It turned out the be the BEST !Brandon took my downtown and had a Tower Suite at the Little America. The room was fabulous! We went to dinner, then went to the Gateway and watched an IMAX show at the Planetarium, then we went swimming! What a BLAST!

Brandon had arranged for rose, chocolate covered strawberries, sparkling cider and a hotel key engraved with our names and wedding date! I felt like a princess!

He then took me to dinner at the Little America restaurant. It is the BEST food we had ever tasted! Yumm! If you are downtown, you have to go!

Of course if we were living like the rich and famous for a night we had to drink like the rich and famous. Pinkies up!

Thanks for a wonderful surprise and get away, Brandon! It was a much needed break and I loved it! Love You!





This month we went to St. George with my family! We had such a nice time. We rented an awesome condo with everyone, we played and the park, we played tennis, we saw the Tuacahn Shows (this is an outdoor theater in the red rock hills of St. George. We saw The Sound of Music and Les Miserables), and we did lots of swimming!

The kids met Grandpa Grady and Diane for the first time! I think they won a little spot in their hearts!

Fun at the park

The first thing the boys did when we got to the condo was built a fort in the bunk beds. Boys will be Boys!

The kids are a little hesitant about swimming. After a while, they both grew to LOVE it!

Cambree was very insistent that she crawl like a princess, one leg in the air! It was hilarious!

What a fun month we are having! The rest of the month is full of big plans too, so check back soon!

Well, it's about time......and just some fun!

I love seeing the kids play with dad. He is their hero!

So, it is about time! OUR YARD IS FINISHED! We are having a fabulous time in our new yard. It is a lot of work, but a lot of fun! In our back yard we put a GIANT sand box for the kids. Eventually we will put a swingset in the sand, but for now the sand is entertaining enough. On either side of the sandbox we have two trees. One is an Eastern Redbud that will bloom light pink flowers, the other one is a Prairie Fire Crabapple that will bloom dark pink flowers. The best part about the backyard is all the grass that we can run around on! The shed with a garden behind it. We started small this year and got a late start on the garden but we planted squash, zucchini, carrots, broccoli, watermelon, cantelope, and pumpkins.

Isn't is so much better now that there is some color?

This is the corner bed in the front. We planted a Lollipop Crabapple tree that will bloom white flowers and a Flowering Plum that will bloom light pink flowers! We are still waiting for some flowers to bloom, it is fun to see something grow that we planted!

Some fun in a box. Why buy toys when a simple box entertains the kids for hours on end!

Caleb was very insistent that I climb in the box too.....Yeah Right!

Cambree got into the water left over by the hose. We thought this little slug trail was hilarious!

AYE! Mis Amigos, come on over and we will eat some dirt together! Vamanos!

Caleb is with his new little girlfriend Bailey who lives across the street. She is just what he needs. She sticks up for herself when Caleb is a bully. She is a fighter, but also a doll! Caleb loves her!

Cambree's First Birthday!

I can't believe my baby is 1! We celebrated with a Princess Party! This is the cute little cake Me-Ma made! Cambree loved it!Me-Ma and Papa gave Cambree this awesome little car. It has a handle that I can push her with, then when she gets bigger she can use her legs to push herself (Flinstone style). It has sounds and a horn. She LOVED it!

Thanks everyone for coming to our princess party and thanks for all the fun gifts.

Spaghetti night is always a fun night. It is Cambree's favorite food. Everytime I make it she goes crazy. It ends up in her hair and all the way up her arms. We argue over who get to wash her up when she is done! These pictures are so cute, I just had to post them!

For Family Home Evening one week dad brought home packaging bubbles from work. They were great entertainment! Cheap, easy and entertaining activity!

Well our next yard project was done, we put in our fence. It really ads alot to the house!

Random fun from the month of March

This past week we took Caleb to Jump On It. It is right down the street from our house, who knew? It is full of trampolines and big bouncy slides. This is Caleb and his new friend Jace! They had so much fun. Caleb keeps asking me to go back.

We had quite the bed head. It was so cute I just had to share it!

Our really big excitement of the month is getting our first yard project done. We poured cement! We poured a third car pad that came all the way to the backyard and hooked on to a big patio and shed pad. We can't wait for the nice weather to come so we can finish the yard and do more projects!

Grandpa has been over a lot since we moved in, helping us with projects around the house. The kids love having him over! He is their hero!

Macaroni mess!

Easter Fun

Well, Easter was quite the hit at our house. The Easter Bunny came and brought a lot of fun things tot he kids. Caleb loved hunting for the eggs and eating candy at 7:00 in the morning!

What? There is candy inside?

Caleb got a bubble gun! It was the hit of the day.

Eating the basket was more exciting than everything else!

Happy Easter!
