Lastest book I am reading

I haven't read in a while and I had been craving a good read. I asked my good friend Steff for a recommendation. I have loved this book. ( I know that most of you readers have already read this =), but I am loving it.

Easter decorations

My absolute favorite time of the year to decorate for is easter and fall-Halloween. I love finding cute rabbits at Tai Pan. They have the best decorations. Seriously I could spend So much money there. They always have the cutest ideas. LOVE LOVE LOVE that place! P.S. excuse the dust and the bottle of sunscreen and the stuff hanging out of my drawers. I'd like to say it NEVER looks like that but... the sunscreen is right by the door (so we wont forget it when we go out), the girls are always crafting and pulling stuff out of the hutch, and for the dusting part, well I do that when I am expecting company.

My BEAUTIFUL spring flowers

Flowers make me so happy, this spring my yard looked soooo pretty. when we left for Arizona my flowers were blooming and beautiful, when we returned they had all fallen off and now my yard no longer has the purple flowers. If I could have any service given to me I would choose to have a gardener; someone to make my yard full of color and they would pull the weeds. For now I do that myself and most of the time I fall short. Oh well.....

Weeknight Dinner....

So the kids didn't think of this on their own, Wyatt started the cheetoes in the nose. The kids thought it was hilarious, It was pretty funny though.


Womens Conference at BYU

One of my absolute favorite highlights of the year is my girls weekend at Womens Conference. Tiff, Kathie, Lori and I went this year. We missed Krystal and Heather. We always have so much fun, and I will be so sad that this year because I will miss Womens Conference. I will be at home with my new baby, so that is why I will have to miss it this coming year. UNLESS Wyatt can start lactating..... then I can go for my girls weekend.

Sushi night at the Austin's

So Wyatt has started rolling sushi. The kids LOVE it. We were eating and making the rolls for about 2 hours. SUPER fun. We have now perfected the rolls and they are delish!


Date night???

So I guess this is what happens when Wyatt and I go on dates..... I KNOW I would not have okay-ed this...

EASTER

This year Easter was on the same Sunday as General Conference. I loved taking it easy not rushing to get the kids all ready for church. Later on that day the Buss' came over for dinner and the second session of conference. It was a great day and it was nice to spend it with family.


SPA DAY

The girls are DESPERATELY wanting to lay out and have a relaxing spa day. I think it still must've been chilly because the "laying out" involves wearing jeans and sweaters.....

Smore night

Wyatt got a smore maker for the kids. Ya stick the grahams, chocolate and mallo in this little gadget and stick it in the microwave and voilĂ  SMORES.



Valentines Day 2010


We made Candy Grams for the kids for Valentines this year. I was thinking that I kinda wimped out this year on the kids valentines, but they LOVED them. It was so cute. They also wanted a special dinner so we made chicken cordon bleu w/ Hollandaise sauce, funeral potatoes and cheesy broccoli. It was a fun day, and I love to make holidays special for my family.


Jon's Blue and Gold Banquet

Each of the boys were asked to make a cake for the banquet. Jon made a volcano cake and there was crumbled up heath bar on top and a cup of dry ice to look like steam that came out of the top.
Just a few pictures of one of our trips to the Aquarium.




Visiting the Aquarium in February

So I am WAY behind on Blogging. Going to try to sum up this past year throughout the upcoming posts. My kids love the Aquarium, we have a membership there and I LOVE taking the kids there especially in the winter when you are so sick of being inside and it is too cold outside to do much. We can spend several hours there or we can pop in for a few minutes that's what I love about the membership.
