I come on a short vacation to be with my family and it is FREAKIN snowing! What the heck! (I'm totally in Utah) Well just wanted to update all my friends and say that I miss you all, but I am having a BLAST with my sister Kristen. We were with my whole family yesterday, it was great to all be together. I love my family so ....much and am so grateful for each of them. I have taken alot of pictures, but will have to wait until I get home to download them to my computer. Oh! and my battery is dead on my camera so I can't take anymore(sucks). Did you all watch Bachelor? I watched it with my mom and sisters. Oh my gosh, I am so..........excited. I set my sister Kristen up a BLOG! check it out. She is happy to be apart of the blog life. I will see you all soon! Does anyone want anything from SLC?

Happy Easter

I received these beautiful flowers from my sweet sister-in-law Cheryl. I absolutely LOVE tulips. It is nice to have a little bit of Spring in the house since there is NO sign of it outside. Happy Easter everyone, we love you! Thank you Grandma & Papa for the fun gifts and treats. .............As the girls get older (Taylor & Ellie) it is not as fun to buy Easter dresses. They are getting PICKY!!!!!!! They still looked very cute! I love my girls!
I had so much fun with the girls Easter baskets this year. I wanted to use something practical, something that they can use. (I don't have baskets) I try to be creative every year. This year I found these cute tins at IKEA and then added the ribbon on them to match the girls room's. They turned out so...cute and the girls LOVED them! We set these out the night before so the "Easter Bunny" could fill them and then hide them.
Wow!the "Easter Bunny" was so...nice this year! The girls had fun looking for them, and then of course eating ALL the candy for breakfast!
We hope everyone had a great Easter and enjoyed this special day. It was wonderful to take time and reflect on all of our blessings and how blessed we are to know the TRUE meaning of Easter!

Getting ready for Easter!

All the neighbor kids getting ready for the Easter Egg Hunt! Where is the Spring weather? Everyone is all bundled up like it is Winter or something!

Gracie found her first yellow Egg!

Gracie was so.......cold that she came and told me that she was ready to go home! I think that she just wanted to go eat her candy!She is so dang cute!

Gotta Love Happy Mail

I received this cute , fun package on my front porch the day before my sweet friend Chelsea moved to Utah. As happy as I was to get a package, I found myself crying as I looked at the return address. A Utah address! The last few days have been very sad, I miss her already! I had to walk into her empty house to pick up some things after they left and It was so.....SAD! Anyway Chelsea, thank you so much for the fun Spring package, I will enjoy it very much!
