Easter 'fits

We had a really nice Easter.

The lesson in Young Womens was Amazing!!! (Thank you, Bree)

The thing about Easter is that everyone always looks so nice.
Everyone dressed in their "Sunday Best" It was the first time in a while that everyone in my house got dressed on a Sunday morning without whining.

If just in case any of you are wondering, this was the first and last time that Eddie will be wearing a bow-tie. It was a nod to the member of the bishopric that he replaced (Dave D always wears a bow-tie)

And the weather this Easter was B..E...A.. Utiful!

I looked out the window and what did I see?
E.J. posing 'neath the apricot tree!
(awww, isn't he so cute??)
=]

It really was a wonderful day to celebrate the resurrection of our Savior, and to enjoy the fabulous new beginnings of Spring.

Happy Easter and Happy Spring Everybody!

Sariah's Season

My daughter Sariah loves sports

ALL sports.

She is a really good soccer goalie.
(and a good forward,
but she prefers goalie)

She plays b-ball.

But most of all
She
Loves...

Wrestling.Yup, Wrestling.

Wrestling, you say? Are there a lot of girl wrestlers? No, well not in Utah, anyway. She was the only girl in her age group this season, which she has been most of the years that she has wrestled, so... she she wrestles the boys.

About half way through the year a friend of mine overheard
some parents from another school warning some other parents about
"that girl from Hillcrest...she's tough"


She did have one loss this year. It was Carson, who's dad used to coach with Eddie at Hillcrest. They were born 2 weeks apart during the '99 wrestling Season... so you could say that they have both grown up around wrestling. Plus, he is big, and really strong. But she gave him a run for his money, for sure. Until he threw her and almost broke her arm. But we were proud of her... she finished the match even though she was hurt.

I have to admit, it is fun to watch her be so successful at the sport,
but it is also nice at the end of the season when I get my little girl back.

Anyway, here is a video of one of her matches when she got a good pin.

Good job this season, Sariah,
(thanks to her amazing coach, her Dad,
could you hear him yelling in the background?)
I LOVE YOU!!!

Cousins' Day!

So last Saturday night I decided that it would be fun to have my little nieces and nephews over for some "Cousins Time".

We missed Isaac (who was at his first General Priesthood Meeting)

And E.J. and Troy (who were with Isaac)

And we most definitely missed Abby, my youngest neice
(who will not be the youngest for long ... go Kendy and Stephi!)

All of the kids made personal pizzas(I love my neice Faith's mischievous face)

And then we made some bags to use for the Easter Egg Hunt the next day between Conference Sessions. (The Easter Bunny was nice enough to come a week early because he knew we would all be together)

Hope decorating her bag with all of
the
fun
Easter
Stickers

and Hope
(and her gorgeous mom, Kendy)
with her
BEAUTIFUL
finished product:

Jared with his project
I didn't
know you
could fit
that many
stickers
on a bag..

You should have seen the other side!



Ben with his bag
Dude I'm sorry about the purple bag!
Thanks for being a good sport!
(Again, notice the amazing amount of stickers... do you think he was trying to cover up that it was purple?)





And last but not least,


Sariah!


Such a
good
job!





And....

Faith






Can I just say that I love being Mom and an Aunt?
Seriously, I think I had more fun than the kids did!

Thanks for coming over you guys! I LOVE YOU!!!

Another one bites the dust...

So I was wondering, what really are the chances of both of my boys in hospital gowns in 1 week?

Anyway, I took some gorgeous pics of E.J. in his. I wasn't as prepared with my good camera, so these ones are from my camera phone:

Do ya like the pajama pants sticking out underneath?

And here is his "I AM NOT letting them draw my blood" mad face:

He was almost right, his superman veins kept rolling and they had a really hard time drawing blood. They still never figured out what was wrong, just put him on way strong antibiotics and sent us home. Dang Doctors! Anyway, both E.J. and Troy missed most of last week, but are back at school today, although neither one of them seemed to be nearly as excited about it as I was!

So I've been wondering, are blogs just another way for moms to embarrass their children?

And Troy wears a gown...

OK, don't freak out...
it's a hospital gown!
But I knew that would make ya'll look!

So the question of the day is
How does this..

(Notice the cute happy smile?)

Go to this...AWWWW! How sad!!!

In less than an hour?

It's called a tonsilectomy, my friends, and after 24 hours of observation, having not experienced this myself, I would not suggest it to anyone unless it was ABSOLUTELY Necessary.

P.S. He is going to kill me for posting these pics...

Girls Night OUT!!!

OK, so it's been a bit since this happened, but I had to blog about the Girls Night that I had with my friends Shellie and Kimberlee a few weekends ago. Props (and a huge thank-you) to my girl Shellie for booking her flight, our hotel, everything.

It was soooooo nice to spend 24 hours NOT being the mom, NOT being on-call for work, and JUST hanging out.

Quick run down of our girl time:

Talking and laughing

really loud while eating

at several different restaurants

Talking and laughing while trying

to park my suburban

Talking and laughing while laying around

the hotel

Talking and laughing while getting pedicures

Talking and laughing at ourselves because we were talking about our kids when we were trying NOT to be the moms.

Talking and laughing while tearing up when it was time to go

Planning the next escapade!

I love you guys! Thanks for being the kind of friends that you don't get to see or talk to every day, but you know they are always there! I had so much fun talking, laughing, relaxing, rolling up our pants, giggling until we should have been kicked out of the hotel, talking about "snake dreams" and so many other random subjects, and and getting "cute toes" with you! (Thanks for the new addiction, Shell!)
