Our Easter Weekend

We started off the weekend with an Easter egg hunt and breakfast with our neighborhood kids. We had it at the park down the street from us. We have the best street ever and could not ask for better kids! We never want to move from here.

Later that night we went to a Tyler reunion at Noah's parent's church. We celebrated the lives of His Grandma Colleen and Grandpa's Frank and Merril. Yes he has two, and they are always together. As a matter of fact, I don't think I have ever not seen them all together in the 6 years I have been in the family. They all are amazing people and love there family so much. We love them so much and were so excited to be a part of that night and pay tribute to them.

Easter Morning the kids got there Easter baskets from the Easter Bunny. It was a tradition for my Mom to always give us Swimsuits for Easter growing up. So I love carrying on the tradition of getting my own kids new swimsuits for the season. Then we got all dressed up for church and had to take a few pics.
Church on Easter is my favorite. I love all the wonderful songs and talks on the resurrection of our Savior. My ward did not let me down yesterday. I heard two of the best talks on Repentance and the songs were amazing! I'm so thankful for the knowledge of Christ and His gospel and all that He has done for us. Later that night we had dinner at my parents house. My mom is the best cook ever and I always look forward to her Easter dinner. She makes the best rolls in the whole world! We had a little Easter egg hunt and the kids got the funnest Easter baskets from my parents. We had a great weekend and hope everyone did also!!

He's here!!

No not my baby(I wish)! My SIL Kate(my brother Jay's wife) had her baby yesterday and he is the cutest thing ever! Big sister Claire(15 months) is already in love with him. We'll see if that changes in the next few days. They have not decided on a name yet, but it might be Grant or Max. Both so cute! I'm so excited for them to come home so I can hold him some more! They live right next door..lucky me!



Don't mind this nasty picture of me!

New found glory

I have stumbled upon a few items that I have fallen in love with, and thought I should share my new finds.

Every night before bed, Noah has a treat and it is always Chocolate Molten Crunch or Chips Ahoy and milk. I don't like either and have been trying to find a treat a little less fattening and just found these gems!! I'm totally a fruity treat girl, so when I saw these I new I found my Treat!! They come in Strawberry, Raspberry, Lemon, Mango, and Peach. I have not found the Mango one yet, so if you have let me know! Oh ya, and they are Fat Free!!


My friend Shelly introduced me to Dwell and now I love it too. I just realized that Target has a line of Dwell products at their stores! I just got this Boppy for the baby and am in love with this pattern and colors. I really love the bedding and blankets they have also.



Have you tried the Mattress topper from Costco yet? If you don't have one...go get one!! Trust me it's well worth it! We got one about a month ago and absolutely love it.



The other day I had to get ready at the gym and totally forgot shampoo and conditioner so I went to buy some at the salon there. They carry Bumble and Bumble and have always wanted to try it so I spent way too much for shampoo and cond., but let me tell you...I'm in love! This one has the most amazing smell and makes my hair feel so good!

Coincidently his name is Justin. Funny huh? He is so cute and the best baby! They are getting married next month in California. I'm so happy for them!

Lehi Days!

Every March the little town of Lehi puts on a rodeo called Lehi Days. I grew up going and participating in this and still look forward to it every year. I haven't been in a few years so this was the first time I was able to take my kids. They loved it. I think they are cowgirl/cowboy at heart just like their Mom! I took this rodeo pretty serious when I was younger. I did the goat tying, barrel racing, and boot race(Which my team took home a nice belt buckle one year!). I can't wait for next year to put the kids in an event! Noah also participated in Lehi Days this year...as a cook! My dad was in charge of part of the cooking so he recruited Noah and my brothers to help him all day. They all worked so hard!
