Happiness


 Not sure who is happier here. Grahams got his root beer from the fish house, and I've got the farm and my favorite little boy in the world. :)


 Papa likes to load up his trucks and tailers with surprises. I always hide two, and he always gives him more later. Its going to be a loosing battle I think, for me.
No words needed for this shot!

Easter

 We got some eggs dyed, yay! Graham wasn't that into it, and it was quick, BUT we did them. We also learned which dye kit NOT to buy next year.
 This picture was for Jared. He was showing his Dada what was inside the egg.
 A tractor, a tractor, a tractor!!!
 Beatiful little Charlie. She is a mellow child, and oh so sweet. I love her pooh bear legs always up in the air.
 River caught ruffus the rooster at the Paradise Egg Hunt. Graham was so interested, but didn't want to get too close to him. This crazy hen(he turned out to be a she) let the kids push her around in this bucket all night.





 I love how out of place I look in the sister picture. Katie and Stacie look like they are posing for jcrew.

 Grandma Marges was full on fun and people. We are up to a family of 48 now!
Graham found his basket at Gma Vickies and Papas on the slide. He went straight for the tractor, duh.

When KC and the girls were in town. We had a little Easter celebration over and Brett and Connies. We did a short, sweet little lesson about Jesus and used "resurection rolls". It was such a special moment for me, as I was teaching them about Jesus. While the rolls were cooking we all sang soft primary songs, and it was amazing the sweet spirit that was there. There is something so special about the spirit and wonderment of children. I will never forget Olivia's face when she saw the roll empty, symbolizing the empty tomb. I am so grateful for the little learning moments children give us. It is something I look forward to doing every year from here on out. What an opportunity for all us to remember what Easter is all about.

Cali Moultries Visit!!

 KC, Jes, and the girls came to visit the first week of April. We are STILL missing them! Its so fun when we are all together, and we always have a great time. It was a busy week with Jared's boss in town, and Jes had a Doterra convention in Park City. The week went by too fast. We played soccer, basketball, and ate some great food!
 Bella and Charlie are three and a half months apart, and fast friends. They were so fun to watch, watching each other. Bells kept trying to get to Charlie and gave her the sweetest kisses!
The grandkids prefer to be where every grandkid should, with Grandma. Graham has a hard time sharing Liv and Gab with Gma Connie sometimes, but they all got along so well. Graham and Gabi are hilarious together!

Twiners!
We got all bundled up and had smores outside. The girls love them, and I think Papi loves starting a fire:)

This girl LOVED Uncle Kace. She kept laughing and smiling at him all week. Graham also loves him, and knows he gets him basketball shoes. For a week after they left whenever Jared put on a dry fit shirt, he would say, like Kace Dada?
This is my favorite picture of the cousins! It shows all of their personalities and how much fun they had together!

Cant wait for them to come back and visit soon! I also wouldn't mind a visit out to Cali.
Dental Hygiene, yay!!

Happy 29th Sweet!

Jareds birthday was March 27th, but he was in Dallas so we celebrated a few days later when he got home. He is not big for celebrations, especially for himself, BUT I AM! We celebrated all weekend:) This was his birthday dinner we had Sunday night with Papi and Gma Connie. We had terriyaki at the birthday boy's request and I made a new Sprite zero white delicious strawberry, cream cheese cake. Long enough description for ya:) It was a hit, and gone by morning I think.  I'm one month older than Jared so I'm especially excited when his birthday gets here, so we are the same age, instead of me being the older woman.





 Graham loves birthdays, and parties. Well I should say small parties. He gets a little overwhelmed with big crowds and noise. But he is getting better. This was perfect for him:)
Happy Birthday Dad, we LOVE YOU!!

While Dad is away, we will PLAY!

Jared had to go to Dalls for 12 days in March. It was the longest we've ever been apart since being married, and we sure missed him! We headed up to Papa's house to keep up busy for one of the weeks, and had a great time!

We went on several wheeler rides, tractor rides, and checked the cows and their new baby calfies a lot! Graham was in hog heaven. He sure loves being outside, and especially the tractor. We even barrowed Grants ranger and I got to go too:) It if defintely one of my favorite places on earth. I love being over on the west. Its so fun watching Graham love it as well.




 I love this picture because he is telling Charlie a story about the skid steer next to them I'm sure. He looks so concerned and takes good care of his little sister.
 We had a hot dog roast and the kids loved it! Graham loves playing with his cousins, and Autumn is especially great to him. Thanks Autumn! Nice hat Charlie:)

 We checked out some baby chicks and bunnies at the local IFA
 We have so many pics, because I sent several to Jared each day to make him more home sick:) Not really, but he loved getting them and I loved taking them. I got a new iphone due to a shattered screen on my old phone. Its awesome, and Graham and I both, love taking pictures.
 Graham ran out of the tub, grabbed Papa's hat and glasses and struck a pose for me right in the window seat, nice buddy, nice!
 Kate and I worked out every day, this particular twiners outfit get up highly motivated, ha! So funny. These shirts are from the polo outlet in St George, when I went to school! A little old, but great!
 We went to Cafe Sabor for Katies birthday, Graham was a very good boy, and we all had a great time!
 Jogging route:)
 Golds gym in Logan and I don't have a great relationship. Everytime we tried to go there something didnt work out right. The class would be cancelled or they wouldn't honor our membership trial, bla, bla, bla. Finally, we went to a great, hard class and came out to this! Yup thanks for the hit and run whoever you are(I'm sure you read my blog). It was just a rental car until we got our new car so it was all taken care of but still I was quite upset.
