Happy Mothers Day INDEED!!

Here I am again finally! I am still on Chad's laptop, but now that I'm a new employee of his (long story) I am finally going to get a new desktop so I will be able to post a lot more often. No more of this once a week nonesense. Anyways, it has been a really good week. Busy, but great! I honestly LOVE Spanish Fork in the summer. The town really comes alive. Everyone is out doing stuff all day and you can't help but get out and do stuff yourself. Today we sat out in the yard and played in the grass just because it was such an awesome day. Last weekend we went to Logan to spend mothers day with Chad's parents. It is always so fun to go visit them. We laughed a lot and ate alot and played alot. I love going to visit. My mothers day was great. My little family all made me a card. Gracie signed her name on the card for the first time ALL BY HERSELF. It is priceless. I think I'm going to frame it. Chad suprised me with a CRUISE!! We kicked around going for our five year anniversary (this year) and we talked about going early, but Chad confirmed it on mothers day! We leave on sunday for a four day carnival cruise. Thats right, this sunday!! I'm a little chubby and white as paper but I couldn't be more excited. Here are the latest..... enjoy....

There is just something about seeing a boy and his dog...

I'm just like my mom. This sight just brings tears to my eyes. So innocent, running around pretending you can fly..

I love this face he is pulling.

My boys

Money shot.

"so Grace"

While we were there we were able to go see Aunt Bekah play in the parade. She is awesome at the trumpet

Okay, this one kills. me.... I was downstairs doing dishes and Grace comes and taps me on the leg and says "do you like my swimsuit mamma?"

The Garden.

What a week!

What a busy week we had. Monday Chad had a business trip to Denver CO and I decided to go with him. It was honestly one of the funnest trips ever. Our flight was delayed 3 hours, our rental car was made out of plastic, we waited for our shuttle bus FOREVER in the freezing weather, our dinner didn't get delivered until midnight, and they didn't even get our order right. Things couldn't have been worse, but it was so funny. We honestly laughed the whole trip. I'm so lucky to have such a fun husband. He had to work most of the day on Tues so I just slept in and shopped. It was tonz of fun. Thanks for coming to take care of my children mamma! Then on wednesday and thursday we had lots of family here, which is always so much fun. Casey and her kids were taking a little trip so they got to stay and visit before they flew out. It is always fun to have a housefull but it seems so empty after everyone leaves. Then on Saturday it was Clayton's graduation. I was able to ride down for the day to see him graduate. It was so cool to be there and see him finish that chapter of his life. I'm so proud of you Clayt! So here we are on Monday night and I just took a few pics tonight. I'm not sure if I'm ready to start a new week but here we go!!!!

Don't worry, Roxy is just part of the line.

Mikey is SO close to walking. I can't believe how big he's getting!




Chad talking to Austin about something pretty intense I'm sure.

mmmm.. nothing like some Panda Express before the flight

This was our room. For some reason they upgraded us to the suite. It was AMAZING.

They gave us robes and everything

Right before take off!

Where the good things are....

I Found it!! I found my cord for my camera so I can finally upload some pictures. Here they are. The last two weeks of the goings on in our lives. For Easter weekend we went to Kanab for my sister Casey's wedding. It turned out SO pretty and she looked AMAZING. I cant believe I didn't get one picture of the bride but as the maid of honor my responsibilities were eslewhere. We had a pretty low key easter after that. Our family has a tradition of going on an easter hunt sunday morning and it takes us all over town. Clayton was in charge this year and he did a really good job. It was a ton of fun. We were going to let the kids go on a fun little hunt of their own, but the weather was terrible. We went to watch the boys in the alumni tourney and we sat in the car the whole time. When we got back, Chad's sister came to go to the nursery in Benjamin. We had a little picnic with them then planted the starts that we had bought. Then Chad had the HUGE task of pruning our apple tree in the back. Our home was built in the late 1800's and I think this tree has been here just about that long. I couldn't believe when we found out it was an apple tree. Most of it was dead so we had to top it off to save it. Hopefully it will be healthy in a few years. Anyways, here are the photos!!

The pics are out of order, but this is the "after" picture of the tree.

My lil craft.

What the grass looked like after the cut.

So when I ask Mike what the donkey says, this is what I get.....

My lumber jack.

The "before" Pic

I also got the chance to go to good things Utah with my ward. It was so fun. And mostly funny. The girls were all so nice and it is a lot more Low-key than what you think. By the way, I honestly think the camera does add ten pounds. These girls are tiny on TV but in real life, they are TINY... Look at our legs....

Sara came with me. I was lucky to have a good friend there with me to giggle...
