BYU Baby!

It's never to early to brain wash my kids!

Blessing Day

We were very excited to have so much family here for Brant's blessing on March 29th. Jared's parents and sister, Sara, got here Friday night. We spent Saturday morning at the mall and then we met up with my parents and Becky and Glenden (my sister and her husband) to take a quick tour of downtown Denver. We met up with Jared's brother Jordan and his girlfriend Kamera who drove in from Texas. Mia and Mason wanted to go rollerskating, so we squeezed that in too. It was fun to meet Kamera and see my sister 6 months pregnant (barely showing! that stinker). It was nice having Glenden and both grandpas to join Jared in the blessing circle. It was a wonderful day. Jared's family left Monday morning and my parents stayed till Wednesday. We loved every minute of it. The kids had fun swimming at the hotel pool, playing on the elevators, watching cartoons, bowling, and spending each night at the hotel with grandparents. We are already looking forward to a long summer break in Idaho....only two more months!!!

another buzz

I was bored yesterday since the kids are sick and we have been a little home bound, so I decided to buzz Mason's hair. The picture of it long reminds me of Edward from the Twilight movie.

Snow Days

I know it's spring, but I just downloaded all the pics off of Jared's camera (aka the good camera), and he had taken a bunch of pictures from Christmas when he took the kids sledding on their new sled. Plus we got tons of snow during spring break, so the first thing the kids did when Jared's parents and sister walked in the door was ask if they could go sledding. So, here is one last ode to winter and now we can hopefully hang on to the wonderful spring weather!!!!

haircut

Here's the new cut. My six year old photographer took some fabulous glamour shots of me tonight....Do you like that I got all dressed up for the photo shoot.(I LOVE Jared's pjs.) I haven't had bangs in awhile and they are hard to get use to, but my hair is so much easier to do when it's short, so all in all I like it. I'll just have to get use to the bangs. I gave Mason a buzz today too, but I'll post pictures another day when he's feeling better....we've got sick kids here this week.

Smiles

Yes they all may look alike to you, but I love each and every smile this kid gives me! I love that Brant has times when he is actually happy now! It makes it so much more fun to be a mom when you get feedback like this.

primary temple trip

Mia woke up on Saturday and said "I thought this day would never come!" She has been so excited about her primary temple trip. They got to tour the grounds and they both loved it. The tour guide did a great job with the kids and told them a lot of things that we didn't know. Mason loved it too, but was mostly excited to have another opportunity to hang out with his friends.


Just in case you all are wondering....yes I am getting a haircut soon....Tuesday to be exact. I've had a really bad hair month, so it's time for it to go! So, don't laugh at all the pics of me and my out of control hair....it will be remedied soon!

preschool zoo trip

We haven't made a zoo trip in way too long because I was way too fat while pregnant and then I just haven't been very brave when it comes to taking Brant out on long trips yet, but he did great! We took the kids for preschool last week and it was a really fun day. Mason loves all the girls in his preschool and I have to say the feeling is mutual. They get a long great.
