Cousin Fun!

My niece, Naomi, is visiting for a week and we are loving the cousin time!
Here are a few things we have been up to:

Swimming at Woodland Pool. What could be funner than a Pirate ship?

Water balloon fight!

The girls figured out how to fill up the balloons by themselves, but I don't know what or who got most of the water...the balloons or the girls:)

Abbie, Amanda, and I enjoyed a free "Tangled" concert from the kids! Ashton even played the drums:)

This is what we have been up to lately


Grace's first limo ride. It was for a birthday party!

Attended Women's Conference at BYU in Utah with my wonderful sister-in-law, Kristi. It was a great get away from kids. Chiye we missed you! See you next year for sure!!!

Saw my grandparents during my Women Conference stay. Sure loved visiting with them. I never know when it will be my last as they are in their mid-eigthies and have health problems.

Flew out to California and went through the temple with my sister-in-law, as it was her first time. What an amazing spiritual experience!

Celebrated Easter with a few baskets, eggs, and a very early morning.

Amanda started walking. Hurrah!

Ashton lost his first tooth.

Ashton's first soccer team.

Graduation from preschool. Now he is on to Kindergarten. Wow, I never thought this day would come to be a mother of two school aged children.

Memorial day weekend with cousins! Loved it!!!!


Put together a baby shower for a dear friend.

Second time making a diaper cake...soooo fun!
Now I don't have a picture of this major event, but it was going on during this busy month of March and April. I completed my second graduate class and received an "A". This was accomplished with much sweat and even tears!
We are excited to see what June will hold! Thank goodness for summer vacation!

Two Birthday Girls

Amanda and Abbie both celebrated a birthday! They are just one week shy of being two years apart and so we celebrated the big "1" for Amanda and the big "3" for Abbie. It is amazing how quickly they grow-up. Here a few pics of their parties and as you can see Abbie's was a Princess party. Each princess made a crown and was given gloves, sunglasses, and a gumball necklace. I made the gum necklaces and cake:)It was so fun to try something new. Thanks Melanie for the idea of gumball necklaces. Abbie had a great time and I loved planning it!
