April 2014


Audrey for Hobby Lobby, found in the ribbon section.  It has been fun getting texts from all over the country saying they have seen her.  This is probably my favorite picture of her, ever. #mylittlecovergirl

More for Hobby Lobby.

Rachel, Ryan and their twin boys came to visit us.  It was so fun to have them, and spend some quality time together.  My kids looooooved having two little friends to play with! 






After General Conference my kids were super motivated to read their scriptures (we might have told them if the finish The Book of Mormon we would take them to Disneyland...a trip to Disney had already been planned, they just didn't know it). Regardless, it was cute to see Joshua "read" his scriptures. 


Notes from Joshua. 



We hosted a baby shower for Taysia and these were the cute favors.  The theme was "You're the apple of my eye".







Carma. Me. Taysia. Chrissy. Kelly. 


How my kids sleep when I'm having a party.  Ear phones.  Such good sports.  Although look at his arm...not sure how he slept at all, that looks so uncomfortable. 

Joshua on Hobby Lobby's Facebook.  He sat in that recliner and immediately kicked back and got comfortable.  It must be something all boys are born with: how to get comfy in a Lazy Boy. 


My Grandpa was turning 90, and so my entire extended family did 90 plus acts of service and complied it into a book for his birthday. 
Here are my kids acts of service. 
















We had some beautiful weather and the kids were "exercising" in the backyard.  Joshua ran 20 laps, and Audrey and Austin ran about 10, and would high five me every time he passed me (sitting on a chair reading a book- The Book Thief). 

Stretching. 



All of the kindergarten from Joshua's school went and sang at a nursing home right before Easter and then did an egg hunt. 


Easter egg hunt on Good Friday.  No school. 



Joshua and Austin's well child check. 


Audrey and I went on a date to see the ballet, Beauty and the Beast.  As soon as the lights went down, I remembered how much I don't like going to the ballet.  Audrey loved it though. Guess we will be going to more. 


Moms and daughters at the ballet. 


So grateful for this day, my Savior, and my family-both near and far.  Happy Easter. 


My friend Heather had her baby girl on Easter! Audrey and I went to go visit her in the hospital with Alyssa and Hayden. 
All the girls. 



My amazing sister is running the Boston Marathon today! I wish so badly I could be there to cheer her on (and carbo load with her before, and celebratory eat after with her). I am so proud of you Sara! 
Run your heart out. 


I have a new niece! Welcome to our crazy family, Kensie! We love you more than you know.  My sister is a rock star. She was in the hospital for 45 hours before she was born. Ryan- can't wait to see you as a Dad. I already know you will be amazing.  The best part about this situation? They will be moving close to us in six weeks! Eeeeeekkkkkk!!!


I did a show at this gorgeous venue.


It's always fun working, but when it's with close friends, it makes it even more fun. 


Audrey played volleyball this spring. 


Milo and Joshua.  These two are such cute little friends.  After a soccer game.  Between Audrey's volleyball games, and soccer games for Joshua and Austin, Saturday's were busy. 


My kids loving on Kensie via FaceTime. 


Reliving my glory days at Audrey's dance.  (a video of me doing an ariel and Audrey's cute little voice saying, "Be careful Mom!") #myhipflexerhurts

Contemplating the meaning of patience while waiting for Audrey to finish dance.
