This past weekend was crazy-busy, but so much fun! Saturday morning I took the girls to an Easter egg hunt w/Zeke and Macy at Deseret Peak. Ivy was just amazed by all the candy that was laying on the grass. She picked up one piece, looked at it and kept repeating "Wow!" It was so cute. While she and Macy didn't really get what was going on, Zeke and Kaitlee went nuts picking up those eggs. Sonrisa and Keefer just enjoyed being outside. Jared dug the hole for our new house that morning while we were gone (YEAH!). That night we went into SL to have an Easter dinner w/Jared's family. She had cute little baskets for the girls and the dinner was delicious! Then we went to my grandma's to see my cousins who were visiting from Montana. I love them sooooo much! We always have fun when we get together. Sunday evening we went to my mom and dad's for another yummy dinner and the girls got another basket full of fun stuff (they were in heaven!). After my mom and dad did an Easter egg hunt for all the grandkids. They had a blast! Later that night, we had a shower for my cousin molly. She and Nellie are the cutest pregnant girls ever! My kids had so much fun but they sure were tuckered out after such a busy weekend. Thanks to both Grandmas an Grandpas for making this Easter so much fun. We love you guys!

The Big Dig!

So we finally started on our new house. We broke ground on Sat. March 22, 2008. Luckily I had some help from Beav and Yimmy. It was a fun morning. I will be sure to keep you up to date on how it is going. Here are some of the photos...

TAG --- I"M IT!!!

I know I've only been blogging for a couple months but I hadn't been tagged until now. In the past week I've been tagged by three of my friends so I figured I had better get on top of it.



TEN YEARS AGO... I was 16 and a jr. in high school. Jared has since told me that he and his friends didn't even know my name so they used to call me "the hot swimmer chick" and I pretty much hung out with no one but my boyfriend and my parents. I hated high school! Most people loved every minute of it and wish they could go back and do it again... not me! I'm just glad it's over with!


My friend Nicole and me (Jr. year 1998)

FIVE PLACES I HAVE VISITED... (1) Montana (every year since I was a baby), (2) Hawaii (with my BFF Malia), (3) Mexico (the best honeymoon ever!), (4) Las Vegas (1st anniversary and sooo much fun), but my favorite trip was to (5) Disneyland with my kids (we also went to watch our buddy John Buck play against the Anaheim Angels. He got us front row seats right above the dugout. It was awesome!).


This is me and my girl Malia in May '01 ready to take off to the beautiful Hawaii!

FIVE THINGS ON MY TO DO LIST... (1) get in shape (this is always on my list, but never seems to get done), (2) watch American Idol (this one ALWAYS gets done), (3) make dinner (getting better at this), (4) pick up toys (I do this about 10 times a day), and (5) go to Walmart to buy milk and juice (and a bunch of other stuff we don't need).

I ENJOY... Playing with my girls, going out to eat (I hate cooking!), hanging out with friends, going for walks, golfing, snowboarding, and what else but SHOPPING!

THREE BAD HABITS... (1) Telling my hubby to "chill out" in front of our kids (he hates that), (2) spending too much money, and (3) changing my hair. I think my record for keeping it the same is like 3 weeks or something. I just traded in my long, blond hair for brown and SUPER short. I'm going to try to grow out my natural color. We'll see how long that lasts!

FIVE THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT ME... (1) I LOVE High School Musical! You know how a lot of times you just watch stuff like that for your kids, well not me. Jared and I watch it just for fun! (2) I am veerrrry shy. I think most of the time people think I'm "stuck-up", but really I am just scared to death to talk to people I don't know very well. (3) I put on an old pair of sweats and pull my hair back any chance I get. I know that sounds weird coming from a girl that loves fashion so much, but it's true. You know we're tight when all you ever see me in is sweats and a T-shirt. (4) When I was little... I clogged. Funny, huh!?! I was actually pretty good, believe it or not. You'd never know it now, but I could actually dance back then. (5) My first car was a 1966 Volkswagon Bug. I LOVED that car! It was sooo much fun to drive, although it wasn't real reliable.

This just cracks me up!

FIVE JOBS THAT I HAVE HAD... This is probably going to sound really weird coming from a 26 year old but I have only had three jobs my entire life. I was a lifeguard all during high school (at T-ville high and Cottonwood Country Club), then I worked at The Buckle in Fashion Place Mall until I got married and then I worked at good ol' Canyon Craft Cabinets as a receptionist for a couple of years before I had Kaitlee. I guess you could say that my fourth job is being a mommy. Definitely the hardest job I will ever have!


I now tag (1) SARAH (2) MELISSA (3) JESSICA (4) SIS-IN-LAW KIM (5) JEN

If I tagged you here's what you do. Post the words above in all caps and fill in info about yourself. Then, at the end tell who you are tagging & go and tag 5 friends on their blogs. It's just a way to get to know fun little things about people.

My Guitar Heros



This is my mom and dad rockin' out on guitar hero and for those of you who know my parents, this was, well... HILARIOUS!!!

Mmmmm.... Oreos


Well, Reesie got to eat her first Oreo the other day which she of course... LOVED! She couldn't get that cookie in her mouth fast enough. But next time I am definitely going to remember to take her clothes off before giving her one. You can imagine the mess! (You'd think I'd know better since she isn't my first!)

Daddy's Girls




So, let me just start off by saying that Jared is a trooper! Before he and I got married his whole life was baseball, basketball and golf... now it's pretty much narrowed down to dress-ups, tea parties and shopping (it's true, I am a shopaholic). Not only is he always surrounded by me and our three girls, but our friends that we hang out with pretty much all the time (probably way more than we should) have three girls too. That's a lot of girls! I'm sure it's hard for him at times but he does a great job putting up with us. The other night he sat so quietly on the couch while Kaitlee wrapped his head in a bright blue boa. I'm not sure if he was so into what was on TV that he didn't realize what she was doing or what, but nevertheless he let her do it, and she loved every minute of it! These girls sooo have him wrapped around their little finger! He does have a very short temper and can be a grouch sometimes, but for the most part he would do anything for them and that is good enough for me!

Cute Little Cousins


These little babies (Jessica, Sonrisa, Keefer, and Britton) were all born within a few months of each other. It has been so fun to watch them grow and learn together. My brother Timmy and his wife Nellie are expecting a baby boy at the end of April which means that me and all of my siblings will have had a baby within a year of each other. Pretty neat, huh!?!!
