Spring Break

The kids and I spent Spring Break in Panguitch with my sisters.

Panguitch always has an Easter egg hunt.  I took Ian over to it, Ava was being naughty so she didn't get to go.

 Here I am with Logan, Olivia, Sarah, Emily, Kennedy, Danika, Jim and Grandma Net.

 My sisters and I, acting weird as we usually do when we get together.   I never get to spend enough time with my sisters, the times we do get together are precious memories of mine! I was so happy Tiff could come up for the day, it is rare to have all four of us together.

 This is when you spend all day outside playing with cousins, you tend to get a little dirty...

Madison with Brisa...It was so good to see Annesa's girls, we don't get to see them enough!

 Ava LOVES Nessy Pooh, who calls Ava, Princess Pink!

 Of course the kids had to go for a ride on the sled behind the four wheeler.

 Saturday we headed down to St. George for Tessa's baby blessing and Jeffry's birthday party.

 It was nice to be in warmer weather for a few days.

Loan Company Egg Hunt

March 22, 2013 The company that did the loan for our house hosted a customer appreciation Easter egg hunt in Draper.  That morning we woke up to 6" of snow.  After debating, we decided to go ahead and attend. Even with the snow, we had a great time.

We bundled up Brisa in her carseat, hopefully she stayed warm.

They gave out hot chocolate to keep us warm...

Ian and his eggs, I must admit the eggs were much harder to find in the snow.

Ava met the Easter Bunny, Ian was not interested at all.

Mountain West Tournament / Vegas Easter

March 16, 2013 On a whim we drove down to Vegas so Dustin could watch his Rebels in the Mountain West Tournament.  While we were there Grandma Sandy and Papa hosted an Easter egg hunt.

Brisa at 4 1/2 months

Brisa has found her thumb and will no longer take a binky. She is such a happy baby. She smiles all the time. Although, we have to work very hard to get any giggles out of her. She is so wonderful to have in our home. 

Thanks to Paul and Cari

While we were waiting for our house to be finished Dustin stayed with Paul and Cari.  After leaving my parents house around the 1st of February the kids and I headed up to Paul's house. We stayed there until we moved in to our house on the 8th of February. Paul and Cari also helped us load up our Uhaul and move all of our stuff out of the storage unit.  I am so blessed to have such and amazing family! Thanks guys!

Saying goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa

After 3 Months we said goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa.  They were so kind to allow us to stay with them while our house was being built.  We had so much fun there.  We played games at every meal, drank too much hot chocolate, and spent most of our time by the nice warm fire. My parents were so helpful with the new baby.  They would drive, and pick up Ian and Ava from preschool, change diapers, and hold baby Brisa.  I have such amazing parents, they help out all of us kids SO much. My Mom is babysitting ALL THE TIME!!! I don't think there is a week that goes by when she isn't watching a grandkid somewhere, or taking care of her parents.  Thanks Mom and Dad for all you do!! Love ya!
