Easter Fun

We started last weekend off with a Saddle Ridge Easter Egg hunt. Followed up by another Egg extravaganza at Leslie's house. We had a great time with all our usual friends that we love so much. Beck is really into this whole Easter egg hunt thing. He loves to have me hide eggs over and over around our house so that he can find them. By about the 5th time I had to stop putting treats in the eggs.

Beck and Brigham

These two like to do most things together. They can be entertained with one another for hours. One of their favorite things to do together is jump on the tramp and eat Popsicles. It is fun to watch Beck grow older and form these friendships with his friends. I am glad that Brigham mom is pretty cool herself.

Who Dat

Jon spent last week in New Orleans with the Shipley boys for March Madness. In between the games they spent time touring around. He was nice enough to bring these souvenirs home to the kids. They went on a swamp tour to sea alligators and when I told Beck about it this was his response. " Dad should of invited me to go with him" One year very soon Beck will be joining the NCAA crew.

3 kiddos

Candice brought this little beanie hat back from Peru.



These boys are so silly. I adore them.

Beautiful Ruby

These are a few sample pictures that Skye did last night for me. Oh many more to come! It was so much fun to have these pictures taken. Thanks Jess for joining the fun. It would of not been the same without you. Especially the special pictures I will now have of you Skye and Ruby. Just wait until I post the happy couple and their new baby LOL!

The Babe and the Brother

Jon surprised me with a fancy new camera after I dropped my new one at the hospital. I may be a little addicted to taking pictures while I try to figure out all the bells and whistles.

That's my girl

Slept all night last night. I am not going to plan on this happening again but it helped with the adjustment to having all 3 kiddos this morning for the first time. Sleep is great and can make the world of difference. We are having so much fun with this little baby and the boys are nuts about her. I cannot believe we have a girl!

Grand Tea Time

Annual Grand America Tea. It is always fun to be with old friends.

Auntie Candice's Quilt

Candice made the baby this quilt that is to die for. I am so in love with it and appreciate all her hard work that she put into it. It is the most darling quilt I have ever seen.

Baby Shower

I have the best friends here in Lehi. They have made the thought of having another baby so much better! They planned a fun dinner out to celebrate and they totally spoiled me. I love them to death!

The only picture of the night with Skye and I.



Old summer picture that shows all my best pals! Life would be dull without all of you.

Beck Boy Turns 5

Wow the big 5. We celecrated just the way a 5 yr old boy could dream of. With a big family party with lots of chocolate cupcakes. Then a big friends party at Monkey Island. Life is great at 5 for Beck.

Costa Rica

Costa Rica was amazing! The boys loved every minute of the trip and I wish I video taped Beck as our first plane took off. Everyone knew by the end of that plane ride who Beck was because he was so excited. We had the perfect house right on the beach. We enjoyed local cuisine, Monkey's, Iguanas, Parrots, freed baby turtles into the sea, zip lined thousands of feet above the rain forest next to a active volcano, surfed and swam in the huge waves,and ate fruit non stop. Beck spent a lot of time between the beach and the pool. Ira had no fear of the ocean and pounding waves. He loved catching the hermit crabs that crawled on the beach. He and Kelsey also had a lot of fun with a frog that visited our pool one night. Ira hopped all over like a frog and loved tossing him into the pool. My family was a riot and the Bardsley family joining ours made it extra fun.
