Catch up randomness.

Danica's BFF invited us to watch How to Train your Dragon in 3D. Here is everyone sporting their fabulous eyeware. the movie was even more fabulous than the eyeware. It's definately recommended by me.

Here are the kids decorating easter eggs. They always love this part of easter. Can you guess what Dallin's favorite thing was??

Slowly getting caught up from everything. Have a great day!

More summer Challenge

So, I haven't had time to blog until now, but here's an update about what we did this weekend.
Friday our plans took a twist. Danica's friend invited her for a sleepover. so instead of having a fun girl night where we did every one's hair, nails, etc. It ended up just being Dave, Whitney and I watching a movie. I did do a pedicure on Whitney and tried out a new hairstyle which she totally loved and has asked me to do everyday since. Danica ended up coming home early from her sleepover and so we chatted and stayed up late.

Saturday we hiked for March 4 Parks and spent the day at the zoo, and then a birthday party. I will edit this post and add pictures soon. Even Dallin got down and hiked. He wanted nothing to do with being carried. He was so cute. At the zoo they had earth day activities, and the got to plant some plants (Whitney planted radishes, and Danica planted Marigolds). We had fun and thoroughly wore out the kids.

Sunday morning we finally got to play around with some practice wedding styles. We went to church and then after dinner we put in "the other side of heaven" and practiced other hairdos.

The next two weeks are going to be filled with dance rehersals so we are taking a small break until the dance is over. We have truely been enjoying each other's company (as it should be).

Summer Challenge.

Okay so my friend put out this challenge to increase quality time with your family. She has challenged everyone to do some kind of wholesome recreational activity with your spouse/family everyday for the entire summer. Well, since our family doesn't really have summers we went ahead and started already. Of course - I haven't really told them what's going on yet. So yesterday we went on a walk after dinner. It kept Dallin up about 30 minutes past bedtime, but we saw these beautiful flowers.

These beautiful children enjoying each others company, playing with pine cones and skipping around the block.

We also saw a go cart whipping around the corner. I have to admit that I have missed being outside in the early evening hours. That is one thing Dave and I always did before we had kids was go play after dinner/work. But since we put our kids to bed so early it makes it hard to get outside and play after dinner. It started sprinkling on us at the end of the walk - we talked with our neighbors for a bit and had a fabulous time.

Tonight we played Go Fish, read books, and gave the dog a bath. It was so refreshing to have this quality time together instead of everyone just doing their own thing.

So, I am passing this challenge on to everyone! Get together and make some memories!!!

If you decide to do this challenge you can link your blog to my friends blog and we can all see what everyone is doing.

more happenings

The daily grind is all we've been up to lately, but my sister has been up to some things like...
Getting Engaged!!!

We are so happy for her and her fiance. They are getting married in July and are full into the planning. We are excited that they picked the same week in July that we were already planning to head out to Utah so no extra time off needed.

And - Dave gave me my birthday present early and we have a camera again. I went crazy the first day and took pictures of everything. I was definately in withdrawl. So now I just need to download and edit and then you can all share in how fast the kids are growing.
We have a big dance recital coming up in a few weeks and have begun the craziness of extra rehearsals.
Meanwhile - Dallin is using his binky less frequently and just babbles all day long. He has made sounds very similar to stroller and has said sister a few times when pointing to Danica. Slowly his vocabulary is coming. I can't belive he is 17 months and will be going to nursery soon. He still seems so little.

Conference

While I was putting kids to be tonight we started discussing conference.
Here is a small excerpt from our conversation

Me: So a lot of people talked about the family...
Danica: No mom, they talked about moms. It was all about moms.

Well, at least she was listening.

Easter is here!!

Happy Easter to Everyone!!




Just thought I would share two of my favorite easter/spring songs. I wish I had pics to share, but still no camera.
love you all.
