Ice Cream :)

The weather here has been so off and on lately, one day it will be 80 degrees and the next day it is snowing (literally). I am so ready for it to stop going back and forth and just stay warm!!! For Christmas this last year my mom and dad bought all of us kids some ice cream making balls, you put all the ingredients for the ice cream in one end and the ice and salt in the other end and you roll the ball around for about 15 minutes or so and you get ice cream. It has been a big hit with the kids. A few days ago we had our first 80 degree day this year and took advantage of the weather to get together and have an ice cream making party. Here is a picture of me and my sister Annie rolling our ice cream makers around with some of the kids.

This picture is of the little tree in our front yard the next day. We had a snow storm after our beautiful weather and this tree had little icicles all over it. It is a little hard to see it in the picture but it looked really pretty.

Congrats!

This is a little slow getting posted as well but my sister Nancy got engaged over Easter. Here is a picture of her and her fiance Chris. He is a great guy and we are excited for both of them. They are planning for May 31. Congratulations guys!!!

Catching up

I have really been slacking off on our blog lately, mostly because I don't have anything very interesting to blog about. Here are a few funny pictures I saw as I was scrolling through my camera. This one is a little blurry but I thought it was funny. TJ's jammies were a little stretched out in the neck and he thought it was fun to put it up over his head. It reminded me of a certain cartoon episode of Bevis and Butthead.

Emma put her sunglasses on Rees and she loved it. She left them on for quite a while. Very cute.

Clif and Jenn came to visit from Washington and we got to spend a little time together. Emma snuggled right in to read a story. What a good uncle and dad.

Fun Vacation

A couple of weeks ago the kids and I got to go with Jared on one of his business trips to St. George along with my sister Sarah and her family. We had so much fun! The kid's favorite (besides the pool) was hiking and playing in the sand dunes at Snow Canyon. We also spent some time at Zions. Fun times!!!

So cute!!

Sand dune fun

Rees loved the sand too

TJ and Trav at Zions

Brian and TJ - what a good cousin!

We stopped at the Mountain Meadows Massacre memorial on our way home. TJ really liked watching the flag blow in the wind.

Easter Morning

It was fun to see the kids running around the house to find their easter baskets. Emma sometimes picks out her own clothes for the day before she even comes out of her room in the morning, she picked a really cute one for the special day.

Ready for church in their new Easter clothes

Easter Fun

Emma and TJ had so much fun on Easter that Emma keeps making wishes that the Easter bunny will come again so we can have another easter egg hunt. Just a few pictures of the day.

The poor horse will never be the same

Wheelbarrow races at my mom and dad's. GO EMMA!!!

What would a May family get-together be without a good game of buddy tag?
