Busy weekend!

Relay for life, we already ran, can you tell?!

Super Daddy and Super Lily!

This weekend was very busy and mostly fun! Friday morning we went to the "Lake on the Hill" in Cedar and played on the beach with friends. It was a lot of fun! Then that evening we drove to Beaver and did Relay for Life with Todd's cousins. It was a lot of fun, and Todd may more may not have gotten pretty sore from the running! :) We got home kind of late that night, but the next morning we got up early and went to Webelos Day Camp up Cedar Canyon. That got us all sunburned and dehydrated so since then, we've pretty much just vegged... It's been good to just recuperate because my gas tank was definitely on empty! We also had a fun visit with our fabulous friends Emma and Jordan and can't wait to see them next weekend as well! Lets hope this week is somewhat relaxing so we can make it through next weekend which is going to be even more busy! :)

Weekend o' showers

hmmmm what is this?! hehe
Bridal shower group!
Pregnant twinners! Matchy matchy pregnant girls! :)
Jamie so excited to open presents!

PARTY!

So last weekend was a weekend o' showers for me! I had a baby shower in the morning with some of the high school friends and then that afternoon I had a bridal shower with the college friends. And why we're still in cedar, I know not... lol jk! It was a lot of fun seeing all the old peeps and laughing and laughing and laughing! I really do wish I lived closer to everyone, but alas, it is not so! So when we do come up, it just a lot of fun seeing more people and making it a special occasion!

Good Bye to an Era!

All the kids getting super dirty!
The original 4!

Todd being a goof! but what's new?! hehe

So 5 years ago, I got a job cleaning the dorms at SUU. On my first day, I met a newly married super cute girl named Emily. Later that week I met Ashley and Jesse. By the end of that year, we were all married and we all kind of grew together. As life changes, as it always does, obviously someone is going to move away. Ashley has already moved away and back again, but now Emily and her family are moving away to Logan. I am so sad to have such a close friend move away. The funny thing is, I am the only one not pregnant out of these four.. just so you know, I don't plan on joining them any time soon. Hopefully we will still be able to see them often, but they will definitely be missed!

Daddy Daughter Date

Just for good measure...
All dressed up and ready to go!
Todd and Lily ready to leave on their Daddy Daughter Date! Lily was SO excited! She got all dressed up in one of her nicest dresses and then they went to Chili's where they shared a meal and got a chocolate molten lava cake for free! Todd knows how to win over a 2-year-old's heart because he then took her to the park where she went down the slide about 60 times give or take a few. They had a blast and I'm glad they got to go!
This morning when Lily woke up, I asked her what they ate at the restaurant, and her reply was,
"Cake" and I asked,
"What else?" Trying to find out what they ate for dinner. Her reply was,
"Ice Cream." and I asked,
"What else?"
"CHOCOLATE!" I about feel out of bed I was laughing so hard! I love my little spunky Lily!

Being the mom

Lily excited to take care of Reese
Lily "changing Reese's diaper" check out Reese's face
hehehe
This was Reese's reaction after the matter!

Lily cracks me up when she's trying to take care of people around her. She is constantly being motherly to everyone. She actually asks me to cry so she can make me feel better. She's so cute! Luckily, Reese is pretty laid back and just takes it!

Dress up time!

Lily was playing dress up and I thought she looked adorable! She's so fun!

Photo shoot

I love these girls and I love how much they love each other! Lily just has to show up and Reese is laughing! It makes me so happy! They had just woke up from a nap right before I took these pictures but they were happy so it worked!

Guess who's eating solids!

Reese is officially eating solid foods now! She LOVES them! Sometimes one bottle isn't even enough for her! I love it! I love that Todd can feed her now! I love that she gets all messy and is super happy when we feed her. The one down side is... the diapers! Not a huge fan, but that's fine I can cope! She is seriously growing up WAY too fast!

Easter

The girls in their Easter dresses.

Seeing as I got home from California, mid-day, the day before Easter, we didn't get much into the festivities of Easter this year. It's ok, they don't really know a difference so no biggie! Easter is about more than that anyway. It was a quiet day at our house full of love and remembrance of our Savior and his life. I hope next year is a little more fun and not as much, I'm exhausted!
