Women's Conference

Women's Conference in the SG is pretty much perfect!  Harlee and I watched the conference together in our comfy clothes.  The speakers were so good and I loved watching it with my favorite girl.  

Let Spring Break begin!

We left today to drive down to St. George for Spring Break!  We took off around 5:30pm and stopped at Two Jacks pizza to grab dinner.  The drive down seemed to go really fast and there was a lot less traffic than I anticipated.  We are hoping to stay down in our favorite place until Thursday.  The weather is supposed to be in the high 70's or low 80's the whole time.  I seriously cannot wait to have a wonderful family filled week!  Love Spring Break.

Boondocks Day

Happy Boondocks Day for Nash!  He made honor society for the first 3 terms so he got to go to Boondocks as a reward.  He went to his first class and then took a bus to Boondocks.  Most of his friends were able to go also.  He had so much fun.  We are so proud of you Nash!  You so deserve a little celebration.

Mimi's Birthday Surprise Dinner

 

My Mom's birthday was today and my Dad planned a birthday surprise at Los Hermanos.  We all arrived at 5pm and my dad brought her in at 5:10pm.  It was so fun because she not only was surprised that we were there but she did not know that Jeremy and Hinck was there.  She took a few minutes to notice Jeremy and she was so shocked.  Then she sat down and someone started touching her feet.  She looked under the table and Hinck was hiding.  It was the best!  So fun to get to eat great food together and celebrate.  Happy Birthday Mimi!

Cousin Time

Hinckley came with Jeremy on his visit this time.  It has been so fun to have him around.  He is seriously so funny!  Today I took Nash, Gray, Tag, and Hinck to Airborne.  They did the Airborne/Labyrinth hopper pass.  They had so much fun jumping and doing the escape rooms.  I love that they have cousins their own age.  I so wish that Jeremy and his family lived closer.  Such cute cousins and friends.

Another siblings night!

 Jeremy came into town this week for a dental conference.  He brought Hinckley with him and they are staying at our house for a couple of nights.  I love that I get to spend a little time with them.  Last night Jenna, Don, Jeremy, and I met up for dinner.  We went to Tsunami.  The food was really good but the company was even better.  I am so blessed to have my siblings be some of my best friends.  They are all such good examples to me.  What a fun night!

Tag is rockin the double digits

Tag is 10!  I cannot believe my baby is double digits.  It was probably the saddest birthday for him.  He came home yesterday with a sore throat and was super sick on his birthday.  Poor guy.  It made me so grateful that we celebrated on Friday night.  We let him rest and then in the afternoon let him open his presents.  He had made Joey a list of what he wanted weeks ago and Joey got everything on his list and a bonus gift of a cotton candy machine.  He was super excited about his presents.  He also got quite a few new shirts which he had told me it was ok for me to get him!  We then enjoyed his favorite cake with mom's frosting!  I am so grateful for our caboose.  He brings such honesty and unconditional love to our family.  He is truly a blessing.  Happy Birthday Tig!

Silly Dog

Joey got a blonde wig through his Amazon adventures.  We decided to try it on Ike and it cracked us up.  We think that Ike looks good as a blonde.  So funny!

Siblings night

Tonight was a rare weekend night when all of the kids were home and did not have plans with their friends. They decided to go spend time together as siblings.  They went to Chick Fila to get shakes and fries.  Then they came back home and played Jack Box.  There was so much laughter coming from the basement and it was the best sound ever.  I love that they like spending time together.  I love watching their friendships with each other grow.  I am blessed to have wonderful friendships with my siblings and I pray that our kids have the same blessing.  

Tag's early birthday celebration

Tag's birthday is next week but we decided to go celebrate a few days early.  He decided that he wanted to go tubing as a family and I could not have been happier.  Tubing is seriously one of my favorite family activities so it was a win win.  We reserved the 6-8pm slot and had the best time.  Tag wanted to go down the hill once with me and then decided to brave it on his own.  One time was all he needed to boost his confidence.  He spent the rest of the time flying down the hill by himself.  We all had so much fun.  After our time was up we went to Dairy Keen for some fries and shakes.  We all chatted and enjoyed each other's company while we drove home. Everyone was in the best mood and it was seriously the perfect night.  I love my family so much!  Thanks so much Tag for inviting all of us to your party.  Best night ever.

Day of Luck

Happy St. Patrick's Day.  Even though the kids forgot to set a trap, their leprechaun friend still made a little visit.  Lucky left the kids lots of green treats and a little note.  I hope the kids enjoy their day and that it is full of luck.
