Spring Break-cation

Alexandra has to do a county report ....we encouraged her to chose somewhere warm. We didn't have to do much convincing...she chose Washington County. Ü

First stop Red Cliffs

I love you forever and always!

Oh...I'm Complaining~

Dear....My Job,

I am tired of working OT. You have offered OT since Jan. 29th. Did you know it is now April 9th? And you keep sending me multiple emails everyday letting me know you are still offering and "desperately need" me to work OT. Thanks but um NO THANKS! I am tired of this job~ I am tired of always being needed....and frankly you give nothing back! (oh right i get to fly free) But hire some new people....i am tired of daily migraines!

Ü Happy Day Ü

I know I am very spoiled....well i like to call it blessed! Ü We went to American Idol (again!!) last night and were able to be in the audience for the live taping. The last 2 years we went to the dress rehearsals. Scott and I actually made it on tv a couple different times. Hopefully you have a big screen and HD....otherwise you cant see us! ha! ha! Although Elyssa and Cheryl flew down from Seattle and met us yesterday and also went to the show. Because Elyssa is young and beautiful she stood in the mosh pit......then was moved for the last song as a seat filler...and made it on tv!......no HD or big screen needed! Ü

We also met Kacey, Kevin and Sydney in So. Cal. Sydney took her first flight, a short jaunt from Las Vegas. She is cute as a button but only wants her mommy to hold her. (i did squeeze maybe 5 minutes out of her though. Ü)

Scott and I flew home today with sunburns and longing for summer to finally come to Utah. Tonight as we were driving home from dinner, Scott had the window down, the sun was beating on my face, and the radio was playing "soul sister" LOUDLY~ The girls and I singing along with every word....I couldn't help but think...... how much I love my family! Ü

YIKES!

See this cute little girl? Yes, this one that looks so innocent...ha! ha! ha! She has a bad habit of waking up in the middle of the night and puts her face right up to my sleeping face and whisper "mom! mom!" Scares me to death every single time!

I Heart Surprises!

I woke up to a surprise from scott this morning. Last night I sent him to the store so we could eat breakfast with oj and milk. When I walked down the stairs to make yummy ham and cheese croissants...i found the Pink cd, that Ive been wanting!! It is now 8:44 am...ive listened to it twice. Thanks sweetie! I love it! Ü

Not So Great Pics of Seattle

The first pic is the best out of all of them....but it doesn't look like we are standing in front of the puget sound....it looks like a bunch of air conditioning units. oh how lovely! Thanks for the fun afternoon Grandma Billie at Pikes Market Place.

We had a great time visiting with the Millers and excited for Jeff to serve in Brazil. Madison went kayaking by herself for the first time this trip! She is now hooked and can't wait to go back. We always love visiting all y'all. Hopefully one day we will own the property next door! Ü

Is It Spring yYet?

Oh! oh! oh! I think spring is around the corner. I was able to work in my flower beds today. I found 4 croques blooms, tons of daffodil and tulip bubs coming up. ahhh how i love to be outside~
Two years ago today, on St. Patricks day Alexandra broke her arm. When I picked her up from school she was so excited that she didn't break another bone today. silly girl~

Happy Birthday Alexandra!

It's Yaya's Day Soon!

One of these cute little girls are having a birthday party today!
