Thanks Mom!

My cute mom came down last week to watch the kids while Jer and I went on an unsuccessful house hunting trip. The kids were spoiled and loved having Grandma's undivided attention. They are going through withdrawals this week not having "Grandma Desi" here. Thanks mom!

Big Kid Bikes

Jer found the Lilos some "big" bikes. He has been looking for a while and finally found a good deal. Leah's was a little too big, but she really has no interest in riding bikes, she is more into the fashion side:) Landon loves the new bike and is actually pretty good. I love them in their helmets. The first night we got them Landon wanted to sleep with his, love these kids!

Happy Mother's Day!!!

I had a wonderful Mother's Day! My kids sleep in, Jer made me breakfast in bed, I didn't have to do anything all day but enjoy my kids, and I got a new hand mixer and knifes! It was a perfect Mother's day. I f only everyday could be Mother's day....right. I also want to say that I am so grateful for my own mother and to my sisters for the examples that they have been to me. i look up to all of them and wish them a Happy Mother's Day!





The goggles!

The Lilos got google in their Easter baskets and have been practicing with them in the tub. Leah would wear them all day if she could. It is hilarious to watch her put her face in the water and try and swim in the tub.







It's a BOY!!!

We are so excited to be having another boy on the way. I love pregnancy and it treats me pretty well. I haven't been sick at all just a little bit tired now and then, I think it's mostly from chasing me other two munchkins around. The Lilos have been pretty cute with the whole baby in the belly thing. Leah told us the other day that she had a "barbi" in her belly, then Landon had to chime in and say he had a "buzz lightyear" in his. Anyway, everything is looking good and everyone is healthy, so hopefully it stays that way!

Easter In Utah

We had a quick and busy week in Utah. I feel like it was just a dream. We packed a lot into the week which made it go by even faster. I feel like I need at least two weeks there to get everything in. One for business and one for play. Here is our week in a nutshell.

Saturday
Made the 15 hour drive in one day....never again. The kids did awesome, but it was still a long day.




Stopping by the Grand Canyon on our way.


Sunday
Easter Morning. We stayed with Melissa for the week, so the Easter bunny came to her house for our egg hunt.










Later that day we went to Grandmas house for a huge Easter egg hunt. Grandma really spoils her grandkids.







We decided to take pictures with all the Grandkids. You get the idea of how it went.





Then we wanted one with Grandma and Grandpa.












Monday
The not so surprise "Surprise" Party. Melissa and I put together a surprise party for our husbands. My husband knew before the party because I failed to delete the deleted items on our computer. It started to hail just about the time all the guests were supposed to show up. Oh well, it was still fun to see friends and family.



Tuesday
This was our only day that we didn't have anything planned. So we enjoyed it by going to lunch with great grandma and playing.







Wednesday
We celebrated our 7th anniversary while we were there. My mom was nice enough to watch the kids over night. We went to dinner with the Coburns and then spent the night and the anniversary inn in the "mysteries of Egypt" room. It was my first night away from my kids. It was a nice anniversary, thanks mom.






Thursday
We finally were able to meet Cindy, Lynn's new wife, in person.


Friday
This was a very busy day. I finally decided to cut my hair off. Moving to a hot place and with the baby on the way it was time. Now I really look like my twin. I just need some highlights.





That night we went to the wedding at the Bowling alley. It was interesting to say the least.
