COLORING EGGS

March 24, 2013

Our FAMILY decided to CELEBRATE EASTER a week early so we woke up Sunday morning and dyed our EASTER EGGS. This was Lytton's first time COLORING EGGS! He did a great job! We dyed eggs and I dyed the egg whites to make my DEVILED EGGS look pretty. This was a new idea I snatched off of Pinterest. They turned out good! We were sad that Mikell had to work and miss the COLORING OF THE EGGS!

                                                   Lytton taking this egg thing seriously!

                                              Oh cute! First time dying eggs together!

                                     Loving Easter Traditions with my kiddos minus Mikell :(

                                          Boston loved this yellow egg he made for Mommy!

                                                                     

My colorful deviled eggs...next time I will use my cake decorating tip to make them look nice!

SPAGHETTI FACTORY

March 23, 3013

Joyce and Jenny came in town and worked SO hard MOVING Grandma out of her condo because she is staying with my mom full-time. So we all got together Thursday, Friday, and Saturday to go through her things and on Saturday we had the Guys in our FAMILY move all the big stuff. That evening we went to SPAGHETTI FACTORY. I was so happy to have my MIZITHRA CHEESE on my SPAGHETTI. It was so good! iT'S MY FAVORITE!  I loved that we were all TOGETHER. Have told you lately how much I LOVE MY FAMILY? Well, I do very much and I love it when we are TOGETHER.

 So happy Scott and Stacy came with us. Here they are with Ashley and Lytton

LACROSSE

March 19, 2013

Mason had a LACROSSE GAME in Bountiful, so Zach, Boston and I went to watch. It was so exciting to see MASON make a GOAL because he is a DEFENDER. It's not too often that they get the opportunity to run up and make the goal. I am so proud of him for being such a GREAT PLAYER!  Boston enjoyed playing a little LACROSSE himself with Graham. Who knows? He could be a FUTURE LACROSSE PLAYER too!

                                                Mason is #50 and he is a really good player!

                                                               Future player?

                                      Boston was entertained for a few minutes watching the game

                                                                         Buddies

 Boss loves being on Daddy's shoulders. Zach kept spinning around and Boss would laugh so hard.

BIRTHDAY BASH

March 17, 2013

The family came over to CELEBRATE mine and Morgan's BIRTHDAY! Of course Steven made me dress up in GREEN attire for ST PATRICK'S DAY.  Mikell made an awesome CAKE and we had fun getting together. I cannot believe I am 46 years old. That means I am now closer to 50 than I am 40! Crazy!! One of the best MEMORY I will have of this BIRTHDAY is when Ashley had my FAMILY and a few FRIENDS write a favorite MEMORY they had of me. Of course it made me cry! Those things I will always treasure! Thanks everyone for making my BIRTHDAY so special!

SQUIRT GUN FUN

March 16, 2013

Grandma Shirley and Big Grandma came up to take me to LUNCH for my BIRTHDAY. Boston got hold of a little SQUIRT BOTTLE and had a blast SQUIRTING everyone! Thank goodness it was on a fine mist but he thought that was the neatest thing ever! Here he is SQUIRTING his GREAT, AND GREAT, GREAT GRANDMAS!  Afterwards he wanted to show us how high he could JUMP. Then he went over to Big Grandma and pulled her up so she would JUMP with him. She was so cute with him and I will always treasure this FUN MEMORY!

                                            Here he is really getting into this squirting business!

                                                         Granndma Shirley gets squirted!

                                                       Big Grandma gets squirted too!

                                                               C'mon Big Grandma!

                                                                      1, 2, 3, JUMP!

                                                          Grandma Shirley JUMPS too!

                                                                     Love my boy!

Here we are out to lunch. I chose Granny Annie's this time. Mikell, Boss, and Zach

MY BIRTHDAY SURPRISE!

March 16, 2013

I was so SURPRISED when my doorbell rang Saturday morning and there was Erin, Tyler, Jackson, Rylee, Channing, Debbie, Jessica, Brody and Reese standing there with a cute BIRTHDAY SIGN, FLOWERS, AND BREAKFAST!!  They brought fruit, breakfast casserole, cinnamon rolls, orange juice, etc... It was DELICIOUS! It honestly made my whole day! I thought that was so thoughtful of them! Erin was in town on just the right weekend! :)  My mom and Grandma came up after and took me to LUNCH, and then on Sunday we CELEBRATED with the whole FAMILY mine and MORGANS BIRTHDAY. Thanks to my wonderful FAMILY for making this such a  FUN BIRTHDAY!

                            Erin, the thoughtful niece, and her amazing cooking skills made my day!

Channing and Debbie

                              
                                Jessie and Brody are always so sweet to do nice things for me!

                                    Debbie and the kids...Boston was learning to share his toys!

EATING OUT OF THE RAINGUTTER

March 2013

We haven't CELEBRATED some GOOD NEWS by EATING ICE CREAM  OUT OF THE RAINGUTTER for a while now so when we were all together we CELEBRATED: Ashley and Lytton's PREGO STATUS, Zach getting AWESOME GRADES, Mikell being promoted to a TRAINER AT WORK and MOVING UP THE LADDER, Boston for having a SUCCESSFUL SURGERY and Anna being MISS KAYSVILLE.  Lots of good things to CELEBRATE! At the end, Zach got me good with the WHIPPED CREAM! Ash got him back but it scared Boston and he wasn't too happy about that! :) I love this FUN, CRAZY TRADITION we have! And I am so PROUD of my kids and their ACCOMPLISHMENTS!

                            Zach got me good! You should have seen the other pic with it all over me!

                                          Boston gets upset when Ash got him really good.

It was worse than this. Zach had already wiped it off by the time I ran in there with my camera but Ashley looks pretty proud of herself!
