Easter

A white Easter... Gotta love Utah! We took the boys to the Easter egg hunt at the park Saturday. Trey's age group was first, it was so cute watching the little ones. We, okay I, lost Jett (big surprise). In my defense there were like 200 kids in his age group!! Anyway, our neighbor was there and helped us look for him. She found him just wandering through the crowd. I am sending him in on a rope next year little stinker. Luckily Mase is tall enough and doesn't wander off like someone else, so we didn't lose him after his age group was done! After the Easter egg hunt we went to a birthday part for my niece and the boys played with cousins. More family parties on Easter with Ty's family. I'm sure we'll be heading to the dentist after all the candy is finally gone!

My favorite people

Let's color some eggs already!!

Jett

Friday was Jett's kindergarten registration. It was so cute, the staff at the elementary school made it so fun for the kids. Since the school mascot is a mustang it was a western theme. All the kids got a cowboy hat to wear back the first day of kindergarten, along with a little bag with a treat and a picture they colored. At the end they gave the kids a Kneaders sugar cookie (my favorite) and when I went to pick up Jett he didn't have a cookie. I went to the lady and asked for a cookie for Jett and she said she gave him one and he threw it in the garbage-without even taking a bite! I must have looked pretty sad about the cookie because she snuck me another one. Anyway can't wait for Jett to go to kindergarten, it's going to be an adventure for both of us!

Washable Markers

Okay so this is the after picture-Trey in time out after his "bathroom art"

Come on mom it's beautiful!

See mom, this is my favorite!

Can't let him out of my sight for a second... Thank goodness it was washable and not a sharpie! To his credit he did grab a wash cloth and try to clean it up before I saw it.

Jett is in a "Dragon Ball" phase right now, either that or he wants to be an aerobics instructor!

Masen's last Junior Jazz game was Saturday. He had so much fun!!

He made two baskets at the last game YAY!!

We loved watching him play because he usually had a huge grin as he ran down the court.

Trophy Time

Trey is just doin his usual Gremlin Thing!!

Good advice

I just saw this on a blog I follow and I thought it was so cute and very true!

Old Farmers Advice:

Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong.

Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.

A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor.

Words that soak into your ears are whispered...not yelled.

Meanness don't jes' happen overnight.

Forgive your enemies; it messes up their heads.

Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you.

It don't take a very big person to carry a grudge.

You cannot unsay a cruel word.

Every path has a few puddles.

When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.

The best sermons are lived, not preached.

Most of the stuff people worry about ain't never gonna happen anyway.

Don't judge folks by their relatives.

Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll enjoy it a second time.

Don't interfere with somethin' that ain't bothering you none.

Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'.

Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.

The biggest troublemaker you'll probably ever have to deal with, watches you from the mirror every mornin'.

Always drink upstream from the herd.

Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.

Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin' it back in.

If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around.

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly.

Wish we were there...

For the past three years, Ty and I have been lucky enough to spend the first or second week of January on a cruise somewhere really warm. Ty works for a great company that is nice enough to send us:) Unfortunately, we have to wait until NEXT January to go again so I am reminiscing and looking back at pics of our past trips to try and absorb the memories and pretend I'm there. It's just not working so well as I sit at my computer with the space heater practically touching my feet!!
This a beach in Barbados, one of my all time favorites.
This is the same beach in Barbados, you walk up some stairs to that beautiful resort.
This is St. Lucia. Ty and I did a zip line there through a rain forest- I won't show pics of that because we had to wear the dorkiest looking helmets...

This was our last stop- San Juan, Puerto Rico. This is an awesome fortress we got to take a tour of.

Sledding

We had fun sledding with our friends Erik, Steph and their daughter Lily. It was so cold but the kids didn't seem to mind at all.

Masen caught some big air- I tried to act impressed but was really freaking out over the jumps he was hitting. He went so high!

Ty and Erik dragging some baggage aka Lily and Jett.

I don't even know how many times Jett ran up the hill to go again. He has sooo much energy!

The triple decker

Ty definitely got a workout that day pulling the boys up the hill; it was pretty steep.

This was my only time down-it was freezing and mama headed to the hot chocolate!
