Easter in Delta

We went to Delta for our annual Easter tradition. The girls absolutely love going to Delta and see Grandma Jeanne. They pretend to be Grandma Jeanne when they are playing house, it is so cute. A funny thing My Grandma is addicted to Diet Coke and says a couple times a day she is going to get a pop. When the girls are pretending to be here I will hear them say to each other..."I'm going to get a pop." It's so funny what kids notice and pick up on. Easter was fun and we enjoyed visiting the Delta fam who we don't get to see very often. My mom did her traditional glow-in the dark egg hunt for the married kids. The girls thought that was pretty exciting to carry around flashlights and hunt for eggs. The Easter Bunny brought the girls an Easter dress and they enjoyed a little Easter Egg Hunt. It was a great time and Ry is already to tell the Easter Bunny what kind of dress she wants next year. She's taking these holidays pretty seriously. :)

I loved Jared's leg in this picture...not sure what he was getting ready to do.

80th Birthday and 60th Anniversary

We had a night honoring Jared's grandparents for reaching some major milestones...a 60th wedding anniversary and an 80th birthday (his grandpa). I was in charge of putting together a movie (thank you mother) for the event. We also had yummy food, some karaoke, crafts for kids, etc. Ryah looooves celebrating birthday's and getting together with cousins. Kes on the other hand is perfectly content sitting with mom and dad. It was a great night. Congratulations Mary Lou and Sandy!!! We love you :)

Behind...AGAIN

I think I get into a routine with the whole blogging and then before I know it, almost two months has gone by and no posts. :( So now it's catch-up time.

The last year we have been in limbo with our house stuff. After being shot down multiple times on lots around the Kaysville area we decided to go to West Haven. It really is weird some of the things we experienced the last year trying to make things work in Kaysville; who ever thought it would be so hard to buy dirt. Once our offer was made on a West Haven lot, it is amazing how everything fell into place...and so fast. I guess that is where we are meant to be right now.

The girls are really excited. They picked out their bedrooms and thought that was pretty neat. Jared made the mistake of telling them they can pick out what color they want their room to be. Ryah is adamant in having a pink room with pink walls. She seriously was so upset the other day at the flooring place when she couldn't find pink carpet. Keslee wants a yellow room with yellow carpet. This will be a fun little adventure...thank you babe!!! I have already been made fun of for my window size, I like light and I hate small windows what can I say...I do admit didn't realize the size the architecht had made the windows until Jared framed them. I do still love them, though.







We ventured to a Ute gymnastics meet a couple weeks ago. Ever since the girls have been in gymnastics they enjoy watching the "big" girls on the beam balance (Ryah's terminology) and the big bars...oh, we can't forget the Dippin' Dots!!! Always a must whenever we go anywhere that sales them. :)







Jared and the kids must have had a fun photo shoot one afternoon. I didn't realize they did anything until I was downloading the pics from the camera.












Well a couple entries down...few more to go!! :)

Happenings...

We had the opportunity to go to Time Out For Women again in February. It was a lot of fun to get away for the day with just the girls. We always have a great time when we are together.








These three definitely got the most out of it :)

Next was Valentine's and oh what a flop that was. Back in December we decided to go to Celtic Night, along with the rest of my fam. I was a clogger for many years back in the day so I have a great appreciation for any type of Riverdance. I've seen the Riverdance production and loved it, so I thought this would be similar since all the advertisements focused on the "Riverdancing" part...but I was wrong. We went to dinner at PF Chang's then headed to Kingsbury Hall. I usually don't leave productions during intermission, but all of us got up and left. I wasn't impressed. We would have rather been at home with the girlies, they would have been much more entertaining. However, it was nice to have a night out with the hubs, I do loooove those. :)

Winter Fun

We've been trying to "enjoy" this cold weather. It definitely has been warmer than other winters, but not the late-70's and up that I prefer. We've been swimming a couple times, my what a difference six months makes in the girls swimming ability. They are water logs and ask to go swimming a couple times a week now. All the cousins went one night. It is funny to see how different they all are. Jett is Mr. Waterboy and loves to go under. Jax would rather walk around in water up to his ankles, with a life jacket and his monster truck. I don't know if he ever went in farther than his knees...willingly. Cam absolutely loved it and kept wanting his life jacket off. He kept standing in the middle of the fountains and running to the deeper water.

The girls have a new obsession with complimentary ice cream cones from Arctic Circle, so we go there, play on the playground, and eat the ice cream. Kes loves vanilla and Ryah loves the cherry dipped cones. Arctic Circle is hardly busy which makes it even better. It is crazy how busy life gets and our girls don't even seem to be in a busy stage of life, we are only in gymnastics and preschool, but it seems crazy at times.




























Unfortunately, we have been plagued with the yucky chest, head cold thing that seems to be going around the last two weeks so we've been home bodies. Hopefully this next week we can get back around to doing things.
