The house!

It's moving right along. I'm getting so excited. We just had our design appointment where we got to pick our flooring, cabinetry and granite and what ever upgrades we wanted. I'm a little nervous about our choices. I hope it all works out the way I envisioned it.

I seriously can't wait until it's done. I am soooo sick of living in this apartment. SERIOUSLY, enough already!!

Unbelievable!

I can NOT believe my baby turned 9. How crazy is that?

Shayna's Birthday was on a Thursday this year. Thursday's are one of our busiest days. All we could do was hurry and open her present, eat dinner and then head our separate ways. Tyler took Britton to soccer and I took Shay to swimming.

Shayna decided not to have a friend party this year and we had a busy week so we told her we could celebrate her Birthday ALL WEEKEND long. Friday night Shay had a swim meet! This is the first time she swam with her new team. She had to swim 50's so her race included the flip turn. And she was swimming against 10 year olds. She did so good. She swam the Butterfly and Freestyle. She took 2nd in Butterfly in her heat and 1st in Freestyle in her heat. However overall she didn't place that well. I thought she did really well but she was so bummed. She even begged me not to blog about it but after talking to her she said it would be ok. She is very hard on herself. She took 11th and 14th. Swimming against 35 other girls I think she placed really well.
Saturday morning Britton had a soccer game. They ended up losing. so sad. But after the game we headed to the lake. Shayna loves to go to the lake with her dog! This is what she chose to do as part 1 of her Birthday celebration.

We were there ALL DAY LONG and had so much fun! We will be doing this a lot during the summer.....I can't wait!
Unfortunately Part 2 of the Birthday celebration didn't go according to plan. We were supposed to go to adventure dome but........

Shay got so sick. It was so sad. She was so excited to go to adventure dome. We will be taking her in a couple of weeks to make up for it. Poor girl.

Happy Birthday Shayna! You are such a special little girl and I am so thankful you are mine!!

My new house!!

It just got started last week. I'm so excited! The next 90 day is going to seem like an eternity.

5 Months old

He just keeps getting bigger and bigger. I'm excited to say that he will be going to obedience school here pretty soon. He's going to be the best Pup ever!

Happy Easter!

We spent our spring break in Utah! This is the last time we will be spending any time in the house I grew up in. I thought I would be be kind of sad and sentimental about it but after seeing the house my Parents are moving in to I am just so excited for them. I'm not sad at all. I'm just very excited that they get a brand new house and will be so much closer to us!! The kids got to spend some time with their Utah friends. It was the last time we will be up that way so it's going to be much harder for them to keep in touch. We are so excited that some of their friends have Saint George connections so we can keep in contact that way. I wanted to spend every second possible helping box things up. I won't be able to get back to Utah to help out before they move so I really appreciate my friends coming to my parents house to visit me. It was so important to me that I got to see them and they went out of their way to make that possible. Thank you so much girls.....your the BEST!!

The kids wanted to have their Easter with Uncle Shane. Britton and Shay asked if it would be ok if we had the Easter Bunny come early so they could make it special for Shane.

We colored a whole bunch of eggs.

And the next morning the Easter Bunny Came!! The kids picked out what they wanted in their baskets. That's why there is only candy.......

The kids spent two days making a scavenger hunt for Shane. They did a great job and I think Shane really enjoyed it. Of course he thought it was from the Easter Bunny so it was so much fun watching the kids pretend they were so surprised and helped Shane with everything.

Cutest kids ever!!

After the scavenger hunt inside the last note from the Easter Bunny sent Shane outside to look for the hidden eggs.

Shane found all but two. Chopper felt he needed to help out too.
Early Saturday morning we headed to Saint George to see my Parents new house. It isn't quite done but it is absolutely beautiful!! I'm so jealous. I can't wait until we get them completely moved in. I'm pretty sure I am going to want to be there every weekend!!
Saturday afternoon we headed back home. We wanted to do something fun for the kids for Easter since the excitement about the Easter Bunny is over. We decided to head to the lake. It was a beautiful day and we knew that Chopper would love it too.

We had a very busy but fun spring break. HaPpY EaStEr!!!
