HOLY COW!!!!

Guess what today is?????

Only the best day of the last three years!!!!

DAVE IS TAKING HIS LAST FINAL RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!

I can't believe it has been three years. I am so proud of him and all the hard work he has put into receiving his MASTERS!!!! I Love him so much and I can't wait to have him back.

WOW! I can't believe it is OVER!!!!

BOSTON HERE WE COME!

Random Pictures

We have had a lot of fun these first few days of April. Luckily we were blessed with sunshine for a few days, but then had buckets full of snow for most of the other 10 days. We have enjoyed all of it.

April 1.

We took advantage of the low 70's and went to the zoo for the kids day off of school. The animals were active and also loved the weather. I love going to the zoo and I have a ton of fun talking to the kids about the animals.

We also stopped at the library on the way out of SLC. The kids love the downtown library. They loved helping me put change in the parking meter and love the cool water to stick their feet in.

They also thought the city and county building was the "Coolest" building they had ever seen.

April 3.

It snowed like crazy and we had a good foot or more. The kids loved playing in it, I had fun taking pictures in it. But it was dang cold and it was April for heaven's sake.

My All Time Favorite Picture of Dawson!!!! I love this picture so much. It makes me smile every time I look at it. I think I will blow it up and put it on the wall?

I am prejudice I know, but I think she looks beautiful in this picture. I have been calling her my Baby Beauty the last few weeks. Ya know, Belle does mean Beauty.

April 5.

We went to the Great Salt Lake to get some pictures for Cait's baptism. I am still very much learning how to use a nice camera, but it was a heck of a lot of fun but very cold. We had a nice Native American man let us down on the docks to take some fun pictures.

April 6.

I had the privilege of chaperoning Dawson's class to the zoo. It was sooo much fun. The kids were great, the other parents were great to be around and it was one of the few nice days. Loved every minute of it. I was seriously tired when I got home and slept for like 13 hours, but hey that's what kids do to you, completely wear you out.

So Beautiful!!!

See that white thing? That's a mouse in the snakes mouth. Yeah, we saw two snakes getting breakfast.

April 10.

Once again I just played around with the camera (I will be so sad to return it). The kids didn't mind either.

Dawson got a little fake mustache from the dentist a while ago, and I found this pic on my cell phone. She's so silly.

Here's the winner

Thank you all for your votes. I love the response. I used the top two picks and made two very similar announcements. Trust me I have done 8 different ones and these two are my fave's. What do you think? I like them both but can't decide on which one. The final decision will come down to Cait. I could really get into this digital scrapbooking/card making business.

Which One

I have a dilemma. I am making baptism announcements for Caitlin, but I can't decide on a picture??? Now I took these pics myself and they aren't where I want them to be edit-wise, but will you choose your favorite and vote in the poll to the right, so I can have some help choosing which one to use. Thanks so much.

This is Me!

I have been thinking a lot about who I am. What are my likes? How would I truly decorate my house if I had unlimited funds?

Here are my thoughts on myself. I was raised in the country. Worked on the farm my whole life, rode horses and 4wheelers and my first car was a dumb truck. I like cowboy boots and hats. And I love that when I am outside (in the country) I can hear crickets, and sprinkler lines and see the stars. I love the smell of fresh cut hay and I don't mind the smell of cow manure. I like to be outside and climbing mountains and getting dirty. I like to be laid back and not take life to seriously. I fight when I need to but otherwise, I go with the flow.

But then there is this other side of me, that I think most people know. I like to look pretty, I like classy stuff in my house, I want a smart phone and all the tech gadgets I can find. I don't wear cowboy boots or hats, I drive an SUV not a pickup truck. Sometimes I am too stressed out and fight more often then is necessary. I would live smack dab in the middle of SLC, or NYC or Boston, if I could.

So really what my problem is, is finding a happy medium between the two sides of me. City girl, or country hick?

Darn Near a Month Ago!

I am getting really bad at this blogging stuff. One a month just isn't cutting it.

March has been pretty mellow around here though. We mostly just hung out and did the everyday normal stuff.

David only has one class left till he is done with his Masters Degree. Hallelujah!

We went down and branded calf's with my dad and brothers. Okay Dave did the nasty stuff. He even prego tested the cows.

I turned 31 last week. It was a pretty fun day. Discovery Gateway with the fam, Sostanza with the hubby, and a headache for the rest of the night. Fun though. I got a new bed set and a king size bed. Another Hallelujah.

And that leads us to today. A long Sunday evening with nothing to do but sleep and make cookies. I did do sharing time today, which was fine. I really feel unorganized when it comes to only having 15 minutes. Oh well life moves on.

Dawson had a dentist appointment on Tuesday. He was so numb he couldn't smile for hours.

As boring as March has been April should have lots of posts. Lots and lots going on in the fourth month of 2011. So excited!!!

Well until next time. Enjoy my short update.

PS Cora prayed the other day at breakfast that she could be reverent and listen to her teacher, and then prayed that she wouldn't have to sleep in her own bed. Oh what a clown.

Just for fun

Anyone ready for winter to be over, raise your hand!!!! I was so spring feverish a week ago and now my kiddo's are building snowmen again. And big ones at that. That can only mean there was lots of snow. Yikes. I am sure glad that Spring coming is like the sun rising. You know it will happen, you just have to wait for it.

Well I left Cait with her Auntie Heather last night after Auntie Alison's baby shower. She was so excited she could hardly breathe. So she got to spend the day with her fave cousin today and they chose to build a gargantuan snowman. Luckily, Uncle Jason was there to help with the stacking. Still that is a huge feet if you ask me. Look at how happy my kiddo is. She's so darn cute.
We also got to do some baptism window shopping yesterday. Crazy it's coming so fast. I can't believe she is turning 8???? Where has the time gone?
