DYW Weekend

It is no secret that I am awful at forgetting to take pictures. I did find it funny that out of the DYW weekend I just had this is the only picture that I ended up with from the program :) My mom helped with a dinner for the Friday night Dress Rehearsal and they made the Café Rio pork salads. Apparently they wanted to go along with the theme and wore these sombreros. It was great! Love my mom!

The big 2-6!

I am so mad that I didn't get any pictures of Tanner's birthday! I need to get better! This guy is definitely a trooper. Now not only does his birthday come during planting, and now right before the big, crazy last week of DYW. But my sweet cousin Savannah got married that day so we spend the day up in Idaho Falls. On the plus side he did get to eat at the Olive Garden. Sunday we had some friends out(Logan, Tosha, Marcus and Bridget). I was very proud of myself because I bucked up and made a cake from scratch. I was scared because I ruined the cake I tried to make on Breckyn's birthday but luckily it all worked out. He also got his birthday wish and I gave him and got him some Lebron James basketball shoes (boys and their toys)! I am so grateful for Tanner. I am so thankful that my Heavenly Father blessed me with such a hardworking, loving and understanding eternal companion. I wouldn't trade him for anything!! Happy Birthday Tan! Can't wait for all the rest to come!

Spring is in the air

I am loving that Spring is on its way. I have been crazy busy with DYW and I feel like poor Breckyn is suffering for it. I am trying to get her some outside time since we have been cooped up all winter.  We are enjoying the long awaited sunshine. Even though I love helping with DYW, I am looking forward the down time  with my sweet baby girl!

Easter Weekend

We had a great Easter Weekend. Heather and Tyler came up with their family and it was great to be together. Easter rolled around on a fast Sunday and Bishop Ure suggested that the Easter Bunny come Saturday morning to help not to detract from the Spirit and I think he will continue to do that, because I loved it that way. Breckyn wouldn't sit still for a picture by her basket but she got new church shoes and a little strolled for her doll. We also went in Saturday morning to the community Easter egg hunt. I was running behind as usual and got there after all the fun but there were still a few eggs lying around and Breckyn got to find them with her cousins. That afternoon we went over to Grandma Dayna's. She had put together a hunt for all the grandkids and had a surprise waiting for them at the end of the hunt. Breckyn's was the Bell and Beast set for her little people castle. She LOVED it! We enjoyed our Easter meal together that day since we have later church and it is easier for Heather's family to get home before dark. It was so fun to be all together and enjoy one another's company. We don't get to do it often enough.

Breckyn and cousin Gracie in their matching dresses. It is definitely a task getting these two to hold still for a picture :)

We love when Aunt DeDe comes to visit!!

That weekend was also Marcus and Bridget's little boy Boston's blessing. Cory and Efrain came up to be apart of the special day. When there four get together it is definitely entertaining. I can't tell you how hard it was to get a good picture of all of them because they all just kept making each other laugh.

All Moved In...FINALLY!

We finally got all moved in! Just in time for DYW to be starting and for Tanner's planting season to being. Yeah we aren't busy at all ;) Of course I didn't get any pictures. We are still settling in. I don't have any pictures on the wall, which is the saddest part for me. Hopefully I will be able to get to that soon.
We were actually able to get all of the moving done in just two trips. About a month ago I started organizing things and was writing room names on boxes, so when we moved we could just put them all in the rooms they went and I could get to them as I went from room to room. I had the office and other non essentials packed up so a couple of weeks ago Tanner's dad and our friend Travis Pincock came and took the whole basement over. That was a nice relief. So when it came down to the final day we were able to get everything moved over on a Friday night with the help of Tanner's parents and a couple guys from the farm.
It feels nice to be in a home that we know that we are going to be in for the rest of our lives. People keep asking me, "Is it weird living in the house you grew up in?" Of course its not. It's my home. You know the expression, "It feels like coming home." Well I have and it feels great! We did enough remodeling to truly make it feel our own and I think that is what helps a lot. I had so many great memories growing up in this home and it is so fun to think about my kids running around that same yard and adding to the memories. I had so many Christmas' in this home and I will continue to share that with my family as it grows. Something that is also kind of neat and funny. Tanner and I had our first kiss on the front steps of this house and he asked my dad if he could marry me in the office of this home. So for me I once again feel right at home, surrounded by memories of love and pure joy :) I can't wait to see what life continues to bring us!

Where did my baby go??

I snapped this picture on the way into church this morning and I could not get over how grown up she looked. Seriously where is the time going? She is growing up so much and is developing quite the little personality that constantly keeps us entertained! At her check up back in February she weighed 20 lbs. 12 oz. and was 30 1/4" tall. She definitely keeps us running around during church. Tanner and I haven't sat through a sacrament meeting in a long time. BUT nursery is right around the corner and we are counting down the weeks (6 to be exact)!

St. George Getaway

We were so excited to get away to St. George the end of February. It was our last vacation before planting, crazy summer/fall farming hours. We were lucky enough to have Devonee come with us. It was a lot of fun. We ate a lot of good food (probably too much), went to the hot tub at night, did some shopping and most of all relaxed.  I really wanted to go into Zion's and take a hike but that was going to cut into Tanner's relaxation ;) maybe next year. We will definitely be making this trip a yearly thing. For now we are looking forward to Thanksgiving with my family down in Dixie :)
