"My Dreams Come Trued"


Ani was so excited to finally get her own trophy, she has always wanted one. She has carried that thing around since the moment that she got it. It even slept in her bed with her last night.
She is not really a huge fan of soccer right now, but this age is crazy! Honestly it's so crazy. These kids all run in a tight ball and push anyone in their way, even if they are on their own team!! The first game Ani played a boy told her she was "going down" and she had no idea what it meant but knew it was not good and scared her a bit. Now she just runs along with the pack and if the ball is by her foot she will give it a kick.

And yes, I am one of those moms who loses soccer shirts and sends her in turquoise. But she is on the blue team so that's close enough:)


She finally got to throw the ball in! They all fight over this, and when you are so small it is tough to get noticed in the crowd of hands and kids yelling me, me, me!

Easter


We had a great Easter. The weather was okay for one hunt on Saturday but pretty rainy on Sunday. The girls had a four day weekend so we colored eggs, went shopping, baked cinnamon rolls, hung out with the Easter Bunny, started packing boxes and organizing, went swimming with friends, watched a lot of movies, oh yeah and dad studied the whole time:(


I can not believe how big my little one is getting! She looks so big with her gloves and pearls. Makes me so sad she is turning three next month!

We will soon be getting Family pictures taken but this was not so bad for setting the timer inside with wiggly kids.
I love my punks so much! We had a crazy, messy, wild Easter break. We love being here in Ohio and will really miss holidays here. Our community always puts on really fun things for families. Although we are getting really excited to move and cant wait to start our new adventure. Counting down- about six more weeks left!

Utah

We finally made it back to Utah after 8 months. Sadly we could only go for Spring Break and stay a week, but we still had a lot of fun.

We stayed at Aunt Lyns and loved seeing her family, her hampster, using her icecream cone spoons, playing littlest pet shop ALL day long, jumping on the trampoline, this list goes on and on.


We loved seeing all the cousins again and spending lots of time with them. They are all getting so big!

These girls had so much fun being crazy, Jilly taught them all songs and weird moves. Joss is still singing "bring back my neighbors to me, to me" ) I love how close all the cousins are, everyone is always involved and they all get along SO well. We love our families!! Thanks for the fun week, cant wait to see you again:)

Provo Beach Resort

We went to Provo Beach resort and spent the day surfing, boogie boarding, playing arcade games, doing a ropes course up pretty dang high, they also have bowling, miniature croquet, kiddie playgrounds, and lazer tag. It was so much fun! Sadly my camera died after five pictures so if I run into more I will post those too! It was so fun seeing the girls try out surfing and boogie boarding, they did awesome! Even Aniston gave it a try.... once.




Max's Birthday

We missed his birth, his first and second birthdays and finally made it to number THREE!! It was fun to watch this little wild man run crazy and have fun on his day. He has NO fear and more energy than anyone I know. I love this boy so much, and was so happy to be there for the announcement of his being a big brother next fall. What a great day:)











Sister Time

My sister has an awesome husband. He bought she and I spa passes for some sister time. It was AMAZING! I will never forget relaxing in our tubs with cucumbers on our eyes, and throwing lemons in each others water. Good times. Obviously the whole thing was fun and relaxing, loved the soak, the 90 minute massage and steam room but more than anything loved that experience with my sis!!

Feeding Ducks

It has kind of become tradition to go with Grams and Gramps to have lunch and feed the ducks at Salem Pond. The weather finally warmed up a bit for us to make that happen again this trip.
The ducks are a bit daring and come right up to you which the girls loved, almost as much as their happy meals and playing with Gramps.
