Annie




What can I say? Our family loves the theatre. Courtney and I had a great time seeing Annie in theatre. If Courtney wasn't so shy I think she would be a great little actress and singer. I hear her singing all of the time at home. We had a great time and we both love the movie, so it was even better live on stage!

Spring Break this year was a blast. Dad had to work so it was me off to CA all by myself to see my BFF. The morning I got up to leave there was a crazy huge snowstorm. I decided to brave the weather. It took me 2 hours to make it past Provo. The roads were slick and covered with snow and ice. It took me 15 hours to get there but when I did it was sure worth the wait!! The weather in San Diego was beautiful. Between Ashley, Sarah and I we had 8 kids for the week! We packed a lot in. We had a beach day, pool day, park day and had fun at the firepit and also managed to get several great workouts in. It was crazy trying to manage all these kids...........but we did and they had a blast! I think I will be trying it again next year.





































































Fancy Nancy




Courtney had to dress up as her favorite book character for school. Well, I don't know if Fancy Nancy is necessarily HER favorite, but she sure is mine!



Baby Braxton










There's nothing sweeter than a newborn baby. I'm so glad to be past the point of my own newborn babies, and rejoicing in holding the newest nieces or nephews of my siblings or friends now. I think newborns are my most favorite age. They are seriously straight from heaven and so perfect in every way. I love their tiny hands and feet and fingernails. And they smell so sweet. Congrats to Jesse and Mindie on their perfect baby boy, Braxton. I hope I get to babysit!
