We were so excited to welcome home Elder Mendenhall from the Albuquerque, New Mexico Mission. Blake has set a great example of service and I'm so grateful to have so much family in my life and the life of our boys to influence their lives for good!! Well done Blake!!! He ended up getting in way to late for us to bring the boys and we had Aunt Trish at home to stay with them which was great!! First stop: IN-N-OUT Blake was the one to introduce me to animal style fries at in-n-out. One of the greatest things ever, french fries with melted cheese, fry sauce and grilled onions on top!! YUM YUM!!!

Every year Kim Halladay puts on an easter egg hunt for friends at her in-laws house. They have the most beautiful yard! So every child participating brings 12 filled eggs and they can then find 12 eggs. It is a lot of fun the kids love it every year!

Our ward was doing this friendship dinner and they needed people to sign up to be a hostess at a table. I signed up that if they needed me I would do it. So anyway they needed me...as a hostess you pick a theme and decorate your table according to the theme. My good friend Kim was doing a BYU table so I thought it would be fun to have a UofU table. There was some issues early on but it all worked out and ended up being a really fun evening! Thanks to Trish my table was awesome!! She got some stuff for me at the U and brought it down with her from Utah. Then we went around to a few stores and she ended up getting cute plates, cups and place mats, among other things. She is graduating from the U in May so congrats Trishy and thanks a ton!!! Our Utah table!!! The Rivals!

My cousin Marshall is getting married and so we went to his beautiful fiance's bridal shower. I always love seeing Amanda and getting together with the girls! One of the games we played which was really cute was they put a sticky label on everyone's back with a different famous couple and you had to ask people yes and no questions and try and guess who it is. They had cute ones like Mickey and Minnine Mouse, Miss Piggy and Kermit and then also people like Brad Pitt and Angeloina Jolie. Another game was they had this sheet of items and certain items were worth different point values. They put us in groups of three and then you have to go through your purses and see how many of the items you have. So Vanessa, Amanda and I were a team and we totally won with the three of our purses it was awesome!! So fun!!

We were so excited to spend a day with Hattie and Camille. Their Grandma and Grandpa drove them down from Utah for a few days and they dropped them off with us for a night. Aunt Trishy was in town so it was extra fun!! We played, went to the park and when we took them down to Huntington we went to Chuck E Cheese and they were in heaven!! The boys have so much fun with their girl cousins they are always around a bunch of boys so it's fun when the girls come in town!!

He loves doing whatever Lincoln is doing. So this is his first person, that same day he also drew race cars and a jelly fish which were so cute!! He said it's a mad face!

To much fun and excitement for this little man! Grandma was here for about a week and now he's a big 3 year old! While he was watching Lincoln play hotwheels on the computer he just slipped into a deep sleep!!

We decided to have Rocky's birthday party at the bowling alley. The boys have been asking to go bowling so we decided to make an event of it. We invites some friends and family and it was really a lot of fun a little crazy but fun!! We then went over to Maria's deli for dinner. Rocky had a great birthday, thanks to all for being a part of it!! Grandma came into town for Rocky's birthday and brought a big present. So the morning of his birthday he got to open it. I think Lincoln might be more excited about it than Rocky. It was almost as big as him!! He opened it up and it was a batman cave, with Batman, Robin and a motorcycle!! They both loved it!! He also got a zui zui hampster from Lincoln and a race car. He got the hampster house and wheel from Grammy and Grampy, scooby doo toys and gymnastics class from Nana and Papa, a scobby doo movie and a nerf gun from the Halladay's, a monster truck from Ashton and Sierra, a disney book and bubbles from little Blake and Jordan,...
