Family Pics 2010

We went and took family pictures the other day, it was fun but cold! We got some pretty cute ones, and it was fun to see their personalities come out!

Kylee is getting Baptised!

I can't believe my baby is almost 8! We went and took a few pictures in her baptism dress and are working on an announcement. She is getting baptized Sept. 4 for anyone who is interested in coming! She is so very excited and has even convinced her daddy to practice with her a few times!

Easter!

We colored eggs and the kids had a lot of fun, Ben even got into it! Tianna's favorite part was putting on stickers!

A few of our best ones

We had a really fun Easter! The kids were very excited to see what the Easter Bunny brought and also a couple extra prizes from me and Ben!


The Easter Bunny was tricky this year, he hid all of their baskets so they had to find them!

We had these for our breakfast as well as a breakfast casserole and peaches. They are called Easter rolls because they are empty inside like Jesus' tomb. To make them you just use your favorite bread recipe, then after they have risen the first time you take some dough and wrap it around a marshmallow. You then roll it in butter and then cinnamon and sugar. You then cook them at 350 for about 20 mins. They are really fun and I love to see the surprise on everyone's face when they see that they are empty inside! Plus they are quite yummy! We get to go to Grandma Carroll's later for an egg hunt so perhaps I'll put some pics on of that later. Have a Happy Easter!

My Cute Bugga Boo

I figure while I'm at it, I'd tell a cute story about my precious Braxton. He is becoming a cute little monkey and in to everything! The other day he was being too quiet (every mother knows this is a bad sign) so I went to find him. By the time I got to him, he had figured out that he was in trouble and needed help! He began whining, and then I knew why, he had climbed into the drawers under my drier and couldn't get back out! So being the mean mother that I am, instead of rushing to his aid, I rushed to find my camera!This has since become one of his favorite playing areas, I have put a few things in the drawers for the kids like art stuff and play doh so he thinks it is a great place to be!


He also loves balls and loves to follow them around the house, I can already see his little personality. He is so adorable and I love having him in my life!

Happy Love Day

So apparently I only post about holidays, so here's another! We had fun on Valentine's Day, It was kind of fun that it was on a Sunday so we all got to stay home most of the day.

I was supposed to have a meeting in the morning so I wasn't able to make our usual pink heart pancakes. Kylee was a little bummed, but I think they enjoyed the donuts anyway. I surprised the kids with the balloons in the morning, Braxton's eyes were huge with excitement! He played with his forever and carried it wherever he went! So cute!


We went to church, and then came home and relaxed. Then I made a special dinner for everyone, complete with home made fortune cookies with my own sayings inside. I think the kids really enjoyed it and it was fun celebrating it with them!

Ben and I didn't do anything fantastic to celebrate because we were leaving the next weekend for St. George, but Ben was such a sweetie and made me a cute letter with candy hearts that made me teary. Man I love him, he is so good to me and our family, I am so lucky to have him in my life and am so thankful for him. I have the best family ever, and even though lots of people hate Valentine's Day because it is just another commercial holiday, I love it because it helps remind me to tell those in my life how special they are to me. I hope I can remember more often this year, even when it's not a holiday! I hope you all had a great time too!

Cutest Twins Ever!

I got to take a few pics of my new nieces after their blessing! They had the cutest outfits ever and are such adorable babies! It took me a little longer to edit them than I had hoped, but here are my favorite pics!
Thanks Dave and Danielle for letting me have fun taking pics of your gorgeous babes!

They also had these adorable butterfly outfits, so fun!
