Busy...

That's what we have been.

Here are a few pics along the way!

March 9, 2009 - KADEN 3yr BIRTHDAY!
We took Kaden (and Nick) to the Wildlife World Zoo, he loved it.
One thing we loved about this zoo is how close you can get to all the animals.


This little guy almost took Marks finger off.

Kadens favorite part was feeding the goats and deer.

Cousins came over to celebrate that night. Taco Salad with funfetti cake and ice cream followed.

Nick was blessed by his daddy. The spirit was present and strong, family was abundant, it was beautiful.

We had a brunch at Matt and Candees after. Crepes, fresh fruit, bacon and sausage were there to delight out taste buds. Family was there to delight our spirits and souls.

April 20, 2009
We are off to UT.
4/23/09 - Karl and Jessica Graduated from BYU!!!

We are so proud of you 2!

This is me and my boys at graduation in the Marriott Center.
Mark and I celebrated our 5yr anniversary on the 23rd as well.
And my 28th. B-day. We Celebrated with dinner at Texas Road House with Karl and Jess and their kids, and Jessica's Mom, and Marks' Parents. They treated us to our yummy steak dinner. Then Mark and I (and Nick) got a little crazy and snuck onto the golf coarse for a short walk and snuggling on the green. I felt like a teenager again doing something we are really not suppose to do. Good thing we didn't get caught. FUN!!

We finally came home on the 27th, and then went back up to Monticello, UT. for Josie's Baptism. We are so proud of you Josie to make this very important decision. Thank you for setting such a good example for your younger cousins.We had lots of fun.
Here are some pics of the kids. Shanna and I let them climb on the rocks while we waited for help to fix the flat tire on the suburban. Turned out to be a lot of fun.




Mark and I stayed another week because Mark was doing some work on my sisters house. So,now that I am home and just getting back into the swing of things. We'll leave again in a week. We are so lucky!!

Life is good!



This is how we feel around here!!
