Bacon

In this house we love our bacon.  We don't have it often but for breakfast this morning it was an extra nice treat.  

Royal Wedding

We didn't wake up at 3:00 am to watch the actual wedding but there were plenty of highlights.  I loved the whole thing and though Catherine's Dress was perfect for the day.  What a day in history!

King's Speech

We finally watched this movie.  I loved it!  What a great job the actors did and it was such an interesting story.  I hope to share this with the kids when they are older.

Lazy Day

Today we just hung out at home in our PJ's all day.  It was so nice and we all had a very relaxing day:)

Wish they could talk...

Today we were playing and the twins ended up like this.  I wish I knew what was going through both of their cute heads.

I thought the toys were for the babies...

Tonight I was working on the computer and looked over and found this.  Thank goodness he is a kid at heart because that makes this man an awesome dad!!!

Happy Easter!

When friends come to town.

I am so glad Sherri F. made the trip to UT to pick-up Calvin from BYU.  What a nice visit and I just couldn't get enough!  Please come back soon!

Easter Bunny came early

Thanks Easter Bunny for our new backpacks!  I can't wait till it stops snowing so we can try our new toys out!

I am all boy

This cutie loves anything that rolls, or makes noise.  If he can bang on it or throw it he will.  

We like to make a mess!

Sometimes I try and pick up the toys as we go along today wasn't one of those days.  I don't have any idea how two little people can take every toy out and still be so busy doing other things but we have a ton of fun while doing it.  

New Toys

Today we headed out for some shopping and it was so fun.  We also picked up some soccer balls.  Pink for Emma and Yellow for Tyler.  They love them - can you tell?

Happy 5th Birthday Jace and Drex!

Shani's twins turn 5 tomorrow and we thought it would be fun to do something different so we headed to Thanksgiving Point for a look at the Dinosaur Museum.  I had no idea that UT has the largest dinosaur museum in the country.  Drex and Jace were totally into it and Emma and Tyler liked the change of scenery.

Onesie for Church

At the live auction I won these cute outfits for the twins.  How cute is this a Onesie with a tie.  It was so much easier getting Tyler ready for church today:)

Frozen Custard a must

After a crazy week Bruce and I had our date night and this is where we ended up.  Drive through Nielsens Frozen Custard and then home to relax.  I love Drive-Through windows!!!

A night of Jazz

The youth just finished their fundraiser for camp and we had a great time.  There was a dinner, silent auction and then a live auction.  The youth were amazing and it was such a fun night!

It can always be harder

So this isn't my photo but since photo-a-day has become a journal I needed to add this in.  I got a text message from my dear friend, Shani and she told be Rian's store was burned down.  I couldn't believe it. Thankfully no one was hurt but when things are hard this is a good reminder that it can always always be harder.  Prayers for the family!!!

Payback dinner YM to YW

The young men did a great job with the payback dinner. So nice to show up and just enjoy!!!

On a walk

It feels like Spring has been hit and miss however when it is nice out we like to take a family walk:)

Sippy Cups

The twins have been practicing drinking out of sippy cups.  Emma is a little better then Tyler but they both mostly like to play with them.  I know they will get better and it is so fun to see them learning new skills!

Downward Dog with Headstand

Tyler has been doing this lately and I am not sure why he puts his head on the floor but it looks like he is going to go right over.  Maybe it helps with balance...

Ballet

Tonight I had a girls night out!  Tara and I headed to the ballet and we had so much fun.  I really enjoyed Bolero and hope the company does it again soon.

Sunglasses

I found these cute sunglasses for the twins and they loved wearing them.  Funny enough it was dumping snow but inside we are using the power of positive thinking:)

Pampering

After 6 months of living in UT, I finally got to go and get myself to some treatments.  I so need to do this more often!!!

Signs of Spring

Today while I was out I saw this beauty in the ground and got so excited.  The funny thing is the day after this pic we had a snow storm that gave us another 1 foot of snow.  Spring where are you and please come and make yourself at home!!!

Peek-a-Boo

While Emma was in her bouncer tonight I gave her a lovey that she usually chews on.  However, tonight she did the cutest thing and played peek-a-boo.  I would say where is Emma and would get this....

 and then two seconds later she would appear and smiles all over.  

We played for quite sometime and even Tyler got in on the laughter!!!  What a great age and a fun night:)

Bath time fun... finally!!!!

Bath time has been a constant struggle with tears and frustration.  Now at last the twins love the bath!  Yay!!!!  Maybe they will like the pool too:)

Sunday morning General Conference

So it is April General Conference and we woke up to this.  I was sad to see so much snow on the ground thankfully our plans were to stay in anyhow but I am SOOO ready for spring!!!

 Of course I had to make my usual bfast fruit platter.  I love doing this and it is so nice to share.  I am getting better at making it full of fruit that both Bruce and I eat.  This one was mainly berries (Bruce's favorite)

And what is a feast without homemade cinnamon rolls.  Thanks Sherri M. for the yummy recipe I think of you every time I make these!

Katy and Mari visit

Tonight during the Priesthood session of General Conference Katy and Mari came over for a visit.  It was so nice and we had a great time.  Suzanne invited us upstairs for strawberries and waffles.  I think I could get use to the extra help and yummy food.  Thanks for coming over and thanks Suz for the yummy dinner!!!

Wet Dog

Today during lunch Emma lost most of it and Oliver was standing underneath the highchairs.  Needless to say I got a bath, Emma got a bath, the high chair was washed and Oliver got a bath.  It was quite the clean-up process.
