General Conference

I LOVE general conference weekend.  It is filled with spiritual food, family, really good food, and PJ's.  

During conference I braided Ruth's hair.

She thought it would be fun to put a bow on each braid.

Silly girl

She drew this for me.  My favorite sign of spring is chalk drawings.  I haven't had much yet, but I am planning on having lots more!

While Ruth and I were away...

Colin took the kids to Baby Animal Days in Logan. 

Room service

He said it was so fun, you could hold a lot of the animals.

This unicorn is actually Rose.  This is what the girls have to endure while I'm gone...no one to do their hair!

Crazy girl

Colin also took these three to the Jazz game.  Oh what fun they had.

Ruby and Reese's peanut butter cups

I don't know why I think it is so cute that she loves Reese's, but I do!  A trip tot he store resulted in Reese's and a hula hoop.

Electric Bike

We live on a hill so bike riding is not so great.  Colin surprised me with this beauty and it is changing my life!!  I love it...

NYC for Spring Break!

We went to NYC with Ruth and my mom, and Kate!

ABC kitchen!  YUM!

Rockefeller

Subway to Hoboken

The yummiest bakery

I don't normally like cream filled things, but this lobster tail is the most AMAZING thing I have ever eaten!

Buddy

Ruth saved up her money to go on a spree at the American Girl store.

FAO

Same dog 2013--boy how time flies!

She got a bit silly after eating candy for Dillan's candy bar

Max Brenner

She insisted on buying yarn in Soho.  Just like her Nana.

The cute waiter brought her a treat at dinner one night!  Rare to see kids in nice restaurants in NYC.

Times Square

I took her to see Phantom.  She loved it.  (so did the man in the background)

Serendipity

Frozen Hot Chocolate

We went to see the Lion King too!

I love these two ladies with all my heart!  They are great women that bless my life and my children's life too.

Headed home:(

New Hairdo

We saw this on Ruth's friend the other day and had to try it.

Kind of neat!

New Piano

We got a new piano and Rose broke is in for us by playing NUDE!

A Bad Case of the Stripes...

Ruth dressed up like Camilla Cream for her book character day at school.

I think we were very successful!

Easter 2013

These are my favorite pictures every year!  I love to track the growth and change that my family experiences.

Hank, Jack, Ruth, Rose, and Ruby

Family, minus Rose who is sleeping:)

My Handsome 007 men!

Beauties

The LOOT!

We colored eggs this year. I usually shun the activity, but felt it was a necessary evil for all my kids to experience.  Sorry to be a downer.

We had several hunts this year.  Grandma's and Nana's were a big hit!

Rose was so cute and serious about this.
