Liv's May Dance Recital

I love to watch Liv dance! She is such a shy little one, but when she's dancing she comes out of her shell and shines! This time she got to dance to two princess songs. Her ballet coming from Snow White and they tap danced to a song from The Princess and the Frog! We're thinking of trying hula dance next... that could be awesome! But I think my princess will always come back to being a ballerina!

Todd's Graduation

Exciting things happened last weekend! The big one for us was Todd's graduation from Southern Utah University! After three years of hard work he earned his BS in Business Management. We are grateful to our family that traveled to celebrate this event with us. So many people helped us achieve this goal, thank you so much! Todd now thinks this means he's smarter than me, and says he has the paper to prove it, but we all know the truth ;) I'm very proud of you honey! You are such an incredible man and this choice to go back to school is one we'll never regret! Keep your goals high!

Easter 2011

Happy Easter everyone! It's a day late, but that's okay! I was pretty bummed this Easter weekend that we didn't get our kids together with their cousins. I love having an egg hunt with the cousins... watching all the friends run around together is so fun! But it just didn't work out this year... that's what happens sometimes. It ended up great though! Todd cooked a wonderful meal for us, his parents, and his sister, Karlie, and her boyfriend, Kye. So we were able to be with family and then have an egg hunt for the kids. The day was absolutely gorgeous... that is, until we decided to have the hunt! Then it started to rain! Bah! But we decided to go for it anyways... we laughed the whole time and it ended up being more of a "Race to find the eggs as fast as possible!" Instead of just an egg hunt! It was a good time! But we didn't forget the main reason for Easter... we talked often about our Savior atoning for our sins, dieing, and then being resurrected so that we may all live again and be with our loved ones! How grateful I am to Christ for making this ultimate sacrifice so that my family can be together forever and that I may be forgiven of my sins. The feeling is more than the human language can define!

Powdered Stripes

I was able to finish a couple of crochet projects before Suzy came and life got centered on baby! This is one of them, made for baby Noah... my newest nephew! It's a fun year for our family, there will be three new additions by the end of the year. Baby Noah was born in February, baby Suzy came two and a half weeks ago, and another baby boy is coming in June! Very exciting.. which reminds me, I need to get going on another one!

Suzy is Two Weeks

It's been two weeks since little Suzy joined out family, it's hard to believe! Mostly it's just been a blur... but I've spent most the time just staring at her, so I'm a happy momma! She's been trying to stay awake longer from time to time, but she doesn't really know what to do when she is wide-eyed. So she just acts hungry more often, go figure. My favorite thing is that she loves to hold onto things, which usually means loved ones fingers... mostly mine ;) It's especially cute when she's nursing and holding her own hands together over her chest! She's precious!

Liv's First Loss

Today my big girl lost her first tooth! It's hard for me to believe that this has finally happened, but it has. I'm so proud of her, growing up so well. I don't really understand how, cause she's a very picky eater (maybe she survives on air), but she does. And here's proof, one lost, sparkling white, shiny tooth left in a little tooth pillow I made for her... waiting for the Tooth Fairy to make her claim! I'm very excited to see her reaction in the morning! What a big day it's been for her!
