New York, New York

I leave tomorrow morning and I can't wait!!  I'm meeting 10 of my girlfriends from my freshman year at BYU for some fun in the city!!  We're all turning 30 this year, so we thought what a better way to celebrate!!  I should be packing, but of course I'm stalling and finding anything to do instead of packing. . . organizing bills, going through my old receipts, cleaning, blogging, you know, the NORMAL!!

I leave tomorrow morning EARLY, I better get going!

Easter 2008

We had a great Easter celebrating at our house and then with Doug's parents.  

Jaden loved coloring Easter eggs!

He had a hard time finding his hidden basket, but once it was found he was excited for his yummy treats!

His favorite was his new skateboard.  I know, the Easter Bunny is a little crazy giving a 2 1/2 year old a skateboard, but he LOVES it!  He sleeps with it EVERY night!

Mom and her Boy!

He looked soooo handsome in his tie.  He wanted to be just like Dad!

Grandma and Grandpa

His 3rd set of golf clubs- he has either broken all the others or turned them into guns.  He has to sleep with one of those too.

From the Chapped Lips to the 80's Mamas

Yeah, I'm in another "band", but don't worry, I'll save you the actual performance.  Before we left for Calgary, our ward had an 80's Party and I was in an Air Band with 6 other 80's Mamas and 1 80's Papa. 

Aren't we a HOT family!  Doug and Jaden went 80's Preppy with pegged pants, polos, sweaters, and loafers with no socks- too funny! 

The 80's Mamas!!  Oh don't worry, 3 of us are pregnant- pretty HOT!

We did take 1st Place- we were up against 2 other bands, so it was close :)

Back in the States

We're home!! We had such a whirlwind adventure to say the least! We literally decided to drive to Calgary at 6PM and it was the BEST decision we could have made! It was soooooo worth all the driving to be with Dave, Lisa, Audrey, and Carter! Memories, memories, memories!!!  

We love you guys more than anything!!

Dave and Lisa spoiled us and took us to a very yummy dinner at The Keg, minus the kiddos!!

Once again, Captain Underpants!

Silly Faces!!

The boys all took the C-Train to go to the Auto Show Downtown

We were lucky enough to go to Audrey's Breakfast Birthday Bash! Lisa did the most amazing job and I thought it was such a clever idea! All the kids came dressed in their PJs with their stuffed animal. They had sugar cereal- Audrey's favorite, pancakes, donuts, chocolate milk, etc. After breakfast they played Pin the Food on the Breakfast Plate- soooo cute!

Then they all decorated pillow cases...

and topped things off with a Rice Krispy Cake- YUM!!

After the party we drove to British Columbia to go stay at Dave's parents "cabin". 

The kids had a great time golfing around all the elk droppings!

The next day Lisa and I took the kids for an adventure, while the guys went skiing!!  Lisa was a little nervous for what I had planned.  We drove down to the lake and saw everyone ice fishing, so we decided to make our way onto the frozen lake.

I mean, if quads could be on the lake, 2 pregnant Moms and kiddos could do it too!!

Audrey fishing with her stick and Lisa still a little nervous, especially with Jaden that close to a hole!

When the guys came home we headed for the Fremont Hot Springs!  They were much needed for sore legs and pregnant bellies!  Don't worry, no babies got cooked!

Unbelievable back drop!

Doug, I love you so much!  Thanks for being such an adventurer!  We are made for each other!

Maybe we. . .

Left at 8:30 Monday night and drove to Canada (17 hours) to see Dave, Lisa, Audrey, and Carter!! Doug starts a new job next week and we thought, "Why not!!".  Here's to another adventure!
