Birthday & Mother's Day

So I turned 32 this year. Where does the time go? Besides my crippling back problems I feel like I could still be 20!
I was super spoiled the weekend of my birthday/mother's day.
I have the greatest family & friends who know that the way to my heart is through my stomach and they brought me diet coke, pie, brownies, 7 layer bars, cupcakes, cake, cookies, & a caramel apple and you can bet that I ate all of it!
John took me to Park City to shop and to Cheesecake Factory to eat and that night after the kids were in bed he went and got me movie theater popcorn and we watched a movie. I relaxed all weekend while John took care of everything and on Sunday he made dinner and got the kids ready for church and best of all he took care of Annie, which is a huge job!
I feel so blessed when celebrating Mother's Day that I have the greatest Mothers ever! I have the greatest friends that are wonderful example of mothers and I'm so grateful to them.

Easter 2011

Beach Trip

It was so fun while we were in California to spend time with Marcie and Brackon. We went to the beach on one of the days we were there and the kids had a blast. It was a little cold and windy but that didn't stop the kids from swimming in their clothes! We ended up at Walmart a little later to buy the kids dry clothes so we could go out to dinner, we made some fun memories!

Disneyland Trip

So our trip to see this guy came and went:

Now that we're home I feel really bad I don't have any pictures capturing the joy that we all felt being there. There is nothing like passing through the gates and being on Main Street and seeing the Sleeping Beauty Castle.
Things were a little different than we expected on this trip. First of all I ended up being really sick and I could hardly move so John had to take the kids one of the days without me. My worst nightmare ever!
Second of all we didn't take Annie; thank you to both Grandmas for that! Sadly we enjoyed the car ride and the ease of everything without her. I just didn't want to take a bunch of pictures of us all without her being there.
And really, we just enjoyed all the time we had running from here to there and didn't worry one bit about pulling out the camera for a pose from everyone.
So here is what you missed in pictures:
We got to be with our cousins, which made the trip so much more fun. Memories we'll never forget for sure! We ate the best corndogs on the planet. The kids swam in the hotel pool. Our hotel room was decorated in full on Disney Princess, it was awesome. We waited in lines, enjoyed the sunshine, and soaked up every minute of happiness we could.
