Easter!

A little late getting these posted, but better late than never.This is my all time favorite dress ever! I fell in love with it instantly, then couldn't pay what they were asking, went back 2 weeks later and wala 40% off, done!


New Easter clothes. During the breaks in conference we got our garden out back all planted, yeah!
Easter morning.
Saturday's easter egg hunt with the neighborhood. This was my Easter basket when I was growing up.


A good day to really love your brother.


A man on the move for some eggs.

Wait until she finds out there is candy inside.


This is just a random picture of Cali from the other day. Finally a bit of hair to do something with.

Dad Turns 60!

My dad turns 60! Cali and I flew into Salt Lake a few weeks ago to pull off a surprise birthday bash for my dad.

Stacy always the queen of making the best cakes.
And, SURPRISE...


I made my dad a video with all the pictures throughout his life. After we watch it, we all go up and shared something we love about my dad. It was hard to choose just one thing. It was a happy moment to be able to celebrate such an amazing man! I love you Dad!


Thanks to grandma for letting us have it at her house.

Stacy flew in from Spokane, so all of his kids were there. I mean really where else would we be on his big 60.

Dad and aunt Chris.
I'm not sure why Kelsey is getting such a big hug for her gift. If you can call writing on the napkin from your dinner "good for a date night." Hmmm, tons of thought went into that Kels. There may be a date night, but odds are Dad is still paying. j/k Kels, if I don't tease you who will.



A couple of little beggars after my ice cream and cake.
Come out baby Addison.
Candice this will be you again in a year, but both girls will be yours... so lucky.


What little angels. Grandma Carter bought them these adorable matching dresses. Both girls were sitting by me in church, a lady turned around and asked if they were both mine, I lied and said "yes."

Add little Hayden to the mix and a few cute kids.



Three generations of girls.


Hot tubbing it in the basement.

I love the player piano, I want one soooo bad, pumping pedals and all.

My mom collects antique baby buggies, they are all over the house. I have to keep a close eye on Cali as she wants to push them or throw out the porcelain dolls and get in.

Talking to dad the night before we go home. Such a fun trip. Thanks again to all my fabulous friends who helped me out with the boys after school.

Tyler to Tucson

Just for you Tyler... sorry it took a few weeks. Tyler came in from Iowa to spend time with his favorite family. Todd and Tyler hit the golf course for some Tucson style golfing. Then I met up with them at Sauce then Frost...very yummy. I did manage to get pizza sauce all over my white shorts...very attractive.


I told Tyler, this is not the time of year I let my kids walk the desert. He asked why, and I told him that the rattle snakes are coming back out. He said, "good, because I would really like to see one." I'm not sure whether that's brave or just plain stupid!


Life doesn't get much better than this.


About 2 months ago, Tyler signed up for a competition at his gym. There was a pot of $1700. The person with the most drastic before and after picture would win. Tyler said if he won, he would come to Tucson...Welcome to Tucson. Congrats Tyler. Tyler paid me big bucks to post this picture...!


One of my favorite things about Tyler is how much he loves Todd and my kids!

Lots of baseball throughout the week.

I was in charge of a ward activity at the park. One of the games that was played was ultimate Frisbee.


Catalina State Park.



This is my new favorite picture of my girl!


A visit to Tucson wouldn't be complete without smores.
