May in Canada





I was just looking at my cousins blog who lives in Taylorsville and I saw her beautiful flowers and yard and it made me long for Utah. This is what my yard looked like just three days ago. We woke up to this!!! Our nephew who just moved here from Utah too said that it felt like he hibernated through summer and woke up to winter!!!

I love this!

One of Tim's friends had this on his facebook page and I love it. Jon Schmidt is amazing. Take a listen.

Good Times

Brynley's favorite thing to do now is to get the camera tri-pod and set it up in front of everyone and say CHEESE!!

This is us girls one Sunday before naptime- it really shows on Bryn's face.

It's finally getting warmer here. Really not warm enough for shorts yet-- but try to tell the kids that. We had a jump war to see who could jump from bum to knee's to back the longest. The next few pictures are of each of us.


For Tim we played crack the egg. We all laughed and had such a fun time!!














This last picture is of our bon fire to burn all the garbage that the last owners left. Tim loved it!! It took all day--plus a few more-- for it to burn all the way out.
We are really enjoying it here. We have our ups and downs but overall we are so HAPPY!

Baby Steals Contest

I go to www.babysteals.com everyday to see what they are selling!! I have a 20 month old daughter and want one of everything for her! I love Baby Steals but one of the worst things happened. I was going to buy a pair of Robeez shoes and by the time I got on and tried to get her size they were all sold out! I guess if you snooze you loose!
You should go and see all the fun stuff they have. It's pretty cool.

Easter



We had such a fun Easter. Auntie Sherry bought and then I helped her make these cute dresses for the girls for Easter.



We had a yummy Easter dinner with Ron, Sherry, Nate, Kathy, Derek, Kristy, Jimmy(an investigator), the missionaries and all of us. We had ham, scalloped potatoes and veggies. We also had the Petersons famous homemade rootbeer and Tim's favorite rasperry lemonade. For dessert we had strawberry shortcake and blackforest cake. It was all so good.


After dinner we went to Auntie Sherry's house for an Easter Egg Hunt. All of the kids got way too much candy, but had a blast.

















There was a special area that only Bryn and Sandy could get eggs. They were so cute just picking up the candy and eggs. Sandy picked up about 3 and was done because she wanted to just eat the candy. Brynley on the other hand just kept picking up more and more eggs. She had so much fun lugging around her basket and finding eggs.





After the egg hunt we watched The Testiment. We had a great Easter and just wanted to share some of our day with you.

Family Home Evening

Why is it that I start out every post with a picture of Bradley??


We played an awesome game of hockey. We went over to Uncle Ron's pond, got out the puck and sticks and had a blast.




Kinsey and Brynley went onto the ice once, both fell down and then decided to go swing and slide instead. They are such cute girls.






Brad and Ethan were a great team together. Bradley wouldn't keep his coat on even though he was just getting over a cold.



Ethan was our only casualty of the game. He fell down and was still trying to take the puck away from Ty when SMACK-- he got hit in the cheek by Ty's stick.


Can you see my awesome goalie skills!! I'm pretty sure I was the best player out there.



We have been able to have a lot more family time. Living out on an acreage the kids don't have friends to play with after school that are close. We have enjoyed it a lot and hope you enjoy watching the kids grow up.
