More Cousins!!

Okay so here are some more picture of our fabulous time with our cousins (I don't have anything to blog about!)
These include pictures of my and Becca... I think the only one's it doesnt include our Mom and Aunt Amy- they were a little camera shy.

Oh hOw wE loVe Our CouSinS!

Some of our favorite people, are our cousins,Eli, Becca, and Olivia (and Aunt Amy :) They had there spring break about week ago and so they paid us a visit. It was a lot of fun and lots of... exciting things happened. The little three girls got along very well and loved playing in the backyard-building forts, swinging and making grass and mud pies (til the audults found out.) The older kids played lots of yard soccer. Luke almost peeled off one of tonenails (after that we played soccer with our shoes on.) The girls had a tea party the boys did lots of boyish things... The moms talked and talked. It was an over all fun thing, and we can't wait til they move closer!!
P.S. For some reason no pictures were taken of me and Becca, but we enjoyed the fun too, just avoided the cameras.

Our Doggy :)

One thing that I am really grateful in my life is our dog, Jack. He is a labradoodle, a lab and standard poodle mix, and I think he got the good qualities from both breeds. He is big and hairy enough to look scary (he's our guard dog) but he really loves kids. It makes you feel important when you see him waiting for you when you get off the bus :) Just one of the many little things our family is grateful for.
P.S. the one picture of Jack- that looks like he is standing on something, he is standing on our privacy fence, He's just scoping out what's going on...

Easter Time!

For Easter weekend we went down to Dad's parents (like always) and had a pretty awsome time. We got up really early Saturday morning, like 5:30 early, and went. I thought it went really well because we got to grandma's just in time to eat a delicious breakfast and then have the rest of the day to have fun (and watch conference, which was really good!) Easter Sunday was beaufiful and the family reunion that afternoon was lots of fun. Easter always leaves you with a good feeling- Hope.

Spring is HERE!!

Previously we had some rather hideous bushes in front of our house-this spring Mom and Lily decided to change that. We dug up the bushes, and Lily planted a very pretty flower garden. She planted some daffodil bulbs- which weren't supposed to come up this year, came up within the next month of being planted. Personally they're my favorite because they are all bright and different from each other. The others are pretty too...

THE CIRCUS HAS COME TO TOWN!

The weather in Auburn has turned absolutly beautiful, and it is now enjoyable to just sit outside(contrary to a couple weeks ago). The one downside is the pollen, which seems to be everywhere. For family home evening, while the parents were remodeling the bathroom, most of the kids put together a circus (or a bunch of awsome acts :) Clari made a sign and everything- some of the "performers" even had makeup (much to the delight of some particular little girls) Here are a list of the acts:
Mollie danced and was acrobat, Clari hula-hooped and was our stilt walker, Luke skated(he is really good!) Lily ripsticked(way to hard for me to do), Emma was the announcer as well as skated and had the crazy makeup, and I was the camera chick. We invited some of the neighbors, had popcorn and had a great time. Can't wait til next time...
