Easter 2009

Luckily, the weather was nice when we woke up Easter Morning! The Easter Bunny surprised us this year with a fun scavenger hunt for the boys to find their baskets! They had fun collecting all the eggs outside---there is still one missing though. I'm sure we'll smell it soon! A busy time with school egg parades, egg hunts, egg coloring, egg finding, and lastly, egg eating! Happy Easter!!

Las Vegas Get-away

We got out of the snow and winter like weather we'd been having here in Utah and headed to Las Vegas last weekend. My mom and step-dad just moved back there from St. George, so we got to see there new house. We stayed at a new hotel, The Aliante, which is right by them. My sisters family also went down, so we were able to spend some time with them as well. The weather was gorgeous! We were able to relax by the pool and have some margarita's (pretending we were still in Mexico:)). The boys had such a great time splashing around, and Kensley is already like one of the girls, and layed by the pool on a covered couch all day! Scott and I were also able to go see our two favorite singers in concert, Jeremy Camp and Mercy Me, which was so much fun! It was hard to leave summer and come back to winter though. I'm hoping that Spring is just around the corner!

Kensley's Ear's Pierced

I always told myself that when/if I ever had a little girl, I would get her ears pierced when she was a baby. Partly because I had to wait until I was ten, but also because I always thought it was so adorable when I would see little babies with earrings. Well, when she turned 5 months, I thought, what better time?! So I dragged, literally, Scott and the boys with me to the mall to get them done. Scott didn't understand why I was so obsessed and determined to get them done (in hindsight, I should have gone without him, but then who would have taken the pictures??), and the boys were there because I bribed them with a merry-go-round ride. Well, she screamed, obviously, like I've never heard her scream before! I thought Scott was either going to throw-up or pass out! I immediately regretted my decision...initially. But after a few minutes (okay, more like 30 minutes), she forgot what had happened! And, she looks so girly with her diamond studs and matching bracelet! Girls are so much fun!!!
