Growing up, Easter was always one of my favorite times. We all got new dresses and BeBe sponsered the most amazing Easter Egg Hunt EVER! She would not only stuff Leggs pantyhose plastic eggs with candy-- but I remember finding $10 bills, eggs full of quarters, and fun little trinkets and toys. I sure miss her- she would have loved seeing the girls in their floral dresses :)
Nate, Travis, and all the girls in the teacup. Lilly was adamant about riding in a teacup.

Duck begging Lilly for some food
L to R: Savannah James (Snow White), Lilly (Cinderella), and Abigail James (Alice in Wonderland) They all looked like the characters they were dressed up as and people were stopping us to have their pictures taken with them. Show Stoppers- that's for sure.
Meeting Minnie Mouse
On the Alice in Wonderland ride- it was sooo cute!
Disneyland was a blast. That night we stayed in a hotel and explored the L.A. Zoo the next day. We are so thankful for our good friends - the James'. It isn't easy to find couples that jive so well. This week we were able to spend time with two couples we love and so appreciate! Thanks to both of you.
We stopped in St. George on our way to California to spend some time with our friends- the Brummers. Nate and Jeff golfed at some awesome courses and Lyndsay and I shopped the outlets. The sunshine and new faces were exactly what we needed. St. George is my new favorite place. I would vacation there any day, any time.
absolutely adored their little guy Tyler-
Right after I got spray tanned for our trip to cali.--scary!
Funny story....when Nate and I went into the hospital to have Megan, in casual conversation the nurse asked me what nationality I was......ummm that's a tough one.
My whole family came the night before Megan's blessing to spend the night at our house. We ate dinner at 'The Fun Zone' -complete with a huge indoor jungle gym, arcade, laser tag, and food.
It seems like it has been a long time since we were able to all come together and do something where everyone could just have fun.
Lilly and Pay rode the rides together
Papa played games to help win tickets for the girls to cash in for prizes. (He was really good too)

The whole weekend couldn't have been any better! I love my family and hope the know how much they mean to me.
On March 6th, Lilly's cousins Lauren and Savannah came from Tennessee to spend a few days with us. They had so much fun playing barbies and giggling about silly things. My sister and I had just as much fun being together- we didn't rally leave my house the whole time they were here.
The day the girls left to go back home, Lilly told me, "You stay here with dad, I go with my family, I have to go with my family..."
LaLa, Lil', and S
I love this picture of Nana reading to Lilly and her cabbage patch doll.
Nate's little brother Zach came home from serving an LDS mission in Argentina for two years. The little kids were so excited to have their Uncle Zach home.
We are so proud of him. He sacrificed part of his life to serve the Lord, learn a new language, missing his family all the while, and coming home with the Spirit twinkling in his eyes.
Zach missed out on the arrival of three new nieces while he was gone. Megan, Piper, and Tandi.
Uncle Zach brought home a little souvenir for everyone. The boys got slingshots, and the girls got cute little stocking caps.
All the guys got jerseys from all the different soccor teams. All of these men have served missions as well - Nate to Georgia, Grandpa Cliff to Australia, Cory to Costa Rica, and Heath to Mississippi.
We love the haircut!
..since Halloween, I have been curling her hair with a curling iron, not diffusing it naturally...
just recently, I tried diffusing it and much it my dismay..... the curls are fading away :( we still curl it and have started wearing it in the cute bob as well.
