Kindergarten Graduate

Leila graduated from kindergarten on June 5th. We both have mixed feelings about it. While she is really excited to go to 1st grade we are going to miss her kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Bailey SOOO much.
She has had a really great year! She has made some really great/ cute friends and scored the maximum possible on ALL her kindergarten testing. We are so proud of her.

Waiting for the program to start. I wish Claire would smile for the camera....she really does have a cute smile.

Nana, Leila and Puppa

Classic family picture. I am convinced that we won't get a family picture with everyone smiling for another 5 years.

Lilly and Leila

Leila and Megan. Megan is Mrs. Bailey daughter and Leila just loved her! She begs to let me have Megan babysit her.

I told Leila I wanted to take some pictures of her after school. This was her pose!

Another one :-)

This is how we roll

So, Leila was always dressed, hair done and ready to go. Then Isaac joined the family and he was always dressed and ready to go, but having his hair done wasn't a battle I was willing to fight. Then Claire came along and she is rarely dressed and pretty much never has her hair done. I guess I better stop there for fear of how a 4th would fair in this house.

I love them all and when they are playing nicely together it is really quite cute!

Salt Lake Temple

My favorite time of year to walk around Temple Square is in the Spring. The flowers are incredible! Brian had a bunch of family in town this last weekend, so we all went down to see the beautiful flowers and temple.

Easter Sunday

We had a great Easter with my family. We kept it pretty low-key, it was perfect for us.

After church we went to my dads for dinner with my mom, Tawn and the girls and my dad. We had a great meal, desserts and egg hunt.

Easter Festivities

This year we got home the day before Easter.....so we had to get everything together before we left. It was great spending quiet time with the kiddos coloring/ decorating Easter Eggs.

Brian is pretty intense coloring his egg with a white crayon.

Isaac and I shrink wrapping our eggs.

Leila's favorite - peace sign egg.

The finished product. We are so artistic ;-)

Isaac's favorite Fin McMissile egg.

Jamaica

I was trying to come up with a catchy title for my post....but why get catchy...the word Jamaica says it all!
Brian and I went to Couples Sans Souci in Ocho Rios to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. Our real anniversary isn't until May 16th, but since Brian had a week off fro Spring Break we decided to take advantage of that.
Really all I can say is that it was a PERFECT trip. Can I go back, like right now?!?!?!

Another view from our balcony.

Loving the beach!

There were hammocks all over the property.

Pina Coladas always at our fingertips.

Needs no description

This parrot loved Brian, but hated me.

A massage hut, overlooking the water.

I want this view everyday.
