Happy 80th Puppa

My Grandfather turned 80th Birthday the last weekend in April, so what a better way to celebrate then with a family reunion with everyone.
We went to Park City for the weekend and had a great time.

We did have dinner at our house one night.
Helen, Pupa and Cooper
Isaac was digging Puppa's dessert.
Me, Alina and my dad went on the zip-line at the Olympic Park, it was SO scary and fun!
The bobsled at the Olympic Museum. The kids thought that was cool.

Howdy, cowgirl...
Isaac had a couple of battle wounds on his face after his run in with the driveway.
Isaac wouldn't keep his hat on.

What a slacker...

I just realized that I never posted anything about Easter. I thought that the pictures were pretty cute, so even though it is late.....ENJOY!

Yes, the Easter Bunny did come visit.

I took about 1 million pictures and didn't get one that had both kids looking at the camera, let along smiling.
But, the tie is pretty darn cute.
Once again, a million pictures were taken and this was the best we could get. Everyone looked so cute all dressed up. And yes...the three girlies all look alike.

Best Husband Award

Brian gets the best husband award, at least for this month! :-)

Our anniversary is On Saturday, May 16th. 7 years!!! Anyway, we will be in Atlanta over our anniversary and won't even see each other, as Brian will be in the middle of his "man trip". So, we just talked about going to dinner the weekend after we get back. Well, Brian had something entirely different planned.

On Tuesday night we took the kids up to get frozen yogurt, we we got back Brian asked me to stay in the car, while he took the kids in the house. I asked him to hurry, because I had a presidency meeting to get to.

We he came out we started driving and didn't stop until we reached this place.....


(Castle Creek Inn)

Much to my surprise he had planned a night away, without me even knowing about it!!! He had lined up for his parents to stay with the kids, the room had rose petals everywhere, candles, he even packed my bag!!! We stayed in the same room as we had the night we got married.

I was so surprise and excited. We had a great night and I was very impressed.

As for my presidency meeting you ask????? He had called them to let them know I wouldn't be there. He really thought of everything!

Love you babe!

St. Georgie

Are friends were nice enough to invite us to St. George with them a few weekends ago. Thanks Kevin and Emily!!!

We had a fun time, but had to cut the trip short because Isaac got sick (shocking, I know)!! We normally would have stayed, but he wasn't sleeping well, had a 104 degree fever...so we left a day early.

We went to "Pirate's Pizza" before we left. Leila loved it.

One night we dropped the kiddos off at my mom's in Mesquite and headed to Vegas for some good eats and a little gambling. The picture was in The Belligio gardens, it was amazing. I however, look pretty chunky. I guess it is time to hit the gym again. Can't I just be skinny forever!!!

This is how Leila sleeps in the car, too funny. She covers her head with her blanket so that the sun doesn't get in her eyes.
Leila and Brooklyn
I L-O-V-E this picture, I think they both look so cute.


Once again, I didn't get any pictures of Isaac. I have realized that I don't take too many of him because he rarely feels well and is therefore crabby. However, tubes are around the corner as well as Spring, so I am optimistic that he will be feeling better soon.

Harmonica playing and a cute little boy....

As many of you know Brian is quite the harmonica player. Thus having them around the house, the kids like to play them. Enjoy the cute pictures below.




Isaac is now 9 1/2 months. At his 9 month check up he was in the 50% for weight, 98% for height and 25% for head size. The doctor projects that he will be at least 6 feet tall. Too funny, we shall see.

Happy St. Patty's Day

Wishing all my fellow Irish men (and women) a happy and fun day.

California

We packed up the kids and headed to San Francisco to visit Brian's sister Liz and her family. Stephen, Brian's nephew, was getting baptized and asked Brian to baptize him. It was a great excuse for a weekend getaway.

Stephen and Brian, I think this is a cute picture.

All the family in attendance.
At the hotel, getting ready to go for a swim/ hot tub. This was Isaac's first time swimming. He thought it was great fun. I just love his little swim suit. You don't get much chubbier then this. :-)
Leila wouldn't let me take her picture on the plane.
Isaac's first plane ride. He was a champ.
