Star Gazing

Nathan, the ultimate stargazer, tipped us off about a recent meteor shower. He brought his girls out to watch one evening, and brought s'mores goodies. We enjoyed an evening of treats, great spring weather, and quiet time with family watching the sun go down and the stars come out. We laid on the lawn and saw many constellations and a few meteors too. Thanks for the fun evening Nate!

Snowy Spring break

Yes, this is our back yard on this lovely Spring break. We enjoyed warm, sunny weather for our Easter egg hunt two days ago, but it is snowy, gray and cold today! Luckily, it should be back in the 70's by the weekend!

Easter

We had a very fun Easter, and you get to see these photos in reverse order, starting with Easter eveing and going back to the morning.

Cousins on the trampoline, moms standing close by.

Our very cute cousins finding eggs in the back yard.

We were almost late to church for this photo, and Lauren was giving a talk, so it was a risk to take it, but I knew you'd be glad to see them in their new Easter clothes.

You're never too old to color Easter eggs.

Now we have like 3 dozen eggs to eat ... lots of egg salad for us!

It was a great day, but the best part about it was celebrating the resurrection

of our Savior Jesus Christ. We are so blessed!

Painting Adreinne's New House

We spent a day helping Adrienne and Matt at their new house. Painting is so much fun!The girls were excited to mark up the walls.

Grandpa flew in to help with house projects, I'm sure he was glad we saved all
the hard detail work for him!

Her house is so beautiful, you'd never believe the transformation!

New Year Eve Dance

This is way late, I know, but this is the picture of independence - first dance without a parent driving them! I was a nervous wreck all night, but they did great!

Teenage Driver!

Tommy got his driver's license in December, after much work getting the Eagle Scout project done. He is loving his freedom and it is nice for Tom to not drive to 6:00 a.m. seminary every day!
