Ready for Spring....NOW!

Saturday was such a gorgeous day.  We decided to meet up with my girlfriend Sharon at a park in Draper.  Das bought a double stroller that also attaches to his bike.  He brought that along.  Logan loves it.

Logan was excited to try the slide for his very first time.

But he wasn't so sure about it at the end. lol

Sharon's little boy Nathan is such a cutie.  The boys have lots of fun with him.

I can't believe how fast Maxwell is changing.  They grow up way to fast.

Tristan and Ashton love to climb.  I am better off not watching them, cuz I'm afraid they will fall.

But Das of course loves to encourage them.  I guess its good they aren't afraid of heights like I am.

We stayed for a couple of hours at the park and had to get home to get ready for dinner club at Ben and Heather's.  The food was so good.  I need to get the recipes.  Surprisingly, I didn't get many pictures.  The ones I got were of Kevin and Leesa during our game against them seeing which couple could catch the most marshmallows in their mouth.  Das and I lost.  It was a good laugh.  Then we had to rush out.  Logan had been sick, and we didn't want to leave him to long with the sitters.  Hopefully now that the weather is getting nicer, we won't have any colds in our house for a while.  I don't realize how much I dislike the winter until Spring comes around.  Then I can send the kids outside to play as well as get myself out in the yard.  And we excited for our trip to St.George/Vegas in a few weeks.  As well as all our other trips planned this summer.  I am glad I won't spend  my summer being pregnant.  Just fat. lol

Going to the Temple

Thursday morning we were rushing to get the kids off so we could make it to the Temple.  We were really excited.  This would be our very first sealing that we got to attend together (other than our own.) 

Taylor and Paige chose the Draper Temple for their wedding.  It was such a beautiful day for a wedding.  The room was filled with loved ones, and the spirit was strong.  I am so thankful for Temples and eternal families. 

After the sealing we hung out in the sun waiting for the bride and groom to emerge.  During our wait my sister Dianne passed around some chapstick for us girls to use.  A few minutes later my lips were tingling and then burning.  Turns out it was a limp plumper.  Which apprently worked the best on me and everyone kept laughing and staring. Nice!  I didn't notice much of a difference in the size.  But they sure felt funny for a while.  And then we talked about my nephew Mike above proposing to his gf.  Congrats Mike and Meagan!  So excited for you two! 

 Then the ravishing bride came out just glowing.  We are so excited to have Paige join our family.  She is such a joy to be around.  Thanks for letting us be a part of your perfect day.
















Families can be together forever.  I am so thankful for my husband and grateful he took me to the temple so that we can be together forever. 

The reception later that evening was held at "This is the Place."  It was so much fun to see everyone and to see it all come together.  Food was fantabulous and the entertainment was divine(my sister Amy and her husband).  My sister Rebecca was so thrilled to now say she has a daughter and she was proud of Taylor for the young woman he chose.

-This past week has been extremely busy for us.  I am glad it is over.  But it sure was a great week.

Wednesday night my sister in law Keli came to babysit for us while we headed downtown for my nephew Taylor's wedding dinner.  We enjoyed a delicious dinner while we watched a video my sister Rebecca put together of Taylor and Paige.  Then my very talented sister Amy performed a couple of songs with her daughter and her husband.  Followed by my nephews singing "Afternoon Delight" to the bride and groom.  It was a beautiful evening!

Cleopatra the Cat

I use our kitty Cleo to lure little girls into our home. lol 

My sister came over a few weeks ago to have her hair done, and brought her daughter Bethany with her.  She followed the cat around everywhere.  And the cat handles it very well.  She carried her around like a doll.  And wanted to take her home.

And last week my friends two little girls came over for a little bit.  It was the same thing.  They did not want to leave her alone.  And then they didn't want to leave.  When we went to go pick the boys up from school, they insisted the cat come with us.  Is this all it takes to get a girl? lol  I sure do enjoy having adorable girls over every now and then.  When the boys are over to play...they just want to torture the cat.  So if your little girls are missing....check my house first.=)

Baby Face Das

During the colder months, Das likes to grow out his beard to keep warm.  Each year he does this, more and more grey hairs start to grow in.  Mostly in his chin as you can see.

 So....just for fun....I put "Just For Men" in his stocking.  And of course it got stashed under the bath room sink.  So yesterday he decided it was time for the beard to go.  I suggested we try out the dye, since he would be shaving it off anyway. 

He was such a good sport!  I was pretty sloppy applying since it wasn't going to stay that long.  He kept it on for 5 minutes, and washed it off in the shower.  I think he was actually impressed with the color.  I think he was almost going to keep the beard for a few more days.  But no luck.  then he thought maybe he'd do a goatee....but nope.  Das has such a baby face.  When that beard comes off, we hardly recognize him. 

 Isn't he soooo cute?! LOL

But really.... I love his beard in the winter and love it even more when he shaves it off.  Even Logan looked at him funny and wouldn't touch his face.  It always takes some getting use to.

We're Engaged!!!

Sunday evening we got together at Ratha and Racie's house to celebrate the engagement of our cousin Margie and Chris.  We have know for a few months that they were looking at rings, but it was just a few weeks ago that Chris popped the question.  So exciting!  You two are such a cute couple! 

Racie did haystacks and a delicious dessert.  Thanks guys for having us all over.   

Logan and Boston are just getting to the age that they are noticing each other.  They sat and played with Maverick and shared a book with each other.  These boys are just too cute!

Love is in the air...

Above is my nephew Taylor(My sisters oldest of 6 boys) and his adorable fiance Paige.  They are getting married next week in the Draper Temple.  Taylor is the first grandchild to tie the knot.  We are so excited for them.  I am excited to attend my first sealing, other than my own. 

This is my nephew Mike and his darling gf Megan. They should be next.....MIKE!!! 

These are my sister Lynette's 3 youngest boys.  Jake, Zach, and Dan with my sister Christine.  My sister Lynette threw Taylor an Paige a couples bridal shower Saturday night.  She made lasagna and we each brought something to eat.  It was really neat.  After dinner they had a cute game put together for the bride and groom.  They put them back to back and gave them each a pink and blue balloon.  They then asked them questions like, "who will be the disciplinary."  And lots more.  They were to raise the balloon for who they thought.  It was sweet and funny. 

Another nephew David and sweet gf Tara.  Hopefully another wedding in the making.:)

Taylor and Paige....we wish you all the happiness in the world.  Marriage had been so good to Das and I, and we hope you will be as blessed and happy as we have been.  Cherish every moment!  Congrats!
