Peyton turns 3

On April 6th, my little Peyton turned 3. I still picture her as a baby, but I guess it is time to accept the fact that she is no longer a baby. She is growing up so fast & becoming quite the little sass. All she wanted for her birthday was Dora, Dora, Dora, so she got a Dora birthday party with her cousins, a Dora bike & helmet, & a Dora suitcase (for when she goes to see Grandma & for when she flies to visit Nana). She also just had to have a pinata, because her brother had one on his birthday. She picked out a Diego pinata (it looks a little freaky, I know) which I was a little surprised about, but I told her it was good to mix it up a bit. She had a blast opening her presents & having a whole day just about her. Now, if the weather would just get warm enough so she could actually ride her bike, she would be one happy little girl!!

March Madness!!

Wow!! March has flown by, but I think that probably has to do with the fact that we were lucky enough to have so many visitors & fun things going on this past month. First, Erin, Abbie & Landon came to visit all the way from freezing Minneapolis. Then, my mom (aka Nana) & my sister spent their spring break with us, which I have to say was a rip off for them. They left 80 degree temps only to be welcomed to snow, wind & rain in Utah, but we're definitely glad they decided to visit, because it was great to see them. Next, Nicole, Maddie, Cole & Ellie flew in for a quick visit from San Antonio, & we were able to spend a little time with them. Finally, Melissa, Zach & Luke decided to leave Boise to spend their spring break in Utah with family & friends. It was so great to see everyone, & we are so blessed to have so many wonderful friends all over the place. Sad, that it didn't work out that we could all be together at one time, but we'll take what we can get!! Kids are getting big & growing up way too fast.

Easter was wonderful this year. Easter is one of my favorite holidays because it means spring is on the way, & it also helps remind me of how grateful I am for our Savior and for his atoning sacrifice for all of us. The kid's had 3 Easter egg hunts & are definitely candied out. Finally, Derek took me to the Rascal Flatts concert. It was my Valentine's present this year & probably the best Valentine's present ever!! He's got his work cut out for him next year if he wants to top that!! Hope everyone is doing great & that y'all had a great Easter:)
