EASTER EGGS!!!

Grandma Kim loves Peeps. So we let the kids decorate Peep eggs for Grandma Kim for Easter. They had a lot of fun and it was fun to see them get creative. Then a couple nights later we colored eggs. Brandon was so cute cause Lilly wanted a two tone egg so he was trying so hard to get creative on making a two toned egg. Such a good DAD!!

HAPPY 28th BIRTHDAY TO YOU TARA!!!!!!

So 13 years ago Lish and I decided to throw a surprise Birthday Party for Tara at the Zions Bank basement. We gave out tons of invitations at school and told them not to tell Tara. So Lish and I went through tons of planning and couldn't wait to surprise Tara that night. We told her we would go to the movie that night with her to celebrate her Birthday in hopes she would get fixed up for this huge party we had planned for her. Her mom had just taken her Birthday shopping and she had got tons of new clothes (like she needed it, she had the best wardrobe you could ever want) but Tara being the fun and crazy girl she was she suddenly decided that we should all wear our "jammies" to the movies. Lish and I were freaking out. We could not let Tara show up at her surprise party in her jammies. It took a while of convincing, but we finally got her to wear her new clothes. So the plan was Tara's mom was taking us to the movies, but before we went Tara's mom told her we needed to drop some tax information off in the basement of Zions Bank cause some people down there were doing her taxes for her. And conveniently she needed Tara to run it in for her. So the plan was we would honk when we got there so everyone at the party knew we were there. Jill honked and yelled there's Aunt Danna and waved. Tara was like oh my gosh Mom that was not her. Its not even her car. We just laughed. So Tara got out of the car and we followed close behind. She walked in, everybody yelled surprise and she walked back out. Of course we made her go back in. But what a FUN night that was. The boys in our grade were so crazy and funny we just had a blast. Thank You Tara for so many fun memories! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TARA I LOVE YOU! P.S. I hope you don't hate me for posting these pics!

ALYSSA GOT A PERM!!!

So yesterday after school I PERMED Alyssa's hair. It turned out so CUTE! I know it seems kind of eightys to perm her hair, but it just doesn't stay very good. She usually looks pretty hammered by the end of the day. She was excited and wanted me to do it though. We started at 2:45 and didn't get done with it til 6:00. I did a spiral perm so they always take LONGER. I felt so bad cause she has a terrible COLD right now which makes her so miserable. When i put the perm solution in her hair she was screaming that she was going to die or throw up. Then after we got done she said, "That wasn't so bad Mom". I just laughed. But by the time we were done she was so BEAT! She was so cute cause even though she was so tired she still wanted to go to the grocery store with me (I think she wanted to show off her new hair do to everyone). But when we got home she didn't want what we were having for dinner so I made her some macaroni and cheese and she didn't even make it through half the bowl before she was out. Poor thing! She was trying so hard to stay awake. She is such my SWEET little Lys. I love her!

She was trying so hard to smile.

She just couldn't make it to bed time.

Brandon is absolutely AMAZING to me! He would do anything for me and the kids. He took me and my 3 kids into his home without any hesitation.

It only took 5 months to figure out what that good thing was and I would have to definately say it was Brandon.

Maggie is so jealous of me!

When my cousin Jane called me late one night, 5 days after Kevin left, and convinced me to move to her house in Kaysville and live in her beautiful basement she had just finished I know she was truly Inspired. I would have never met Brandon if I didn't. If I didn't move to Kaysville I would have never went to DATC where I met Brandon's cousin that hooked us up.
