So True!

"The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have."
Doesn't this quote make you feel all warm & fuzzy inside!?! Ok, so I'm a cheeseball...& I'm ok with that! :) I pass by this "life's rad" sign all of the time and it always brightens my day. So, I thought I'd share. Have a great weekend!

Easter

Our little fam.


Princess Brooke.


On the prawl.


Do I eat it?


Kickin back.


Yum, dessert!

Easter is one of my favorite holidays. Sunshine, blooming flowers, reflections of our Savior, friends and family...peeps. This year we went to the Cremers for their traditional, delicious tacos and annual Easter egg hunt. The rule of thumb is that you can hunt up until you have children yourself, meaning this year was the first that Jeff and I didn't get to participate...a very sad and disheartening day for Jeff. ;) However, we did get to take McKay around, which was even better! Let me just explain to you that this is no ordinary Easter egg hunt. There are approximately 85 eggs hidden on the property and inside each egg does not contain just your average jelly bean. Let's just say the winner, my nephew, Parker, made out like a bandit with $40+ dollars! This year we were, or I was rather, a little more preoccupied with the camera. We finished off the event with yummy angel food cake, strawberries and whip cream-my all time fav! Thanks Cremers for the great time and great company! Oh, and watch out Parker, I'm sure McKay will give you a run for your money...literally...in the years to come!

Trip to UT

In March McKay and I got to take a trip up to UT to see Grandma, or "Gigi" as we say for Great Grandma. Gigi was in the hospital recovering from her heart surgery. It was so good to see her and spend some time with her. I hold this lady very dear to my heart and I sure do miss her. My family also drove up from AZ so it was always so fun and great to see them as well! Unfortunately, the one thing I forgot to take was my camera! Ugh!..still a little upset about that one; but, we at least were able to get some pics at Trav & Shar's with their camera...thanks Shar! You're a life savor!

Boyfriend, Girlfriend

So, I hear arranged marriages are coming back...either one of these darlings will do. ;) Any other potential prospects?

Little Monkey

At the park.


Sitting up so very well.


I thought it would be funny to stick him in his cradle...for some reason he thought it was even funnier. He was cracking up, it was so cute!


Loves the swings.


This age is my absolute favorite! Although it does seems like I keep saying this with each and every month. McKay loves to twiddle his thumbs, blow rasberries, sit up, jump in his jumper, "talk"..or squeal.., and loves to flirt. He loves to eat anything mommy eats and grab anything mommy is holding...and eat that too of course! He also likes to sneeze, yes, sneeze...he thinks it's so funny, he laughs every time! Mode of transportation: still rolling..but with more distance! He sorta rocks back and forth on his hands and knees, so we'll see how long it takes for him to figure out the full-fledged crawl. He just keeps getting more and more fun! Such a good boy. I love it!
