Singing Elizabeth

Here is a not the best video of Elizabeth reluctantly singing her ABC's, but she's cute anyway

Fun Memorial Day Weekend!

We had a great getaway this Memorial Day weekend, we started Thursday after Tony got off work we loaded up the car and headed up to my parent's house had a quick bite to eat then loaded up the motorhome and headed up to Logan. Friday we hit up the Pepperidge Farm Outlet store and they were very well stocked so we had a great selection to choose from! Then we went to Lawry's meat outlet and picked up some good deals, Then we went to lunch at the coolest Chic-fi-le ever! They had an awesome play place where Elizabeth got some energy out while we enjoyed out food. Then we went to Gossners and then back to the motorhome. Saturday my parent's graciously watched the kids for us while we went and saw Kung Fu Panda 2 in 3D, it was the fist movie we've seen in 3D and it was pretty cool, the movie was very good, and the break from the kids was the best!! We got some good planning in for our Canada trip in September and are really getting excited for it! Sunday we went to my great grandparents grave up in Smithfield. Like I said it was a very nice getaway, we played quite a few games of Ticket To Ride, Elizabeth loved watching a movie in her bed for quiet time, Devin was even full of smiles most the time and we got alot of just chillin' time in which was very nice!

Another Sparkling Clean Car!

So this past week we haven't been up to much. I'm going on week 3 of this stupid cold that had me puking my brains out Thursday night through Friday morning, so we went to the Instacare AGAIN and they checked for pneumonia which thankfully it wasn't so they gave me an antibiotic and anit-nausea med and super duper cough medicine which does nothing for my hacking but does put me to sleep. Here's hoping this is the last week of it! This past Saturday we went to Tony's parent's house (after Tony woke me from my cough syrup induced coma) and he washed and waxed his mom's car(this is our birthday/mother's and father's day gifts) Elizabeth had lots of fun having free reign, she played downstairs in the toy room, outside on the cube and just about everywhere in between! I was so impressed she didn't once try to go into the road or get into things she shouldn't! Devin was in a super good mood as well, he was smiling and jabbering, and moving like crazy! Sunday we got creative and rearranged our living room a bit, Elizabeth now has a play corner behind the couch, and Devin's toys and such are against a wall of their own! It's definitely different but I love it! Well that's it for now, enjoy the pics I may try to upload a video but I doubt it'll upload so if you don't see it check out facebook I'll put it on there.




















IT WORKED!!! :D

What a Weekend!!

Friday one of my best friends whom I've known her entire life (and I love to pieces!) was sealed to the man of her dreams in the Bountiful Temple, and Tony and I were privileged to be there for them on their special day!(thanks to Tony's parents for watching the kids while we were in the temple, and my parent's while we stayed at the reception!) The sealing was amazing, the spirit was so strong, and emotions ran over. The luncheon was very nice! It was held in the groom's mother's backyard, Elizabeth made a friend, Cambria who is just a month younger than her, they had so much fun running around and playing together, the food was super yummy too! Then we spent an hour at my parents house as the reception was at the Castle just a few minutes away. It was a very very nice reception! Elizabeth was so very done with it all though by the time my parents got there and took her and Devin with them. We stayed to send them off in their white stretch limo! I'm so glad to see my friend so very happy! It was such a great day!!
Saturday Tony Liz and my dad washed the motorhome so Tony could wax it. My dad played with Liz outside while he was doing so. My mom Devin and I ran some errands, one of which was to hancock fabrics as I've been wanting to learn to sew, so my mom helped me pick out some patterns that were on sale then we looked through the cheap fabric and found some really cute stuff! Then while the kids were napping my mom helped my sew some adorable shorts for Devin. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be and they turned out so cute!! Sunday evening we had a family party for my family's May birthdays including my grandma's 75th!! It was a great great weekend!! Enjoy the pics!
