Weddings, Graduations and Memorial fun!

We had a great weekend with my family! Ryan and Heather were married on the 22nd. They make a great couple and we are excited to have Heather in our family. She was a beautiful bride! (Ryan wasn't so bad either)

We also attended Seminary graduation for my brother Tyson. He gave a talk and all 3minutes of it were great. He is graduating from High School tomorrow and my parents are down to only 2 kids left! I forgot my camera and will have to get those pictures from my mom.

We spent the rest of the weekend on four wheelers as is Memorial weekend tradition! We had a blast.

Running With Angels

On the 16th of the month I went with some of my Sister-in-laws and my mother-in-law to Utah.  It was a fun girls weekend! Three of my SIL's and three of my neices ran in the 5k at Thanksgiving point. It is a great race called Running with Angels based on the book by Pamela Hansen.  If you need and inspiration to lose weight I know this book has helped a lot of people.  I haven't read the book but I have been to a fireside that she did and it was great.   We are all so pround of my Sister-in-law Lisa who turned 40 this year and ran her first race! She has lost a lot of weight over the last few months and looks awesome!  There were over 1000 racers! Crazy.  It was so much fun and I am proud of those that ran.   Next time hopefully I will be in shape enough to run (and not pregnant!).  I always have a great time with Kent's family and am so glad that they are in my life.

I didn't get a lot of pictures because my batteries died :(  but here are some pictures of the runners before the race and after.   Woot Woot!

A boy!

We found out on Wednesday that we are having a BOY.
We are so excited to even things out. Chandler was relieved!
In other news we are moving to Ammon! (I know, big move).
The house we are renting is for sale and we found out the landlords have been in foreclosure, so we started looking for something else and found it.
We are really excited because although it is a smaller house and older it has almost an acre of land and a
FENCE, and tReEs.
We are so happy to have privacy- something we haven't had for a year now. Yippeee

Beautiful Spring Weekend!

We had a fun weekend with our Friends Dave and Shari here.

The weather was perfect!  On Saturday we took the kids on our favorite walk, Cress Creek.  Of course I forgot my camera, but it was beautiful.  Then we took the kids to the Museum of Idaho to see the Titanic Exhibit.  It was good, but I don't recommend taking anyone younger than 6 or 7.  Plus in all the crazy, I totally didn't read the sign that says NO PICTURES.  So here is the one picture I took before I got in trouble!  This picture is in front of a replica of what the Titanic looks like at the bottom of the sea.

Kylee and Aly

I took this picture at our Easter party. I thought it was so precious. Kylee is Kent's oldest neice. She is in her 20's and Aly is the youngest of the 40plus Grandkids.

Easter

We had a GrEat EaStEr! Saturday is the day that we do all of our Celebrating so we can focus on the real meaning of Easter on Sunday. So bright and early Saturday morning,
the kids woke up to their Easter Baskets that the Easter Bunny had left them! Thus begins the NON-STOP day of candy eating! Then we colored our easter eggs, and headed to Grandma and Grandpa Dance's house for our traditional Easter Egg Hunt. We had a great time and love seeing all the cousins~ we were just so glad when the day was over and we could HIDE all of the candy. It is amazing what candy does to children! We hope that you all enjoyed your Easter as much as we did.
