Spring in the Mountains

It has been a while since I've posted anything. We've had an interesting spring thus far. It got really warm, then cooled off and then got warm again, then it snowed. We got 3 inches the day of my sister-in-laws wedding reception. That's spring in the Rockies! Kirk said he remembers snow on the 4th of July as a kid. YIKES!!

This weekend my sweet husband let me take a few days off and go to Women's Conference at BYU. My dear friend Jessica watched the kids after school until Kirk got home, so thanks to her too. It was a busy weekend full of some interesting classes and some fun time with family. Now I'm hooked and I want to go back next year!!!

There was a concert Thursday night with some very talented artists. If you haven't watched the " Reflections of Christ" video it's incredible. Go to youtube and type in reflections of christ and you can see the video. The images are beautiful and Freddie Ashby has an amazing voice. "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" is one of my favorite songs. Hilary Weeks is great too. She sang some fun little songs about teenagers and being a mom.

All in all it was a great two days and something I would highly recommend to everyone!

Mischief!

Dee Dee is always getting into mischief and she got herself trapped the other day. I heard a lot of crashing around in the laundry room and there I discovered Dee Dee inside the doggie bed we have and she was stuck. As crazy as she can drive me some days, she always makes me giggle. She is so like a little child right now, it's cute which is why we still have her.

Enjoy!

Random Pictures

Two posts in one day, I must be bored!

Here are some random pictures of my kiddos. They love to show off for the camera. One of them is Mike in a ski mask. I guess he was the thief and Olivia was the princess. Kids are sure fun to have around!

St. Patrick's Day!

I have the great privilege of being married to a true Irish Man; red hair, temper and all! Along with this comes the yearly tradition of corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick's Day, which also happens to be Kirk's half birthday. I had fun this year making clover shaped rolls for the occasion and the kids made place mats.

There happened to be a Relief Society Dinner that evening, but my little Irish Man looked so sad I couldn't abandon him and leave him to celebrate alone. He is a sweetie and I really don't mind making a special dinner every year, it makes life fun and interesting. I'm just glad corned beef and cabbage is all we do to celebrate. ( He was tempted to buy a green wig, but that didn't last long!) We still have to watch our movie to celebrate, "The Quiet Man", but we still had a fun evening.

Here are some pictures of our dinner, notice we are all dressed in green. Mike was actually upset he didn't have green pants. He said he had to be green head to toe or he would be pinched. Olivia was just excited to go to school to see if her Leprechaun trap had worked. Alas...their room was a mess and no one caught one!

Enjoy!!
