Easter

We had a great Easter this year. We enjoyed General Conference and went to Rob's brother Dave's house for lunch. It was great to visit. Here are a few pictures from our weekend.

Brig got some soft balls and a bumble bee, he thinks they taste great.


What's the best part of Easter? The grass of course, just ask Brig.


Dean got several glasses, a Lightning McQueen water bottle, magnifying glass and some bugs, and a gun, oh and two peanut butter eggs.
(not a whole lot of candy this year)

Saturday night we went to Grandma CC's house for dinner.
Dean built a great train and Train station with a little help from Mom.

Last Wednesday we went to Grandma CC's house and colored eggs with cousin Ty.

I decided to go ahead and splurge on Easter outfits for the boys this year, partly because I wanted to dress them alike and because I had my brothers wedding for an excuse to dress them up. Cousin Ty has the same one also.

We have enjoyed a few of the warm weather days this past month and went on a picnic.

Briggly had help from aunt Meg to stay warm.

Dean and Ty fed the already fat ducks. they had two sandwich bags of cheerios and some bread.

These Ducks are not shy at all. They came right up wanting food I even had one eat out of my hand.

I hope you all had a great Easter also.

weight loss Tip #6

Give yourself a break
your body will hit platues. Something that will help is a “free day” or meal. It's a day that you allow yourself to go over you daily calorie budget (this doesn't mean pig out). Have a meal that you love that is normally out of your calorie budget. This not only confuses your body (which is a good thing), but it will also help you stay on track, because you will feel less deprived. I allow myself a “free day” once a week.

St. Patty's Day

I realized that I don't post pictures on here very often, so here are some from today and the recent past.
We haven't had any family pictures, well not any nice one's sense Brig was born, I thought I better start taking a few even in they are just random snapshots. this is us in our St. Patty's day green.

I normally make some Irish food for St. Patrick's day, but this year I just didn't feel like it so we just made our dinner green. we had green eggs with sausage, green milk and green blueberry muffins.

I had to put a picture of my cute baby, he is growing so fast. I have been wanting one of these chairs and finally found one, I love it and he does too.

Can you believe we had snow only a week and a half ago. Then today it was so nice I went without a jacket. Got to love Utah weather.
