Baby shower for Lindsay Lou

My cousin Lindsay is having a baby boy, Aiden James, in a couple of weeks. Today we had her baby shower. Hannah made friends with all the other little girls and had a fun time.

Melissa and Lindsay, beautiful ladies!

Hannah couldn't get enough of the pasta salad with cheese and olives. She also loved the grapes and ice-cream!

It was a nice celebration. Thank you Aunt Shauna and Melissa for a wonderful party. And to Robin and Amber for helping out with the excellent food! You all did a wonderful job!!! And it was tons of fun to see everyone!

Hanging out with Grandma Kia and Alli

Dinner with Bettridges

Lettuce hats

I was making a salad today and pulled off an outer piece of lettuce. Before throwing it away, I popped it on my head. The kids thought it was so funny and they wanted to try it out. I think I got some great candid shots.

I just missed Richard trying to take a bite out of Hannah's hat, but you can see a tiny bit of his face. So funny!

Our first plants of the season

We have tulips that come up every spring. Each year we have more and more flowers. The kids have loved checking on them the last month to see how tall they are getting. And they helped me plant pansies over the weekend.

I was so anxious to plant a garden, and so was Richard. So we bought these little garden starters and seeds and planted away. About 3 weeks ago our first plant came up. Now we have almost 2 dozen plants growing strong. Hannah and Richard love to see them each morning to find out how much they have grown the night before. It's been so much fun. Now I need to get my garden ready to transplant them and plant more seeds in the next few weeks. I LOVE SPRING!!!

Another visit to Snip-its

The kids really needed haircuts so I took them to their favorite place, Snip-its. They had a lot of fun and got to play video games and watch a movie while getting their hair done. Hannah was really good for her first haircut and we got to keep a lock of her cut hair.

Quick stop by Cabelas

I had an appointment in Lehi the other night so Chris and the kids came with me. Following the appt. we headed to Cabela's. It's been a long time since we have been there and we figured the kids would like to see all the fish and the animal displays. It was fun. Richard found these silly hats in a bargain bin. Hannah was tired and hungry, but I love Richard's poses and how cute they are in these silly hats.

Happy Birthday Marki (yesterday)

My darling niece Marki turned 3 yesterday. She is adorable! Marki is so sweet and shy. But she loves to play with Hannah and Richard when we get to see her. I hope you had a wonderful birthday, Marki! We love you!!!

Playin' at the park

My cute friend Becca invited us to the park with her and her cute girls. Richard and Hannah were so excited and we had a lot of fun. Thank you Becca, Carey Ann, and Lily Beth!!!

Lily Beth and Hannah had tons of fun on the swings!

Whee!

Lily Beth was pulling cute faces while she was swinging. It was too cute!

This afternoon we went for a drive up the canyon. We saw a few deer and had a nice time getting out of the house. I love spring! On the way home we stopped at Chris's Aunt Lani and Uncle Jan's for a visit. They are always so welcoming. Their granddaughter, Lola, is visiting so Richard and Hannah got to play with her. They had so much fun and I got some great photos. (below)

Thank you guys for letting us stop by and have fun visiting!!!

Hanging out with Lola

Yesterday we spent about 3 or 4 hours with our friends Monica and Justin and their kids. Chris was helping Justin move their shed. A few times we thought the shed was going to crash down, but they did a great job. Right at the end they did a few problems with trying to get the trailer out, but ended up with it pretty close to where it was supposed to be.

Richard and Hannah had tons of fun being outside with the kids and the dogs. Monica and mostly got to chat and play with the kids while the men worked hard. :) We didn't want to get in the way and get yelled at. :)

Justin's mom bought us all pizza at the end of the move. That was really nice of her! Thank you guys for the fun little party! Ha, ha! The following slide show is from the festivities...
