Happy Easter

Easter Sunday was so wonderful this year. Cody and I started out the beautiful day by going to Dad's Ward. It was really good and dad gave a great talk about Easter. Then we all went over to mom and dad's for an easter egg hunt, dinner, and to celebrate Amber and Brian's birthday. Everybody brought a good dish to contribute to the amazingly delicious meal and Chanika made a really good and really cute Easter/Birthday Cake. The house was full and crazy. Geoff, Sam and Marielle, and Janessa, and Jami's sister and her two boys all came into town this weekend. It was so fun to see everybody and enjoy everyone's company.

Cody playing easter bunny and hiding all of the eggs for the easter egg hunt, or was he sneaking some candy for himself? :)

Everybody just haning out and enjoying the beautiful weather.

Chanika made this really cute cake and it was sooo good!!!

I absolutely love Easter Colors and Easter Flowers!!

The Two Cutest babies. Chris and Chanika's little Maxxwell and Sam and Marielle's Little Hadley

We all had such a fun time and enjoyed the craziness of the kids running around and the family just being together. It was a perfect easter sunday!!

Spring Has Sprung

Spring has finally Sprung!!!! I absolutely love spring. This is our first and only flower, so far, in our yard. I am so excited for the weather to warm up and for summer to come. I hate being cold and wet. I am so happy to say goodbye to the Winter!!!

Packing Fun

Well not much has gone on this past week. I have been pretty busy packing up our house. :( :( I am pretty sad because I love our little home and I love being so close to family. We aren't moving to Utah yet, but we are moving in with our parents so we can save some money and my parents can rent out our little home. It is kind of nice packing and going through everything because I am doing a little spring cleaning at the same time and getting rid of a ton of stuff that we never use. I am excited to move in with my parents for a little bit. It will be a fun summer!!!!
I do have this week off of work because it is Spring Break for my boss's family. It has been really nice so far sleeping in and just hanging out with my sisters and their kids. I am not doing too much that is fun except for the Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban concert on Wednesday. I am going with two of my really good friends Debra and Caitlin. I am so excited. I absolutely love Carrie Underwood and have been a fan since her audition for American Idol!!! I asked if Cody wanted to come but he didn't want to hang out with three girls at a Carrie Underwood concert. I don't know why!!! :):):):)
Cody really hasn't done much either. He has just been busy with work and school. He's figuring out how to transfer his job from Reno to Orem. Good luck, Cody!!!
Well that's it for now.

A New Chapter

As many of you know I have had a dream to be a Dental Hygienist!! I have been going through the tedious process of applying to different schools and today I am able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Yes you guessed it, I got accepted to the Utah College of Dental Hygiene school in Orem, Utah!!! When I opened that letter I had so many different emotions run through me. I was so excited but at the same time I was nervous, scared out of my mind, and a little sad to leave my comfortable happy life in Reno. Wow this is a huge change and I am so excited to see what is going to happen. We will be moving to Orem this August!!! Crazy!! I never thought that I would get in because it is such a competitive program to get into, but I decided to try and see. I figured if I got in, great, if not then that's not where we are suppose to direct our lives. I would have been happy either way. I knew that if i did all that I could then the Lord would do the rest. I am glad that I never gave up and kept pushing forward to see what I could do. I am so scared because Dental Hygiene is a very demanding program. When I went to my interview they told me that this was as serious and as difficult as medical school. They then asked me if I was willing to give up my social life for two years. Wow!!! That is serious. I am excited though and two years will fly by. A new chapter in our life has just opened!!! Yea!!!!

Cody and Annacy's Date

For months cody had this great idea that he wanted to take Annacy our niece to Build-a-Bear for her birthday. He was so excited that he took her a week before her birthday I'm surprised he was able to wait that long. She had so much fun. I just came along to be the photographer. It was so fun to see those two have so much fun together.


Annacy picked out a cute pink and white teddy bear. I think she was a little reserved at first because she didn't know what was going on. After awhile she figured out what was going on and had a ton of fun.

She got to name her bear, Mackie!!! End of a fun fun birthday date at Build-a-Bear.

Imagery by Brianne Hall

My friend Brianne Hall is starting her own photography business and she wanted to take some pictures of me to start her website. She is an amazing photographer and had a lot of good ideas. She also took pictures of Wyatt that day that turned out great!!! Brianne does a lot of different kinds of photography, Weddings, engagement photos, family, and whatever you want. If any one needs a photographer for any reason I would highly recommend Brianne.

Surprise photoshoot of Wyatt

Every other Thursday I watch my nephew, Wyatt, while my sister is working. This past thursday a friend of mine, Brianne Hall, and I went up to the park to take some pictures of Wyatt and Me. It was a surprise for my sister and I gave the pictures to her for Wyatt's birthday. She was so excited because wyatt is the most difficult little boy to get a good picture. He is always on the move and never wants to stand still. Brianne did an awesome job. If anyone needs a photographer she is the one to ask. Thanks Brianne for the great pictures. Annacy, Wyatt, and Simon running around in the snow. Annacy is always the leader with Wyatt right behind her and simon coming up at the end. They are so cute. I just love my niece and nephews.
