We will never grow up!

My family is a bunch of big kids. We are never going to grow up. An example of this is our yearly Easter tradition. This year we have Bryce that is 25, Me-23, Landon-22, Jason-18 and Carter-16. I wont name the ages of my parents ;) Old people seem to have a funny thing about not wanting people to know their age. HA!! There are no little kids but who cares right? We still have Easter baskets and we decorate eggs and the best part is the Easter egg hunt. It is highly competitive and not for the weak.

It didn't show up well, but Bryce's egg that he is holding says Utah Jazz Suck. Usually the eggs are pro-Utah Jazz, but I guess he is a little bitter this year.
We had three dozen eggs to decorate, a job we all took very seriously.

This is us lining up before the Easter egg hunt. I told them I got to be in front since I am the fattest. I had to use that to my advantage this year. My brothers' faces say it all.... Landon is a goof and likes to pull this face a lot, Jason is all business and has gone as far as knocking me to the ground, he probably would have done it again this year, but for Jayda's sake I let him get the egg this time. Carter was tired, but he woke up and had a good time and Bryce is laughing because he thinks it is hilarious.

Bella had fun too. She just ran around the yard with all of us not really knowing what was going on. Buster had to stay home cause he is a whiner and doesn't behave so he had a lonely Easter. Dad was the egg master.

And just for the record... I WON! I got eighteen dollars which was the most out of everyone.

Buca Di Beppo

On Friday we had the chance to get together with some of Bryce's friends. They all pretty much grew up together and still keep in contact. Derek and Kim (the two on the front right) live in Arizona right now and were able to come visit for a few weeks and have their new baby London blessed. It was also Derek's birthday a few days earlier so we told them it was his birthday and they brought him two big pieces of cake and sung to him. Honestly, if you haven't been to Buca Di Beppo it is a really fun restaurant and it is worth going there just for the cake!

Afterwards we stopped by Matt and Kioko's apartment up by the U. She is 1 week away from having her baby and looks so cute! It's cute that Bryce has such fun friends. They act like they have never missed a day of seeing each other so it is always fun to get together with them.

DISCLAIMER

WARNING:
The hormones have officially kicked in. I can feel them and am extremely sensitive right now. It is a weird feeling. I almost started crying today just telling my co-workers about it. Pathetic, I know. So this is a standing apology for the next four months just in case I get a little testy or start crying on you. I'm sorry. Pray for Bryce.

A few pics of the fam

These are my cute kids waiting at the top of the stairs for their slow parents. They always run up before us and then turn around and wait. They are cute little suckers most of the time.
This is the standard belly picture. I am 22 weeks and definitely showing now. It felt like an overnight thing, that all of a sudden my co-workers were saying they could tell.

Monday the 23rd was our 2 year anniversary. We both had to work and Bryce had school until almost seven so we went to Ruby River and had an awesome dinner. Nothing too fancy.

This is a cute picture of when Bryce stayed out until 2 am hunting with Ben and then slept in for a while. Bella jumped up on the bed and was cuddling with Bryce. Cleaning up a little dog hair was worth it.

I am grateful for my cute little family that is about to add one more member in a few months.

After hours and hours of searching through online stores and going to fabric stores, this is what we finally decided on for Jayda's bedding. We found the perfect material at Sew n Save in Layton, but they didn't have it in stock and said that once it is gone it is gone. So this was second best. We are taking a chance with these three materials but I hope they work out. Our plan is for her bedding to be a little bright and a few pops of color in her room but the rest of it will be pretty neutral and plain to make the bed and the colors stand out. Hopefully soon we will have a house and a room that we can decorate and get ready for her.

Thought for the day

So these don't occur often, in fact, I don't know if I have posted any profound thoughts on the entire history of this blog, but here is what is on my mind....

I have decided to stay out of the fast lane as much as possible, especially in the drive to and from work. All it does is make me mad. No matter how fast I go there is always someone impatient that feels the need to ride my butt. I have also been flashed by brights a few times. This just makes me angry because I am not a slow driver, I am going WELL over the speed limit. I say that butt riding should be reserved for those going UNDER or at the speed limit in the fast lane, no one else deserves it, and flashing is just flat out piggish and unnecessary.

Anyways, there is my thought for the day and my new resolution to just stay out of the fast lane, even if it makes me drive a little slower than I want to. It isn't worth the stress. So there you go butt riders, you win.

One more thought....
Boo to impatient people! :(
