1 more cake

I had a friend who said she was done with making cakes because of the time commitment and having a young family etc., then I kept seeing all these cakes she kept making. And if you see my disclaimer on my last wedding cake, I was done for awhile too. BUT... it's pretty theraputic, and my visiting teacher needed one for her grandson's 12th birthday today, (and I could use a little spending $ for this weekend in Vegas) SO:

Another FUN day OFF!



Not only do the kids get a WHOLE week off for Spring Break, but they get Friday and Monday over Easter. On top of already having short days EVERY Friday! Geez! I think we had to go to school something like 8 days a week! ;) So today Michael got to spend his day off biking through Zion Canyon with Aunt Julie and her friend Sunny. Something I've always wanted to do but haven't found the time yet. I'll probably have to take the bike trailer out and just do it! :)

Sunday outting

I get cabin fever really easy... so I don't love Sunday afternoons just laying around the house. What can I say, I'm a goer and a doer. So when Daniel and Michael got home from their scout campout on Saturday and promised to take us out to Gunlock because the falls were flowing and it's really cool, I was SO excited! Of course, in my current condition I had to lay down for a little nap right after church, but we eventually made it out there! :) The water was cold but refreshing and it was about 82 degrees with some cloud coverage so it was perfect.

I'm going to Jump'n Jacks for my birthday!


3 years ago Miss Mya was born. And for the past 3 months she's been telling us, "I'm going to Jump'n Jacks for my birthday" I don't think she realized there would even be friends and presents and a party! :)
Michael and Haleigh and Autumn and Austin even got to come to play with all the "little kids"
No way was this prego lady climbing up there!
After tons of fun at Jump'n Jacks we came home and had a BBQ and banana cake, presents, etc. Then off to Michael's baseball game. It was a little stormy, but only sprinkled on us. Mya didn't notice... she slept on dad's lap during the whole game. :)
Happy Birthday Mya!

A morning with Jen

My mom had a meeting this morning so my aunt Jen hung out with me. She gave me my FIRST french braids... don't I look SO grown up and cute?

 AND... she took me to the duck pond in the wagon to feed the ducks! All that fun made me have to go potty so Jen got a work out "running" me back home (almost 2 miles) luckily we made it!
 Thanks for the fun morning Jen!

SHAC TRI 2011

 The kids participated in the SHAC tri again today. They love it. McKenna joined the fun for her 2nd go around and we're pretty sure she won! Autumn had another knee surgery last year and has been cleared to have some fun now... so she was able to partake of the triathlon fun too. They all had a blast. Like always, I was left wishing I was out there with them. My friend Rachel did this one with me one year when she was pregnant... but I'm older and wiser than her and played my pregnancy card against this one. :)
 Of course Haleigh stops mid swim for a photo opp! :) Silly girl... it's a RACE!!



Even Miss Mya got a 3 on her arm... since that's what she's gonna be THIS WEEK!
