WARNING! Blog Blowout!

Okay, I have been slacking off lately, so I have a ton of posts to do...here is the start of them. I totally understand if you need to start fresh with me and just read from here on out, but I hope to be back on track, it stinks to be behind!

WICKED!

I made it!! I finally got to see Wicked! My only regret is that I did not buy another ticket to go see it again! It was amazing! My friend Dawn told me that when she saw it for the first time she cried at intermission because she knew that it was half over. My Aunt told me the First time she saw it after it was over she wanted to walk right back in the theater and see it again. I thought these ladies were crazy, but now I know, I cried at intermission and I wanted to stay in my seat for the next performance.
I guess I will just have to talk Aaron into going to LA to see it with me! I went with My Mom, Aunt and Sister. We made a day of it. We went to lunch at the Garden Restaurant for lunch and had the best view of Temple square.
The food was good and we had a great time laughing and talking together. This is My Aunt Bev and Sister Amanda...Don't they look good? (Thanks Claudia!) After the play we went to the Melting Pot for dessert, yummy! We walked all around downtown, my mom has the blisters to prove it. It was a great day and I can not wait to do it again!

EASTER!!

Easter is in full swing at our house. The Easter bunny arrived with baskets full of candy for everyone! Checkin' out the Loot! Emilee lined all of her Easter pink and purple Easter eggs up..."they're her favorite."This is best Easter Sunday Picture I could get out of them. Sorry. They both looked so cute in their new Easter clothes. This year we tried to get them to understand the true meaning of Easter. I don't know if they got it or not. We tried to tell them the story, but in the end the message just had to be that we celebrate Easter because Jesus loves us. And if that is all they get from it this year, that is good enough for me.

Happy Birthday Emilee!

Phew! We made it, we are passed the terrible two's and into the terrific three's...right? (Okay don't pop my bubble, her drama has to get better eventually!)

Emilee Turned Three on April 5th. It was pretty low key this year. On Saturday Grandma, Aunt Bev, Aunt Amanda, Mom and Emilee all went to get pedicures. It was so cute. Emilee was the star of the salon! She was right in her element, that is being waited on hand AND foot! After the pedi's we headed to the Pizza Factory for lunch. It was a fun day! My mom took lots of pictures so I will get them from her and post them.
Sunday Grandma Linda came down for dinner and we had cake and Ice cream. The favorite gift this year? The makeup case from Aunt Amanda and Grandma Jane. She is constantly doing her makeup. Now I have to give her the once over before we head out the door because when she does her own makeup it looks like she has a black eye. (Okay, I guess that is not far from how I do my own make up but she is two, I mean three.)

All I can say is Amanda wait until you have kids...I am going to find the messiest loudest toy for your kiddos!!

Happy Birthday Miss Emilee! We love you!
