April!

April was way fun! The weather started to get a little better so we went outside more.

Went to the Zoo up in SLC. Its small and a really good size for taking small kids. The giraffe house SMELLS though. As Elaine illustrates here.

Adele didn't mind as much. lol

Elaine's FAVORITE animal, the Elephant. It was cool to watch them eat their hay.

Adele bonded with this monkey... I believe he thinks he found a kindred spirit. She is a monkey thats for sure!

Adele and Lainey had fun dressing up..hehehe

We took the kids to see how high the river was in Provo. I love this picture!

Elaine wasn't a huge fan of this spot.

We had Easter! And got all fancy for church.

Seth worked on his body building skills. This was the closest thing he could find to a dumbbell.

Matt took the girls to see Uncle Meredith perform. They were SO thrilled to go :)

Elaine LOVES her Grandma

March 2009

March! March is my little nephew Michaels birthday! And week after that is my Mom's bday! I love having a birthday so close to my mom's. Our birthdays are exactly 2 weeks apart. Its always been fun. I can't wait for next years BIG birthdays :)


Seth...seth seth seth. He found my MAC lipstick. It looked like blood. He's lucky it isn't blood. Very lucky.
Seperate incident...he fell and bashed his forehead. See that big mark at the top of his forehead? My poor little guy. He barely cried though.

We also had a fun little family trip in March. Well really it was Matt going to a work conference in St. George. We decided to tag along. We went with two other families who's dads work with matt too. We had a BLAST it was pretty insane taking 8 LITTLE kids shopping at the outlets though!

The kids LOVED staying at the hotel. This is how they chilled watching T.V. Seth cannot be trusted to sleep with the girls so he had his pack n play.

When we got home we had lovely snow to deal with. The girls LOVED it but I passed and stayed nice and warm inside.

I love this picture. These two adore eachother. You can see it clearly in this picture.

And Elaine...with her sleeping :)

OH and i forgot to add too! The trip to St. George was EXTRA fun because instead of staying our last night in St. George on friday we left right after the conference drove to Southern CA. and went to Disneyland!!! It was so so sooo fun! Matt suprised us and it was just amazing :) I'm a lucky gal :)

February 2009

February! It was lovely, it was COLD! :)

For Valentine's day I made this cake, Tunnel of Fudge. Matt made this AMAZING dinner and even bbq'd out in the snow for me to make it. He is so wonderful :)
My birthday cake....yeah thanks baskin robbins. I see you really thought out your presentation. Oh well it tasted good. Not as yummy as it would of tasted in CA but still good. (california baskin robbins use this DELICIOUS ice cream frosting that they don't make in Utah because they are lame) OH...and I turned 29. :P

Elaine was enthrawled with President Obama. Seriousy Curious George ended he came on and she ran over yelling OBAMA OBAMA and sat like this. It cracked us up!

Adele continued her practice of becoming the best model. She's getting pretty good at the poses. lol

Elaine discovered she can make a HUGE E on the fridge, even if the Letter E is missing :)

Seth continued his journey into the style of his sisters dress up clothes.

January 2009

Well, i'm SO SO behind that I figured i'd just do MONTHS. So each post will be a month until we get to October. Let's see if I can atleast do THAT :P SO in January of 2009...


In January..I had long hair! And Matt and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary! 10 YEARS. So in another 8 years i'll actually be with Matthew longer than i've been alive without him. For our anniversary we went to SLC had a nice dinner and went to the symphony. Then we spent the night in this cute little hotel in downtown SLC. It was very lovely :)
Elaine mastered the art of falling asleep. anywhere.

Seth tried out his sisters tutu. He was more of a fan when it was in "cape mode" instead of around his waist.

Adele almost froze to death playing in the snow on the way home from school. (she didn't even button her jacket!!)

But she didn't seem to mind. She was having just a LITTLE bit too much fun to notice :)

Elaine got into some educational computer games.

She also was obsessed with wearing Adele's gloves. (or glubb's if you ask her)

Adele wouldn't take off the scarf i made her for Christmas.

We had a TON of fun when my brother and his wife came to visit Utah! My kids were in HEAVEN. We went as a large group to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving point. My kids never get sick of that place. They LOVE IT!

Having fun with the cousins at the museum

Daddy and Seth had fun...no really Seth did have fun..he was just inbetween smiles when this pic was taken. lol

Adele and her 2 closest cousins. They were all born in a 4 week period. Adele is the youngest. They ADORE eachother and I just LOVE it! :)
