Swim Time!

The ModBe swimsuits are so stinkin' cute this year...I love them all! They have 20 tops total and a bunch of bottoms and skirts. I think I am going to do a party here in Vegas when I get back from Utah! I am so excited! Check them out and get ready for summer!

Mitt's Out

Too bad :( I wish that Mitt would have done better in Super Tuesday and was able to stay in the race. I just watched his speech where he suspended his campaign. It is going to be a very interesting general election. McCain versus Clinton?!?...I don't know if I will be voting this year.

Our Big Weekend...

My friend Rachel and I decided to do a kid swap so we could go on dates with our husbands. This weekend worked out perfect! They went out on Friday night and we went out tonight.

It was fun to have Annie at our house. She is so dang cute! At first she was a little shy but she warmed up after a while and played great with the boys. My kids of course were being crazy and Ryan was making them laugh so hard. This video is funny, Annie is watching from a distance a little unsure. Pause my music at the bottom to get the full effect of the boys laughing! Please excuse the boys outfits or the lack thereof.

We had a fun night tonight. It was so nice to be able to have a quiet dinner with my husband without our kids. (thanks again Mike and Rach) We went to Claim Jumper and it was so yummy! After dinner we went bowling at Sunset Station. Okay words cannot explain how bad I was. I have not been bowling for like 3 years and I was horrible. It was embarrasing. I think my final score was a 51. These pictures say it all. The first is of me realizing how bad I am. The second is of Ryan after a strike!

Worth Watching

I stole this from my friend Jaime but it is so neat I thought I would share it. I bawled my eyes out so good luck keep a dry eye. Make sure you pause my music at the bottom so you can hear the song playing on the slideshow.
We love you President Hinckley!

What A Night

It all started when Easton fell down the stairs this afternoon. Both of the boys are pretty good about turning around and sliding backwards but I guess that today he thought he could walk down?!? It was down hill from there for poor Easton. Tonight I was upstairs and Ryan started yelling for me. I came running downstairs to Easton bleeding from his mouth. He was walking around with his sippy cup, the kind with the straw, he is still a little unsteady on his feet and he fell and sliced the inside of his lip open. Poor kid. I was freaking out because of course I thought it needed stitches and he was crying so hard. We got the bleeding stopped and calmed him down and he was okay. He has fallen two more times since then and split that same spot open and it has started to bleed each time.

I keep telling Ryan the poor kid is going to have brain damage cause when he falls he doesn't try to catch himself with his hands, he falls straight on his head. He has bruises all across his forehead. Seriously I don't know what I am going to do with him.

Brady has been in trouble today for hitting his brother so he has spent a lot of time in time out. It doesn't work very well because every time I put him in the corner Easton runs over and sits next to him. Ryan says it is the cutest thing he has ever seen. I ran over and took this picture of them in the corner tonight (this is the 4th time he has done it today). So much for a punishment.

Shoes We Love...

My friend Whitney introduced us to these shoes. The website is chinadirectstore.com. Click on "squeeky shoes for children". This website has squeeky shoes for a great price. If you don't like the squeeker you can take it out and they are still great shoes. We have loved these and the boys wear them all the time. We got 2 pairs and 1 ended up being too small and the company has been great to work with and is letting me send them back and get the ones I want. If you are in the market for new shoes for your kids I would highly reommend these ones.

In Loving Memory...

I am still having a hard time believing the sad news my mom called me with a few hours ago. I don't know if it will really sink in until we watch April conference and he is not there. I am feeling very sad tonight. President Hinckley was an amazing man and left behind a wonderful legacy. I feel like he has been the prophet my whole life, at least as long as I have been old enough to remember. He did so many wonderful things for The Church. I know that a wonderful reunion is going on in Heaven right now, not only with his wife but with so many who are grateful for all that he has done. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten.
