Happy Easter

We had a fun Easter weekend! Saturday we went to Jake's sister Jodi's house and had an Easter egg hunt and a yummy lunch with the Smith cousins. The girls Loved the egg hunt and got WAY too much candy! On Easter Sunday we enjoyed a quiet day dressing the girls in their Easter dresses...Thanks Grandma Smith (which we never got a good picture of!) going to church and having dinner with my brother Tanner and one of his friends.

To celebrate Jake's 32nd birthday we got to go out to dinner with some of his siblings and his Mom at Harvest at Thanksgiving Point. It was So Yummy and so fun to go out with everyone without any kids...except for brand new baby Kylie (12 days old!) Thanks for a great time guys!

Blowing out the candles with lots of helpers!
Happy Birthday Jake
We love you!

Bath Time Fun


We got the girls some Bathtub Color Tints from Crayola as stocking stuffers at Christmas. I was afraid to use them because I thought that it would surely dye the tub, the girls hair, towels or something a weird color. I finally decided to give them a try because my girls love having fun bath times but bubbles kinda drive me nuts cause I can never get them all the off. Anyways the worked great! It was to funny to see their faces the first time they saw the colored water and Gracie didn't even want to get in, but now they love it! And amazingly enough it didn't dye anything a different color!
*they do dye your fingers if you pick up the little tablets with wet fingers...but once they're in the water there isn't any problem!

Worst Hair Cut Ever!

So the other day I was desperate to get my hair cut but I didn't want to spend a ton of money to do it, however, I also didn't want to go to some cheapy place either(sorry I just don't trust people there unless I know them!) So I decided to go to the Crazy Daisy here in Santaquin since they were kinda in the middle. Well the name should have given it away...I went in thinking my hair needed to be cut so bad that anything they do would be better than how it already looked...I was wrong! I'll let the pictures speak for themselves...

HELLO!! Have you ever seen such an awful job! I look like a 5 year old that got a hold of some scissors and cut my own hair! It's so bad that when I got home I completely skipped the crying phase and just started laughing. Even Jake, who normally would never say anything negative about the way I look, could only stare and laugh when he saw it. And it's not just the bangs that are bad... I've got these weird side layers that make me look like I'm in some 80's rock band too! So there you go have a good laugh with me and don't bother telling me they don't look that bad cause the pictures don't even really do it justice! Needless to say I'll be pinning my bangs back for awhile until they grow back:( Anyone else have any good bad hair cut stories to top mine?

Spring Fever

I don't think I've ever been so ready for spring to come. We've tried a few times to go play in the snow but between the snow being to deep for the girls to walk in and the mud underneath the snow (ugh I can't wail until we have grass!!!) making a HUGE mess we are pretty much stuck indoors:( So it was a nice treat to receive these springing flowers yesterday (they were suppose to come Valentines Day...long story!) from Jake! I find myself just staring at them imagining what warm dry weather feels like!:) Is anyone else ready for spring? What do you do to entertain your kids indoors... I'm out of ideas!

Milestones and Marshmallows

Well I'm sick of looking at my Valentine Dinner but don't have much to blog about so this is what I came up with! This is our cutie pie Brynlee who is in charge of the "milestones" portion of this post. I am happy to announce that Brynlee is officially a nursery goer and both she and I are very happy about it!:) She did fabulous, she took Gracie's hand and walked right in and didn't even flinch when we left her there. Truth be told it made me a little sad that she didn't care that I left:( but I guess I can't complain! This is the first time in over 2 and a half years that I've actually been able to sit and Listen in Relief Society and Sunday School! Yay!

As for the Marshmallows... you'll have to check out this link! I saw it on the Ellen show awhile back and I couldn't believe how hard I was laughing sitting there all by myself! So if you need a good laugh check it out!

Marshmallow Game

Okay so the link doesn't work...sorry! I can't seem to figure out how to put YouTube movies into my post...anyone know how? Anyways if you go to YouTube and put "funny Japanese game show - marshmallow eating" in the search box you'll be able to watch the video...it's pretty darn funny!
