Easter

We had an Easter dinner with Bears mom, grandma, brother, and sis in law on Saturday night. We had my favorite Steak and potatoes. It was fun having them over and just hanging out. We haven't seen them since his brother got married in December!! Bears mom usually brings some kind of activity for us to do at gatherings so this year we got to make Easter baskets for eachother and she brought over all different kinds of things to put in them along with cute Easter baskets. I didn't get that many pictures but here are the few I got...

On Sunday we went over to my parents house for dinner. It was fun having the whole family over since its been about 4 years the last time we were all together for a holiday!

I am going to be.....

An aunt!! As I am very excited for my sister inside I can't help to be a little sad...someday it will be our turn I guess just not right now and I have to keep telling myself that so I don't lose all hope!



I was able to go with her to her 1st doctor appt and that made me happy that she wanted me there :] We got to hear the heartbeat and see the little guy moving around everywhere! This is the first baby on our side and it will be way fun to have a little baby around to play with and spoil!! He/She is expected to arrive on Sept 30!! these are happy tears...

Hitched

Last weekend was my sister Elaine's wedding! She married a good guy *Shane* and he fits in our family perfectly! Their story : They went to grade school together and he really like my sister but she didn't like him at all so after they graduated 8Th grade they didn't talk to each other ever again. Then when she moved back from Missouri last year they came in contact again from another friend that they went to grade school with and started hanging out. When they started hanging out again Shane told his feelings to her and she said I only like you as a friend. But after hanging out with him everyday something obviously grew between them and then started dating. And a year later they got married! We love Shane and we are so happy that they are together and happy that he is part of our family!!

Congrats to Joey!

Congrats to my younger brother Joey! He got accepted into BYU-Idaho! He has been working really hard to achieve this and I am so glad that he did! All his hard work finally paid off.....

Who Should Win!?

I am waiting for Bear to come home from class and I need to fold 2 weeks of laundry but I just wanted to do a quick post about the bachelor! I have been watching this every Monday @ 7 pm and have made sure not to miss it! I know, I need a life! But anyways...I have stuck with Melissa the whole way and I am way excited that she is in the final 2! I think she is way cute and has a fun personality! Molly on the other hand I am not a fan of. To me she just seems fake. But what do I know! If you watch this show, who do you want to end up with Jason?

Moms

I got this in a email and thought it was so cute!!
WHY GOD MADE MOMS Answers given by 2nd grade school children to the following questions:

1. She's the only one who knows where the scotch tape is.
2. Mostly to clean the house.
3. To help us out of there when we were getting born.

How did God make mothers?
1. He used dirt, just like for the rest of us.
2. Magic plus super powers and a lot of stirring.
3. God made my Mom just the same like he made me. He just used bigger parts.

What ingredients are mothers made of ?
1. God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair and everything nice in the world and one dab of mean.
2. They had to get their start from men's bones. Then they mostly use string, I think.

Why did God give you your mother and not some other mom?
1. We're related.
2. God knew she likes me a lot more than other people's moms like me.

What kind of little girl was your mom?
1. My Mom has always been my mom and none of that other stuff.
2. I don't know because I wasn't there, but my guess would be pretty bossy.
3. They say she used to be nice.

What did Mom need to know about dad before she married him?
1. His last name.
2. She had to know his background. Like is he a crook? Does he get drunk on beer?
3. Does he make at least $800 a year? Did he say NO to drugs and YES to chores?

Why did your mom marry your dad?
1. My dad makes the best spaghetti in the world. And my Mom eats a lot.
2 She got too old to do anything else with him.
3. My grandma says that Mom didn't have her thinking cap on.

Who's the boss at your house?
1. Mom doesn't want to be boss, but she has to because dad's such a goof ball.
2. Mom. You can tell by room inspection. She sees the stuff under the bed.
3. I guess Mom is, but only because she has a lot more to do than dad.

What's the difference between moms & dads?
1. Moms work at work and work at home and dads just go to work at work.
2. Moms know how to talk to teachers without scaring them.
3. Dads are taller & stronger, but moms have all the real power 'cause that's who you got to ask if you want to sleep over at your friend's.
4. Moms have magic, they make you feel better without medicine.

What does your mom do in her spare time?
1. Mothers don't do spare time.
2. To hear her tell it, she pays bills all day long.

What would it take to make your mom perfect?
1. On the inside she's already perfect. Outside, I think some kind of plastic surgery.
2. Diet. You know, her hair. I'd diet, maybe blue.

If you could change one thing about your mom, what would it be?
1. She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean. I'd get rid of that.
2. I'd make my mom smarter. Then she would know it was my sister who did it and not me.
3. I would like for her to get rid of those invisible eyes on the back of her head.

Love Day

A couple of days before Valentine's Day my mom asked if she could have a key to our house for whatever reason she told me...I figured it was something to do with Valentines Day but acted like I didn't know why. So on Valentines Day I got my hair done and ran a few errands. My mom's plan was to not have Bear or I home while she was getting things together, but she ran out of time so she said that I could come and help her with what she was doing. When she came to our house I opened up the door and she had a dinner all ready and made for Bear & I to enjoy! I thought it was the cutest thing!! She made us a chicken dinner with mashed potatoes (our favorite), green beans, and chocolate covered strawberries!!! I love my mom and thought it was the sweetest thing ever!

I love my mom

Simple and sweet!

And after dinner we went with our friends to the movies....Every year we go to the movies on Valentines Day. This year was Bears pick since last year I picked the chick flick....We went and saw

I didn't think I was going to like it but I actually enjoyed this movie!

Change

I decided to go back to blonde....well just the top section of my hair is very blonde. I really like it but just have to get used to it again! Bears reaction: "WOW! Its different!" I am not sure which way to take that but hopefully its a good WOW! :]
