Aunt Mindy gave us her queen bed room set!  So nice!  The dresser went to Kaitlyn, Emmy got Kaitlyn's and now the baby will have what Em's was using.  Wonderful!  The babies get to share the new bed.  It is the CUTEST thing to see these two cuties cuddled up at night.  They love their new bed!

Today we had our usual first Sunday of the month dinner at Grammy Wilson's house and we got to celebrate both Andrew's wife Cloe's birthday AND Jace's soon to be wife Kalisha.  Kurtis is going to have to marry a Texan with a "k" name and a May birthday. Love having all the family get together all the time! So wonderful!!

This morning I got to go to the cutest readers theater and mothers day breakfast Emily's class put on.  It was so sweet and I loved it! Later that afternoon Ryan took all 3 boys to the father's and son's camping trip! They had a wonderful time.  Here they are getting ready to go! The boys are soooo excited!

Julia took the girls to her ward camp out. I got to have a sleepover just me and my mom! It was heavenly! AND Mom and I got to go see Jace propose to Kalisha!!!!!  SOO awesome.  We went to the beautiful spot Jace took Kalisha on their first date and waited for them to show up. Once they were there we hid and waited and tried to take pictures for Jace when he proposed.  They were SO cute!  She didn't know that it was the night he was going to ask her and was so suprised and happy.  I love how in love they are!  So cute! Both Jace and especially Kalisha couldn't stop smiling.  I love that Jace let us be apart of his special moment!  So unfortunately my phone was being super lame and took HORRIBLE pictures. Usually it takes great ones. Not sure what happened.  These are the ones I got while he was proposing.

So sad they didn't turn out!  Afterwards Jace said come out and we got to go congratulate them! And I got a supper cute picture on Jace's phone.

Then we realized Jace forgot to put the ring on her finger so we got pictures of that.  Seriously I love these two!  Sooo adorable!!

The cool thing about this place is it's a small amphitheater so she got to hear herself say yes :)

After that Mom and I had a sleepover! It was wonderful! It's pretty rare that I get my Mom to myself and I LOVED it! Saturday the girls came home (they had a BLAST!) and Ryan and the boys came home (he was exhausted! but they also had a great time!) and we went swimming as a family.  Love family time!! 

Sunday 5/11/14

Happy Mother's Day!!  I got breakfast in bed and sung to this morning!  I love this tradition! Ryan and the kids gave/made me sweet cards, and Ryan got me chocolate covered strawberries, yum!! In sacrament meeting the kids sang to me and in Relief Society Lisa (Kalisha's mom) and I got to announce the engagement.  So fun!!

After church I went (by myself) to Mom's and got to talk to Elder Kurtis who called home.  So wonderful to hear his voice!!  Ryan stayed home with the kids so that we'd be able to actually hear Kurtis. And after that I got to go to Andrew's new house!  Such a wonderful and much needed great weekend! Feeling special and loved!

So frustrating.  Today I backed into our mailbox.  Our brick mail box.  Sigh.  I so understand now why people say driving tired is the same as driving drunk.  I was backing up and looking in my rear view mirror thinking, that's weird the mailbox is supper close but the back up beeper isn't going off. And then I just slowly kept backing up and sure enough I hit it.  It's so weird how slowly it went in my head.  I definetly need more sleep!  Going to start tonight!  Lucky for me Ryan found the parts online for really cheap beacuse we can't afford anything right now!

My lovely work

Also, I'm married to an amazing man. He didn't get mad, he just went to work fixing it.  It was wonderful because I was already pretty mad at myself!

We've been taking family walks in the evening after dinner.  Everyone really looks forward to it and we are enjoying the family time.  Tonight Brayden decided he was bringing the scooter.  He is hilarious on there.  I hope I always remember this. I just LOVE our family walks!

The Orr's live a few streets down and we LOVE their family and a lot of the time we walk by their home.  The kids ALWAYS ask to stop and say hi.  Occasionally we say yes.  This night they invited us in and we ended up hanging out for an hour or so.  Such a great family!! Logan wanted a picture with Brother Orr.  SO glad we moved into this neighborhood!

Such a fun day today!! Woke up early and went to our ward 5k and breakfast this morning. My parents and sisters got to come. They rock!! We had so much fun. Then we took the kids to see the Lego Movie at the $1 theater. And tonight I met up with mom, just me and her to grocery shop and then talked in the parking lot for a good two hours  I love my mom! Perfect day, family, fun, and more family!!

I had such a fun night tonight!! We sang karaoke at a friends house. I spent most of the evening laughing. So needed and wonderful! Thanks Kerry Miller Tegerdine!

Ryan and I sang a duet (Earls gotta die) and Ryan sang this song.  Loved it!
