I'm doing this post every year!

Its beach season, Baby!

Here's last years :)

Morning Conversation with Riley

R: Mom, everyone at church is prettier than me

Me: what did you say??

R: I said, all my friends at church look much prettier than me, with their dresses and long hair!

Me: Riley, you are beautiful and pretty and gorgeous, and you don't ever need to think that someone is prettier than you. You are great just the way you are!

R: You mean I'm PRETTIER than everyone else?? (with a big smile)

Me: Well, lets say you are pretty JUST like everyone else is pretty.

She was OK with that.

{I must admit, my very first thought was YES, you and Chloe are the most beautiful things I have ever seen! - but not sure it would translate, should she tell her friends, don't all Mom's think their kids are the cutest?}

I swear she is a teenager wrapped in a 4 year old body.

Utah 2010

We visited St. George, Utah this April for a baby blessing of our new baby niece Emily. My parents just bought a house there too, so that was fun to be in the adorable new home they bought!

The entire family was there. It sure was a busy time, and super fun too! Here's just a little peak from our trip:

Our Easter Dresses (Taken the week before due to General Conference)

Easter Baskets from the Easter Bunny! I might phase out the Easter Bunny next year, the thought of a big ol' bunny in the house kinda freaks me out!

Jumping Jacks in St. George. Its just this big warehouse with bouncy stuff and slides, the kids had a blast!!

The kids loved playing in Jon & April's driveway with all their scooters and bikes! They were pretty much here the entire time we would be at their house! Riley and Lauren

We went to this super cool FREE water park in St. George. I am totally wishing we had one of these here. It was clean, safe, and I didn't have to get in with them! They loved it!

This is Chloe contemplating whether or not to enter...she's my scaredy cat.Aunt Traci, Mama, and Chloe

Where'd all the boys go? This is all the girl cousins (minus baby Emily)

Left to right: Camryn, Haleigh, Riley, Chloe, Lauren

We enjoyed a big picnic at this great park! You could climb the mountain in the back of us, not to mention the great play structure that was covered from the sun!
