My new niece! I'm a little jealous that Carlee got to have her baby first, but hopefully mine is not too far behind. She is a cutie!

Our Hole

(Blurry picture of our family in front of our hole)

We are finally buying(building) a house! I will admit that the idea of becoming a permanent Utahn has not sat right with me up until now, but everything has worked out so perfectly with Scott getting a job here and the whole buying a house thing falling into place, that I know this is where we are meant to be. I guess owning a piece of the state makes me an official resident, scary!

This year has already been crazy with the new job, and a new house, and a new little kid coming in just a few weeks! It's a little overwhelming. We are set to close 2 days after my due date. If you want to come over and move all our stuff for us I would appreciate it. Really.

I know, I know

No picture filled update here, but a nice little announcement:

We are once again adding another little monster to the group! We are all very excited to add this newest model to the mix since the current ones are getting so big. It looks like our little tie breaker will be turning the tides of the household BLUE!

This sweet little boy will arrive in April!

Our summer is BETTER than yours...

We are BUSY this summer! We've done way too many fun things and I don't feel like sorting through all my pictures at the moment. Aren't you jealous? Maybe I'll post later...

Tale As Old As Time...

We have an outdoor theater by our house that does such fun plays. This month was Beauty and the Beast, how could we skip it? We made it a girls night since 4 of my girl cousins were staying with my parents for the week, and Dylan somehow got to come too. We sat on blankets and ate candy(my favorite part) It was raining, but we're brave and it wasn't too cold.

Bailee's favorite character was not Belle, or the Beast, or any of the other lovable characters. It was Gaston. The whole time she kept saying "Gaston is handsome. He is sooo handsome. He's wearing such a handsome shirt too. I like his muscles." So afterward I had to DRAG her to go see him because "He makes me feel really shy, Mom." But she was really excited that he asked her to show him her muscles and she got to take a picture with him. She likes the bad boys.

For some reason these are the only pictures I took, but it's about quality, not quantity, right? The one of my mom makes up for the ones I didn't take.

Outfit of the Day

She's going through phase. I think the princess crown really adds that extra little something special to the ensamble. She was dead set on wearing this to school the next day too. And isn't Jackson looking studly in the background in neon orange and green? He might have dressed himself too. I'm pretty sure the staff at 31 Flavors now knows that the D family can bring it.

The Drawer

There is a drawer in my kitchen that is currently full to capacity. This drawer beckons to me daily with its siren call. This drawer wants me to gain 10 pounds. This drawer is also out to get my children. It bestows upon them perpetually sticky hands and psychotic sugar rushes.

Should this drawer be destroyed? Yes. Will I be the one with the strength to do it? Only time will tell.

Notice the grabby little hand trying to sneak some while I'm distracted.

Two posts in one day is a miracle

Easter! Need I say more? I'm horrible at taking pictures- I just want to enjoy the moment. And it's impossible to get my kids to pose so I've pretty much given up.

The ward Easter party- I told you these pictures would be amazing

Easter egg coloring:

Easter mornin':

They were so cute in their church clothes, and I didn't get any GOOD pictures. Seriously, Bailee's hair was UH-mazing, I spent a half hour on it.
G-ma and G-pa's house. The quality of these pictures blows my mind

This one was just too cute. Watching tv after a long day of hunting for eggs

Card Club

A bunch of my friends from high school get together once a month for dinner(we used to make cards to exchange every month, but that was too much work, and eating is better anyway) This was the first time that I could make it in a while, but almost everyone was out of town, so it just ended up being me and two of my favorites, Mindy and Emily. It was so fun to get together and catch up. We ended up sitting at our table for about 2 hours after we finished eating. I'm pretty sure Olive Garden hates us now, but it was worth it. I can't wait for next month, it will be a miracle if make it two months in a row!

I thought we were cool

I never write about TV shows. Never. I don't care enough. This is different. If I didn't have the evidence sitting on my couch right now that there are some decent guys in the world, I would probably shoot myself. That's all I can say for now. What a jerk.
