Baptism

Shaylee and Arianne got baptized together. It was a wonderful day and I hope they both have happy memories of it for the rest of their lives.









They were so cute together and they were both grinning from ear to ear. Grandma Sheryn and Grandma Lorna both gave great talks and helped make the day even more special.



Kate wanted me to post a picture of her cute hairdo.

Thomas!


This is Tyler at the Heber Valley Railroad where he got to ride Thomas the Train. He loved it, but it was freeeeezing!

Spring


We FINALLY got to go to the park!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carnival Birthday


Shaylee turned 8! We had a birthday carnival and thanks to Jenny, Jesse, and Matt it turned out great! They had a cotton candy maker, popcorn popper and hot dog cooker. The kids played carnival games and won tickets and at the end, they used their tickets to buy concessions and prizes. Shaylee loved it all and had a very memorable 8th birthday. She gets baptized at the end of the month with her cousin Arianne. Both girls are so excited and so are the moms!

Face painting was a hit.

Talent Show




Shaylee was in the talent show at her school. She did gymnastics with some friends to "Dynamite". They had a parents night. It was so fun and entertaining. It was the most Justin Bieber I'd heard in one night.

Disneyland



Well this is our Disneyland trip. The weather was gorgeous, there were palm trees and Jack in the Box everywhere! We didn't take Tyler with us, but he had a good time with Aunt Jayne and Grandma Sheryn. We came home to a blizzard and the house was 40 degrees! Brrrrr.
















They were filming a commercial one morning before the park opened so I snapped a pic. All the people in this photo are actors. Except for Sleeping Beauty....she's real.



Dinner at the Rainforest Cafe.





Dinner at Johnny Rockets. I love 50's diners and I miss having a Galaxy in Utah.



We stayed at the Peacock. Very cute.

Newport Beach. My favorite part of the trip. The number one most asked question on the trip? It was not "are we there yet". The girls kept asking "are there sharks?"









We stayed here at the Windam in St. George the first night. Soooo nice.




And they lived happily ever after.

Lysabeth's Favorite Things

Oprah does a show of her "favorite things" and now...I do too! So I want to share a couple of my absolute favorite things:

The 1969 Jeans from GAP




My favorite jeans! They are mid-rise, stretch denim and come in long sizes! Every pair of jeans in every store across america comes in low-rise which I hate. I don't like to exaggerate the muffin top, I like to tuck everything in. Love em.


Ballmania Lip Balm


Premium lip balm SPF-20. I found this lip balm in the gift shop at the Luxor Hotel in Vegas. It's the best lip balm in the world! It lasts all day and is pure medicine for your lips. I cannot live without it. I have to buy it on ebay now since my Vegas one ran out. Not your mama's blistex.


Katy Perry Black Shatter Nailpolish






This one is new for me. I bought some two days ago and I love it! You paint your nails any color you want, and then apply the black on top and it shatters and makes this animal print design. It really works. I'm a fan. I read a newspaper article on it a few weeks ago, about how salons can't keep it in stock since it's so popular. I can see why.


Lindor Truffles



Most delicious chocolate treat in the world. Melts in your mouth....lasts only a few minutes...cuz I eat them all!


Settlers of Catan




I love this game, but have not played it in ages. It's fun and addicting. It's like monopoly tho and takes a couple hours to play. Love it.

Wedding Present

A neighbor gave this crock pot to us for a wedding present 11 years ago. I still have it and we still use it once a week! The best wedding present to give someone. I cannot live without it.

Julie and Julia




Move over Top Gun, there's a new favorite movie of mine! I love food and Julia Child and that makes this my new favorite movie. I've tried making some of her recipes and they are amazing. Now I make my scrambled eggs Julia style.

Okay bloggers that's it! Now I want to see some of your favorite things!
