SPRING BREAK!

Flying kites and fun at the park!

We went to Battle of the bands at UVU where are friends in The Market won 1st place! She wanted to touch the wolverine's teeth. Jake totally made her jump with a growl while she was going in for the touch!

We asked Lyndi to do the rock on sign and this is what we got... love it!

Hide and seek with Aunt Angie!

See the bubble wand up in the air? She likes to do bubbles with gusto!

Home made bubbles are the best. Don't know who had more fun though, Jake or the kids!

Took the 4wheeler for a ride around Gramma Mac's backyard. They chased Lucky in circles and laughed and laughed.

Made creme brule and chocolate pot de creme for my dad's Birthday. We put whip cream, strawberries, raspberries, and cramel sauce but ate them before I thought to take a prettier picture.

Our weekend project!

The Masquerade

We had a Masquerade ball with dinner dancing and games and it was sooooo fun! Everyone had to make a mask and we had prizes for the top5 winners. There are a lot more pics on facebook. Thanks to all who participated!

I thought this was so cute, Jake fell asleep in the car so Lyndi just reached over and held his hand! I love those two!

End result

1st time in curlers

Dixie Chicks

My friend Brandi just had her 3rd little one blessed last Sunday. We went out to SLC for it and got catch up with her and my good friend Jessi May and some of the other girls I met through those two at Dixie College. It was so much fun and I love seeing old friends. Lyndi also fell in love with the cat and their dog (she was convinced it was Balto from the animated kids show)

Classic FUN!

So the other night I had a bridal shower and Jake took Lyndi to Classic Skating for her Uncle Isaac's school night. Grandma Mac went with and I think they had so much fun. They had a little blow up slide there, that sounded like it was the favorite. Isaac was working it during the snowball (they put their hand out and if some one touches it they hold hands for the song and skate around with eachother). We are so lucky to have such loving and supportive families! We love being so close.

Valentines fun and more!

My cute husband suprised me with a free little trip to his parents condo. He even rented some chickflicks and had everything packed and meals planned to cook there. It was the break we've needed for a while and a dream come true! Later the next day he went and picked up Lyndi while he let me take a nap and then we got in the hot tub and watched a kids movie and then had a fun sleep over with all of us! We had so much fun I just never wanted it to end. Then my cute friend Michelle had an awesome themed "Mustache Party" for her birthday. So that will explain the ugly facial hair in the other pics. She even made mustache shaped chocolate and peanut butter suckers. We had a blast and it was fun to see some people I hadn't seen in a while. I took a sucker home from Lyndi and just thought it was so cute on her!

The last weekend with Ryan : (

So My little brother Ryan just left for the MTC to serve an LDS mission for two years in Halifax Canada. It's been a bitter sweet experience in that I am so proud of him and know that what he is going to share with the people of Canada is a priceless gift, but I also miss him very much and can't believe I won't be able to see him for 2 years. We tried to pack in as much family fun as possible with him before he left and definitely made some good memories. These pictures are all from the night he was set apart to be a missionary. We had some little smokies with the bacon wrapped around them and the brown sugar sauce, then headed over to the church- it was a really neat experience to be there for. The only thing that was super embarrassing was that Lyndi hit the Stake president in the face (he's also my boss) when he said hi to her (I just about died). When we got home we had some birthday cake since it was my little bro Hyrum's 13th b-day the 19th. Then because my dad was bald in all of our last family pictures we tried to get some before Ryan left. Don't worry we were trying to get a toddler to behave for pictures at 11:30 pm. Through all the craziness we still had allot of fun and I love my crazy big family. You'd think it wouldn't be weird missing a couple with such a big group but we all notice it for sure.
