4 months..... is that how often I should "journal/blog?"

Well, It is now June 27th....... 4 almost 5 months later!! I really stink at this! But I'm sure it will be worth it in the end if I just keep on plugging away and keep trying to catch up.

Let me see??? March?? I can't really remember anything toooo exciting in March - except for Leprechauns of course - we did get visited by the Leprechauns!

Leprechauns brought lots of "green stuff" and left cute shirts to wear. We also loved the green pancakes!

Okay so April??? OH!! How could I forget? In April, Matt and I flew to Boston so that my studly man - who is toooo cool for words could run the Boston Marathon. He qualified a year earlier in St. George. It is NO EASY feat to qualify for that run. He had to finish a marathon (26.2 miles) within 3 hours and 10 minutes - which means he is hauling , the entire race. Boston was a BLAST!!! I loved the city!! Just even watching the race was AMAZING!! Gives me chills to even think about it! I am still trying to qualify - but not sure if I'll ever be able to make it??
April also brought a really fun Easter!! The Easter Bunny surprised us by coming the night before Easter. We came home from renting movie... all the lights were out, and a note was left on the door - along with some special flashlights. The Easter bunny had hidden some glow in the dark eggs for us to find. We searched the dark house with flashlights to find all of our eggs. It was a fun night! The kids all found a basket with some extra prizes in it. It was kinda nice to do Easter the night before - that way on Easter Sunday we were able to focus on the true meaning of Easter. It was a weekend to remember!





This is Easter Morning in Herriman Cove - The boys looked sooo cute in their new shirts and ties. I am such a lucky Mom - I have 4 of the Greatest guys in my life!!!


Okay, enough catch up for today - I will try to finish up with May and June tomorrow - then as promised before........ will vow to do better (lol).

Happy New Year.... AND.... Happy Valentines?




Okay... I guess it is time for my monthly(or every other monthly?) update I have/HAD great intentions for this little "blog" of mine...... maybe some day I will get with it!! I am not scrap booking, or journaling our life events - so I really feel the need to jot down some of our fun (and not so fun) moments.

January was a BLAST!! waaaay better than last year! We had a nice quiet New Years - THANKS to Tara (ha ha). We were supposed to go to a rockin party at her house, but she slipped and fell the day before and broke her leg in 6 different places...... she spent her New Years Eve in the hospital getting surgery - no fun for her - so we had our own New Years Party with our awesome little family.


The boys were off track, so we spent some fun time together. Matt and I decided on a last minute get away - so we drove to St. George and ran our favorite 1/2 marathon, and the boys ran a 5k with Grandma Vickie.... Thanks Vickie!! (Fawntell - one of very BEST friends Mom). It was beautiful weather and we had a really great time. We then journeyed down to Diane and Allan (my sister)'s house in California where we left the kids for the week while Matt and I went on a short little Cruise. It was such a BLAST!!! We just relaxed and took it easy for 4 full days.......It was so much fun.... we didn't do ANYTHING - but sit around, order room service, watch T.V. and read - it was a great trip and such a great time to reconnect with my cute hubby!!

So.... we started of 2009 pretty nicely...... well except for the fact that on our way home our car broke down and it cost $750 smackers to get it back on the road again that stunk, but all in all pretty nice start. We are SURE 2009 will be a better year for our gang!!

As for February - pretty quiet - kids went back on track, Matt is working hard!! We had a fun Valentines Day! OH and we Finally and I mean FINALLY went skiing. Helllooooo we live in Utah - I hate the snow, the only reason snow is good, is for skiing.... AND WE HAVE NEVER TAKEN OUR KIDS???? We just bit the bullet and forked out the cash and finally took the kids to Beaver Mtn. We signed them up for a small lesson and away they went. We had a BLAST!! But I am the loser Mom and stinkin forgot my camera. Not happy about that! But we will go again, and I will for sure get some good picts.

I can not believe it is already going to be March???? We woke up to snow this morning, so it doesn't feel like spring yet.... but I am getting really excited for it to feel like spring!!! Whew... I think I caught us up. I'm sure I forgot some exciting things, but for now I will be happy about this - and just "vow" (again) to be better!
