New Adventure

Kindergarten started this week!


(Details to follow when I wrap my head around it!)

Explination for me

I know the things below are repeats of what's listed on the side bar. But let's be honest, the side bar is getting a little crowded and I'm terrified that I won't get to print the side bar if I ever print my blog into a book and I wanted to make sure they were preserved for good.

I know it's been forever since we updated and there are lots of things that we need to talk about. Crazy work, Libbi turning 5, Kyle turning an age younger than me, Snowbird, Widowmaker.....the list goes on. One day soon I'll have the energy and ambition to do mass amounts of updates (again, mostly for me.)

Oh yeah.....is anybody reading this?

Hop on Over

Hey!

You there!

Are you looking for a preschool for your little one next fall.

Click HERE to see what my fabulous Mom has put together. She is currently enrolling for her 201o-2011 school year.

A Touch of Spring

Somehow I ended up slacking last fall and the last pictures I have of Libs are from a year ago. So last weekend, we headed to the local park for some fun in the sun. I think they turned out pretty good. What do you think?

Aquarium fun

Last weekend we joined Bailey at the local aquarium for Bailey's 5th birthday party. We had so much fun. Bailey's birthday is always a reality check for me because Libbi isn't that far behind her and that means my baby is growing up.

Happy 5th Birthday to Bailey!

We got to see the new penguin exibit! They were so cool!

We even had some lunch at the over crowded In and Out in Draper. So yummy! I am glad to see on in Utah! The best part about the Aquarium was petting the Sting Rays! Below are some video's of the girls petting the sting rays!

Easter Weekend at the Sand Dunes

We had the pleasure of getting to go to the Sand Dunes again this Easter weekend. LUcky for us, we planned a little better and ended up going Friday morning. As much as I missed Libbi, it was nice to not have to worry about her and to be able to ride with Kyle.

It was mostly a weekend full of fun, oh and snow, and wind and watching people get stuck in soft sand. Friday night, the wind blew all night. When we got up Saturday morning, everybody who had been sleeping in tents, I'm sure where not as happy as I was to have slept in the truck. I'm a pansy, I'll admit it. The last time we went down there, we bought an air mat for the back of the truck. I love it, I sleep so good.

Dusty and Amanda joined us for Friday night, in the wind storm but after they left, we moved our camp over to some friends of Kyles from work.

As promised for Tony, there are the videos at the bottom.

Tony and Kyle racing.

Sadly, this is not the only truck we saw get stuck.

When we woke up Saturday morning, this is what we found:

All in all, we had a great time and enjoyed all the company we had, thanks everybody for hanging out with us.

As promised, here are the videos for Tony, since Kyle won't load them on his facebook or his youtube.

Libbi's Easter Weekend

While we were off at the sand dunes enjoying the wind, snow and freezing temperatures, Libbi was spending a fun fill weekend at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Her weekend started Friday with an Easter egg hunt with the kids in my parents neighborhood.

After a fabulous Easter Egg hunt, she got to go to a play. Off to see Carly's favorite musical 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat'.

On Saturday, Libbi was so excited to go for a picnic. She got to go with my grandparents and my parents to Skull Valley to visit the house my Grandma grew up in for a family picnic.

I love this picture!

Who can have Easter without properly died Easter Eggs?

The Easter Bunny must love Libbi because he bought her lots of fun
things in her Easter basket.




At the end of all the fun at Grandma's house, the brackets for March Madness were decided. Grandpa won and Libbi....well, she got to be the biggest Loser, but she did correctly pick Butler to go all the way. I think because it was fun to say!

Libbi had lots of fun on her weekend at Grandma's. I'm grateful for my parents and their love for our daughter. Libbi loves to go to Grandma's house for sleepovers and was happy to have Kjerstin and Dan there for the weekend to help entertain her.

Just Some Thoughts

Just some thoughts from this past week.  I realize how much I like the perks of my job.  The actually work, well, that's just work.  But I work with some amazing people who have become my friends and with my job, I'm able to help out lots of people.  Sometimes it's for a quick break from reality and sometimes its because they are off to help family or friends in need.  I'm grateful that I have a job that allows me to share the best parts of it with those around me who need it.  I have made some good friends working there and I appreciate them more than they will ever know.  Leaving the hospital was hard for me because I thought it's what I always wanted to do, (not that I want to answer phones for the rest of my life) but if I hadn't been forced to find another job, I wouldn't have met the people that I did.  The good news is, for us, things feel pretty stable right now.  Kyle is loving his job, I'm loving my job and Libbi loves only having to go to daycare 2 days a week and spending the rest of the week with Grandma and Kyle.  I'm grateful to our families who help us out so that we can leave her with them instead of at daycare.  I'm looking forward to warmer days and letting Libbi play outside to get some of her endless energy out.  That's about it.  This week I'm grateful for my job, my family and the girls I work with.
