I just got back from the store and I had to have this be the first pic I post! Abbie is so funny.. I was buying some treats for conference weekend and she had to hold onto both root beers the entire time we were at the store and not to mention her leg was also kicked up the whole time!! When I went to check out she threw a fit when I took the root beers from her. She already knows the good stuff!!

SPRING TIME = BUSY TIME

Project #1: Justin and Abbie getting the side field ready for garden time .. hopefully we do better this year ;)
Project #2: We finally got some crusher fines to line the side of our house b/c our crazy dog has made a "great" running path that has no hope for any grass growing.


Project #3: Justin decided to dig the well deeper so that we would have more pressure when we irrigated.... and I think he wanted a happy wife b/c before it would take me ALL DAY to irrigate our lawns and garden... but not anymore:)


I'm not too sure what was happening here, but it was pretty neat seeing all that water shoot out of the well!

Project #4: Pouring a Patio!!! YEA!!! I have been wanting to do this since we moved in!!
It is so nice to have such great friends and family. We have had so much help with all our craziness!! Todd came down and helped us stamp the patio, it turned out really cool.. I'm excited!!
I thought this pic was kinda funny... I caught Justin watching Todd work, Todd with the "plumbers crack" and Kenzi walking on the new concrete! Just don't look too close at my ugly shed and dieing grass. Our house and yard is definitely a work in progress!!


The PBR came to town so of-course we had to go.. not only once but twice!! The first night Justin came late b/c he was conducting at a baptism.. hence the white shirt. He definitely looked out of place!! So since he didn't get to watch ALL of it we had to go back the next day.. but I have to say it was pretty fun! (Oh- for those of you that don't know what the PBR is it is professional bull ridding.. I didn't know until i married Justin)


Abbie especially loved it because her now favorite aunt Myka shared her chocolate ice cream. She definitely takes after her mom!!!


Justin again annoyed at me because I am trying to take pictures while he is trying to watch... whatever :)


My fam came down a couple of weekends ago.. which we love.. so we decided after church to go and shoot some hoops and throw the softball around. This is my "little" bro Zack. He thinks super hot now that he can dunk the bball. But I have to admit it is pretty cool!

Of-course it didn't take very long for Justin to find a hose and go after Zack!!! I keep trying to get Justin to act his age when he is around my brothers but I'm about to accept that, that will NEVER happen!! Between my dad, brothers and Justin it is always crazy when we get together..but I love it!!

Although Justin's "great" idea definitely back-fired!! They both got completely SOAKED!!



My brother Preston is serving his mission in Africa and sent Abbie these cute African shoes. Although I they are a little too big but I think they will fit her perfect when he gets home. We definitely miss and love him!! I also love this pic b/c it shows her cute little feet.. they are one of my favorite things about her. They already have a little arch.. it is soo cute!!


This is another picture of what I come home to!! Justin strapped Abbie in her car seat so she couldn't get into things and then put on baby Einstein!! Its always something new with those two. They both make me laugh!!
I have to say that conference weekend is one of my favs!! It always includes way too much eating, way too much laziness, and hangin with lots of family.. Oh ya and of course I do love to listen to all the wonderful speakers!! :) Garret, (Justins bro) as you can see definitely got a lot out of the Saturday sessions. Don't ask me why he has Abbies seat on his head!!! He is so funny.. justin and i were bustin up because not only did he have a seat on his head but he was also snoring SO LOUD!!!

So cute! Sounds like you guys have been really busy! And I cant believe how big Abbie has gotten! Is her hair strawberry blonde now? How adorable. I am glad you guys are doing great, and hopefully its not too long before we get to see you guys again.

Abbie is getting so big! I laughed so hard at the picture of Abbie in her car seat, that is priceless. It looks like you guys are staying busy! When are you planning a trip to St.Johns?

that first pic is so darn cute!! hah! That's so much fun to be getting all those projects started too.... what a sense of accomplishment! :) that is crazy about the baby einstein thing... or maybe it's just guys cuz that is the SAME exact thing kyle does to the girls. straps them in so they can't get into anything and flips on the learning tools!
