saran wrapped april fool's

We are not HUGE into the whole practical joke thing at our house... but it's April Fool's... who can resist? We had a series of saran wrap pranks this morning... one on the toilet, one on the toothpaste, one around the comb... you know (sort of obvious)... well NICK didn't like it one bit!!! He's the one the prank of the toilet back fired on (hehehehe)... so all morning he's asked me "Mom, when do you wash your hands?" I could see it all over his face DETERMINATION to do some pay backs... v

Story #2 for the day

This is the story of my little cheeser Andy and his best friend BEARRR (to say it like he does you really have to emphasize the rrr)...

Nothing in his world is right without the comfy feel of his sidekick on his hip... And seriously who can blame him... there is nothing better than a warm bath in the morning and a nap on the comfy chair with BEARRRR

oh and don't forget BLANK (blanket)... ahhh to be a kid again...

Weekend in St. George

who says kids don't have the power to move mountains?
These kids sure can... they are the greatest!

Andy REALLY ENJOYED HIS DINNER he licked his plate clean and flirted with everyone who walked by...

Good times rock throwing with Grandpa Ford

Could it get any more beautiful

There's got to be a hidden message in this picture... (something about eternity and generations and looking at the future.... at least that's what I got out of this picture)

we had such fun climbing on these rocks... unfortunately that is the only time I got the camera out... what was I thinking?

We went to watch my nieces dance at a competition.. and oh man... they were awesome! I only wish that I had half the talent and cuteness and energy that they do. We got the best of both worlds being with both sides of our family. Thanks to all who came and made the trip such fun.
