The Stars Have Aligned

The stars have aligned and I get to say hi to the world.  I'm pretty caught up on my chores and not too tired.  SO I'm going to blog.  The picture above was taken on mother's day.  I'm one happy and thankful mama!  Do you see that tummy?  I'm getting close - only about 4 weeks left.

I just took this picture today.   I love sisterhood.  It's darling and we are adding one more sister to the bunch around June 23rd.
This is one of my most favorite pictures.  We went to St. George for Spring Break.  We were trying to get a family picture at the sand dunes.  Every so often the wind would whip sand up and blow us away.  This picture captures it perfectly. 


Here we are visiting Samantha's class.   They we celebrating her unbirthday since her birthday is July 10th.
This was when we visited Seth's class for his "Special Me"
Easter


If you look real close you can see my awesome husband on stage.  This is one of those things I never thought I'd see my husband do - MC a beauty pageant.  He was recruited and did a wonderful job.  He MC'ed the Miss Nibley and princess pageant. 



The boys have just about finished the Spring Soccer season.  Tom coached Trey's team.  both Seth and Trey loved playing.  They both did a fine job!
Tom in action as coach.  He did such a good job. 

Entering Pet Overload.  We had a crazy month where we got bombarded with pets. At our peak we had: 8 hamsters, 1 cat 3 kittens, 1 rabbit, 8 chickens, a very active bee hive, and a snake.  It was crazy.  The two male hamsters we bought Seth at Christmas turned out to be a male and female because they made 6 babies. A cat hide her babies in our garage, the rabbit was given to us my by my in-laws, the chickens we raised, the bees are good we want those and the snake was caught in the field next to us.  We are back down to chickens and bees - just the way we like it.


Trey's 5th birthday - sheer fun



More pictures from our St. George trip.  The family wandering in the wilderness.  We had a great time.  We just spent 4 days there but it was just right.  We went to Snow Canyon, a super fun indoor pool, the temple, went to an Easter egg hunt and ate at lots of places


happy!


The brilliant white temple.
I am trying to figure out this new system to updating my blog.  Yeah!  blog updated!
