2009 Mrs. Utah Contestants

This is a picture of all of the girls that will be in the pageant this year. They are all amazing!

Easter 2009

I like the low expectations of Easter baskets. I think they kids just think it is nice to be thought of, no demands or tantrums. Just happy to get some surprises.

The goods-we are starting T-ball this year so Josh gave them their equipment for Easter.

These are the cutest banks. Josh found them (I mean the Easter Bunny).

Don't they look cute in their Easter outfits?

Coloring Easter Eggs

We always love coloring Easter Eggs!

We are ready to go!

Josh was so cute to help the boys out with the eggs.

Silly Lincoln.

Palmer was pretty into the egg decorating.

All of our eggs-ready for Easter breakfast (we don't boil them)

Uncle Mark's Eagle Court

My little brother Mark got his Eagle last week. We are all so proud of him. That is not an easy thing to do. Way to go Mark!

My boys absolutely love their Uncle Marky! He is a great uncle.

Two goofy boys.

This was a real eagle. The man in the picture brought him and told all about eagles. So neat.

My Mom had a beautiful Eagle put on this neckercheif (is that a word?)

Getting his Eagle award.

My brothers Mark and Nathan.

My handsome brother Mark.

Fwimming Lessons (as Hunter calls them)

We have finally started swimming lessons. I am so impressed with the boys and how well they are doing. They all really love the water. That is a huge bonus!

Palmer loves to be underwater-it totally scares me! Isn't that why we are teaching them to swim?

Lincoln loves swimming. He doesn't seem to be afraid of it at all...I wish he were a little more worried around water!

Hunter learning to "float" on his back. He was a little unsure at first, but he got it.

Hunter did such a great job!

Preschool Easter Party

Palmer and Lincoln's preschool classes had big parties to kick off spring break. They each got to hunt for 8 eggs with their locker number on it (go #19 for both boys) and a special surprise (bubbles). They they had an Easter song and got to see the Easter bunny. Again I love our preschool!

Easter Bunny heaven.

Lincoln hates being in front of people. When it was time for the Easter program he just burst into tears and wouldn't go with his class.

I am so glad that this teacher was so sensitive. He was fine to be with the other kids if he didn't feel like he was in front of everyone.

Little buddies Lincoln and Chance (bunny ears were on for 3.2 seconds).

Lincoln absolutely would not wear these bunny ears he got at the party. Hunter was only to happy to take them off his hands.

Finally it was Palmer's class party! He found his first Easter egg.

The wind was blowing so hard that he had to hold onto the ears.

Palmer was a good sport about the bunny ears. He even wore them to Costco after the party.

Palmer's class.

Palmer singing all of the preschool Easter songs. He knew all of the words and actions. So cute.

This is Palmer's buddy Max from preschool. Yes they are the same age.

After the Easter parties we went to Costco for lunch...good+cheap=perfect!

If you come to our house you might get one of these-

Aren't you lucky?! Hunter is going through a "kissing phase" right now. He kisses me all day long. How could you resist this face? He is such a nut! We really love him.

Dinner at La Caille

Today I went with some amazing women to La Caille for an dinner (so yummy!). I lived with these girls at USU and I really think a lot of them. They helped me so much for the Queen Bee Tea. We are in the works of planning something else...stay tuned!

Lincoln's Best Friend

Today we went to McDonalds with Lincoln's best friend Chance. They are in the same preschool class. Many of you that would not think that is a big deal. It was a huge deal to me. Lincoln hasn't had a lot of friends in his short life. We never seem to live around any kids his age. He also seems to be a little oblivious to other kids sometimes which has worried me a little bit. I went through his class picture and asked him what the kids names were. He didn't know many names except for "this is my best friend Chance." He also told me two kids who were "bad boys." I thought that was pretty funny. It means a lot to me for Lincoln to experience having friendships. We went to lunch with Chance and his mom Melissa today. We had so much fun and Lincoln and Chance played extremely well. It also doesn't hurt that his mom is way cool. I think he picked a good kid as his "best friend."

Hunter came along as well. He loved "happy meal." That is what he calls McDonalds.
