Ward Luau

Last Saturday our ward had a luau. It was so much fun! Our friends Junior and Mona Maile put it together. They had all their friends and family there to do the traditional island dances and Junior and his friends sang. They also had the YM/YW and the primary kids do some dances that they had been taught. The best was seeing the bishopric get up to do the Haku, never have I laughed so hard! We had some great food too! The kids LOVED watching all the dances and dancing along to all the music. It was such a fun night. We then came home and watched the Laker game.

Our Little Rascals

They keep us busy but how can you not love these two?!?!

Laker Game

Tommy and I bought tickets to go to the Laker vs. Jazz game last Thursday night. Thanks to my parents for taking the kids. We had so much fun!! Wish we could have been there again for game four. We got up there early to watch the Lakers warm up. I must say it was packed with Laker fans and it was fun to mingle with them all. We don't mind the Jazz but when they are playing the Lakers, we cheer for the Lakers. It was a dang good game, even though the Lakers lost. Not too worried though :) Thanks for a great night babe! Go Lakers!

A Great Day for the Zoo

We had the itch to get out and enjoy some nice weather with the kids so we took them up to the Zoo on Saturday. Our good friends Mike, Lillian and their son Mikey joined us. It was a really nice day and not too crowded. Caleb and Bailey had so much fun! Bailey was a lot more aware of her surroundings this time and loved looking at all the animals and Caleb never gets tired of going. It was a fun day!! I was super tired and got a headache but Tommy was able to finish off the day with our friends watching the UFC fights. We continued to enjoy the rest of the weekend and the beautiful weather!

Easter Fun 2009

After a rainy day on Saturday, Easter turned out to be a beautiful day! We woke up with the kids and they discovered their baskets. They were so excited about what the Easter bunny brought them. While the kids "investigated" their new toys, I started on breakfast. I made bunny cinnamon rolls. After breakfast we started getting ready for church. That was a bit of an adventure, Bailey did not get a nap in before church, there was a bit of excitement and well a bit of a sugar high so she was a little more fidgety during church. Tommy and I also started our new calling as nursery leaders. Now that was a different experience. It should be fun though! After church, Bailey got her long over do nap while I started on dessert for after dinner. We then headed over to my parents for dinner. My brother Kyle and his wife Heather joined us. Before dinner we had an Easter egg hunt with the kids since we were unable to do any the day before due to the rain. Caleb was so excited to go catch some eggs, as he kept saying. I wish I would have video recorded him this year. He was so funny with everything he kept saying and his pure excitement. Bailey wasn't a 100% sure what was really going on she picked up her first egg and started shaking it so hard that it broke open she saw chocolate and started eating. It was so funny. Aunt Heather helped her out and she had a full basket. Some of the eggs had capsules in them that you put in water and watched them "grow" into foam shapes of different animals and dinosaurs. This was a huge hit with Caleb!!! He was more than excited and spent almost the whole rest of the night watching those things turn into different foam shapes. We had a great dinner together and after dessert we played conversion. It was a long and busy day but we had a lot of fun!!!

The Bunny Cinnamon Rolls I made. (I forgot to buy the licorice for the whiskers). The kids loved them though.

Not an attractive picture, but can you tell he likes dinosaurs??!!
