Easter

We got Griffin a basketball hoop for Easter. What a great investment!

He played this way for an hour and a half before church. He was so worn out that Sacrament Meeting was actually enjoyable!

I made a quilt for Griffin that he loves because it has cars and buses on it. Every time he sees it he says "Bussss sh". It's pretty cute. It was not intended as an Easter gift but I just happened to finish it 2 days before, so I saved it for Easter.

Thank you Costco for carrying adorable suits for little guys. He looked so handsome! He still looked cute even with green crayon on his vest and face (he likes to eat crayons in nursery...)

My food assignment for this year was rolls. My mom has had 2 different teaching sessions with me on Thanksgiving in years past. I did a practice round last Monday and called my mom 15 times. But they turned out so I was up to the task for Easter. Only there were going to be a lot more people so I doubled the recipe. I ended up with 85 rolls! And they were pretty delicious if I do say so myself.

They may not be much to look at but at least they tasted good!

We attempted to take some nice Easter family pictures, and this is how it went down with Griffin.

So we let him get down and play with a ball and got a good one of just us.

Griffin and Papa. I love that Griffin loves my dad so much. It's so adorable. He LOVES to go visit Papa!

It was a great day! Church was awesome. I am so thankful for the Atonement. I love and am grateful for my family.

Random Catching Up

Well, I'm a little behind so here we go. Last month was the Utah Dental Association convention in Salt Lake. Our office went up and our wonderful Doctor Thompson treated us to dinner at Benihana and a night in the Marriott.

I have so much fun with these cute girls that I work with. The next day we went to the Ortho meeting which was fun and motivational. I love anything that makes me want to be a better person and this was a good pick me up!

I got spoiled to the max for my birthday!

My handsome husband treated me to a night out at Kingsbury Hall to see Romeo and Juliet by Oddessy Dance Utah. This is the only picture that I took, and I love it! It is one of the coolest dance concerts that I have ever seen. I absolutely loved it. Marc knows me so well. I called him when I heard an advertisement on the radio for this concert and I asked him if we could go. He was a little ticked because he had already bought tickets and was planning on it... apparently he's on their mailing list and he knew about it way before I did, so I kinda ruined the surprise. Then on my actual birthday, we went to Tepanyaki which is my absolute FAVE! It was the best!

I also got spoiled at work! They decorated my office, treated me to lunch at PF Changs, gave me presents and made an amazing rainbow cake just for me! Everything made me feel so special!

So as you can see, I LOVE food and I got LOTS of it for my birthday!

I also got a gardening basket and gift certificate from my mom. We are working on putting in our backyard and I really want to plant some flowers in the front. I have no idea what I am doing but I am excited to learn from the best! (that means you mom)

And, wonderful friends stopped by with birthday wishes and gifts too! I really am so grateful for all of the amazing people in my life! And not just because you brought me presents.

We have been loving the warmer weather that we get here and there. Griffin loves to be outside and it helps get lots of his energy out!

I think that this was the first day that Griffin discovered his shadow.

It's pretty hard to get him to stay on the sidewalk or to keep him going on a walk without lots of exploring so we do end up picking him up and carrying him so that we eventually make it back home!

We celebrated our 7th Anniversary this month! We dressed up and went to Flemings for dinner. It was fabulous! Again, a night centered around food... I see a dangerous pattern here. Then, for old times sake we went to Clark Planetarium and went to a laser show. It had been at least 10 years since we have done that. Man there are some weirdy's at that place.

Oh, and I got my braces off!!!! Hallelujah! Thanks Dr. T!

And FINALLY, Marc's buddy Joe got married! This is only a few of the bro's that met up at our house before the bachelor party started.

The party involved shooting guns and eating steak. A good time was had by all, I guess.
