Another Birthday Party!!

Austyn got to celebrate her 1st birthday twice; once with Jamison's family and once with my family. We had a birthday party for her on Sunday with my family. She had fun opening her presents, eating cupcakes, riding in her new wagon and playing with all of the kids. I still cant believe she is one already!!

Baby Blake is Finally Here!!

My brother, Michael and his girlfriend Alicia are the proud new parents of this cute little guy... Blake was born on April 24th around 11 p.m. and weighed 7 pounds 5 ounces. Ryann was so excited to meet him for the first time. Congratulations Michael and Alicia!! We are so happy for you guys.

Austyn's 1st Birthday!!

I cant believe my baby turned one today!! This past year has gone by so fast. We had a fun day hanging out at home and then tonight we had a birthday party with Jamison's family and we will have another one on Sunday with my family. Austyn loved her birthday cake and made a huge mess. She also loved her presents and had fun opening them, with the help of her big sister, of course. After the presents and cake all the kids took turns riding Dewey. It was so nice to be able to have her party outside, except for the dang mosquitoes. Bug spray season is here.

Our New Puppy

Meet our new puppy Austyn. This is Austyns new favorite place to play.

Easter Overload

We had a fun filled Easter... We started out by going to church, the girls looked so cute in their new easter dresses. While we were at church the easter bunny came so the girls got their baskets and had a little egg hunt in the yard. Then we went to Grandma and Grandpa Thornton's to visit with cousins. After that we went to Grandma and Grandpa Bennett's to have dinner with all the aunts, uncles and cousins. And of course we had another easter egg hunt.

More Easter Eggs

Since we love hard boiled eggs so much...We were invited over on Saturday night to our friends/neighbors house to color eggs. Ryann had fun and this time her hand got dyed green instead of purple. Thanks Rod, Jennie and Cassidy for inviting us over and especially for they yummy brownies. It is so nice to have such good friends only two houses away.

Easter Egg Hunt

On Saturday we went with all of Ryann's cousins to the easter egg hunt in Spanish Fork. It started at 9:00 and we were done and in the car by 9:15!! It was rainy but the kids still had fun. Poor Austyn stayed with her Grandma and Grandpa so she didn't get rained on but she sure liked taking Ryann's treats out of her basket when we were done!!

Olivia's Birthday Party!

My niece, Olivia, turned two last Friday. Here are a few pictures from her party. We tried to get one of all 6 grandkids but as you can see that's an adventure! Happy Birthday Olivia!!

Easter Eggs!!

Last Friday my mom, Jordan and Macy came down to color easter eggs with us. The girls had their eggs colored in about two minutes and Ryann's hand was purple for 2 days. Austyn really didn't care for it much.

My new hobby

My husband is going to tease me for posting this but... A few weeks ago I went to a Grocery Smarts party at a friend's house and now I'm hooked. Grocery Smarts is a website that helps you save tons of money on your weekly groceries by matching up coupons with weekly grocery store ads. I've been getting my coupons for awhile now but was just to overwhelmed to organize them and try to use them. This website does all of that for you. Check it out http://www.grocerysmarts.com/ or this is the blog to the girl who did the presentation at the party http://www.sheshopssmart.blogspot.com/ For any of you interested in learning how to save some money on your grocery bill I'm hosting a party on the 24th of this month. Let me know if you'd like to come. This is a picture of my first outing. I spent $90 and saved $120!!

Cruisin'

Austyn has decided she has to do everything her big sister does. She loves riding in the barbie jeep with Ryann. That thing needs a seatbelt!!

Black Cookies

Last night Ryann decided it was time to introduce her sister to Oreo cookies (or black cookies as she calls them). Austyn loved them and threw the biggest fit when I took them away from her.
