April FHE

This month for the family FHE we went to the Clark's house and had breakfast burritos, an Easter egg hunt, and a lesson on the Savior's sacrifice and resurrection.
Here are some pictures from the hunt and playing on the playground afterward. I think the kids had a lot of fun.

Happy Easter

We had a great Easter this year. Here are the kids new Easter outfits.
I made Joss's dress using this tutorial. And Seth's using this tutorial.




Hope you had a great Easter and that you remembered the true reason we celebrate that our Savior lives!

Anniversary/Honeymoon Trip

Patrick and I had planned on taking a honeymoon trip a few months after we got married. It would be summer and we wouldn't have school to worry about. I ruined that plan though. I get morning sickness and didn't much feel like going on a trip and we just never did go away.
So for our third anniversary we decided to go away, just the two of us. Thanks to my mom who watched the kids for us we finally got to go on our honeymoon.
We went up to Greer, AZ. It was so pretty and the weather was gorgeous. We stayed at the Greer Lodge. They have free mountain bikes, telescopes, flying fishing poles, board games, hiking trails, lawn games, DVD rentals and later in the season they rent kayaks. They even give free fly fishing and kayaking lessons.
We had a great time up there and hope to be able to get away just the two of us each year.
Here is the lake near were we stayed. They have fishing ponds by every cabin but there are lakes just a few minutes up the road.


Outside the main lodge and restaurant they have a few really big ponds and the ducks love to hang out there. Probably because people feed them. They were fun to watch while we were eating breakfast.


This is a picture of us waiting for our delicious breakfast to come. I ordered the Greer Lodge French Toast and it was really yummy. It was crusted in almonds and frosted flakes and served with strawberries.

And Patrick was so sweet that he got me these flowers when we got home for our actual anniversary. They are so pretty.

Crown?

The other day Joss found my cake decorating tips. She would put them on her head and say crown. It was pretty cute, even if I'm biased.

Every Once In a While...

Joss actually shows that she loves her little brother.




Aren't they cute together?

Eight Months Old

Seth is eight months old now. He has been pretty crabby the last few days and is really only happy when he is being held or when he can sneak away and get into Joss's room to play with her toys. I think he is teething pretty hard.
He also LOVES the bath. If he is anywhere near the bathroom he gets really excited and he will try to climb in the tub if he is standing by it.
He is a lot more adventurous these days. He is into everything and crawls everywhere. He was Joss have been playing together at times, which really consists of Joss running past him in the hallway or tunnel as Joss calls it. They giggle had have a great time with that game.
He is such a happy little boy and we are so happy that he is here in our home. What would we do without him?

Sunday Best

This weekend we had a cold spell. This meant that Seth could wear some of the outfits that he wasn't big enough for during the winter. Yay! He looked really cute in his sweater vest for church this week.


Joss also had a new dress to wear to church this week. I saw this idea on Ucreate. Its called the "Business in the Front, Party in the Back" dress.
Here is the front of the dress, or the business side. :)Very sweet and simple.


And here is the party! I just love the ruffles!


Here is the tutorial if you want to make one for your cutie. It was actually really easy because you don't really have to finish any of the edges. And since you use old T-shirts its really inexpensive too!
