I leave Jon in charge for 5 minutes...

Bridger didn't seem to mind!

March babies are the cutest!

Happy Birthday to Jon on March 14th! It was on a Sunday and one Sunday a year he has to do a show for a company he distributes to....Bummer it happened to fall on his birthday :( Mine was the day before so we just had a full weekend of Dates and fun stuff!

At grandma and grandpa Harris' house for our birthdays!

We used our awesome birthday coupons and got a great date on my Birthday! We love this place, but we always eat way too much!!!

Jon was super cute on my b-day. He and the kids hid clues all around the house leading me to my next treat! He was very creative and the kids loved it!

On a different note, Hanna and I have been having fun trying out new hair styles that will work with short bobs! We did this cool flipsy pony tail thing across the top like a head band and in the picture at the top of the post we tried a french braid as a headband! It's a work in progress, I just learned how to french braid and they are FAR from perfect!



Bridger! ...and our cat Spooky!


I think our cat is just in love with our little Bridger boy!

Bridger doesn't seem to mind!


For Jon's b-day the kids and I made his favorite dinner, RIGATONI! It's quite the project and takes me forever to make because it's such a huge recipe! we usually freeze half! Anyway, the kids got bored and asked me to take their picture in their newly made frames!!!!



]How creative they are!!!


ANTELOPE ISLAND!!!
On Monday we tagged along with Jon to Logan for work! On the way home we decided to head out to Antelope Island for FHE! I forget how beautiful it is there! Grandma and grandpa Harris came with us! We had a picnic of subway in a 45 deg. wind and then got back in the truck! Brrr.!

Good thing Jon's mom had her camera, she gets all the good shots!!! Hahaha!


Jon was teaching the kids how to skip rocks, they almost got it!


Bubba and Mommy!!!




Maybe this will be our Christmas picture! we never seem to get good smiles when we actually all look cute but when there's just this random day, we're all smiling!



Hanna is my little buddy and I love hanging out with her! She's not in school yet and I love soaking up just me and her time!

Daddy teaching Hunter how to skip those cool flat salt rocks!
They were really frustrated that they couldn't get it!



This is Hanna's face after trying for a REALLY long time to skip the rock! I thought it was classic!

And this is Hunter frustrated face! Haha, those were the best pics of the day!
Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for coming along at the last minute!

Swimming in Macrh!

I guess we have spring fever or something! We just all really wanted to go swimming so we headed off the the South Jordan indoor pool! It is so cute and has a fun slide for the big kids (me and my sister and Jon!)

The kids loved it! I wish we were close to some sort of public place where they could swim or play. EVERYWHERE is a 20 minute drive. I guess I shouldn't complain, it is quiet here! And we do love it!

tea time!

Hanna loves to have these tea parties or she call them "mate" parties because that's the drink we drink together every morning! The kitty decided to join us on this one! good thing it was just water!


Hunter's stellar hair cutting pose! Thank goodness kelsee cuts hair! She had to fix the terrible job I did.

As for Jon and I...we just got back from Arizona! Jon took me along one of his business trips for Valentines day! We left the kiddos at my moms (except Bridger) and enjoyed some time away! I couldn't believe how much I needed it, It was a blast and I did WAY too much shopping! The Arizona Mills outlet mall is the BEST!!!!!!!

We are officially unpacked!!!

Well it's taken us 7 months but I didn't have anywhere to put our stuff so it just sat there in boxes downstairs. Jon has been working on the nights that I teach and we've finally finished our cold storage room. WOOHOO! Our sad excuse for a food storage now has shelves to sit on! Plus all our "CRAP" in jon's words has a home! Now on to Hunter's room!




Jon's nerdy safety glasses. What a goof!!!

Christmas, skating, dancing and fishing!

Here are some fun Christmas pics at my moms house! We had a great Christmas! Jon and I set a $20.00 limit on each other and I just went a little over this year, actually that's very good for me! But Jon on the other hand... went way over. He bought us 2 tickets to a Broadway show in NEW YORK!!!!! He justifies his gift because he used our capital one reward points so I would not find out... hmm. I haven't decided how I feel about this yet! ( pretty excited!)



Hanna had her first dance recital in December! It was hilarious! She actually did pretty good but right after the song was over, all the other girls went off the side behind the curtain like they were supposed to.. except Hanna! She ran to the front of the stage and YELLED, "Mom, Dad, where are you?" oh everyone was laughing, I'll have to see if I can get my sisters video of it! She got it all on video!!! Hahaha!


Sledding gear! Ya gotta get some pics of that!



Jon and I escaped one night after the kids were in bed to go ice skating! I am so out of shape, it kicked my butt. Then there's Jon who should have been a figure skater/ hockey player for a
profession! Don't tell him!! heehee! But really he is way too good to go skating around with me!




My mom came and picked Hunter up the other day to go ice fishing at Utah Lake with her and some of our family friends. They have one of those tents you can put the heaters in and fish right out of! He was in heaven and caught 15 fish!!! He had the best time ever!




Hunter and Brandon! His good buddy!
