Happy Birthday Sis-

I know you're busy traveling the world, and Im not sure when Ill see you next, BUT I want you to know that we thought about you TODAY on YOUR BIRTHDAY!! We ate lots of cafe rio, mangos, pita chips,listened to crazy music, shopped at Anthropology, froze our feet, ate edamame, organized our room and re-organized it, watched 'What Lies Beneath' , cleaned out moms jewelry box, sent 3000 text messages, plucked our eyebrows, and stayed up way late!

Im so happy youre having such amazing experiences that you will remember FOREVER!



ALthough we're miles apart you're in my thoughts and Im counting the days till I see you. You are the best sister I could ever ask for and I am so grateful for you!! I love you so much.

Flashback Friday

This picture was taken 4 years ago in NY. I miss this place.

OUT WITH THE OLD...


AND IN WITH THE NEW!!



We painted our bed, the back wall green, new window covers, bedding, and accessories! Our master was in need of a facelift!

What have the Hydes been up to ??

Its been a great two weeks. We have spent most of the time in Utah visiting family/Tony doing work. My parents have been nice enough to lets us stay (and invade) their home. My kids have had lots of quality time with their Grandma!!

Lunch with my favorite person ever : Miss Sara Hall

A girls day- with shopping-eating-lots of catching up-kids photo shoot! We sure missed Ali and Brit.

LOTS and LOTS of cousin time. Jackson loves being around other kids so it has been so fun seeing Annabelle.




Tony has spent the last week in Arizona at Baseball Spring Training with the Snarr boys. It has been 90 degrees. They have seen the Angels, Diamond Backs, Giants, Cubs and Dodgers.

I'm on the Enrichment Committee, so this month I was busy with the RS Birthday Party... decorating the centerpieces with different party themes.


Jackson and I went on a date to Disney On Ice. It was a great time, with great seats (front row of course) and so fun to see Jacksons excitement!


Watching LOTS and LOTS of Basketball. Jackson sat front row!! We cheered on Vallivue and JJ.


So lots of pictures, I know, but this is the easiest way to give my sister Ali and update. We cant wait till you are back in the country!

cousins

Kensington and Titus Hyde

(Titus is the son of Justin and Becca Hyde)

It was a beautiful Sunday today. We thought we would take the grandkids all for a walk. The sunset was nice and so was the company!





I love this picture of my brother. It is totally his personality, trying to see how fast his daughter can go down the hill.

We're all under the weather at the moment. Its been a tuff few days with lots of diapers, throw up, stomach aches, etc. Nurse Syd has been helping with medicine and soothing the two kids. Uncle Spencer was so nice to take Jackson for the whole day to give me a bit of relief and some time to catch up on sleep. It is so great to know that I can always depend on family.

THE CHAIR

I feel like my personal worth is put on the line every time I go to the dentist. I sit in the chair and they take out that little mirror and metal hook and check each tooth individually and with each tooth I hope with all of my might that they won't find a cavity. Thoughts start swirling through my head. Did I brush enough? Why don't I floss more? Did that tooth hurt when she touched it? Now that I think about it, they were kind of sensitive to candy the other day. I hope I don't have anything in my nose....Then the cleaning really gets going. Mid-cleaning, my nose starts to itch. It always does when I can't itch it. I try to do the Bewitched nose wiggle, but it's still itching. Think of something else....Finally, the dentist comes in to do the final check and those 10 seconds seem to last 10 minutes. I wish he would have said, "Looks good. Thanks for coming in." But instead he says, "Looks like we have 2 cavaties today." Oh darn, $$$ you werent expecting to put out going towards TEETH. But, I love the clean feel in your mouth after you've been to the dentist.

I went 15 DAYS straight.

And then last night I pooped out...
on top of that, I ate 5 girl scout cookies.

Today I started ALL OVER, back to day 1

My goal: run on the treadmill 20 days in a ROW.
Lets see if I can reach my goal this time.

So here's our families 3 latest photos. Grams dog had 9 puppies that we are very excited about. Gram taught jackson how to say, "puppies" it includes a lot of spit coming out of his mouth when he pronounces the letter P.
The pic of Jackson and Tony is on our 4th wedding anniversary. We took our kids to the park... so romantic right! Dont worry, the day got better.
And Kensington and I, my sweet doll. She is one beautiful girl and I love it!

Tony learned the hard way of what happens

when you toss your daughter in the air

right after she's been fed....

Im SOOO glad I got a picture of him

before he spit up everything that

landed in his mouth.

Thanks hun for a HILARIOUS memory!
