Arizona

Some of you know...some don't. I just thought I would quickly post that we are moving down to Arizona. Sad to leave family and friends in Salt Lake but we are so excited for this new adventure. Kevin starts school on the 8th of June so we are a bit crazy trying to fit in everything and find a place to live. Kevin's family is all down there so it is fun that we get a chance to live by them.

Anyway, life is good and crazy as always. We have a fun trip to Florida next week with the whole Tullis clan so stay tuned for some crazy fun and pics!

Easter Weekend

We had such a fun Easter weekend filled with visiting the
Easter Bunny (multiple times)
Easter Egg hunts (multiple times)
Coloring eggs (multiple times)I think we did about 3 of the 18 cartonfulls!
Filled Easter Baskets
Decorating Easter cookies

You Catching My Drift....We fully enjoyed all the fun Easter traditions.

We had an amazing Easter Sunday with a great service and spending time with the people we love.

Mornings At Our House

Anyone what to come ???:)

The Zoo

We had a fun day at the Zoo! It was great weather...not too hot and not too cold. This was awesome because the animals were really active. We had a great time as always...minus the fight with his cousin about which giraffe was whos best friend.

The Aquarium

So a little while ago we headed to the Aquarium with Katie, Lucy, Siri and Ali. We had the best time!!! They had some cool displays with crazy fish, eels, and a nasty octopus. Andrew was a champ and was up for touching everything. He got to touch everything from Stingrays to Crabs to Starfish. The best part...he was FREE and I got a year pass for $16...I did say $16. It was awesome!! (Notice the Marti Gras beads that Andrew refused to take off...love it!)

Andrew's Birthday Party

So last Thursday we had a birthday party for Andrew. We had a CARS Party and it turned out to be a bunch of fun. We had car races, a race track cake, fun car party favors, medals, awesome gifts from his friends, a piniata, a tire toss and of course tatoos. The majority of the time Andrew had a great time...until his whole rash/ illergic reaction started. All I have to say is thank heavens I didn't have to call 12 mothers and tell them their kids might get sick. I hope all the kids had a great time because it was a blast to plan...I decided the parties are more for me anyway. I have already started thinking about Jacks which will be in about 6 months. My husband just laughs at me. O-well I love it!

Natural History Museum at the University

The Natural History Museum up at the University of Utah is free on the first Monday of every month. We went today and had the best time. They have awesome bug, dinosaur, and animal exhibits. We didn't get through all the museum today but we will for sure be back next month!


Digging for Dino Bones!

Breakfast With Friends

Jhordan was in town this last week so some of us went to breakfast at the Original Pancake House. I had never been there but I would highly recommend it! While everyone enjoyed a relaxing breakfast I got to deal with two cranky kids throwing things everywhere and having fits. They joys of having a husband who works on Saturday.

PS If you ever want to talk to me...breakfast with the kids is apparently not the best way for that to happen. CALL ME :)

Whoever feels like doing it, go for it...it wasn't so bad :)

On Mondays we do a playgroup with some of my friends from high school and their kids that are Andrews age. This week we decided to go to the Draper Temple Open house. We had so much fun. Andrew was so excited to go inside since he never gets to. He especially loved the baptismal font and the amazing chandelier in the ceiling room. While we were inside I tried to talk to him about the spirit and about the warm fuzzy feeling we get inside that lets us know this gospel it true. He said "Mommy I think I am feeling the fuzzy feeling right now." Cute kid! I hope he remembers!

Frisbee Golf

We had to take advantage of the amazing weather last Saturday so we headed to a park for some frisbee golf and some playground action. We had a blast...we always do when daddy is around. I don't know if I have ever missed nice weather as much as I do this year. I can't wait for spring!

Iron Chef Cook Off

I never posted pictures of our amazing Iron Chef competition. For those of you who don't know what it is we had a cook off. We ended up winning but only out of default. Both of us had great entrees but totally bombed the desserts. It is just not right...having two amazing meals and nothing great for dessert.
Our Judge digging in

Thackeray's dinner- Yummy spicy beef (really so great)

Our dessert- Layered peanut butter and jelly parfait...aka dog food (sorry babe)

Thackeray's Dinner- Sweet Potato Balls

This Is Love

Since my Dad is no longer here to buy my Mom flowers, he told me to make sure and get something great for every possible occasion. These came for her today almost seven years after he died. I want my love to last like that....through the eternities. I love my dad for the way he loves my mom.

Happy Valentine's Day

Slacker

I have been a total slacker when it comes to blogging. It is sad to because we have done so many fun things. Not that anyone really cares too much but for the sake of looking back here is what we have been up to...

*St George with the Thackary's and the Anderson's
*Swimming
*Playing at the Sand Dunes
*Tennis
*Bocce
*Story time
*Kangaroo Zoo
*Discovery Museum
*Finally beginning to run outside again after a nasty few inversion days...and I know more to come-RAW
*Music Class
*Playgroups with fun new friends
*Couples dinners with friends
*Game nights
*Moved back home to our apt. because my mom's hip is healing!!!

Anyway, we have had a blast. Hopefully I will be much better about updating because seriously it is so much fun to look back and all the things we do. When I think about blogging I take much better pictures too. (I took one picture in George...sad)

My famous husband!

We had a friend send us this. We were laughing pretty hard. Some of you knew about this, but you never thought you would get to see the proof. So our claim to fame...Kevin kissed Brooke White. So what if it was a high school play. ha ha
Just take a look.

Kevin and Brooke White

Isn't he amazing! Thank goodness when he asked me to marry him he skipped the make up the singing and HELLO, we really kissed. None of this pecking stuff.jk (They did kiss but it cuts off.)
