Bathing Beauty

Madeline has always been a water baby, but she HATES to get water in her eyes. So this year we decided that she should take swimming lessons. Here are a few pictures of her progress. Definitely something we will be doing again!





Top Marks!! We're so proud of her. :)

Blogging about Tasty Treats

My new blog for recipes, food tips and more.

Things in the Clouds

Does anyone else see what I see??? Click the image to make it

larger, I took this picture yesterday as the beautiful clouds poured in from California. I guess I just had this particular thing on the brain
yesterday. I'll give you a hint; It has a tail and is sitting on the rocks. :)

CRAZY huh?!? I love clouds.

So Much Crazy

We've been running about for the past two months or so like chickens whom have been beheaded. There are so many pictures from our random adventures that I can only toss up a few here for you, at the risk of boring you to death with all the crap we did!! We went to Disneyland and California Adventure, rode all the rides in the rain but that was okay, it meant less people in lines!

Madeline purchased herself some snazzy ears (With Grandma and Grandpa's help) and we found her a Tinker-Minnie.

Then we all came back home to find that spring had finally arrived in Utah.



Though there was still snow on the mountains we would not see much more of it.


On his way home from work Justin obeyed the rules of the road, sadly the kid behind him in the Avalanche truck did not. So they wrote off our Eclipse. This made room for our new:


2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer. Leather and seats 7. We're excited for camping!


Because of our trip to Canada, Madeline missed her graduation with her class from Kindergarten. So she ended up walking with another Kindergarten class. This is Madeline and the teacher's daughter Alliscen.





She walked in to the Auditorium in hot pink sunglasses. I just about died laughing. She handed them to me as she continued to take her seat on the stage.


One more diploma for the scrapbook. At this rate she will be the most learned child in Utah.


On the last day of school, Madeline and Alliscen exchange phone numbers. School might never be the same, but the friends you make along the way are what make it exciting.

We are so proud of you Madeline. Now it is time for Summer!

Painting Cousins

Today Kaden and Brinnley came to play at our house for a while. The kids had a great time playing in the toy room and painting pictures in the kitchen.

There was only ONE paintbrush. There was only ONE Smock. And amazingly enough, there were NO fights as they waited their turns to paint. I even got a thumbs up from Brinnley. :)

Spring Flowers

Spring has finally brought out some color! We are so happy that the winter weather is gone now, and are looking forward to the warmth and the sunshine. Just thought I could share some of my garden with you.

Krishna Temple

On Valentine's Day, Justin Madeline and I were lucky enough to visit the Sri Sri Radha Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork for their Shiva Rita festival. It was an absolutely GORGEOUS event, in a building that took my breath away. Dancing and singing and chanting, and a power-point presentation on Shiva and the symbolism of his appearance, and hand gestures.

I am so thankful that the world we live in is so diverse.
