Prima Ballerina

Tonight was Lindsay's ballet recital---Snow White. She was a white rabbit who helped with the laundry. She was adorable. She is turning into quite the little dancer. It was fun to go watch her perform.

I think the flowers we got Lindsay were bigger than Josh

Emily had pretty much had it by the end of the recital

Lindsay signing autographs---she's quite the little star.

Parents for a day

My sister Kimi went to Hawaii for a week so Ryan and I got to help out Kimi, Andy, and my mom and watch Tanner and Cannon for two days. They are such cute little boys, it was so much fun playing with them. Plus, it's such a self-esteem builder. There is nothing quite like being told "yeah, Amy! You did it!" after accomplishing such feats as kicking a ball, screwing the lid on a sippy cup or turning on the TV. It was a lot of fun. Thanks Kimi and Andy for trusting us with your precious boys.





This is Tanner striking a pose for us. I really loved it when he'd say "good-night, Amy" when I put him to bed.

This is Cannon---if only you could hear him saying "Cheese" while I took his picture. Saturday morning we played baseball, went on a walk and rode the 'go Diego' rescue Jeep. (Thanks Josh). It was a busy morning and they were more than ready for naps. Cannon is hilarious and seems to be constantly eating---Ryan and I found out he loves salt and vinegar potato chips---sshhh don't tell Kimi



Tanner kept wanting me to pitch to him, while he gets the idea in theory, either he needs to go back to using the tee, or Josh needs to teach me how to pitch----I'm thinking I need the lessons.

Bees Game

We were lucky enough to be invited to a Bees game by our neighbors. We had a good time---even though the weather was a little cool. We had great seats and were right in the midst of all the action. Our section even won free pizzas from Papa John's---you can't beat free food :D

Sunny Day!

It was such a nice day, yeah Spring is here, Ryan and I drove out to this rock that is just south of the marina at the Great Salt Lake. This is the big rock you can see from I-80 that looks like it's in the middle of the water, but no worries there is a mostly paved road out there. A lot of other people thought it would be a good way to spend a Sunday afternoon too.

The water was really blue and it didn't stink at all----always a bonus at the GSL. Thanks for the fun field trip, Ryan.

Knitting Grandma

Now that I like to spend my free time knitting, Ryan has taken to calling me "Grandma". Of course since my hands are busy it has seemed to keep my mouth a little quieter and Ryan is able to enjoy some peace and quiet occasionally around the house, rather my constant stories.

Ladies' Lunch

Today I got to have lunch with my ADORABLE niece, Lindsay. We ate in the cafeteria (I brought McDonald's though--I still have issues with eating hot lunch at school), I got to meet some of her friends---her new theme song is "Popular", and I got a tour of her classroom and desk which included getting to check out her artwork. She's such a cutie! THANKS LINDS!!!

Sit n Knit

My friend Kim (Meghan and Mackenzie's mom) invited me to her knitting group. My husband was worried I wouldn't be crafty enough, but Kim's a great teacher and I was able to accomplish this little bit of knitting. It's a lot of fun--and who knew it'd be something I could actually do. I am hoping to one day graduate from scarves to a hat--although all those double pointed needles kind of scared me.
