Sister Heyman!

A couple of weeks ago I went to a Nets/Bulls game for a girls night out. I know, it's the first place you think a bunch of girls would want to go! Our friend, Ann Heyman, served a mission with her husband in my old ward, and was dancing at the game, so naturally we drove out to NJ to see her! She is part of a dance group in Orem for women 50 and over, and let me tell you, for a 68 year-old she can definitely bust a move!

Summer Preview

We had some crazy hot weather this week, with temps reaching 80+ degrees for 3 days in a row! So, as part of our cooling off fun, I bought a sprinkler head for Nicole to run around in. She wasn't quite sure what to think of it. Hopefully she'll warm up to it as we keep playing with it!


Nothing like a popsicle on a hot day!

Cherry Blossom Festival

Two years ago when I was pregnant with Nicole, Alex and I ventured down to Washington DC to check out the cherry blossoms. Boy were we disappointed when we found that we had missed the blooming! So, I told myself that I would go back during peak blooming season, and we made it happen this year.

It was absolutely beautiful, and we couldn't have picked a better morning to go. The crowds were minimal (ok, normal for DC, but minimal for the blossoms) and we enjoyed every last minute in the city.

Easter Fun

The weather has been so beautiful this past week, and we kicked Easter weekend off with grilling up some burgers and coloring some eggs. Nicole loved this, and in the end, every last egg we colored was cracked because she played with them so much!


The next morning we had an Easter breakfast and egg hunt at the Church. It was so fun to watch Nicole going around picking up those eggs. It was like Christmas every time she picked one up and opened it! I think she was amazed that there was something new in every single egg.


We spent Easter morning in a hotel, but the Easter Bunny still left us baskets with goodies in them, and Nicole got to do another egg hunt in the room.
