Shop "Til You Drop

While Gramma Kimmy was busy spoiling Jace and Lance, Kyle and I got to do some shopping at Layton Hills Mall...

First, a trip to Kiddie Kandids. 18 months pictures!

Kyle thought I should try this swimsuit on, but I decided it was time to go check out my older brother, Jimmy's store, "Tricked Out Accessories" (for cell phones). This is my little brother, Johnny, who I've heard is one of Jimmy's top salesmen. (Jimmy was always good at selling since when we were kids. He could talk me into almost anything, and always won the arguments. It's no wonder he owns two stores and about 10 kiosks. He knows how to get what he wants, and sell it, too :)).

This is one of Jimmy's other kiosks, "Sticker Shop". He's making my birthday present: vinyl lettering for my home and also a cute stick-figure family for the van (after my birthday, I will post their cuteness). It is so nice to have a brother in this business. He's awesome! (They also have a "U" for the Utes, if you noticed the "Y" behind him. My fav: He has a blue "BYU" sign with the "U" being a red "Utes" logo. Thanks, Jimmy!

Good Friday 2008

Another Good Friday come and gone...

Flashback (Good) Friday

A friend of mine has a Flashback Friday every week on her blog. While I'm not organized enough to do this every week, I couldn't help but do it today:
It doesn't seem that long ago that we were enjoying another Good Friday at Mom's house coloring Easter Eggs. This is in April 2005.

To this day, Jared and I still give Jace a "hard time" for this cute clip: He's quoting, or trying to quote, from the movie, "The Incredibles".
Evan, of course, is being very thorough on his egg coloring and being sure to count to exactly the right number to get just the right color...

Two Firsts

Lance's First Soccer Game - He is beaming!



Jace (#6) Scores the First Goal of the Season to kick off a 6-0 win!

Houdini Jr.

This poor little toddler has such a boring kitchen to work with. With childproof drawers, childproof locked pantry, custom-made Kyle-proofed oven door, what's left to do, but to find a way around those darned locks? He hasn't quite figured out how to unlatch it yet, but when he does, Jared will have to come up with yet another brilliant solution.

"Take a Picture of Me!!"

That's how this photo happened. Then Lance took some pictures of me, which I will not post. Believe you me, this one's much cuter :)

Who's a Kid?

We just got back from, yet, another relaxing and glorious stay at the cabin. On the drive to the cabin, we took a vote on our predictions of the snow height compared to last week:

Jared said: about the same

Jenny said: a little less

Jace: kept changing from "about the same" to "a little less". Jared gave him a hard time for being so wishy-washy.

The winner? None of us! There was just a little bit more snow there, and it was snowing when we arrived. Jace had to recarve the tunnels he made for a little toy boat to glide down. He also made a ton more of them with his dad, and we brought the sled up this time and enjoyed some sledding. Actually, only Jared and I went down the sled. Jace wasn't into the sledding as much as wanting to work on his tunnels, and Lance said he didn't want to. What is that?? I guess Jared and I were the only real kids there!

We only got one picture this trip, wanna see it?

On our drive to the cabin, Jace asked why we've been going to the cabin so often. I told him that it's Jared's spring break (He gets a 3 week break). "Well, I like it!" he said.

Jared and Jace have different spring breaks (darn!) so we've been trying to make good use of our weekends during Jared's break. It's so nice to have a cabin just 45 min. away!
