March Madness

This SWEET little fourth grader pulled off a beauty of 

a science fair project!

"How Much Pucker in your Sucker?"

Testing the ph (acidity) in candy. 

Our neighbor Connley sampled some treats too!

Green eggs for St. Patty's day...went over wonderful.

19 months of BABY lOVE!

A mover and shaker, not big on using any words but

has a beauty of a job going on with her bang grow out.

Loves to be outside, or in her daddy's arms.

She has us all wrapped around her little finger.

We let her dance on tables, boss us around

and feed her plenty of sugar.

Living the life of the youngest for sure!

 Tate played the part of President 

John F. Kennedy in the 2nd grade program.

"We choose to go to the moon in this 

decade not because it is easy, but because it is hard!"

Okay, I really love Washington. I think one of the reasons I may

love it so much is because I am surrounded by the best women.

 My dear friends spent an entire day in Seattle with

me. It was AWESOME.

We had the most amazing brunch at Portage Bay, spent the morning shopping, talking

and even got a little manicure in.

Katelyn hooked us up with a posh hang out down town, a condo on the square.

More girl talk, of course.

To end a perfect night

our hubs met us for dinner down town.

EPIC.

Angie, Katleyn, Jen, Katie

Spring & Moving

Seattle at its best! 

We are trying to cram all of our sight seeing before we head to Utah.

We chose a beautiful Saturday and explored the city for a bit.

I will miss the market with the beautiful flowers. They make me happy for a little bit of nothing.

We got the kids their favorite tie-dyes and enjoyed watching some of the crazies

of this place. 

Spring has sprung!

Tate and his neighborhood man crew!

Emmy is into giving ALL toys a bath.

Lyla and Emmy girl getting ready to get on the bus!

I met Trent in Salt Lake for a quick home hunting trip,

it was more like a weekend get away because we actually didn't buy a home.

I regret in the past that I didn't take pictures of the homes we looked at.

One of my favorite parts of moving is looking at homes.

Here are a few. Heber was our first stop. LOVED the house, can't decide

if we want to live in Heber?

Trent planned a overnighter in Salt Lake.

We had an awesome night...it was better than looking for homes.

This house was in Highland, I didn't take a front picture...but 

this is the back yard....I thought it was cute. The house I wanted the MOST

is in Lindon. I didn't put picture on because it made me sad it didn't work out.

So, it's coming up on crunch time and we don't have a casa...OOPS!

We have never been in this predicament. Im thinking we better figure things

out fast. My friend gave me the best advice today:

"Figure out what matters most to us while living in Utah (hopefully longer than two years)and let that be our guiding light."

Well said.

Night out with my people...

We looked a little haggard, I always forget how hard this part is.
Love that Trent is who I get to look at homes with.

I Heart U

 The LOVE of my life.

The Muehlsteins had us over for their 

Annual Valentines cake decorating party.

They decorate mini cakes and deliver them...we felt like ours were too pretty

to share. I had strep this weekend so it wasn't my best weekend.

 Two Matthews

We made a toilet bowl that made a real flushing sounds for Tate's

mailbox. DON'T BE A STINKER BE MY VALENTINE! (Classy)

Life around here...

Sydney is still being a soccer star...spends hours on the field and 

is loving every minute.

We are her faithful fans...rain or shine.

I just feel like this past year Sydney is growing up too fast.

I love that she will go on walks with me and is

always up for "girl" time.  She is friendly, kind and super creative.

Love you Sydney Ann.

Tates...

TEETH and other good stuff. We live by Omar Visquel (famous short stop).

I was nervy enough to get his autograph for my Dad and Tate. Not only did I get his autograph but

my Dad wanted me to have him sign, "To my buddy George"...real cool Dad.

It was super embarrassing but at least we are moving so I don't have to feel like

an idiot at the bus stop every time I see him. He was really nice and I feel like

I am pretty much famous for getting pictures with him. (The things we do for our Dads).

It took two years but the kids finally found away up the tree behind our house.

Trent climbed up to check out the view. Apparently we have a beaver problem on the

lake behind our house...Tate is guardian of the beverres (beavers).

So cute.

Emmilia Bedilia

Turned 100...okay, not really. She hit her 100 days of Kindergarten!

She also invented the french toast kabob. She is sure going to miss her best friend 

Campbell! They have washed a lot of cars in the rain together.

Life with Finny...18 months,

Never a dull moment.

She officially started nursery this month HAPPY DANCE.

Finley makes me beam. I love that everyone 

adores her. She really is a good little caboose for our family.

The Ladies.
Finley, Grace, Colette & Juliette. These little
girls were all born within a couple of months.  

Bless you Randi Rigby. We have fights over who gets to pick up Finley from nursery.
Soo Cute.

Part dog.

Helmet head...

 Finley is a total Daddies girl.

Just exploring the hood.

Trent treated me, Finley & Bella to a row boat ride on Pine Lake.

It was scary, I thought we were going to tip over for sure.

Pretty but not really relaxing.

We had to leave our house on a Sunday afternoon while they did an open house

so we headed to Leavenworth. Okay, cutest little town.

We had a brauts...Im pretty sure they had 35 mustard options. Grandpa George would

have been one happy man.

PS...

I went back to blonde

 Bella and I took a really pretty walk.

 I love the smell of rain and wet pine.
