Canyon{Lands}...

We went camping for a whole week and it was so amazing!!! This is the longest we have gone camping with Aubri so far and she LOVED it!! She was such a trooper.
Yes, we took Aubri on the 4-wheeler, but only once and we went VERY slow. She loved it! Yet another use for the Moby!! LOL she was laughing for most of the ride and then fell asleep. I sat behind Chandler so Aubri was inbetween us. She kept holding Chandler's neclace like horse reigns it was funny. My child loved to walk around holding my hand. The rocks were throwing her balance off. But overall she did well.

Grandma Peggy, KK, and Aubri having fun in the trailor.

The next couple shots are of my injuries I sustaned after rolling the 4-wheeler I was riding. We went for a long ride one day and there were six of us on 4-wheelers and Trish and Kari were in the Hemi with the babies and I was the last one in the line of 4-wheelers and Trish and Kari were behind me in the hemi. I went over a bump and lost control and then hit a huge rock that made me flip, I don't know exactly what happened, but my leg was stuck under the wheel and I got scraped up pretty bad and thorns were all over my arm and lower back (chandler found a random thorn by my shoulder blade), I think I knocked my jaw out of line but it was better by the next day. I am okay, just a little sore now. Luckily nothing serious.













Aubri and Chandler, SOOOO Cute.






We went on this new trail, it was soooo beautiful!! We need to go back and do the whole trail, when I'm not all banged up.







Jayci and Aubri were kissing, but by the time I got the camera out Aubri wasn't cooperating very well, but it was still cute.







Jonathan was making Aubri laugh so hard, it was so cute. They were like best buds.


Aubri and Grandpa Dan had lots of fun on the 4-wheeler. Can I just say my dad is hilarious on his 4-wheeler!! He just goes and goes, it's funny.






Again, Aubri and Jayci had lots of fun toether. Aubri kept picking up rocks like they were the coolest thing ever and then she would put them in her mouth and throw them down. It was making me laugh.



Okay, I don't remember this because I was sleeping after my crash, but I found the pics on my camera today and thought it was so cute. Jayci loves it when Adam and Michael throw her.

A big thanks to my dad for this wonderful trip!! We had a great time. I'm going to put an ice pack on my back.. Later!












Easter...

Easter was so fun this year!! We went to dads house to color eggs, we had to boil more at dad's house because I accidently burned the ones I had boiled earlier. I really burned boiled eggs....sad but true. I put the eggs in water on the stove and walked away and completely forgot about them. By the time Chandler realized that I had forgotten them, all the water had evaporated and the eggs were cracked and brown. Sad. Oh well....

I died an egg and handed it to Aubri and she LOVED it!! LOL this is what she did....

So excited, she then proceeded to crack it open and eat the egg. silly girl!


This is Aubri at the egg hunt at Mountain View High School. They had some good stuff, and some pretty good coupons too. I liked this egg hunt they had different areas for the different age groups. Aubri was confused and didn't know exactly what to do, but Chandler helped her out.

Here is Aubri and her first Easter basket. She was so cute and actually wore the bunny ears for quite a while. She got two cute eater dresses and shoes to match, a fun ball that rolls on it's own and plays music, a swing and lots of candy that her daddy ate for her.

After church we went to Aunt Val's house for dinner. Chandler got to experience the passover for the first time, so fun. I love that she does that every year, what a wonderful tradition.

Enjoy{ment}...

I have been enjoying a lot of things lately. I am enjoying working from my home, cooking yummy meals for my husband and I (and sometimes others), I have definately been enjoying the spring weather (eventhough it has been quite sparatic), and I most definately have been enjoying my daughter grow and learn. Aubri is a BIG fan of her new swing!! She just laughs and laughs and squeals and laughs some more the entire time she is in it. I will have to post a video of her sometime, it's too much. Aubri can point to my nose, eyes, lips, teeth and ears upon request, she can sign when she is hungry, and has just enough hair to get two pigtails. She is a pro at walking (has been for a while now) and is trying to run. She will climb stairs in a second and tries to walk down them like a big kid. She has no fear/concept of heights/edges, she will walk off the edge of anything without hesitation. She is getitng so big so fast! In one month and 6 days she will be a year old! time flies.

Aubri is a also a big fan of bathtime! She will sit in the water, I think, for ever if we would let her. And although I said she is getting big, she still is so small that on most occasions, we still give her baths in the kitchen sink! haha Her doctor says she is a "Perfect, petite Princess" lol


My nephew and two nieces stayed over on friday night. We had a lot of fun. I have been saving cans, cereal boxes, baby food containers, papertowel tubes, and just about anything else that can double as a craft for quite a while now and on Saturday my saving paid off. My two little nieces were "bored" and wanted to make something so we deciede to make bird feeders out of the papertowel tubes! It was so fun and they turned out way cute!!


I hope the birds like them as much as I do! :)

~A little update on my plants...My green beans are doing quite well and All of my corn has at least popped up, I have some small tomatoes growing, so all in all I think I'm doing ok for my first garden...but only if you don't compare my seedlings to anybody else's. lol Even my moms seedlings are like twice the size of mine!! But hopefully they will do just fine for me....we will see.
