Happy Moms Day/Utah Trip

first off, happy mothers day to all those moms out there! like i said last year, i feel that even though you may not have a child, you are a mother to any child that enters your life. you care for them, make sure they are safe, and love them just like your own. so happy mothers day to all the women out there! here are some pics from my wonderful mothers day!

making me a chocolate pie!

my wonderful fam!

well this past weekend we went to utah for reece bakers wedding. he didn't know we were going to be at the temple waiting for him to get out, and he was very surprised to see spencer. we wanted to go in to the wedding, but when a baker gets married everyone comes and we didn't want to take up any space. they are a great couple. the luncheon and reception were great! it gave us a chance to remember our own wedding and what a great and wonderful day it was! it was a great weekend. we also went shopping!!! spencer even found me a great british store!!! of course i went kinda crazy! here are some pics from this weekend. just some temple sq pics and some other stuff where i'm trying out my artistic skills....lol. (sorry i didn't really get pics of the bride and groom!)

prom 2

so tonight i have been asked to the fhe dance.

yesterday i found a note that started me on a mini scavenger hunt around the apt. at the end was a note saying, will you go to the fhe dance with me? and then 3 boxes to follow: yes, no, and heck no. so i sent spencer on a mini scavenger hunt with the answer yes. spencer later told me that it was to make up for high school and that he never asked me to a dance. so tonight people, spencer and i are going to dress up and have a dance in our living room. boutonnière and all (lol with some fake flowers we have lying around.)

so folks, i am very excited. it may sound very corny, but it is one of the cutest things spencer has ever done. we will be taking pictures dont you worry! i'll post them tomorrow!

finding things to do....

yesterday was the start of spencer's "weekend" so he had asked me to plan something fun. i'm also trying to find more things for adyson to experience and learn from. well, since it being rexburg, i had to find something inside. well i went to rexburg.org to find about some of the museums i've heard about around here. i found the teton dam flood and childrens museum. it was ok, gave us something to do. it was 4 bucks for all of us so i really cant complain. there were lots of things to look at, like old dresses, pictures, a 20 min movie about the flood, and such. the things that they have in there are kinda cool to look at. its not all about the big flood. there was one thing that adyson loved...and even went under the ropes to get! a 75 yr old baby doll carriage and a 45 yr old doll! i had to jump the ropes to get her and put the doll back while spencer distracted the coordinator! the childrens part was ok. there were pictures to color, animal masks to make, a big house stairs thing to climb on and toys to play with. heck i was bored in there, but adyson loved it. the theme was farm animals and next month is plants. if you're bored and looking for something to do inside, go do this. its in the tabernacle basement. gave us something to do so we dont go crazy from sitting in the apt all day!!!

climbing on the big toy

mask that daddy made for me!

ZOO

so yesterday we decided to take adyson to the zoo. well more take me, i love animals... last time we took adyson she was around 6 months old and sat there like a bump on a log. this time it was very fun! adyson loved feeding the ducks and pelicans, seeing the sloth bear, petting a baby goat...which tried to eat our clothes... seeing the crazy monkeys and she esp loved seeing the lions and tiger. it was a very fun day and i am so excited to go back when everything is out (some things were still inside due to the weather still being slightly cold). we are planning on becoming members....i think for my sake! well anyway, i posted most of this pics on facebook, but for those of you who dont use it, here are the pics for those of you! enjoy

Easter! (and a bonus video!)

(forgot to put this in the slide)

so easter was fun this year. right before easter my mom and i took a psanky (sp) (russian/ukrainian egg painting) class. it was really fun, expensive but fun. its a process where you take wax and special dyes and make designs on the egg. then after you are all done you melt the wax off. i know that descripton doesnt really explain what it is, and theres more to it....sorry, its a long process!

anyway....so i've been here in moses lake since the 19th. spencer stayed behind to finish up classes and so we were going to be apart for easter.....that is until spencer came home to surprise us! so he was with us the whole weekend! on saturday we went to get a picture with the easter bunny (which adyson did not like and had to have kalei sit with her) and then headed to quincy lakes to go with crystal and josh to the Tolly family easter egg hunt! (josh's fam). it was really fun and they go ALL out! candy was everywhere and adyson made $11!! that night we dyed eggs with my fam and i must say that we are a very talented bunch!

sunday was easter and due to the fact that it was conference, we didnt get a picture in easter clothes. oh well, we'll get some on monday at sears with my fam. anywho... we had a little easter egg hunt for the girls in my parents back yard and had yummy easter lunch. after wards we headed to the kings to have dinner and adyson had another fun easter egg hunt. we spent the rest of the day there spending time with family... and me being a spaz i totally didnt get ANY pictures when we were out there! i know that cathy got some, so could i please get some! lol anyway it was a really great easter and thank you everyone for the easter gifts!

these pics are from what i just explained and then some bonus ones!

and a video for daddy!

my new toy!!!!!

^

so i got this cool new toy for easter from my mom and dad. i know, easter isnt til tomorrow, but my fam sometimes cant wait! also.....i know this is a kids screen printing kit, but the one i want (yudu) is 300 bucks!! $15 is WAY better. and this is cool!

^

i've been testing out plain shirts that adyson has. this is my second shirt that i've done. still learning. the paint bleed, i gotta work on that.

^

this is the first one i have finished. LOVE IT!!! i think i might add some green hawaiian flowers if i find a stencil.

(sorry, she looks a little glazed over in this pic)

my favorite stencil the kit came with!!!!! the kit comes with paint, stencils, bases to hold the shirts (small one and a large one) and some other things. i love it! i need more shirts to do! i think i'll find a shirt for me!!! its soooo cool. i am so excited to try some other things on it!
