Happy Easter

We had a wonderful Easter this year. It was June's first, and even though she had no idea what was going on, I think she had a good time. The "Easter Bunny" left June's basket right out in the middle of the floor so she could find it in the morning and their were lots of Easter eggs all around that she could pick up. June got to wear her Easter dress to church - it matched her eyes and she of course looked adorable.

We went down to Pocatello to my brother and sister-in-law's house for an Easter Egg Hunt and Easter dinner. The Easter Egg Hunt was so much fun. There was no snow outside so the kids got to go out into the yard to find the eggs.

We put June on the grass so she could go find some eggs with her cousins, but having never crawled on grass before she didn't know what to think. I just picked her up and carried her to some of the eggs she could pick up.

June and I had gone up to Island Park a few days before Easter with my Mom, Rose, Krissy, Addy, and Alex for a "Girls Only Get-Away" to the cabin. There is still so much snow up there. I pulled June in the sled and she loved it (although, she is crying in this picture). I also got to go cross country skiing, which is surprisingly fun. I don't think they will need me for the Olympic team, but you never know!!

Wearing of the Green

Happy St. Patricks Day to all of you fellow celebrators. We have had a traditional Corned Beef and Cabbage dinner for years now with my family and the Smith family (or should I say the McRammell's and the O'Smiths). It is so much fun to celebrate this holiday and every year the food just gets better and better - I give credit completly to my mom and Krissy who can make anything taste good (even cabbage). This year my brother Preston dressed up like a leprachaun for school and wore it to the party as well - yes that really is a green suit!!! By the way, Preston was selected to be on the Post Register's All Area Wrestling team this year. Way to go bud.

This past weekend we headed down to Logan to attend my cousin Jarom's wedding. It was fun to see all of my cousins that live so far away that I don't get to see them often. The wedding was very lovely and we are all so happy for Jarom and Mindy.

Say So Long

I have chopped my hair off!!! Yes, that is right I finally did it. My hair has been long for so many years now, and it was time for a change. I have been thinking about doing it for months now, but I always would chicken out and convince myself not to. My sister cut hers off last week and that gave me the courage I needed. Now my hair goes to my SHOULDERS . I cut off about ten inches and I donated it to "Locks of Love." I like it and I think it will be easier for me to do something with it now, but I have to admit that I do miss my long hair when I look at this picture.

Powder

Finally!!!!!!! I went skiing this past Saturday night and I loved every second of it. The conditions were incredible. It was snowing when we got to the resort and there was untouched powder on lots of the runs. It felt so good to ski again after having to sit out last season. Sean and I went with Brett and Margaret (my brother and sister-in-law) who were visiting from Utah. Now that I have been I am itching to go again!

We also took June swimming for the first time this weekend. She LOVED it. I am so happy that she likes the water I could burst. Sean is a little scared of the water, so I worry about my kids being scared too, but it looks like I am not going to have that problem with June. She was kicking and splashing just like a fish. On Sunday my new nephew Preston was blessed and we spent the day at my sister-in-law Amber's house. It was fun to visit with family and just relax. I wish every weekend were like this one.
