6 Years baby!

I got pictures taken for our 6 year wedding anniversary to surprise Nate....here's a glimpse!

A little Birthday Craziness!

Just celebrated my 28th Birthday last week. Ahhh!! Nate helped through me my first surprise party ever!! I literally had no idea! I thought I was going to work that night...they told me that a special party had requested me to serve them. I walked in and the party that had requested me was my own!! It was a blast!!! They then had a party bus come pick us up and take us downtown...too fun!

My family through me a bbq swim party as well...

Cousin Love

So the Page Family got to come visit from Cali last week! We had so much fun with them!! THe kids had a great time together!

Of course Hailey had to introduce Maddie to her good friend Red!

Goodbye Preschool!

Hailey had her last day of preschool last Thursday :( We loved her teachers and team so much! They played such a big part in her life and we are so thankful that that they shared in our first school experience! We will miss you guys!!!!

Saw Dust Out the Ears!

Chances are I will be cleaning up saw dust for the rest of my life....but our hardwood floors are finally finished! The furniture back in place...not so much! This is the only room that is mostly finished so that I could grab a quick pic. What a process this has been and I am so ready for my house to be back in order! Nate is also tiling both bathrooms upstairs and refinishing the cupboards...so it's pretty much like a war zone around here. We are trying to get everything finished and organized by the time the nanny comes May 20Th... It is helpful to have a deadline...works well for us!

Happy Easter!

Sista's in the Sun! (ish)

Finally getting back into the swing of things after being on vacation! It's been in the high 60's to low 70's lately so we are starting to bust out our summer clothes whenever possible! Park days are the best!!!

We are getting new hardwood floors in the entire downstairs so it been a zoo around here! All of the furniture has to be in the garage...it's noisy and there are workers coming in and out constantly...hoping to be finished by Friday!!!

Soo...Big News....I think we found our live in nanny!!!! I just met her and had an interview with her yesterday and have been emailing back and forth for a few days now. She is 19 and adorable! (like that has anything to do with it) She is very sweet and has lots of experience babysitting. She is a freshman in college and goes to school in Denver. Her family lives in Montana so she is just here for school. I'm calling her references today and doing a background check. Then she will be doing a few weeks of regular babysitting for us just to make sure she knows what she is getting herself into ;) I have such a good feeling!!!! If all goes well she will be moving in May 20th and will be trading 45-50 hours babysitting for free rent and utilities! I will then be able to work and not spend any money on childcare! Sounds like a great plan to me!!!!!!!!

Hailey is doing great! She has been talking about August coming up..."my birthday month!"
Ashtyn is also doing well...still not talking very much...but we are convinced it's because Hailey does all the talking for her!!! She says a few words like mama, dada, hi, yeah, good. She does sign for everything...so trying to teach her to use the words along with signing! She truly is such a happy kid and LOVES to do pretty much anything outside!!

We CANNOT wait for the pool to open...we will be there EVERYDAY!!!!

Livin' the Dream

Cancun 2010 Some of our closest friends from Kingsburg, Glen and Emily met us there!

Literally we ate, drank, layed out...got dressed and then ate some more!!! I think I gained 5 lbs! :) There was a few messages in there and the boys got to go golfing and played a lot of volleyball as well!

Checkin' out Play Del Carmen

Best friends back together again!

The pool went on forever!

One of the restaurants at our resort!

Our living room

Our bedroom... Glen and Emily had one just like it on the other side of the living room!

It was amazing!! Now back to reality! :(

We are ALIVE!!!!

I know I've been terrible at keeping this blog updated! Couldn't be busier...but honestly that's just the way that I like it! ;) I started managing at my restaurant about a month ago. My official title is the "Assistant Manager" and I even have an email address and business cards...funny how exciting that is for me ;) I truly love it and I love my staff and my co-workers! I got the opportunity to escape to Steamboat a few weeks back for a girls weekend away...it's was so refreshing! Had to hit up the hot springs while we were there!The girls are doing great! Hailey just finished her last day of school yesterday and is out for 3 LONG weeks! Nate went and registered her for Kindergarten yesterday AHHHH I honestly cannot believe it! She will be starting this fall and will be going full time...yes that means all day everyday! What a big girl...

Ashtyn is doing well also...slowly starting to a few words but is often interrupted by the big sis.

Here's a few picture of us visiting the Butterfly Pavilion.

From snow...

...to spring in a matter of days! Can't wait for more warm whether!
Just starting to get things ready for CANCUN!!! We leave in less than 2 weeks! Nate's job is starting to pick up a little...which means I will start to have to get more childcare for the girls :(

We are possibly going to see if we could get a live in nanny when Aunt Jordan moves out in May. Possibly a college student that we could pay a little and would have free rent in exchange for watching 2 cute little kids! ;) We'll see what we can find!

Catch ya'll on the flip side!
