Happy Birthday Tyler!!!

Happy Birthday Tyler!! We can't believe you're 5 years old! We love you goofball:)
Tyler got a basketball hoop for his birthday - I don't know whose been playing with it more, Chase or Tyler! Today we were playing a little 2 on 1, Chase against me and Tyler, I don't know the last time I have laughed so hard it was a little wild:) He also got a green spotted snake , and a snake cake which looks like it might have been frosted by Tyler himself ha ha. We had a couple of friends over to help us celebrate Tylers special day, and I think he felt pretty special!













Happy Easter

We had a great Easter this year. The kids had fun dying Easter eggs, finding their Easter baskets, and learning about Jesus. Tyler was especially curious this year about the ressurection, and I am always amazed at the faith of little kids! Halle got a pony in her basket and Tyler got the card game "Go Fish" along with way to much sugar and junk, but it was fun:) We had a couple of friends over for Easter dinner which turned out really nice, and we were glad that we had someone to share our day with. Hope everyone had a Happy Easter!

Our First Visitors!!!

Two of my most FAVORITE people, my mom and dad, I LOVE you!!!! We got to do so many fun things on their trip out to Cleveland. Here is the very brief rundown ( I tried posting this a minute ago in much more detail and then somehow navigated away from the page and lost it all so this will be less detailed:) On Wed night when the fam got into town we went to eat at the Cheesecake factory, yum! Thursday we went to Kirtland and saw the Kirtland Temple, NK Whitney store, Whitney home, school of the prophets, and visitors center. It was so awesome to feel the spirit of Kirtland (only 25 min away from our house if anyone is thinking of visiting:) That night we ate at Brio a really yummy Italian restaurant mmmmmmmm! On Friday we went to Cosco and loaded up (thanks mom and dad:) and that's when the worst storm in 25 years started, seriously, if you think MT gets a lot of snow OH put it to shame!! We were pretty much snowed in for the rest of that day, but it was so fun hanging with the fam, and the kids loved the attention! Saturday everyone went to the Cleveland Cavaliers B ball game to see LEBRON!! The kids got to swim at the hotel and eat pizza which we all thought was really fun. Halle is still talking about gwandpa splashing her in the pool:) Sunday church was cancelled due to the wild blizard outside, so we got to spend more time with our fam. This post doesn't even start to describe what a great time we had with them, and we miss them terribly!!! WE LOVE YOU!

Me and my cute sisters Camille on the left and Chloe on the right, we were so happy they got to come out to Cleveland!!!!!

While everyone was at the game, Halle and I made smoothie popscicles, carrot and spinach puree (I'll have to explain that one on a different post) and chocolate strawberries. She ended up having an ear infection and pink eye in both eyes, she looks pathetic, but really acted pretty happy.


This picture was taken in the school of the prophets. The back wall is the original wall, so we in a sense got to rub shoulders with many of the former prophets of the church! Since we were the only ones on this tour, they gave our family time to be in this room together alone, there is an amazing spirit about this place especially when you stop to think about all that happened here!!







The Newell K Whitney store


Me, Ty, and Halle in front of the Kirtland temple. We sure missed Chase who was at school and had to miss out.





Tyler and Halle in front of the Kirtland Temple.






This girl has some serious hops! I'm pretty sure this was Halle getting all riled up because gma and gpa were here!







Everyone was pretty excited to go to this game to watch LEBRON, he's the
MAN! Chloe and Camille don't play basketball, watch basketball, talk about
basketball, or even really care about it, but they were pumped to watch
LEBRON!


Chase and Tyler at the game! Tyler got to eat a hot dog, cotton candy, popcorn, pop, what's not to love? When the Cavs scored 100 points they told the audience that everyone would get a free chalupa from Taco Bell. Ty thought he would get his chalupa at that moment plus he thought it was a toy, and cried about it the whole way home:)
