Brenan's Commencement dance

Brenan went to his Commencement dance and he took Ashley Hitz.  They had a really fun time.  They went 4 wheeling for their day date.  He is one handsome boy.  He has always loved white tuxedos.

Women's Week

This year almost all of us went to Women's week at BYU.  We had a blast.  Marcy was extremely pregnant and Melissa was pregnant but other than that we had fun.  I think Marcy had had it because she was totally ready to pop.  Rachel, Marcy, Melissa, Sha'Nell, Mandy, Melanee and me.  Denise was there too with friends of hers.  A very inspiring week for all of us plus a lot of laughing and just enjoying being away.

Easter at the cabin

For Easter we went to a cabin in Island Park.  We loved this cabin it was called the Buffalo River cabin.  We loved the open kitchen and living area.  We all had a great time together.  It just happened to be conference weekend so that was great to get to watch conference as a family.  We played games, ate, watched TV, ate, played more games, ate, ate, and ate.

 Kandice was a little sleepy.
 Aint that a pretty face:)
 Kendall pondering on the mexican food he was making.
 Oh Matt looks real good.  It's a good thing he's engaged.
 Alli looking a little grouchy
 Posing for a picture.
 Oh real nice Alli.  I don't even want to know what she was eating.





 Rachel's like are you kidding me.

 I don't think Kandice wants to share the couch

 Matt is also a little sleepy I wonder what these two have been up to that makes them so tired.








 The funniest thing happened but it was a little scary too.  Brenan is always putting people in head locks.  Dave was sitting at the bar eating almonds and Brenan put him a head lock.  Dave immediately fell to the ground unconcious.  Rachel started screaming and everyone just stood there.  I wasn't paying attention and didn't see what had happened.  I ran over and started shaking him and saying his name.  I thought maybe he had had a heart attack.  He finally looked at me and said what are you doing.  We started to laugh.  Rachel was real shook up but Brenan was really nervous.  He said doesn't he know he is supposed to tap out.  Dave had never passed out before and thought it was pretty cool.  Brenan kept making me check on him through the night because he was afraid he had damaged him.  It scared all of us for a little while. 
 It was March madness and the TV didn't have the channel we needed to watch.  Kendall was a little torqued he had to watch it on his lap top.
 Matt and Kandice cooking breakfast




 Dave vacuuming we always want to get a picture of Dave doing housework.


 Easter morning everyone enjoying the Easter egg hunt.  When you put cash in the eggs everyone looks really hard.




 Brenan still hunting for eggs


 It snowed and snowed up there.  It was so pretty to watch it snow in the trees all day.  Dave and Kendall going out to ride.





We absolutely loved the cabin and had such a great time.
