I tried

I think I have been out of the blogging loop too long. I'm staring at some pictures and then staring at the screen and I can't for the life of me figure out how to combine some words and pictures without it being anything but a snoozer! So I think I'm going to keep this simple. Baby steps here people.

First off the kids and I took a spontaneous trip to San Diego with my mom and Will. Will was anxious to go see some people from his mission and I was anxious to do some California shopping so it worked out well for both parties.

 I texted this picture to Matthew from California and he almost drove down to make an offer...I think it has a really homey vibe don't you?

 

 Petco Park. Other then the fact I have no eyes and my hair looks like I'm in a 80's butt rock band, it's really creepy to get a family picture with your brother. People walking by kept smiling at us like "what a cute family" This is not the first time we have been mistaken as a couple and it creeps me out Every time!! I kept yelling out brother sort of loud at random times just so I didn't feel so dirty.

Oh, my house is the one on the left

 Who would of thought you could get the farm vibe right in the center of San Diego

 took these pics in a park where Will later informed me has had several murders in lately..

Shoved between two car seats in the back of a car = good times

We got home from SD and the next day Laken turned 5! She made a list of everything she wanted to do and it went something like this. Eat waffles with whipped cream and strawberries,go to cupcake shop, go swimming, go fishing,go to target, go to jumpin jacks, go to pirate island pizza.

We managed to do everything but replaced fishing with pedicures. She was hilarious and wanted zebra on her toes. Oh, and I may have told her that pirate island pizzas ovens were broken. Yes I'm that selfish and reeeaallly didn't feel like cardboard pizza so we went to Texas Road House. I sold her on it because I told her she got to ride a saddle and they would sing to her. But when we got there the booth beside us had a birthday and the terror on her face was priceless! Lets just say she didn't sit on the saddle.

Went on an Amazing Hike a couple of days ago. One of the many reasons I love St. George. Within 10 minutes you are in mind blowing landscapes

 We were in an underground cave which was pitch black...why am I the only one who looks like a crack addict?

Had an Epic Easter Egg hunt yesterday. Track found a few eggs and was totally satisfied. Laken swept the lawn probably fifteen times like there was a bounty for each egg she found.

Okay so this is not her only dress it just so happens it was her Easter dress and I let her wear it a week early in San Diego and that happened to be the day I took a bunch of pics so don't judge.


There. Our month. Left a little to be desired. I'll work on it.
