3 Peaks

Today Brent and I decided to go up to 3 peaks to get a break from life and to just be outside. It was a little chilly but it so beautiful. They have a swing set that overlooks the entire city. Brent and I love to go out there and just swing and to talk - especially while watching the sun set. It is a nice break from the humdrum of every day life. The view is amazing! Here are just a few pictures that we took.

Hoppy Easter!

Easter is such a special holiday. It is to remind us of the Atonement. To remind us that Christ suffered, bleed, and died for us, then after 3 days arose & left the tomb. The Atonement is such a wonderful blessing for all of us, and it means so much to me! We are so thankful for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in our home & in our lives. We are truly thankful for all the blessings we have. We have been blessed with so much - a home, an eternal marriage, wonderful family & friends, education, the peace & knowledge that the gospel brings, a prophet that loves & guides us, our health, our jobs, and for so many others!

The night before Easter we made sugar cookies & dyed eggs. We also rented "Yes Man" with Jim Carrey, and stayed up late watching movies and cuddling. We had so much fun!



In the morning we made a tasty breakfast of eggs & sausage. The Easter Bunny brought us lots of yummy candy and the movie "Bedtime Stories". When we got home from church Brent made us a terrific dinner of corned beef and seasoned potatoes. We watched the "Ten Commandments" and read the Easter Story out of the Bible. It was truly a wonderful day.!

Our new niece

Sylvia Ellen Winget.

David and Cindy had a baby girl on the 7th of April. This is their 3rd Child - Braden and Carter are their 2 boys. Sylvia is the only girl so far in our family! Yippee a Niece! She is a cutie and fits into their wonderful family perfectly!

Congrats Dave and Cindy!

The Blessing of Randall Paul Cox

Tyler & Randell Cox blessed their son Randy on the 5th of April. He is the second child for them - they have a 3 year old girl named Sally. It was so wonderful to be able to go and support them and to see old faces. Congrats to you wonderful family - Tyler & Randell!

Randy knows I'm not his mommy!

A chance to hear from our Heavenly Father

On the 4th & 5th of April we were able to listen to General Conference. We had the opportunity to hear form our wonderful and beloved prophet Thomas S. Monson and from other leaders of our church. The spirit was so strong and we learned so much. Every talk was wonderfully given and each was unique and different but equally powerful and important. There were so many talks that impressed me and I felt the spirit so much!

We went to Sanpete after Brent worked on Saturday and were able to spend time with my family - which was so nice! Brent & Cam decided to go to the Priesthood session together. They said it was really hot but also very powerful & they were glad that they went.

I can't wait until the ensign comes out so I can re-read them and improve myself. I am so grateful and excited to be able to watch conference again. I just wish it would come sooner.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO...

MY WONDERFUL HUBBY - BRENT!!!

Brent had his 27th Birthday yesterday!

Brent asked for the lemon cake his mom used to make. I tried so hard to scourer the web for a recipe that sounded close. It turned out really good and I think he liked it. Brent told me that I couldn't put candles on his cake this year.. unless it was the number 9. I laughed so hard but ultimately decided that it would work because 2+7 =9. I bought Brent a really fun game for the PS3 called "Little Big Planet". I am so excited to learn how to play and play together.

Sunday night we had my cousins Ryan & Melanie Sorensen and their cute kids over for dinner and cake. We had so much fun watching them play on the wii fit. I totally wish I would have recorded Ryan and his son Taylor hoola-hooping. It was so funny. I really love getting together with them and growing our relationship. They will actually be moving to Page, Arizona soon. I am really excited for them but will miss them terribly!

On his birthday we celebrated with our friends Kim & Anna -who's Birthday was the day before, so we had a double party. We had really yummy food. Everyone really liked the cake I made! We played games and talked for the rest of the night. I am so glad to gain a good friendship with Kim and Anna. They are really awesome people!

Below are a few pictures (sorry I didn't get more) - enjoy!
