Gorgeous baby Alexa

Since I haven't seen her in a few days (because Taylor is sick), I thought I'd just post a few pictures of the beautiful Alexa. And brag a little too. I have THE most gorgeous little niece on the planet. Look at all that hair! Good work Chris and Rommel. Proud of you!

Easter

We had a great Easter weekend. We started out at my dad' s neighborhood Easter egg hunt/breakfast(Excellent pancakes dad!). Taylor even got to meet the Easter Bunny, and wow did she love that. You should have seen the look on her face when he (or she?) came walking around the corner! It was great. As you can see in the pictures below, she definitely scored quite a bit of candy, which I happily donated to the staff break room at my office. Sorry guys. We also wandered over to Wheeler Farm that afternoon with my mom so Tay could go on a pony ride and see the animals. The day ended with a light dinner and another Easter egg hunt at Justyn's parents' home. Tay was worn out but really enjoyed herself. After attending church on Sunday, and Taylor learning more about why we celebrate Easter, her evening prayer included "praying for the mean men, that they won't get to Jesus and put nails in his hands and feet". Justyn and I could barely hold back our laughs! It was such a sweet and innocent prayer, and despite my efforts to explain that Jesus' crucifixion has already happened, she still includes Jesus and the mean men in her daily prayers.

A party for Baby Alexa

What a better reason to celebrate! Great food, great fun and great company. Thank you SO much to everyone who helped with Christy's shower on Saturday. Only six weeks till that little bambino gets here (or is it bambina?). I can't wait to see that beautiful baby. Oh, p.s., if you were all wondering(and I'm sure you were), I did NOT make that cake pictured below. Just want to clarify and make sure you weren't confused. Now, that amazing diaper cake pictured, my sister Jenn DID make it. Pretty impressive, huh?

Buddies

We took Taylor and her little friend Isa to Disney On Ice this weekend. They had a great time at the show, giggling with each other and eating popcorn and cotton candy till they couldn't fit anymore into their bellies. (Sorry Camille!) But thanks for letting us steal Isa for a few hours. Tay loves having her around. Here are few pics...

Mushing in Park City

Yes, I'm sure you were all wondering- Is Amy a dog musher? Does she go out, in freezing cold weather, with a dozen dogs, and try to steer them all in the right direction? Does she deal with dog hair and crazy, hyper dogs on a mountain trail, possibly running in different directions from each other? Absolutely not. I was the qualified spectator. We must give my mom the award for this amazing feat. Wow. Proud of you mom- 1st place too!

Finally, an update...

Ok, so I know I have been a total slacker when it comes to updating this thing, but life has been very busy. Blogging has been on the bottom of my list. Now that we are finally settled(somewhat) into our new home and loving it, I will attempt to update our happenings over the last few months. Few words, lots of pics, Amy-style. That way, the three or four of you that actually look at my blog will be able to enjoy.
