We would have to say we had a fabulous time staying at our condo in St. George for Spring break. We started out with Alayda's birthday, Easter the next day with all the Westcott fam. Played with our friends the Webbs and Youngs. It was an extremely relaxing fun week and SOOO good to be the SUN. Thank goodness for Spring Break we all came back rejuvenated and happy. :)

Easters

 We came down to St. George for the week of Spring Break. It was Alayda's birthday. So we celebrated her birthday...the next day was Easter. It is our family tradish to have the Easter bunny hide the baskets. Cole stayed the night with his grandparents and cousins at the house they rented and we stayed at our condo. So no pic's of Cole until the Easter egg hunt...

Happy Birthday to me.

Another year older. Not to exciting. So funny when you are younger all you want to do is grow up. I remember riding with my sister Amanda my big wheel on the sidewalks of Monticello...stopping at my pretend stop lights dreaming of when I can really drive. And now here I am. I am a taxi driver for our children and I love it. Maybe not all the running around but, I love to drive still.
I'm getting  older...and all I want to do is to remain young and carefree. I guess instead of going out dancing like I use to, the kitchen and front room has become my stage. I still love to do it. Our children know all my 80's songs and see me dance often. My sweet husband will go along with me when I ask him to dance a "slow dance" with music or to our own. I'm grateful that he does. It makes me happy. So another year has come and at least I am still doing things I love. Like dancing, being a wife, a mother, a daughter,a sister and friend. I'm blessed.

Wow! Look at us...  No don't look at us. We took this at 1 am...after going to dinner for the bday ...we came back and talked for hours. We are missing a few... Jess and Candace. But, I wanted to get us in. So there you have it. Tired girlie's that always have a smile for a camera! :)

Bryce took me to dinner and shopping for my birthday. It was wonderful! He is such a great sport. Thank you baby.
