Pioneer Park in Provo

a new park we went to by the hospital in provo called Pioneer Park. we really liked it and it has a splash pad too so I hope we can make it out there often this summer

I'm a little late on writing about Mother's day but the week before I worked three 12 hour days up in Logan and I stayed with my mom and Dean stayed home and worked. I missed him so much! when we got home on the saturday before mother's day he said he got me something and before our night prayers we were kneeling by our bed and he got out my old wedding ring box and said, "will you marry me again?" we laughed and I opened it and he got me an antique spoon ring!! i have always wanted one and he took the initiative to search for this little boutique that sold them and he got me the right size too! good guesser :) he was so thoughtful all weekend! he made me breakfast and dinner, he couldn't stop talking to me, he was so lovey dovey and kept saying how much he missed me. (i should leave more often so when I get back I get treated this way) haha kidding! i really hate being away from him, I feel like a piece of me is missing. I know it's a little cheesy but I even missed being annoyed of him (which sometimes I do feel but not all the time) anyway…this mother's day was a great one! i'm so thankful I can bear children and I have a husband who is a good father and cares about our kids. I'm so thankful I have a boy and a girl, I'm so thankful for my mom and mother in law, and I love everything about my role as a mother, well I am learning to love the hard parts cuz i'm not gonna lie being a parent is the HARDEST thing I have ever ever done! it sucks sometimes and I cry a lot but I really just try and hang onto the good moments and the times when my heart wants to burst with love. that's what life is really about family!

yardwork

I'm so lucky to have Dean and he is so talented when it comes to yard work and landscaping, he has some ideas for our front yard and we decided we are going to plant some better grass-the kind that we had was so thick and hard, and itchy-so this was our saturday all day we even hired to young boys from our ward, Ryan Linquist and Jamison Judd, to help us (i'm not much help with 2 little ones) but I did do some lifting of the sod. I can't wait to post some before and after which probably won't be until late summer.

April Randoms...

our little monkey climbing up all by himself

easter egg hunt with some neighbors

Baylor hates the feel of grass and he has a strong core holding himself up like this for quite a while

Mya reading her babies a book :)

Dean working hard at tilling the garden getting ready to plant next week! love him!

Here are the before and after pics of Mya's room/future craft room when the basement is finished. I still want to get some sort of curtain or valence on her window, but its basically done…

Easter 2014

We spent Easter weekend in Richmond but we spent most of saturday in Franklin. On saturday we went around all of Geraldine's neighbors that had baby animals we saw chicks, lambs, and goats-the goats were my favorite! we then went to franklin and had a candy hunt in the parents backyard, we painted eggs (while Mya was painting her eggs Dustin started caressing her cheek with his finger-he loves his nieces-and Mya is so used to him mauling her that it didn't even bug her hahaha), we had a yummy lunch, and Dean and I took a fun and fast drive in my dad's new side by side. I inherited my gma Smith's dining room table that was given to her when she was married by her parents! I absolutely love it! (I'll get a pic of it soon)
On Easter Sunday Mya found her easter basket and we went to church in Richmond and had a delicious dinner and we just hung out until it was time to load up and head back home.
Easter is my favorite holiday next to Christmas and I love spring time!
