Crazy Easter Road Trip

This Easter we decided to get crazy and drive to Arizona for the Easter pageant.

Swimming in shower caps...crazy Carly!



Waiting two hours for an hour pageant....crazy dumb





Nothing crazy about the stage...but look closely at the sign. No seat saving...crazy. We are Mormon that is what we do, save whole rows.

Where does the Easter bunny hide the baskets for my kids to hunt for them? Crazy high!!

Sugar at 8am...crazy and hyper kids.

Crazy in love even after 4 kids...or maybe just wanted to gross out the kids at the Arizona temple.

The best part of the weekend is the crazy Easter story Brody came away with after our effort to really focus on Easter.

Batman smashed the rock(boulder) in front of the cave(tomb) where Jesus died. Then Batman took out Jesus and saved him.

Thanks to Batman for a Happy Easter!!

King of the Front Yard

Brody...why are you in the front yard in your underwear?

I am not in my underwear...I am Tarzan!!! Sorry, my mistake...keep playing.

Never Enough Soccer

Just my annual soccer photos

Scott is assistant coaching this year and even refs when the real ref is a no show.

This is the real coach...his BFF
Sydney's BFF

This is Carly's soccer team and as a side note they are in the movie Lincoln Lawyer. They play soccer against Matthew McConaughey's daughter. There jerseys are navy and say Empire soccer on them. They got the part not because of their soccer skills but they liked the teams jerseys. I think it is rated R so fast forward to the soccer part:)

My Clown Shoes

So I have been going through lots of stuff to get rid of for the garage sale. It is not hard for me to get rid of stuff. I can't figure out why I can't get rid of these shoes. I have had them 10 years and have never worn them.

A long time ago Scott gave me these for a gift. He went online at Nike and designed these shoes. They were really expensive and if you look close at the tongue of the shoe he had them monogrammed...Bear and Honey...our nicknames. It was so thoughtful and he knows I love running shoes. They are just so ugly I could never bring myself to wear them in public. I began calling them my clown shoes because I thought the colors just were ugly together. This may make me sound heartless because it really was a thoughtful gift. He keeps asking me why have I not thrown them out in 10 years. As I was cleaning out my shoes for this garage sale...I had to ask myself why can't I get rid of these. Maybe I am not that heartless because every time I see these shoes I smile and I think of his thoughtful gestures. He has given me great gifts and surprises, but yet I hold onto these shoes. Is it weird that I feel loved each time I look at these shoes.

If I ever had to dress up for a clown I know the first item of clothes for my costume...is that heartless?

Monkey Business

Taylor and her friend Becca had a garage sale this weekend to earn money for girls camp. They worked hard and reaped the financial benefits.

Sydney and Carly wanted to reap some financial benefits and sold some donuts and juice. My favorite item that was donated to the garage sale was this monkey dress. I loved it. I was happy to see it did not sell and I plan on wearing it to something special.
Just a close up so you can see the intricate sparkle details on the monkey.

My Job

Sometimes...just sometimes I feel a little bad playing while my husband has to work. "Do you have a busy day today?"...."yep, busy, busy." I love my job!

Votes are in

And the Oscar goes too,,,,

Carly for her role as 2 of Diamonds in Alice of Wonderland

The most coveted title of all goes to me...for set designer of the brick wall. Don't look at it bending...Humpty dumpty fell on it.
