Hilary's Got Mail!

We woke up this morning and found a mailbox in our trees....
The mail was obviously for Hilary and most importantly included an 
invitation to PROM!

These boys were creative and apparently installing the mailbox in our trees around 1:30am!
Hilary is so excited!!

"Post it" Prom Invitation

Who knew that Post-Its could make a girl so excited!
Hannah was asked to Prom and she couldn't be happier about it.


 She walked outside to her car after school and found this...

A Business Trip

I used to really, really DISLIKE Las Vegas. I have a few horrible, indelible memories that involve this destination and let's just say that in years past I had no.desire.whatsover. to ever go back.

Well, with Dan's travel taking him to Las Vegas occasionally and its close proximity to home,
coupled with some amazing shopping to be had there, I've grown to like Las Vegas.

Last week, I took my very first "business trip" and attended an excellent educational conference with some fun ladies. I learned a lot and even better I came away inspired and motivated and feeling so fortunate that I get to do something I love in my free time.

However, the absolute BEST part of this trip was that my better half Dan coordinated his own business trip around my conference. We choose to drive so we could talk, relax, and enjoy the alone time.
In the evenings we ate out and shopped. And while we had a wonderful time, the kiddos were AWESOME and took care of each other on the home front.

I definitely have hit the jackpot!

The Duck Pond


One is never too old to visit the Duck Pond (as we like to call it) on BYU Campus
and feed the ducks.

Hannah and Julia did just this after school not long ago because weather almost demanded it.
Beautiful, breezy spring weather has permeated the air as of late.




In other news...Dan and I will be taking Emily across "the pond" soon for 
her Art History Study Abroad. We love London and that is where Emily will begin
her European adventure across that continent!
