Caty-Lynne's Dance Recital!

Caty-Lynne had her dance recital today and she did great. It was so much fun to watch her up there dancing. Her first dance was tap (the red outfit), she danced to Sweet Home Alabama. Her second dance was to a song called Hollywood. This was her jazz dance and she wore the pink outfit. Her last dance was ballet (blue outfit) and they dance to America The Beautiful. The theme of her recital was road trip across america, so each song was about a state. My favorite dance was her Hollywood dance. She looked like she was having so much fun up there and she was gettin down. We all enjoyed the show and are looking forward to Lizzy's in 2 weeks.

Easter 2011

This Easter Brian did not have to work and that is the first in a long time. We had a great day. After church Brian, Bri and Lizzy went on a bike ride from our house to my parents and once Carleigh woke up we met up with them there. The kids enjoyed a egg hunt and we had a wonderful meal. This easter egg hunt was fun for Carleigh. This year she got that they were filled with candy and money so she had a blast running around searching for eggs. At the end the kids were all getting her to trade the eggs with money for candy. She was willing because candy is much better then money for her.

Caty-lynne has been wanting me to curl her hair but I did not have a curling iron. Well I finally got one and we did her hair last sunday before church. She looked so beautiful.

Well not much is going on around here. We have a few more weeks of school left before summer. The girls have their dance recitals in about a week so that should be fun. Both the girls have decided that they do not want to take dance anymore. I am hoping lizzy changes her mind because I think she is just doing what her big sister is doing. She is really good and she can really move! I guess we will see. Brian has a crazy work schedule this month. There were a lot of people who needed shifts covered and he took them all. He is working almost everyday. I hope he is never this nice again. This is just crazy and no one needs to work this much. Well the month is half way over so not much longer until it is over. In July we are going to the beach for a week and I just got tickets to go to Utah in August so this will be a fun summer. Looking forward for it to begin.

San Diego Part 2

So today was our last day here in San Diego. I did a little shopping while Brian was in conference and when he got done we went to Old Towne and toured the Mormon Battalion. We had fun and did a little shopping there as well. We then ate the best mexican food we both have ever had. While we were there we got a call from our vet. saying someone had found Abby running down a busy street and she stop to pick her up. We left her with a girl that does dog sitting, so we called her but no answer. We called the lady that found abby and she said she watched her almost get hit by 3 cars before she was able to get her. She also said she was very hungry and thirsty. Who knows how long she was out by herself. My mom and sister went and got her for us at the lady's house and she will stay with my parents until we get home. I am just glad someone stop to help her and called our vet. from her tag she was wearing. So tomorrow morning we leave to go home and I think we are both ready to get home and see the kiddos. We have had a great trip but we are missing our sweet kids. I'm sure once we get home and they start arguing we will wonder why we were missing them!

San Diego

Brian and I are in San Diego and having a great time. Our first day here we went to the San Diego Zoo. It is amazing how different it is to go to the zoo without kids. I think it was the first time I really enjoyed the Zoo. We then came and checked in our hotel The Del Coronado Hotel. This hotel is amazing, right on the beach. We then walked around the city of Coronado. Brian is here for a Pediatric Emergency Medicine Conference. So while he has been in the conference I have been going to the gym and laying out by the pool. We have really enjoyed our trip so far. Tonight we were able to go out with John, Sandy, Jake and Josh for Josh's birthday. It was good to see them and I can not believe how old the boys were. I still remember them as little boys not teenagers. On the way to meet up with John and Sandy we stopped at the temple to get some pictures. What a beautiful temple, I think it is probably my favorite temple. Tomorrow we are going to go to Old town and enjoying our last day here.

Bri's in the double digits now!!

Well Brian Jr. turned 10 a couple of weeks ago. It is hard to believe he is only 6 years away from driving and 9 from going on a mission. Time goes by so quickly, that is starting to scare me a little. On his birthday he wanted to eat at the Golden Corral. He had just gone on his 4th grade field trip to the coast and one night they ate there so he decided that it was so good he wanted to take us all. The kids really enjoyed it and it was a great time. This weekend he is going to have a party at the house with some of his friends. This should be fun 8 10yrs olds running around the house.

In the last picture of Lizzy and I, we are doing zumba! I got a dvd from the guy who teaches it at my gym and lizzy loves it. She wants to do it every day but I have to do it with her because it is no fun by yourself. At least that is what Lizzy thinks. Brian took pictures of us the other day while we were doing it. She is always asking me why the guy on the dvd is always smiling. I always say he is just happy. They other day she ask again and I said the same thing and here response was "I bet he doesn't yell at his kids because he is always happy" Well lizzy he does not have any kids! I didn't know rather to laugh or cry. It was funny but does that me she thinks I am not happy because I do yell at mine. So I ask and her response was yes, you don't look happy when you yell at us. So that is what I am trying to work on here is not yelling so much. I told her if my kids would listen one of the first 3 times I ask them to do something I would never have to yell at them but yelling seems to be what gets them listening. So that is what we are working on here, listening better and not yelling. We will see how that goes.
