Maggie turns 7!!!!!!!

Maggie celebrated her 7th birthday recently and we had a grand time!

Enjoy...

60's style and Bat Boy...

Laura and I were invited to a 60's themed party to celebrate the 40th birthday of a friend of ours. Since neither of us had a lot of 60's style clothing laying around we needed to come up with a couple of costumes.

We began at Costume and Display and were fortunate enough to find a couple of wigs and sunglasses but Max purchased the best item of the day....a Bat Man mask! He wore it proudly for the remainder of the day including our trip to Target! It was priceless to see him running around Target chasing Lilly. We managed to take one picture of him watching T.V. with his mask on without him knowing! :)

Laura's parents were able to provide our costumes...I wore a shirt of Bob's and Laura used a costume that Chrissy had bought years ago from D.I.

We had a blast and Grandma and Grandpa looked amazing too!

More Spring Break pictures...

Spring Break in Utah

We decided to drive to Utah for Spring Break this year. Laura and I love to go back to Utah as we have many fond memories of our time there together but we realized that we have never taken the family there so off we went. As we discussed all of the things we wanted to do on this trip, we quickly realized that the majority of them revolved around eating! Here's a breakdown of our caloric intake...

1) Stan's Drive-In (Twice)

2) Training Table

3) Wingers (Twice...in the same day!)

4) Cafe Rio

5) BYU Creamery (Twice)

6) Nielsen's Frozen Custard (You guessed it...twice!)

We also really enjoyed showing the kids around Temple Square, the Church Museum, attending the Joseph Smith movie and the Saturday morning session of General Conference for Sydney, Halle and Dad!

Thanks to Kelly & Dave for allowing the 9 of us to crash your pad...thanks for giving us your bed, your food, your air mattresses and your tent! We love you guys!

Happy Easter!

We managed to take a few pictures this morning before church...some of them definitely turned out better than others!

Hope you've had a nice Easter Sunday...

Baby Soapy...

Even though she's only a month old...Sophie already has a nickname! Laura took these pictures of baby "Soapy" last week...it's amazing how quickly they grow! :>)

"Helping" in the kitchen

Laura was baking yesterday and she had two little helpers...they're usually pretty good about following the instructions but when Laura wasn't looking, Max decided to turn the mixer on to see what would happen to the flour!

Needless to say, we had a bit of a mess on our hands. :>)
