Chalk Fest

We LOVE the chalk fest on Main Street every year!
This year, we went three times!

Fist, Andrew and I went exploring while Lindsay was at ballet.  Next, we went with our friends the Muirs and did some artwork.  Last, we went with just our family to look at all the awesome artwork!  I am so amazed at the talented artists!  After our walk, Darin took us to Bun Basket for some breakfast!  It was delicious!

Mother's Day!!

This was my most spoiled year of mother's day!
(Minus the fact that Darin made me speak in Sacrament meeting).

I got a delicious breakfast in bed, beautiful flowers, a computer program I've been eyeing for YEARS, and I didn't have to do any cooking or cleaning!




Darin made this delicious Beef Wellington!!  So yummy!


Hope everyone had a fabulous Mother's Day!!  And a big shout out to my sweet mother, mother-in-law, grandmothers, sisters, and sisters in law!

We had such a wonderful time!  
I made this video with a few of the highlights from our trip.

Lantern Fest

This past weekend we went to the Lantern Fest.
We had a great time!  We loved the "pre-entertainment."
The kids loved the bounce houses, hoola hoops, princesses, kites, and more.
We lucked out to be with my uncle, aunt and cousins while we were there!
Love them!

It was a windy, cold night, but the wind calmed down enough right at launch time.
I hope we can go back and do this again in a few years. (And maybe sign up for the summer session).


This bag of popcorn Darin bought was nearly the same size as Andrew!

Matt loved the hoola hoops and actually did a great job!!




Our host was Adam Johnson, (aka Mark from the movie Charlie).
He and Lindsay quickly became great friends! :)





Matt was SUCH a GREAT brother helping Andrew through the bounce house!










Uncle Richard is the KING of BEST facial expressions!! 














Chanice has been giving me "modern calligraphy" lessons.
This was my sad attempt to be like her.
(I keep joking that I'm going to open up a lettering shop for blind people).









Wonderful, magical night!!
