BRYSON CABO CRUISE....

For Christmas this year the Bryson's decided to give all of us a cruise to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. It was the first cruise Jason and I have been on and we had so much fun hanging out, snorkeling, eating and relaxing with everyone!! I'm ready for another vacation. :) Jason looking so cute waiting for us to figure out our family pics.

Madison's Photo Shoot...

Jenna had to do a photoshoot for her photography class in school so i tagged along to get a few pics of Madi .....she is the perfect model. She knows just how to pose and when to smile.

I Love EaSteR...

Jason and I got to play the Easter Bunny for Leslie & Brooke this year!! It was so much fun trying to hide that many eggs in places that we thought were worth our efforts. We tried to make it as difficult as possible especially since there was money and goodies inside...we made sure they had to work for it. :) I love these girls!! They are just gorgeous!!

Yep you found it in the thorny rose bush...like I said this wasn't your traditional random placing of the eggs..we really thought this through. lol

I wish that is all I had to do to put that darn egg up there!! :) Note to self: Brooke is a bean pole and can reach places I never thought possible without climbing on something.

My Sporty Hubby....

Jason has been a busy boy. We both have been working extra hours but of course he has found time to play on a volleyball team since it is one of his favorite things to do...

His team was made up of some great people and won the whole tournament!!

He looks too cute!!
Focus honey FOCUS!!

I can't believe Jenna is already a Junior!! It's so crazy to watch her hate high school as much as I did. LOL I guess that is why I had so much sympathy for her when I wasn't working and I would take her out even if just for lunch to get away. :) Ok that or I was just bored..

She is one talented Lacrosse player!
Jenna had her last game and being the good big brother and big sister Brandon and I attended to cheer her on and boooo at the refs. Although I got yelled at by the ref for screaming "Let them play!!!" I wouldn't have missed it.

Utah March 2009

On March 1st Jason and I went up to Utah so that we could be there when our nephew Brigham received his baby blessing from his daddy Judd. It was such a sweet blessing and we loved being there for their special moment. Jamie and Judd were the perfect hosts and we had so much fun spending time with them. Brigham is such an adorable lil' boy. Grandpa Rick met Brigham for the first time and on our way to their house that first night he told us all, "I don't think I can wait any longer I have butterflies in my stomach." I thought it was so sweet that he was so anxious to meet his first little grand baby. This pic is so sweet not just because Brigham is wide eyed staring at his grandparents but because Rick and Ev are totally engulfed in this lil' baby boy. It made me think of how lucky I was to be raised with both sets of my grandparents and my great grandma & grandpa Gardner. They taught me so much and I am a better person because they were always there for me. I am so excited for Mom & Dad Bryson to experience this next milestone in their life. And what would Utah be without a stop by Tai Pan with JD!!! We had so much fun wandering around this enormous store for hours. I don't think we bought much but we had fun finding interesting things....like this huge chick! Seriously who buys something like that and what would you do with it? Thanks for keeping me company JD and carting me around everywhere since I was lame-o and didn't have a car. :)
