updates

We have had so much going on and I've been so busy with jewelry and everything that I never get around to blogging much anymore. I promise, Mom, that I will post some pictures soon of us! I am such a slacker. We went to St. George a couple of weeks ago and it was so nice to be there surrounded by palm trees. I love them! Thanks so much mom for the Easter surprises for the kids. They loved them, especially the felted bunnies that grandma made for them. We went to baby animal days with Jon & Mandi, Tony & Mary, and Aaron. It was really fun, and we went to Juniper takeout after, which I love. Aaron is leaving on his mission in a week, and I'm really happy for him, but I'll for sure miss him. He's one of my best buddies to hang out with. I know he will do awesome in Philly, though. And 2 years really does go pretty fast (at least for me it did with all my brothers). Rick got married about 3 weeks ago to Sharilee, who is so nice and I am so glad for them that they found eachother. I am so excited because the store Leyda's in the mall that carries my jewelry is probably going to exclusively sell my stuff. It will be awesome if that happens, but we'll see! By the way, if you haven't been in there, you should go. It is the cutest store and they have lots of designer clothes, including jeans, which I need to go buy for myself sometime soon. Pearce has been in soccer and has had 1 game, which was awful because it was rainy and I don't have an umbrella, so it was pretty much torture the entire time. He does a really good job, though, so I'm hoping for better weather soon so I can enjoy the games! He was so funny. There was a little break where all the boys were just resting and trying to warm up, and here's Pearce, doing push-ups on the wet grass! I was really shocked actually, because he usually is kind of a baby when he is cold. Lillee is in dance at La Shars and she is really good actually. I'm excited to see how she does as she gets older. Erick is doing good in school and is almost finished with his last class ever! Yay! He should be done with his thesis in July and then we get to move on with life! Erick and I are going to San Francisco in May and I'm so excited. He has a conference at a really awesome Hotel and we are staying there. It will be great! I am a little sad about leaving the kids, though. I've never lefte Jack overnight before, so hopefully it will be okay! He is the best little boy ever. He is really funny, too. He says all kinds of cute things all the time. Life is good, and hopefully I will keep up with the blogging a little bit better now! Now I guess I have to go back to my jewelry making!
