Memories in French: Utah, Belly's 5th b-day, Easter

So, Rob had a business trip scheduled to visit Utah about two weeks ago. He asked me about 2 days before he was going to leave if I wanted to make it a family trip. HECK YEAH!

Because we were able to come down, I got to go to my sister Katie's baby shower, my brother-in-law's baby blessing, have Isabelle's birthday with her cousins, and have Easter with my family. I don't think you can get a family trip better than that!

We had some crazy weather. I ended up snowing a few times while we were there. The kids just loved it. :)

I was an idiot and forgot to bring my camera to Katie's shower. But, Mindi threw it, Emily was there. Mindi did a great job and it was so fun to hang out with my sister and be there for her!

Here is a pic of Rob's brother, Mike's, baby. His name is Davis. He was born within two weeks of Talia. Pretty much twinner babies. So, here are the twinner babies.

Michelle made his little blessing outfit too. Isn't she awesome! I think it turned out great. :)

Grandma Nan, Rob's grandma, has now moved in with his parents. I got to share Talia with her.

We got to have Isabelle's 5th birthday in Utah. My best friend, Wendy, did a little celebration for her. Isn't she the best!

We had Isabelle's official party at my mom's. We had a fairy party for Belly. My mom was so sweet helping to make head wreaths for all the girls that came. I thought it was pretty cool that on my 5th birthday, it was at my grandma's, a bunch of family came, and I got a Strawberry Shortcake doll. Isabelle's 5th was at her grandma's, a bunch of girl cousin's came, and she got Strawberry Shortcake doll too!

This is cousin Libby, Fairy Bell, friend Lindsay.

We played a game where the kids had to dance with cups on their heads and try not to let the cup fall.

Her cousins Abby and Maya had these matching dresses on for the party. They gave Belly the same dress and flower for her hair too!

What Isabelle wanted most for her birthday was an umbrella. She asked for one over and over, and that is what Grandma Webster decided to get her without even knowing (at first)!

I thought she looked just like a fairy princess.

We went to the Mayan that night for dinner.

This is me and my best friend Wendy.

Me and my best friend, oh and hubby too, Rob.

The boys, especially Austin, were intrigued by the waterfall and divers. Isabelle didn't care! So funny.

Nan and I took the kids to the Bean museum at BYU. I can't believe I had never gone to this free treasure! Too bad the kids were super fussy and made me wonder why were doing all of this fun stuff if they weren't even having fun!

This picture of butterflies is made of all real butterflies!

We visited Rob's sister Monique and her family. Their kids were so sweet to ours. Here Sam is entertaining Austin.

Belly got into the dress ups there. Emily wrote her the sweetest note.

Austin and Naomi.

Isabelle's twinner cousin Abby had a birthday party Belly got to attend.

Here are the girls in their matching dresses. Thanks Michelle, Abby and Maya!

Monique put on an Easter egg hunt for the kids.

Easter morning...

We got to visit with Rachel and Jake too.

Easter at Grandma Websters was fun. The kids looked for baskets. It had to be inside since it snowed that morning!

Isabelle got a jump rope in her basket and she was so excited. "Watch out, I'm gonna jump!" she said.

After finding their baskets, they did an Easter egg hunt.

Austy and Heather.

Homeschooling lately has been going so much better! I got new math and writing curriculum's that allow me to include everyone better. Here we are doing some science learning about some underwater creatures. The kids loved it!
