Easter

Every year drews moms family spends easter weekend in st geroge. it was a tradition for drew growing, up and has become a tradition for our little family. this year was no different, and we had a great time.

of course there was an easter egg hunt

i wasn't sure niya would get it but she picked it up right away


it was so fun to see her get all excited as she spotted another egg to put in her basket



the egg hunt rapidly came to a halt when she figured out there was candy inside


she couldn't believe her luck


of course she turned into a candy mess.
she is SUCH a sugar monger 



niya also discovered how much she loves the pool


it was so fun, that she threw a fit when we took her out


it wouldn't be easter without decorating eggs. 
niya decorated her very first egg


she had to get a little help from drew though because she started to try to get wild with the dye


my mom sent an easter package for niya



she was so excited to open it


it was the cutest little owl and fluffy chick wearing high heels. niya kept saying "shoe, shoe, shoe"

this was the only "easter family pic" i got. drew and i had already changed out of our pretty easter dresses. i was a little bummed about that, but niya fell asleep on the way home from brunch and we didn't want to spend all day in our sunday best. 
so oh well

Happy Easter!






Air Supply

before i can post about Europe, i need to catch up on what we've been doing lately. Things have been wild this month. We've been traveling a lot. We went to st george for easter weekend. Then straight to florida and new york. We came home for two weeks then left for europe. I haven't had time to catch up with my blog so im a bit behind
so......
in st george the whole fam went to the Air Supply concert. To say i enjoyed myself would be a gross understatement. It was pretty much amazing. I LOVED air supply in highschool. I may have even spent some nights alone, in my room, in the dark learning every word to their greatest hits album.
the concert was at taucahn. id never been there before. it's a really pretty venue

they were promoting their upcoming performance of the little mermaid
who can resist sticking their faces in these things?

and greece 

can you tell how excited i was, and how much drew was making fun of me

i even heard lisa singing along

grandma patsy even came

lovely
