Dare Devil Ellie

Ellie would rather stand on her little scooter then ride it. She likes to climb up on it and stand up and put her hands up in the air and say 'Ta Da'. I kept trying to catch her with her hands in the air but this is the best that I could do.

Eggs in Ellie's Jammies

The family stopped by Saturday night to see the basement since Joni and Jeanette had not seen it yet. It was so nice to have an open space to enjoy each other. I am not sure who started putting plastic eggs down Ellie's shirt (I think Matt) but Ellie ended up with about 15 plastic eggs in her pajamas and the funny thing is Matt would put an egg in and Ellie would hand him another like she was encouraging him to keep going. She is such a funny kid.

Easter Weekend

The weather was great for Easter weekend considering it snowed before Easter and is currently snowing right now. So we enjoyed our lovely 50-60 degree weather. Kiera and Ellie enjoyed hunting for easter eggs and Kiera is determined that the Easter Bunny is very tall because he hides eggs up high. My sources say that she is right. Thanks to my amazing husband we colored eggs! He is so wonderful and I am so thankful that he inherited his mothers love for holidays. Kiera and him worked very hard on making some very beautiful eggs.





Then the girls enjoyed our Annual Hammond Lane Easter egg hunt. Ellie was a pro at picking up the eggs and enjoyed dragging her basket around and occasionally dumping it. She would not sit still for me to get her picture taken.





Then it was off to Grandma's. Grandpa took the kids on a wagon ride while the eggs were hidden. Kiera was the oldest and we encouraged her to help the little ones (Ellie and Aydon) find eggs as well. You can see why Kiera thinks the Easter Bunny is so tall, he hid one in the pipe of the swing set.

Teammates for four years...friends for life

Tuesday night I got to spend some time with two of my closest friends who happen to be college teammates of mine. You create a special bond with girls who you spent almost 24 hours a day with for four years. We have a lot of memories together and I consider them like sisters. Melissa and Todd were in Salt Lake visiting family so Jeff and I drove down to have dinner with them and of course Heather lives in SLC. We had so much fun together and just enjoyed each others company. I love you guys! Wish we could relive our college volleyball days.

Relay for Life

Yes, believe it or not, AMY CROSBIE stayed up past 10 pm. I get teased a lot because I love to sleep...and I believe that it is perfectly normal that I enjoy sleeping at night so much. Well this event was not conducive to my sleep schedule as it is an all night event. My team was awesome and consisted of colleagues from work. The event was a lot of fun and even the girls got in on the excitement. Ellie actually loved her coconuts and would not let me take them off which surprised me and Kiera loved everything about the event. I had to keep a good eye on her because she was all over the place having a great time. The event raised over $9,000 that will be donated to Cancer Research.

Dinner at the Crosbie's

You really never know what is going to happen next with Kiera. She has been going to swim lesson's for the past couple months and she has a pink pair of goggles. Well this night she decided that it was pertinent to wear her pink goggles at the dinner table. She told us that it helped her see us and her food better. Never a dull moment with her around...and I am thinking Ellie is following right behind her goofy sister.

Cute Ellie

Ellie was not feeling well last week so I had to go and pick her up from daycare. Unfortunately, it was a crazy time at work so I had to bring her to the office. She was such an angel. She snuggled on my lap while I worked and then eventually fell asleep so I laid her on the floor by my desk and she took a long nap. I sure love it when they are healthy and active but I enjoy mothering them when they are sick because they are so snugly.

Still Winter in Cache Valley

I have been meaning to post picture to see how much sympathy I can get from my friends back home in California. But I realized I can get sympathy from people in SLC because they are actually experiencing Spring time. A couple weekends ago we had the most beautiful day! I even got my bike out and went for a ride in just shorts and a jersey. Well then all my hopes of being outside were lost when we got hit with a pretty big storm. As you can see in the picture it obviously was pre-mature to get our patio furniture out of hibernation.
