Nidia our good friend/sister turned 25 last friday and to celebrate we went to our favorite restaurant for lunch. It was a lot of fun hanging out with the girls (my mom included) I really missed it. Chloee is almost a year old (gosh, time flew!) and we hadn't really hung out much and even though it wasn't as long as I had expected because we brought the kids and I had to go pick up Josh from school, it was very nice to get out and enjoy of their company.
ha ha! Ryder cracks me up!!
I really wanted to take pictures of the kids in Sunday clothes but it didn't happen... After church that afternoon we went over to my parents, The Ostlers were there too. I took some pictures of the kids (baby Sebas included) but Oh man, I had forgotten how hard it is to get them to smile, look at the camera all at once! and of course, pictures didn't turn out as expected...
Katie's hair is acting up!
and it takes Ryder .2 seconds to look away from the camera!
Like I said, and Katie's eyes of course are closed...
you can also see the frustration in Josh's face with Logan crying..
FAKE SMILES!!
The last 2 weeks have been kinda crazy weather wise, all week has been cold and raining/snowing, but we've had just ONE warm/sunny day in each week so we have to take advantage and go out. it's been so much fun. We've been going to this new park in Orem called Nielsen's grove, its so nice and clean we love it! last week we were there and the kids went looking for duck eggs, and played soccer. it was so great! Yesterday we had another sunny day and off to the park we went again. Josh brought a pail and his net this time because we saw a bunch of little fish last week we were there and yes he caught one, they had a blast!

Yes people its official, we will be moving to Boston for the Summer. Hyrum will be working for Pinnacle securities. We are very excited and I am at the same time very nervous because I've never lived anywhere outside of Utah since I moved here 15 yrs ago so yes I guess I am a "Utah girl" We've told the kids and their first reaction (especially Josh) was "What, I am going to change schools? No!) but we explained to them that we would be back before school started but he would miss the last 3 or 4 games of his baseball season :( he was sad but didn't seem to mind very much. Hyrum will leave the end of April and I will follow with the kids beginning of June. (I'm not looking forward to flying with 3 kids though) but I keep telling my self it will be okay and I seem to calm down and then I panic again a few hrs later. I think it will be a great experience for all of us. I'm looking forward to taking the kids to a lot of places and see new things and different people.
I have been Spring cleaning for about a month now and I am still not done yet.. how frustrating. but in my search for things to sell, donate and such, I found a small box and opened it up to find my wedding cake topper, I was very excited to have found it so I wanted to display it somewhere in the house, so out I went to the craft store and found a shadow box, I didn't even know those existed (yeah, that's how crafty I am...) but I thougt the cake topper would look good, so this is what the finished product looked like:
I'd been promising the kids we would do some crafts and just didn't get around to it, so a few days back we were bored and I told them we would do something with those plastic easter eggs to decorate the house. Josh did great, so I ended up asking him to finish up the rest of the eggs.. :D this is what we came up with :
