Sometimes I need a little pick me up...

Anyone who knows me well, knows that I love Ellen. She is absolutely HILARIOUS!! So sometimes I do need a little pick me up, who doesn't these days? When I do, I turn on Ellen and I seriously don't stop laughing for the next hour, and sometimes longer. Here's what I'm rolling on the floor about today (and for the past few weeks)...

Happy 3rd Birthday to MY Princess Kennedi!!

On Saturday we celebrated Kennedi's 3rd birthday with a princess party and had 6 of her very best friends celebrate with her. The party turned out great, the kids had a lot of fun and I have to say that I did as well.



Thanks to everyone who helped make Kennedi's 3rd birthday a memorable one, one I'm sure she'll always remember.

All the princesses getting ready to eat their yummy pizza!

Princess Kennedi and her mother (that would make me a Queen, :) right?)

Attempting to decorate the princess dresses...

...the Princess dresses were too much to handle for the little princesses, so while the adults worked on them the princesses decided to do ring around the rosies.

The pinata was a real hit (or should I say pull?)

Kennedi waited patiently ALL day to open her presents...

"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Princess Kennedi, Happy Birthday to you!"

Kennedi LOVES her new trampoline she got from my family...she hasn't missed a day jumping on it yet!

Beware...Extra Long Post

First all...Happy Easter! I love any and every excuse there is to get together with family. Yes, I LOVE spending time with my family. Here are some pictures from our great Easter and some of the Easter festivities from the days before....

The Easter Bunny found us at the Jensen home!

Coloring Easter Eggs

Kennedi, Brayden and I really had a great time coloring Easter eggs!
And I think Kennedi did a great job decorating them.

We wore poor Brayden right out!
Coloring Easter eggs is hard work!

Easter Egg Hunt in Grandma & Grandpa's Backyard

Brayden...he's always happy!

It was so beautiful outside, I just wanted to stay out there all day.

Let's go fly a kite!

This is Kennedi flying the kite...

...and this is the kite flying

Kennedi took a break to jump on the trampoline,
she LOVES the tramp!


Or, why not hula hoop?

Or take a tractor ride with Grandpa and Ethan?

City Easter Egg Hunt

I tried explaining to Kennedi that once they told her she could go, that she was supposed to run out and get two Easter Eggs (even though they were bags of candy and not eggs) and then to come back to me and Brayden. Well after patiently waiting they finally said it was time to go. But of course, guess what she did? She stood there screaming and crying wanting me to come and help her. But I had Brayden in the stroller, so after waiting for the area to clear out I "happily" walked out there with her and helped her pick up her bags.

I'm sure Brayden would have been happy to help if he could have.

Twilight Party

Oh Edward...

I was nominated to have a Twilight Party at my house. So of course I said, party? Come on over! I've never even read the book nor seen the movie before the party.
We had a GREAT time, we should do it again girls!

Temple Square and Park City Olympic Park

A few weeks ago we had a family friend of ours from Denmark, Christian, come and visit. He is attending school in Seattle and was on his spring break so we took him to the Olympic Park in Park City and Temple Square. It was a long day, but we really had so much fun and the weather was great!

Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) we didn't ride the bobsled...


...but we did ride down this crazy thing...the zip line!

Whew! Boy, it was sure fun!

Aunt Cindy's Visit


A few weeks ago my sister Cindy came to visit from Pennsylvania and surprised the whole family! We had it planned for quite a while, so it was fun to keep the secret and see everyone's reaction when they first saw her. We had a really fun time together...boy do I miss my sister Cindy!!!

Aunt Mandy, Aunt Cindy and Brayden

At dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, Cafe Sabor!

I'm not sure if this is the best picture to end my post with, but here it is anyway.

...Don't ask!!
