Easter got a little over shadowed this year by Henry's birthday, but we still made sure to celebrate.

We attempted to do the tie-dye eggs but it ended with Henry mixing all the colors and making a hot mess.

I realized that I didn't get a single picture of us on Henry's birthday!

I had to work on Easter, but made sure that Henry was able to have an egg hunt that morning.

It was pretty fun to watch him run around the house looking for eggs.

I thought these "eggs" were super fun and more interesting to a 3 year old boy.

Henry J is 3!

The morning of Henry's birthday we decided to give him his present! We've had this thing since Christmas and are glad that we waited because now he was able to focus on just this present.

This smile makes it all worth it!

After we got ready for the day we headed to a park for a little party.
Henry was way too concerned about eating the frosting and wanting to rip off the airplane.

Since we live in St. George, the weather was perfect to play at the splash pad.

Unfortunately we had a repeat situation when Henry was opening his presents this year. He seriously turns into mega brat.

Alan had so nicely arranged all of his presents so we could take a picture, but in typical Henry fashion he lost it and knocked over the pile. Real nice.

Then after the party we headed to the hotel my dad was staying at for a little swim!

It was a really nice day, and there's nothing more I would have wanted to be doing. It was fun being able to hang out with all of the family and be in the sunny outside.
I love my Henry J no matter how big of a brat he can be. Here's to another fun year with lots of memories waiting to be made! Momma loves you.

The week before Henry's birthday, we finally scheduled him an appointment with the dentist. I think we were really dreading it because in all honesty.. the way he freaks out when he gets his hair cut led me to believe he would have a full blown anxiety attack with someone in his mouth. We found a children's dentist, and they know what they are doing. They have the lobby colored brightly and with a TON of toys.

Once we got back to see the dentist, they actually had me put Henry on my lap, then lay him down into the dentist's lap. While Henry was less than enthused about someone poking around in there, he did better than I thought.

It looks like blood, but it's just the toothpaste.
Although I think I did see Henry bite the dentist once. I told the dentist that he has by far, the worst job ever.

It was too funny.. as soon as the dentist was done, Henry bolted for the door. He wasn't about to see if there wasn't another part to this visit.

Henry got to pick his very own book and balloon for his prize.

A week before my Mom's birthday all of us were in town to go see the Pink Floyd Experience, so my sisters and I decided to plan a little surprise party. It was a lot of fun because she really had no idea what was going on.

We also surprised her with this necklace that she had been eyeballing for some time now.

When we were up in SLC, Henry found this car at Chanley's house and loved it. Chanley and Ryan were nice enough to strap it to their car and haul it down for him!

My mom was lovin' on my cousin's baby Preslie, and Henry wasn't so sure he wanted to share his Grandma.

Everyone with their sassy pose.

Happy Birthday Mom!

Jason and Abby's Wedding

For some stupid reason, I didn't get a single shot of the bride and groom, or their reception. I'm so mad at myself, but hopefully they will share some of pictures they got done professionally because it was such a beautiful day. The weekend got started with a nice dinner at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building.

Then that night we took the bachelor bowling. It's what Alan did the night before we got married, so we thought we'd keep the tradition alive.

Can you tell what Jason's name is?

On the day of the wedding we all got dressed up and headed to the Temple.

We can't go anywhere without his blankie.
