Air Show

The air show came to St George! Tom went to air shows growing up all the time and he was pretty excited to take Marilyn to see the planes! The left early in the morning with Jake and Ayden and were gone all day long. Jeff and I (and Janelle and Aleah) met them at the park at the very end. Marilyn still talks about the HUGE planes that they got to go inside them. It was a PERFECT Daddy Daughter date for them! Here are some pictures of the event!

Ayden and Marilyn are buddies...

I LOVE THIS PICTURE!

Quite literally, this might be my favorite picture of all time! How can you fall asleep while jets are screaming past you and while you are on your Dad's shoulders...? She found a way!

I love these two...

March Phone Pictures

Believe it or not, there are other things in March other than celebrating me...

Here are a few of them!

This little darling is around all the time...SO happy about that!

Marilyn is a little Mommy to all her dolls, she feeds them, plays with them, puts them down for naps and starts all over again!

I made Marilyn's Easter dress...pretty awesome right?!

Marilyn and her "bug" decided to both kiss the wall...sorta weird

Marilyn picks out her own clothes every day, these shoes are her "married shoes". (I assume because they are white, because I am pretty sure that, and the temple, are the only thing she knows about getting married)

Mar moved into a big girl car seat, and loves it alot!

Jeff did this...I almost died,  he hasn't done it since but has also had 4 ear infections so he hasn't had too much play time...I am sure he will make it all the way over any time...why must he grow so FAST!!

More Birthday

I forgot a few pics from CA!

We are driving to CA!!

who doesn't love a seriously GREAT round of ring around the rosies with their favorite cousin??

This was Marilyns church outfit...she picked it, sunglasses and all!

JJAA made this AMAZING cake for me...wow, they are awesome!

Ok, promise, my birthday is over!

Swig

I found a new obsession...Sugar Cookies from a darling little hole in the wall called Swig. When you come visit me, we will take you there and you can know the AMAZING-ness we call Swig. 

My Birthday

Well, as we all know well know, my birthday is AMAZING.  And this year was no different.  We went to California for the weekend and PARTIED with the family! Em and Ald and Cam and Pete came from Texas for spring break and we caught them while they were there, it was also Man Jeff's spring break and he was there too.  So it was a gathering, so obviously it was super perfect and fun!

Here is the amazing stuff we did!

We visited Mar Mar the Great (this is the amazing woman we named Marilyn after)

Jeff and Peter met for the first time, and got into all kinds of trouble...since neither of them could move we were able to keep the mayhem to a minimum. 

We had some pretty serious Grammie time...

Went to Emerald Bay, the baby boys were in their thrones...pretty rad way to spend time at the beach if you ask me!

Marilyn remembered that sand is awesome and waisted no playing time...it was serious business!

We look at the tide pools and found lots of cool animals, Marilyn thought they were "yuck-a" but we tried to tell her that not everyone can be as beautiful as she is...maybe a lesson for later in life?

Marilyn sported her teeny tiny Grammie's house only bikini (remember it from Hawaii??)

Jeff celebrated having Emily as his aunt...she really is the best!

Jeff met Mar Mar the Great for the first time, he is pretty chill still so Mar Mar got to hold him and they bonded...Such a sweet picture!

It might have been a little overwhelming because we brought EVERYONE to visit at the same time...but it was a special time and we couldn't miss it!

We went to Build-a-Bear and it was pretty amazing! Marilyn LOVED picking her bear and then putting the heart in...she gave it extra kisses before she put in inside.  It was pretty cool, the lady was GREAT and got the kids super excited about every step of their build-a-bear experience. 

If you know Marilyn at all, you know this is the shelf she picked her bear's clothes from.  All princess all the time! She picked Sleeping Beauty dress with glass slippers!

First the girls had to give their bears an air bath, and wash wash wash really good!

She couldn't get over the fact that her bear came with a house! So So So fun!

She is in love!!!

The girls played so well together and loved matching and playing Grammie's iPad! It was a SUPER trip and we are grateful that my parents let us all cram in the house and deal with the craziness that is our new family life! We LOVE my birthday and we LOVE California!
