Jazz/Easter/Shower/Flowrider

Brad and I won tickets during our Vivint Christmas party. Our friends, Nick and Mikell won some as well, but unfortunately our seats were not by each other. We went down before the game and went to the new City Creek Mall. I finally used my Nordstrum gift card that I had gotten at a Vivint party over a year ago. We were on the 6th row at the Jazz game so it was pretty cool to be down so close.
I colored Easter Eggs with the cute family that I nanny. It had been a while since I had done it! And, I finally got a picture of one of the twins smiling.. now I just gotta get them together! 
This year for Easter, we were kind of lame and went shopping together. It was nice though, cause we got exactly what we wanted (which was just some treats that we don't normally buy, and a church outfit for me and some shorts, shampoo, and gel for Brad). 
One day, we decided to go pick up a pizza and take it up Green Canyon to eat it. We walked around a little bit as well. It was fun for something different! 
My friend, Kelsey, and I planned a ward baby shower for our friend, Lindsey Coy. We had it at my parents house and it worked out perfect. We were busy the night before making cookies, deviled eggs, and chicken salad sandwiches. We ate, then opened presents and played a few games. We had a good turn out and she got some good stuff.  I made her a cute little baby stuffed with diapers. (the football one) I'm so excited for her little guy to come! Too bad I'll be in Texas when that happens. 



After the shower, we went with my family to the Flowrider. We love that place and I'm hoping we can make it a tradition every spring.

Spring Break and more

Brad spent his spring break in Austin, Texas selling. He had fun sneaking into the Texas Longhorn stadium and getting to know the area we'll be in this summer.  

What did I do while he was gone all week long? Just a few little crafts that I had been wanting to do, most of which were found from pinterest. I got the cute holiday banner idea from my mom and sister. I'm excited to hang them up, once I finish them up. 

We only got to go skiing once this season. Luckily, we didn't buy season passes this year, but it was a good year not to, with such little snow! Brad did go snowmobiling about 7-8 times. One time when he went, he found some deer antlers buried in the snow. They ended up being pretty big, and he was excited. They are currently sitting in the back of his truck since I won't allow them in our house. 

Brad's sister was four months pregnant when she lost her sweet baby boy, Elijah. We went down to provo on Saturday for his memorial service. Brad's dad made his beautiful casket. We're so sorry for their loss, and he will be greatly missed.  

Today, I had the crazy idea to ride our bikes up to Aggie Ice Cream. My family and I used to do it all the time, and I didn't really think about how big of a hill we had to ride up. We made it though, and the ride home sure was nice! (sorry for the low-quality picture.. it's from Brad's phone)
