I sure hope they will!! April has been crazy thus far! With snow on April 1st and more snow on its way, I am starting to thing maybe spring/summer got skipped this year???
This year is FLYING by! It's crazy its April already! So far its been an ok month. :)
I played a great trick on Ty for April Fools Day...
I really wanted to get him good. So I had Jessica take some pregnancy tests for me. They showed up pretty well!!! (She is a few months along!) So I waited till we were getting ready for bed that night. Our friend Jennie from England is staying with us, so she headed to bed and we were watching the news. I leaned to Ty and said "Honey I have been feeling kinda weird lately, and I am really nervous that I might be prego, so I stopped and bought a prego test" Ty just kinda looked at me... (We've ALL had a "scare" so he was thinking it would just be that) so I told him I was going to take one before bed. So I got up a min later and went into the bathroom, I brushed my teeth and all, while he thinks I am in there peeing on the stick! lol So I open the door, and called for him to come in. I had it sitting on the floor, and I was being real quiet.... Ty took a min to come. (I KNEW HE WAS CONTEMPLATING WHAT IFFFFF?????) So he comes in and smiles and me and says "Your pregnant" and just kinda laughed. I chuckled and said "well look, you tell me" he looked down and glanced up and looked back down. lol I was dying inside! The look on his face was pure fear. lol So he picked it up, to make sure it was suppose to be a "positive" lol. So he was really quiet and just brushed his teeth, took out his contact and went and climbed into bed. I finally asked him what he was thinking about, and he started. lol "Well I guess I need to quit school and work full time somewhere, we'll need to start saving every penny".... and so on. So we talked about it for a few min. Then I couldnt take it anymore! I snuggled up close to him and told him I had something to tell him, and just quietly said "April Fools" and he gasped! Saying "but it said positive" and barley got out the words "Jessica, Jess peed on it!!" haha it was PRICELESS! I was laughing so hard and he was frantic. He started feeling around for his phone, and finally found it. He didnt have his contacts in, so he had it really close to his face and I noticed through my laughter. I tried to stop him from calling but he insisted he called Jess to make sure that it was an April Fools Joke! lol AT 11:30PM!!! It was hilarious. I love Ty. We have a lot of fun!
Our Easter was good! We enjoyed the weekend. Ty had to work Saturday morning, so I ran errands and all. The truck was having some issues, so $500 later, our truck has breaks, a new belts AND an oil change! lol Gotta love those things! We decorated boiled eggs with my family.
We learned a cool science project as well as what NOT to do. I didn't know that you were suppose to only add 1 TLBS of vinegar for 1/2 cup of water.... well I added about 3/4 cup of vinegar and food coloring! So it was doing some interesting things to those eggs! They were sizzling in the vinegar! haha. we eventually got it situated and were able to dye eggs for real!
We Celebrated Mom's birthday Sunday too! She's getting younger every day! :)
We loved spending time with family! I have grown to appreciate my relationships with my siblings/mother/grandparents and extended family. Even those who I thought I would never have a "friendship" with, I have developed them! I love my family! One my side we have 13 nieces and nephews! It's a lot of fun, and I love being and Aunt! They all are so fun, each one has such a unique personality!
I hope you all had a great Eater Weekend! I am so greateful for the holiday to reflect on what Christ did for us! We were with Jill and Josh Sunday morning and they were teaching Isacc about Easter and the true meaning, so he kept saying "Jesus Lives" . I am so greateful for that!

Grocery Smarts!
I think this website is worth looking at no matter who you are!
Most of you know I shop using coupons alot.... I was recently introduced to this system.
What I like is that even if you dont use coupons, this site is TOTALLY worth using!
They rate the sales going on in the area (STATE WIDE) and tell you if its a good deal or not!
ALSO you can print either the WHOLE list or just the items you need from that store.
There is also a spot you can type items you need that arent on on the sale list. I think its well
worth take a few min each week to look at before you go shopping. You can also find information on there, on how to organize your coupons so that you can easily find them without having to spend HOURS clipping them each week! The website is www.grocersmart.com you can look up by sate in the upper left hand corner. BUT I suggest using the "passport" which is middle of the page on the right. Enter in g84cag .
I love this system/website. I save alot of money on our groceries. We dont have a lot to spend in the first place so its very helpful! They can contact information on there for if you have any questions or whatnot. Take me word, its awesome!
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!!

HAPPY ST. PATRICKS DAY!
Hope your wearing GREEN!!! :)
Saturday was a good day! It wasnt exactly "nice weather" . SO I had no excuse NOT to start my spring fling! I got ALOT done! I have realized my obsession for organization... good AND bad!
I love to have things organized and clean. *Doenst ALWAYS happen RIGHT away. BUT....
I realized with my obsession or organizing things, I have acquired junk. I have little boxes & bags to use to organize items IN... and boxes and.....bins and.....just random stuff. I feel good cause I got rid of some of it! AND I went through "bins" and got rid of junk inside them! I am almost done with our second bedroom... that will look like a bedroom again!!! :) So then on to the Pantry, closets, cleaning closet/towel closet....kitchen & living room desk! :)
I love feeling organized and put together.
We have been hanging out with family alot lately. It's been fun. Our prayers are with Kenyon and Jeannette, they found out this past Monday that they lost their baby. But we know they will have a chance again to be parents! Soon they will have little rug rats running around and they wont know what to do! But we love them and are praying for them!
Easter is coming up!!
I LOVE Easter! Not for the candy baskets tho, for the times we have as a family. We have a big Egg Hunt at the Grandma's. My parents, parents live next door to each other and share an open pasture and front yards. So we hide candy & eggs around the front yard for the little kids and the pasture for the older kids. It's fun, I remember being the one out there looking and looking for all the eggs, and there is alot of places they could be! We also get together before that just with my siblings & their spouses/kids and dye eggs. It's a lot of fun!
I love love love it. :D
Were excited cause we get some time off coming up! April 9th-13th. Were going to head up to Idaho to visit Ty's family! Were going to spend time with them and go up to Yellow Stone! -I have never ever been there! SO I am excited.
We have a friend coming to stay with us from March 27th- April 27th. She's here visiting from England. She's a fun/sweet girl! Her family was in Kenyon's mission. Her Dad is a Bishop over there. We spend time with their family when I went to Visit England with my Mom, Sister & Kenyon. So she will be hanging out with us! I hope she doesnt think were boring married people. lol.
So who is loving the time change? .... I am in a way. I have more energy at night... I am AWAKE till like 11pm... but then the mornings arent so easy. lol I was getting use to being up at 6 and getting stuff done before work. But now I hardly can wake up at 7! So I am getting use to it slowly....
I hope everyone else is having a good week! Soaking up the Sun Rays!!

Not exactly as planned...
Well I certainly didn't get all that I wanted to done! Not even a start....
BUT... it was all good! I spent my weekend instead hanging out with my nephew
Ike, we played cars, went shopping and decorated his "snake cake" for our family
birthday party Sunday. I'll post some pictures soon. I will be working on the
"Spring, clean, fling" throughout the week and weekend. :) I hope everyone else is
enjoying the warm weather! I'm ok even if its raining, cause it means SPRING! :)

Spring is around the corner!
So its almost the weekend again! Yay!
I live for the weekends.... :)
I got this off my friend Jenn's blog.... and my house could use it!
The Spring Fling Challenge is to "fling" 100 things by the first day of Spring, March 21st. And by"fling" they mean that you will get rid of in any way - paperbackswap, ebay, craigslist, Salvation Army, trash, recyling - just something that gets it out of your apartment and out of your car. It has to be GONE not just out of the apartment and waiting to be taken away. Then as a Bonus Challenge, try not to replace the things that you've flung.
The idea is to clean out all the scary places where you cram the junk that life brings your way....
SO for me this is my goal this weekend! I am going to de-junk!!! I kinda already started this last week. I hate clutter, it eats at me and makes me unhappy. So my "kick" on this will include the following.... and I will report on Monday with my progress! (Help keep me acocuntable!)
Clean out the fridge! - we ALL have something old, or gross in there. GET RID OF IT! :)
Clean out the second bedroom.... THIS IS THE MAIN GOAL....
This will consit of: Going through all the bins, and re-organizing then with only the items we NEED. We have a lot of bins...and stuff "stored". Go through my "clothes bin" and get rid of old clothes that arent fitting right now. Go through our "wedding gifts" bins and choose a few things to "re-gift" to a few people who are getting married. Get rid of some of the clutter I've been hauling around state to state since I was little. I have a lot of random little things I've saved... and I dont need them....
So I will report on Monday! Hope you all have a great weekend!!

Feelin Lucky
March already! I cant believe how fast time is going by!
March means its almost spring! YAY!
Ty and I are getting all geared up for spring / Summer! I can't wait!
We've just been hanging out like normal. Not too much excitment.
Ty is almost done with this semester (In April) and then he will start his spring
semester that ends in July. Then he will be graduating with his Associates! :)
That will be a happy day! He's been working night shifts lots lately. So I'm
trying to get use to that. lol That shift is 10pm till 6 or 8am. I would not be able
to function as well as he does! I have found the perfect bike that I want. They
have a "boys" one that is dark blue and a "girls" one that is baby blue. Doesnt that
just match us?? :) In a month or so we'll get them. Yay! I use to spend HOURS a
day on my bike when I was younger. I rode that thing EVERY where. My office
is probably moving out to Riverton, and if that happens then I will ride it to work
every day! I really hope it does! Morning bike rides are the best.
I'm excited for St. Patricks Day! I got a green scarf to wear. :) I am totally lookin
forward to it! hehe.
Lately I have been working getting rid of the weight I've gained the last 3 years.
I was struggling and struggling to lose any weight, then one day it dawned on me.
I was focusing on the numbers too much. I havent ever been a size 2 jeans. I think
I just skipped right over those numbers. lol But I would like to be a size 6 again.
But I kept getting down cause the scale wasnt showing me the numbers I wanted to see.
Then I decided to try on a pair of jeans I wore back in 2007 when me dad passed away.
They hadnt fit very well at all for a while. But I pulled them out and wow, they fit!
So I put on my swim suit, and it didnt look AS scary. lol So I have changed my attitude
and focus. Now I am focusing on getting in shape. I am not so concerned about the
NuMbErS anymore. I am enjoying see my clothes fit better and feeling better about
the way I look in them! So I have been more progress, and I find it easier to make
time to work out, cause I am more motivated. The brian is a weird and bizzar concept.
haha.
Hope you are all doing well and enjoying life!
