Mother's Day, Birthday And The New Condo

This year my birthday and Mother's Day fell on the same day.  It was a really good day though!  I woke up to some really fun presents. We also left and drove to St. George where we spent a few days and Josh worked.  My mom came with us because they just bought a new condo and we got it all set up, decorated and cleaned.  


Could it get any cooler?? The Harry Potter movies on Blue Ray and a ring from Tiffany's!!


I love this ring!! It is so simple but so pretty!  It has the Tiffany blue color in it and I just love it!!


We got to St. George and spent time at the pool! It was very hot while we were down there so we couldn't do much else outside besides being next to the pool where we could cool off. Drake liked pretending that I was a dog and he was my owner!


This kid has an awesome life!!






We made the usual stop at the Swig at least two times a day for a Dirty Diet Coke and a Sugar Cookie!!



My mom and I shopped a lot and got a lot of cute stuff with out spending too much!! 





Despite the above picture of Stella, the kids loved hanging out at the new condo and thought it was pretty cool that they can go to two different condos in St. George!





A tour of the new condo.


Family room





Master bedroom



Guest bathroom




Kitchen





It is a really cute place and feels so cozy!


On our way home we stopped at th Chevron in Beaver.  They have awesome service there and Drake loves the big rocking chair.


Both of my kids have a picture like this!! Stella had a blowout on the way home and had to have a bath in the sink!


We saw a really pretty double rainbow on the way home one Salt Lake.



 When I got home I saw that Brad had installed my new faucet that I got for my birthday!! He is so thoughtful and I appreciated so much tht he surprised me with this!

A Day Trip To Twin Falls


We took a day trip to Twin Falls to celebrate Grandpa Baird's 85th birthday! It was so fun to see everybody and for Drake to hang out with his cousins.  He had so much fun! 



The kids played outside all day!  They played in the sprinklers and had a blast!





Drake and Lily


Drake and Capri






Our kids love Grandpa Baird. Stella locations it on his lap and Drake talks about him all of the time. 




Before we left to come home we had to make a quick stop at Target and get something to eat!


Cinco De Mayo and Birthdays


On May 5th we had a day of celebration. Not only was it Cinco de Mayo but it was also my Grandpa's and Lexi's birthday.  We had a fiesta at my mom's house with lots of yummy Mexican food complete with a piƱata!  It was a great day with family!








My Friends Are Awesome


I have the coolest friends ever!! We have a girls night once a month with a group of us that are all in the same ward. Somebody different hosts it each month and we go and eat food, paint our nails and chat til 3:00 a.m.  It really is so much fun and I look forward to this night each month!  Well one month my good friend Bug hosted it at her house and did a Harry Potter party!! We all got invitations and were assigned a character to dress up as and we were given a food assignment.  


I was assigned Professor Severus Snape!


When we got there the whole house was decorated and the lights were low. It felt like we were in Hogwarts!! My favorite decoration was in the bathroom!


We had all sorts of food that are in the books!  I was in charge of making Treacle Tarts and Lemon Drops.  There were chocolate frogs, acid pops, pumpkin pasties, pumpkin juice and of course butter beer!!


Bug was Voldermort.


Heather was Professor Dumbledore and Whit was Luna Lovegood


Madelyn was Harry Potter


Jennie was Ron Weasley.

Tessa was Hermoine, Hayley was Hagrid, Kelsi was Belatrix Lestrange, Celeste was Professor Trewlaney and Mckenzie was Dobby! It was such a fun night of fun, trivia, treats and staying late chatting!! I love these awesome friends of mine!!
