Eryn's Visit

 Becky bought Scott a trip for his birthday... which meant yay for us! We got Eryn for a few days!!!

This is Eryn's first trip ever to Ross. She loved it. Why wouldn't she? We bought a treasure box of make up and brought it home to Sydney. Oh, yeah.

 

Make over time.

 Dad came too. He and Jeff had a good time. Hahaha.

 

We love our Eryn. She is the best! We had so much fun shopping and playing, and then I snuck her out for lunch just me and her.

Eryn

I love this beautiful girl! Her dance team are the State Champions for the Jazz competition!! I am so proud of her and I really really want to see her dance!! So does Sydney! We're planning on going over next month to see her.

Becky sent me this letter she found in Eryn's room from 4 years ago! Holy cow I love that girl. She is so good to my Sydney and loves her so much!

In E

We had a little birthday celebration for Tim at Grandpa Bell's house. Nothing big, just cake and lunch and a family game of apples to apples. We gave him trick candles, just to throw off the 16 year old. 

Eryn apparently does not like kisses... so we all had to kiss her... several times.

We love these cousins!

It really doesn't seem to matter that there are years between Kailey, Eryn and Sydney, those girls love each other and play together and have so much fun spending time together. I'm so thankful for sweet beautiful nieces who love my girl so much.

Annie

Becky came over Friday and we all took the kids to the new Annie movie. It was adorable! And the kids all loved it. My boys have been singing it ever since.

And Sydney was very very angry about leaving. :/

Cousin Day

Uncle Scott took her out to lunch and she fell in love with fried mac n' cheese bits. Yum! She is one happy girl!

This picture isn't from the day they watched Sydney, I didn't have any, but Sydney does love her Uncle Scott and so I had to share one of the two of them!

Spring Break Day #1

We had the funnest beginning to our spring break, Becky and Eryn came to see us! 

Becky brought all the kids books. :)

And worked with Seth on his reading. 

I also made my sister watch Austenland and eat 9 Iron veggie pizza with me. Good times!

The Funnest Birthday Gift eVeR!

A few years ago I turned 30 and I made a list of 30 things I wanted to do in my 30's. I've done a few. And I haven't done a few. One of those things was to see Brad Paisley in concert. I didn't realize since that blog post my sister Becky has been looking every year to find me Brad Paisley tickets. She was looking for me and Jeff, well apparently Brad Paisley always plays in Utah in August, when Jeff is super busy, so this year she decided we were gonna have to go without him. (Sorry baby!)

It was such a surprise.

And probably the most fun birthday gift I've ever gotten!

We sang this song, trying to memorize it, all the way there!

So, I am probably not the best judge... seeing how my one and only concert before this one was 20 years ago. (yikes! that sounds like a long time ago!!) But, wowza it was such a good concert! My sister who has been to more than a dozen of concerts agreed whole heartedly that it was one of the better ones she's been to!

It was awesome!!

 

 

Lee Brice, Chris Young, and the Henningsen's opened for him. And they were all pretty great too! No Brad... but good! :)

This picture is totally out of order... it's us at the airport the next day picking up Kailey's BFF, Paige.

 

This is when he sang mine and Jeff's song. :)

"Then"

Half way through the concert he came down into the crowd, just rows from our already amazing seats!! and sang a few songs. We were so darn close to him!

He's right behind me in this picture... my darn hat is covering him!!

 

After singing in the crowd he walked on the walkway right in front of us!!

Love these girls! And missing our Kristy!
