Whoop s! I thought I had lost these pictures but here I went and found them. So pretend this is some time in March when you are reading about this. Heather and Scott suprised us with wonderful news! They were coming to visit us. They were making the long drive up with the whole fam to come and visit us. WE were just so excited and we had every reason to be because we ended up having a ball. All the cousins loved to play with eachother. Some of our funnest times were just sitting around the house talking and laughing. But we did lots of other fun activities. We went to the park, we went to the sand dunes. To the temple, to Judd's out to eat. We were so sad to see them go. We love you Matthews family!

 And here is a good picture of Alice thinking she needs to be just as big as the big kids and jump into uncle Brians arms.  Crazy danger baby girl. (it looks like it but  she actually isn't falling in this picture, she is standing right now on a little ledge, so don't think uncle Brian let her jump from the top. Uncle brian knows how to keep her safe and still let her be just as big.

Look at this Super cute girly. She is covered in sour cream and looking so cute.

Just look at these mountains! So beautiful, and so much fun to go to. Jude is always asking to go to the mountains and it is hard to say No. It is such a treat to run around and get fresh air and let the kids get out their wiggles.

Kids can't resist a puddle.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEREK!!! Derek's actual birthday was on a Monday which in adult terms means super busy. So I decided to take Derek out to his favorite resturant the Saturday before his birthday. This is us just being silly and fun. We are just such a cute couple of kids!

 Then Derek and I went inside our car and had our "cake." It was a peanut buttercup(Derek's favorite) complete with candle. I gave Derek his present (a booksmart book of sentimental value  I had been working on since January!) All in all it was pretty fun for an adult birthday. We love you Derek!!

What's with that wierd face Derek? You are making that whole canned Chicken look unappetizing. So much Yuck!

BEES!!! BEES!! SO MANY BEES! The kids and I were out recycling and we saw an oddity of nature that we couldn't resist getting up close and dangerous with. There were so many bees. I have never seen them do something like this and I have no idea what they were up o but they were dedicated. They weren't going to move for anyone. The bees were kind of creepy but what really scared me was how close Jude and Alice were willing to get. They have no fear. Luckily no one got stung and it was just a super cool random wonder.
