Some fun visitors!

A couple weeks ago my mom, Lisa, and Lily came up to visit us. It was my mom's Spring Break, and Lisa and Lily came too! It was so fun to have them here for a few days, and of course, the visit went by way too fast! We played, went on walks, my mom and Lisa got sick, went out to eat, and shopped. My mom spoiled Jack and baby boy! :) It was so fun to have them up for a visit! They sure are lots of fun, and it was nice to have them here for company while Dustin went away for a football scrimmage thing for a couple of days!

Here is Lisa and Jack building a sweet marble tower.

We took some fun pictures after church. Here is cute little Lily Lynn in her Easter dress!

I think this picture is funny. It looks like Jack is saying, "What's up?"

A close up, but you can still see the big belly beast!

Jack making a crazy face and practically strangling Lily!
A little better of a pic...Lily was a good sport to put up with Jack! Jack was not quite sure what to think of Lily crawling over and touching his toys.....he will have to learn pretty soon to deal with that! :)

Thanks for the visit! We loved having you here!

Easter Fun!

We had a wonderful Easter weekend. Jack of course got spoiled by both sets of Grandparents and his mom and dad. We enjoyed spending the weekend together as a family and watching General Conference as well.
Here is Jack quite happily opening his Easter package from Grandma and Grandpa Hansen. He was very excited to open a couple of eggs and get a dollar and some "monies". :)
We got lots of snow the weekend of Easter, but that didn't stop us from taking Jack to an Easter egg hunt. Here is Jack with the Easter Bunny!
Jack posing before the hunt began.
Posing with some "Frosty Bunnies."
Playing on toys to entertain until the hunt began.
Then of course he had to throw snowballs at Mommy while we waited. (Two years olds do not understand patience!)
Jack picking up the Easter eggs.
He was a speedy and was cramming egg after egg into his basket. He was awesome!
Jack with a stick and his loot. I hope other parents weren't mad at me cuz my son rocked the hunt! :)

Jack and his overflowing Easter basket.
Opening a present Easter morning!
Jack was very excited to get a little set of gold clubs. Here is Daddy showing him proper form!
Jack and his chocolate bunny, Hopper.
A big Easter egg of Lifesaver yumminess!
Obviously very excited about his Easter basket full of eggs and candy!

Jack also got a sweet new baseball mitt and ball.
Daddy and Jack enjoying their Easter breakfast of cinnamon rolls and juice.
Here is Jack opening his Easter package from Grandma and Grandpa Enslinger. He really liked his ball eggs and his Spiderman bucket!
Both Grandma's got Jack the fun, muscial book Peter Cottontail! (I just think they wanted to drive me and Dustin crazy! :) HA!)
It was a fun Easter, and it was great spending the weekend together as a family! We are still enjoying lots of candy and Easter eggs around our house.

Spring Break

For Spring break we all got to head down to Utah for a little break! Even Dustin got to come. I must say, the 6 hour drive is much better with him in the car too! :) We had lots of fun in Utah with Lisa, Lily, my mom, and my dad. We also got to see lots of family, and I got to go to lunch with my long, lost high school pals, Tana and Amos! It was a much needed and very relaxing trip!
Jack travels really great, and so does Chewie, but we did stop and buy some 25 cent toys at a gas station that kept Jack pretty entertained in the home stretch of the drive!
Jack was absolutely obsessed with Lily while we were there. I think he is gonna be a very (maybe too much so) helpful big brother!
We all really enjoyed hanging out with cute little Lily!! Dustin and I got to babysit her while Lisa was at work and school. We got a little taste of what it will be like with two little ones....
Lisa, Jack, and Lily
Me, Jack, and Lily
Seriously, the cutest! :)
Lisa and Lily at the Willow Park zoo.
Our little fam wit ha sweet peacock behind us! We actually had some cool experiences at the zoo. We got to see a peacock with its full feathers spread, heard coyotes howling for their food, and saw some bobcats.
Jack and Daddy playing on the slides!
Lisa and Lilster!
Jack having fun swinging!
Jack hopping around with Peter Cottontail! :)
We got to spend some time with cousins and celebrate Aubrey and Ryan's birthdays. Here is Miley, Jack, and Ryan on the horsie! (And yes, my son is a cheeseball!)
The cousins gathered around the cakes!
Getting ready to go on a walk!
Another cute pic of Lily! Hey, I am having sons...I gotta enjoy the girly girl when I can! :)

Bath time fun!

Dustin saying goodbye to Lily!
Jack entertaining himself on the drive home. The kid did not sleep the entire drive home!
Oh and probably the best and most important part of the trip for me was visiting this beautiful place!

I was able to go to the temple and receive my endowments. It was an amazing experience! My mom, dad, Grandma and Grandpa Belnap, Lisa, Rick and Stacy, and Kirk and Amy all joined me for my first time going through. It was overwhelming and wonderful all at the same time! I am thankful for my family who was there, a husband that loves me and supports me, the blessings that this experience will hopefully bring to my family and me, and for the faith that I have that one day I will be sealed to Dustin and my kiddos there for eternity!
