The year (so far) in review

Want to know what we've been up to this year...?

JANUARY: Cousin A. tied the knot. I went alone to her weding while Dave worked overtime. She served cookies, donuts, and hot chocolate -- all the kids were in heaven!

FEBRUARY: I threw an amazing Mardi Gras party complete with delicious food, masks, and a parade!

MARCH: We celebrated Dave's birthday with dinner at The Old Spaghetti Factory and breakfast at the Little America.

APRIL: Clive and I hid the Easter eggs and then he joined all the little cousins in the hunt to find them. It was pretty funny to watch him go to places where we hid eggs only to find that they were gone. I'm not sure he understood that others had beat him to it.

MAY: Jill graduated from her Master's program at Utah State. I was enthralled watching all the graduates get hooded.  We were too far away for a good picture but luckily the jumbotron caught the action. Way to go, Jill!

Oh, and one more important event happened in May...

Dave and I welcomed Benjamin into our family!
