We have lots of good friends in California that we count as family so that is who we spent our Easter weekend with. We went to the Jepsen's for an Easter egg hunt and barbeque on Saturday and on Sunday we had an amazing picnic in the park. It is so nice to be able to be outside all the time. It was the most beautiful weekend- so warm and sunny!
Cute hair Sarah! Your Easter hunt with the Jepsens and Atherleys (and others) looks so so fun. Your weather was about 50 times better than ours on Easter weekend... :) (here it was freezing and snowing)
I love all of your new posts. I clicked on one of the beach pics and saw all the sand on Jack's face!! Londyn ate the sand too, when we took her to Hawaii. And I love his cow carseat. Londyn has one like that but hers is red. Is he 20 lbs yet? It looked like he was still rear-facing. I can't believe how grown up he is, and you're right, this is sucj a fun stage! Its a little hard to think about having a newborn again one day!
Sarah! Can't believe I found your blog....was looking on Kendy's and saw your name. Jack is adorable-great to see pics of you guys. Sure we'll see you soon, take care.
Hi, I already left a comment on this post but I just have to tell you how impressed I am that you were going to run a half marathon. When I see those runners cross the finish line I always think it would be such an awesome sense of accomplishment...one I'll probably never experience! Sorry you broke your toe!
We have been in Lindon, Utah, for the past 5 years. Where are you? I know somewhere in the Bay Area. Anyway, we are doing well. Bryan started his own company as a Pool Contractor last year. The kids are tons of fun and keep me busy. Blake is an angel, and Sara is hell on wheels. We should get together sometime when you are in town.
He's adorable. I can't believe how big he's getting. You'll have to send me some new pics that I can add to my "not my kids" board. :-) Love you guys!!
California is so beautiful - I'm sure you'd love a bigger place but what a great place to live. I wish we were going to be able to make it to Ali's wedding but Mike has to work and I have a ton of YW's stuff and we are already going to be out in UT for all of July. With all of that it just doesn't work out for us. Wish it did.
