Wedding, A Guitar, & Costco

It's been a CRAAAAZY last couple weeks. First of all, my baby sister got married on Friday!!! Then we had the reception on Saturday. It turned out stunning and gorgeous and precious all at the same time. She looked so gorgeous, I WILL be posting some pics as soon as I dump my memory card. (That's why sometimes I don't put pics with my posts, just in case you wondered.) She and Nick are so dangin cute!!!

James, my sweet and spontaneous hubby, came home the other day with a guitar! Apparently he is going to re-learn and develop some strummin skills. He has always played, but we relied on our parents' guitars so he didn't get to play as much as he would like. So, you know, get the man a guitar...why not today!?!?!? It was a little shocking but I am loving hearing him play and sing like he used to. :)

Jaxon and I went to Costco for the first time in a LONG time yesterday. We figured we would just pick up a few things then go to the regular grocery store. Close to $400.00 dollars later!!! OH MY GOOD HELL!!!! Honestly. I mean I didn't even get any I-pods or tvs. Canned corn, frozen egg rolls and some fruit stretch yummies. That's pretty much all we have to show for it. Oh yeah, and a couple year supply of James Mach Three Turbo shaver replacements. But $400.00?!?!?! Geese. I swear that place is like "All-a-Dollar" except "All-Ten-Dollars." I have to say it feels really good to have some food for the next five years, but wow. You would think I could have snuck something exciting in there, like a rotisserie chicken or something. Needless to say we definitely didn't make a trip to a "normal" grocery store, we figured Jaxon probably needed to ride in his carseat...after all it was hard enough to clear a two-foot-square space in the backseat.

Oh, this weekend was so relaxing and fun... We went down to the Cookies'. It was SO nice.

We...
*watched conference (loved it--especially last session--and hearing from our Pres. Monson)
*made a bunch of mix cds (my favorite)
*played games (Apples to Apples was my fave this weekend)
*ate snacks and YUMMY food (Thanks Mama especially my specialty eggs on toast done right only by my Mommy,mmm)
*Jax and James caught a total of 5 bees in a jar and studied them (Jax came in from the Bee hunt and told me, "Mama see--is a bee not a wion (lion)," we were confused until the ride home we figured out James was telling everyone we found the bees on a dandilion...gotta love that...)
*we had some serious dance party--(can't get enough of Erin hip-hoppin)
*jumped on the tramp and played "duck, duck, goose!" (We have variations--it's thrilling)
*snuggled our freakin brains out
*watched Enchanted a few more times (we are totally addicted...as soon as it's over, Jax says, "Mama, I want mow Da-sell."{I want more Gisell})
*had some siestas
*laughed lots
*had some wedding talk.
It was really such an escape. I truly ADORE my family and love spending time with them, really. It's amazing..

It's Easter Time

One of our traditions since James and I were first married is to get what we call in a funny voice, "Easta shets" (Easter shirts)...Which are just casual bright shirts that are happy colors and springy!!! I didn't wear mine in these pics, I was freezing, but the boys have theirs on.

My little man, ooh I love when he wraps his little arms around me and gives me an "anaconda squeeze" (Nacho Libre:)
My hot boyz
Jax wanted a turn to take a picture, so we followed the camera! :)

*A Fun Weekend*

We went to see, "Horton Hears A Who" Jaxon was enthrawled the whole time. However, during the previews he kept pulling my arm over his face because it was a, "BIIIIG movie." He got SO excited to see that another Ice Age is coming out!!

On our way to the movie...James is diggin this picture, poor guy puts up with lotsa pictures.
The Saturday before Easter-- we were heading down to the community Easter egg hunt...We got there five minutes after it was supposed to start and it was over!! Jax didn't care, we went to the park and played with Sebastian! We heard the "hunt" lasted thirty seconds...yowza.



Inside the "swide."

"We're buddies!"

So we have had this tradition since I can remember...We put our faces really close together and say, "WEEEEEEEE'RE BUUUUUUUUDIES!" My mom says my brother Andy came up with the idea when he was tiny. Jaxon loves to do this. Last night we were all just chillin, cleaning, laundry etc. Jax was watching "Wiw (little) chef" (Ratatouille). He started screaming, "Mommy, Daddy, Mommy, Daddy come snuggow (snuggle). So James and I came over and he situated us right where he wanted us...spooning with him right on top of us!!! He loves when we are all together. He especially loves having both of our full attention and the same time. I love that he wants us!!! I pray that never changes...
