Too many Easter egg hunts!

In the last week we have been to four Easter egg hunts. The first started at Heath's grandparent's Nanny and Bomps house. Now this was an interesting one because it was out in their shed. There was snow on the ground so they decided to do it in there.

Easter Egg hunt #1

It doesn't look like an Easter Egg hunt does it. And Parker wasn't real interested in the eggs he just wanted to get on the Lawn mower.
At the end of the Easter Egg hunt Heath's Uncle Michael Asked Abby his now fiance' to marry him. The ring was inside a golden egg. Isn't that so Cute! What a fun day that was. Congratulations to Michael and Abby!


Easter egg hunt #2

This was at our neighborhood park
Parker and his buddy Drake!Tandi, Parker, Drake, & Graham

Easter egg hunt #3

This was at Grandma Hartley's Complex Cottonwood Cove. We had a good time being with grandma. Easter egg hunt #4

Sorry I got these in the wrong order this was actually the second Easter egg hunt. This was at grandma Patti's house. It was a scavenger hunt and at the end they got a treasure chest full of prices and eggs.

Almost Walking

Tandi is so close to walking. She could do it if she wasn't so timid. She has been walking along walls, cupboards, and furniture. Today she took about 10 steps. I still look at her and think she is too little to be walking.

Dyeing Easter Eggs

Parker and I had a great time dyeing Easter eggs. Parker was so fascinated with the changing colors of eggs. He is so fun! I'm glad that we get to spend a lot of time together.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!


Flash back in time

Yesterday was our anniversary. We have been married 6 years. And I can honestly say we have had an awesome marriage. I am so grateful that Heath asked me to marry him. I know that the Lord had a hand in bringing us together. We have truly been blessed in every aspect of our lives. And the greatest gifts we've received is our two beautiful children! 6 years down and forever to go! I love you Heath! Our wedding day! I know it's cheesy!

This is when we were dating.


This is how Heath asked me to Marry him. It was out in his grandpa's shed on Christmas Eve.

Our little one year old!

I can't believe it's been a year. We have been so blessed to have Tandi in our family. She is such a sweet little girl! She loves to be around people and loves attention. Her and her brother Parker get along so well. We love her little giggles and screams. She melts our hearts with her hugs, kisses, and her bright browns eyes and oh those cute little curls. We don't know what we would do without our little Tandi Rae. Everyday we thank our Father in Heaven for her.

This is the day she came down to this earth. She was so beautiful!

Happy 1st Birthday Tandi!

Yesterday Tandi turned one! We had a little party for her.

This is her opening presents. She loved her dolly.

Marley helped her open presents.

Singing Happy Birthday!

Right away she was grabbing at the cake. She din't care about the candle.

Yummy!

Want Some?

I'm in Heaven!

Playing with her balloon!

All the kids eating their cake.

Reading with Dad

I thought that this was so sweet!

I LOVE OREOS & MILK

Parker loves to eat oreos and milk. I think it all started from his dad. That's Heath's favorite. Whenever I go to the grocery store I always make sure to buy a package of oreos for my boys. Here he is dunking.
Look at the those teeth.

Ashley Came To Play


We always love when Ashley comes over. And today I just had to get a picture. They were watching a movie and I came in the room and they were both laying just like this. What a perfect picture. They are a year apart. Both were born in October.

It's about time!

Well I have been tagged like three times so I probably should do this. Sorry it has taken so long.

A: The rules of the game are posted at the beginning. B: Each player answers the questions about themselves. C: At the end of the post, the player then tags 3 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

10 years ago
I was a blonde, curly haired, bouncy, goofy, cheerleader. I was a freshman at the good old Alameda. My main concern was my friends and If my so called boyrfriend was going to write me a note that day.

5 things on my list
1) make a ok dinner
2) teach Parker how to write his name
3) Kiss Tandi's scrumptious cheeks another 20 times
4) Clean out my closet and get rid of some clothes
5) Remind Parker to go potty so he doesn't pee his pants

I enjoy
1) cuddling with Heath on the couch and watching a movie when the kids go to bed.
2) Having fun with family, friends, and of course Heath
3) Reality shows
4) Talking on the phone
5) reading, when I get the chance

3 bad habits
1) not being patient. I get annoyed real easily.
2) wasting time
3) Picking! I love to pick at Heath and my kids. The best is when Heath is peeling after a sunburn. (I know it's gross)

5 places I have lived
1) Pocatello
2) Rexburg
3) I quess I need to get out more.

5 jobs
1) Dental assistant for Dr. Herzog
2) Pocatello Parks and Rec. ( Some good memories with my bud Becky)
3) Dental assistant for Dr. Holm
4) Dental assitant and receptionist for Dr. Mcwhorter
5) And the #1 job ever is Mommy

5 things people don't know about me
1) I love to sleep in.
2) I love to wake board, golf, camp, and scrapbbok.
3) Heath is the only guy I ever said "I Love You" to.
4) I have never broke a single bone in my body. Knock on wood. If I did Heath would be the one to x- ray it.
5) I drove the coolest car ever in high school. At the time i didn't think it was so cool. It was a Pontiac Grand Am like 30 years old and 30 feet long. The outside was jungle green with matching interior. The seat would buzz until the driver and passenger would buckle up. Some good memories! Sorry dad I made you sell it.

The five I've chosen to tagg is: Leslie, Jen, Dana, Lindsey, and Heidi.

Fold your arms

It was about a week ago and we were getting ready to say prayers and Heath said fold your arms. And I looked over at Tandi and she had her arms folded. It was so sweet. So I had to get a picture of it. It is so cute because she is starting to immitate things that I do. Like talking on the phone or waving bye bye. My little girl is growing up. It makes me sad and happy too. I love this blogging stuff because I will look back and remember the cute things my kids have done.

Sledding Adventure

Parker has beeen asking Heath and I for months to go sledding. So we decided today would be a good day to go. The Briscoe's came too. We had a great time other than the wind started to blow towards the end.Heath and Parker getting ready to go down. The little girls got cold so they watched from the car.

Marley and Boden are ready to go.

Tandi the pink snow bunny.

I love this picture of Boden with his goggles on.
