April Showers Bring May Flowers

This month has not gone by as fast as March for us. This makes me glad because it is fun just enjoying the weather and family. Jeff's older sister Rachel got married to Chad this month. We were unable to make the trip done to San Diego. This was really sad for us. We wanted to spend time with the family and go somewhere that we have never been. Jeff was not able to take time off of school to go. Tear. We might have not been physically present but our thoughts were there. We are so excited for Rachel!!!!! We wish them all the best in the world. It's too bad they live so far away in Minot, North Dakota. Maybe some day they will move closer. 
Here is a pic from their wedding:
P.S. I stole this from Rachel's Facebook.

We got to go to Idaho Falls with Nana and Grandma to go visit Jeff's grandparents. We also visited my grandma and surprised Jennifer in Rexburg. Then we went to my cousin Shani's baby shower in Blackfoot. It was so much fun seeing family and having a girls weekend. Later that night we went to Max's first birthday and his dad's Kevin's surprise birthday party. It was a blast. We left on Sunday for home. It was a great weekend!
Here's a pic from the weekend:

Photos to come :)

I can't believe it!

Let's start off by listing the top I cannot believe moments of the month:


  • Rayna is 13 months old this month!
  • Rayna finally got two teeth!
  • We got to go on a family vacation to Orcas Island!
  • Jeff and I have been married for 4 years!
  • Rayna is taking her first steps!
It is so crazy to think that all these wonderful things have happened this month! It sure does make life worth living. It also makes you realize how blessed you are. I have decided that we are truly blessed. Rayna is such a good teether! Well except at night. That's when her teeth seem to bother her the most. Thank goodness for teething tablets!

Here is some pics from our lovely trip and anniversary:
