LUAU!!!

This last weekend we had such a wonderful and fun opportunity to go to a FUN luau (up at USU) but also support family!! Both of my super cute and not so small nephews were in a couple of the islands dances! More importantly Tonga where their family started from. The food was made for hundreds and Aaron was in heaven with it. (He served in New Zealand and LOVES poly food!!) It just was super fun to see the dances, chants, eat the food and just enjoy the surroundings all together. I have never felt so white!! Ha Ha!

Eating the great food with lots of fun family and friends!

More dances!

Even saw my NIECE (and guy friend) from my side of the family and dared them to eat the food! It is very different if you haven't tried it before! They liked!

The family!!!

Scary MASON doing the Hakka tongue!

Me trying it out as well! Not so good! HA!

MUSCLES! Sharpy tats at their finest!

TONGUES! Gotta LOVE these boys and their talent!

Lastly I thought I would throw in a few pics for our last GNO that I hosted at my house! I couldn't think of something to do for this grand occasion and didn't have much time to do it! POTATO'S was the answer!We ate a plethora of potato foods...and some treats! 

FRIES of course!!

Tater TOTS of course!

Spud nut donuts and Idaho spud bars...but of course!

Potato chips and DIPS! OHHH YEAH!!

We played the ohh so random game of HOT POTATO and when it landed on you, you got to choose an idem to wear...and by the end of it all...WE ALL LOOKED HOT! ohhh YEAH! Poop the potato never got pictured...but was quite the sight! Randomness sometimes pays off I tell ya! he he he

Added bonus! The next day the boys got into the dress ups and were clear down the street wearing them. HA HA! We just had to laugh, and of course take a picture! LOVE these boys!!

3 years old!!

Davin turns the whopping ~big~ 3 years old!!

Davin was so excited for his big day and it finally came!!! He was in heaven with all the fun cousin's coming from outta town to share it with him. Grandma and Grandpa are now back in town and were great hosts for the most delish meal before hand.


The invitation said: "Drag- on" over and get some lively energy at Davin's DRAGON party!! He LOVES Dragon's!!! He has been so into DRAGON'S as of late, it only seemed appropriate! His most favorite thing was his DRAGON cake!
The BIRTHDAY BOY being sung to!

GOOF BALLS!
Back to Davin! He got lots of fun presents to play with and of course some DRAGON'S too!!! He was such a happy little dude! Love him!

Lot's of helpers!!
Then it was time for the coloring contest!! We printed out lots of different dragon coloring pages for all who wanted to enter....and to color. People were all over the house coloring there pictures hoping to WIN the big prize! (box of skittles..hee hee)
Hard core concentration of this endeavor....all around!

Then it was time for the Birthday BOY JUDGE to pick his favorite!
LYDIA was the BIG winner!!! She got a treat and an award! Made her day and Davin just loved her picture of the Dragon! So CUTE!

Happy Birthday little buddy! We LOVE you so much and are soooo happy that you are our little boy! You always have a smile on your face and everyone notices that! We love it too! You are a GREAT friend to Tate and you LOVE the idea of a new little brother to play with. You kiss mommies belly all the time and are concerned if he and mommy are alright! You wait all day to play DRAGON'S with daddy, and he LOVES to! What a pure sweetie you are! We just can't get enough of you Davin! The last three years have been so much more fun and complete with you in them. LOVE YOU LOVE YOU LOVE YOU! Happy Birthday 3rd DAVIN!!

EASTER!!!!!!

Everyone LOVES Easter time! It is getting warm outside, the flowers are starting to bloom...and the kids are HAPPY as ever for the EASTER BUNNY to arrive! (of course that is not the real reason for the season...but they are still young and learning bit by bit!) This is how the weekend went down....

Friday evening we made some white eggs COLORFUL! These boys did a FAB job as you can tell.

Adding the final touches.....

Saturday Morning the EASTER BUNNY arrived! They found their buckets in some hard hiding places, and enjoyed looking at their toys and treats the rest of the morn/day!


The boys stayed home the rest of the morning with Grandma and Grandpa while Aaron and I had such a wonderful opportunity to go to Aaron's sweet cousin's sealing! Sealings are always so neat, but especially when a child is involved. The day was pretty much perfect and BEAUTIFUL!!!
Many family and friends waiting to congratulate the newly sealed family!
The sweet family coming out!
After which was pictures and a luncheon at the Elements! Funny thing is our long lost friends are family with the other side. It was great having them up from Vegas for this...but also to chat and catch up! We have been trying to get to their place all winter...but due to pregnancy complications it never happened. This worked out wonders!

BUB and AARON!
NELLY and CHAREE!
Family here and there.....and everywhere!
Good times!
I got to take these BEAUTIES home even! Made my YEAR!! LOVE THEM!
G & G Wheeler came all the way down for this great occasion as well. We spent the evening visiting and enjoying their WONDERFUL selves. Wish we could see them more! LOVE THEM SOOOO MUCH!
The kids LOVE Great G & G too!
Three Generations!
Traditional Easter Morning picture after church! HAPPY EASTER!!!
We then did a little traditional egg hunt with the neighbors out back!

Checking out each others baskets of eggs!
Checkin' out and Eatin' the treats! YUM!
Then we were off to G & G Barfuss' house for EASTER dinner! The boys got play trucks from grandma and another egg hunt!
Lots of eggs where....EVERYWHERE in their huge yard!

The BOYS were in HEAVEN! Happy Easter ya'll!
As an added bonus....I keep forgetting to get my traditional half way point prego shots! These happen to be the first taken for this pregnancy! SLACKER I am?? YES!

Half way there belly!
Another sweet BaBy BOY!
