Brad's Birthday

We had fun celebrating Brad's birthday this year!

 That morning- Maggie woke up super early, so we decided to take Brad to a new breakfast place we had heard good things about in downtown Naperville.  Egg Harbor cafe-  DELICIOUS!

 No one was walking outside downtown at 7:30am so we had the fountains to ourselves.

 Making Brownies

 Frosting cupcakes

 Brad got a cool new little rocket gun.

Happy Mother's Day

 To our wonderful Mothers and Grandmothers!

Easter Dress

This post is pretty late- but I had to get these pictures up for my mom.   I made this dress in my sewing class at BYU- and this year it fit Maggie like a glove for Easter- so perfect!  Can you tell that her favorite toy in her Easter basket was her "magic flute?"

 Oh- and baby Brigham was born a few days after Easter-  I got to go visit him in the hospital-  favorite Aunt!!! He is soooo cute!

Fun Visitors

We were lucky to have some fun visitors last week! I was so excited for my cousin Becca and her family to come stay with us. We used the back seat of our van for the first time! Hooray!

Except- I've been fired at taking pictures. Not one of Becca and I. And none of our husbands. But some of the kids. It was really hard to get Henry and Maggie to both look at the camera- but I tried.






We had fun at parks, the Children's Museum, and Easter egg hunts. Maggie loved having cousins stay with us- she talks about Henry all the time still- come back!

CA Birthday

Last year, you might remember that I went to visit my sister, Cami, in NC for my birthday. This year- I got to go home to CA to spend time with my parents. (March 29th is not the best time for a birthday when you are married to a tax accountant). So my wonderful husband gave me a trip for my birthday while he was busy working at home!

Maggie insisted on pulling her Dora suitcase through the entire airport. She was a great traveler- thanks to her having her own seat now that she's two!

Maggie had a great time with my parents. Grandpa and Grandma sure spoiled her!

Hard to leave CA, but easy when your awesome Daddy picks you up from the airport!
