...Tooele...

Any post that starts with shelves full of candy is a good post!
Me and my mom drove out to see my sister and her kids in Tooele on Monday. My mom had a hair appointment so me, Shani, Kate, and Rylee went to the candy store... Sweet Lizzie's! 
Not to sound like a little kid, but it was so much fun! It was wall to wall candy and decorated so cute! Rylee was a little overwhelmed by it all at first, but once she saw everything and decided on a twisted rainbow sucker she was okay! 


Ry's favorite table

K, so I was just clicking on these pictures to see them bigger when I noticed something weird and funny!! While we were in the store this girl came in. I'm sure she is a very nice girl, but she was a little weird. She followed us around the whole time telling us about her addiction to sugar, and how her mom would kill her if she knew she was in a candy store. She knew everything about chocolate and was telling me all about it. It didn't stop her that I was chasing Rylee around the store either... she just followed me and kept talking chocolates. The topper was when she informed that my daughter was sticky and I really should clean her up. She asked me if I had wipes for her too. K, girl you need to give me some space! So, I click on the picture below to see it better, and who do I see almost jumping through the window... weird candy girl. I couldn't help but laugh my head off and be a little mad at the same time!
( click on the picture twice to make it really big) 

The perfect treat... popcorn flavored jelly bellies, twisted licorice, and a diet Dr. Pepper!!!  

After our sugar rush we all headed to Cafe Rio for lunch. We all could have shared one thing after all the candy we just ate... we each had about 2 bites of our food and were stuffed. We went back to Shani's house after thinking we would only stay for a minute, but after Rylee and Kate collided on the couch we were there a little bit longer then planned. 

Ry chasing the cat yelling, " Moe Moe I want you." Every cat is Mow Moe to her. 

Trying out the trike 

Like I said her and Kate collided on the couch. They were both jumping on the couch when Ry turned to jump back the other way right when Kate was jumping into her. Within seconds Rylee had a baseball sized goose egg on her forehead. It made me sick to look at it. Because she had gotten a concussion a month earlier I was a little worried so we rushed her to the Instacare to get her checked out. Everything looked fine with her, so we headed back with a very sad little girl. I had never seen her cry to much. For a half hour she just sobbed!  Kate was okay, just a little bump. I felt bad for both of them, but so glad no one got really hurt. This picture was about an hour an half  after they hit. The swelling had gone down a lot. Poor little girl is sportin a black and blue forehead now! 

Since we stayed longer then planned we got to see the other kids too.
Yes, my daughter always has her finger up her nose!

...Easter 2011...

The Easter Bunny definitely found us Easter morning!
We had such a fun morning with Rylee! 

Checking out her basket

When all was said and done she would have been happy with "lippies" ( lipgloss) and her Easter dress! 


This year she didn't get what the Easter Bunny was. She had heard all the cousins and our friends talking about the Easter Bunny coming, so she kept saying the Bunny is coming. She still thought a basket full of toys was pretty cool though! 


She carried her dress all over the house saying, " The Easa Bunny bought me a dess." 

The best pic of Easter morning that I could get of her... hey at least she is looking!

Grandma P came over to eat breakfast and go to church with us.
The Bunny even found Gma! 

Chasey made us bacon, flower shaped pancakes, cinnamon rolls, and eggs! 
YUMMMMY

A little sugar after church

Some pics of her in her Easter dress


This picture reminds me of myself when I was little. I always closed my eyes for pictures. 


Driving home... from across the street.
Ry loves to drive the truck. In this picture she is saying, " huwwy lets go."

I love this picture of Ry! 

She got this new outfit for Easter, and even though it was FREEEZING on Easter she sported her summer clothes. When I put a coat on her she flipped out. Im pretty sure she needs to be a Florida baby... she loves her summer clothes! 

Hanging out at Grandma P's house. We stopped up to say hi real quick and have some chips and dip... a Grandma Betty classic. 

We headed up to Grandpa and Grandma Craig's house after for a BBQ and another egg hunt. The elk were out while we were up there... I always love seeing them.


All ready for the egg hunt... again!

Karen had an awesome idea...
She had 5 different colors of eggs, so each kid got their own color. It made it so everyone got about the same amount. Ry loved the eggs with quarters in them. She would open them and say, "oh mommy its moneys."



Ry has a lot of older cousins who take such good care of her. Ben helped Ry find all her eggs... thanks Ben!


Dad the BBQ King!


Every time we try to take a picture of these two one of them is looking away. This is the first time I have gotten picture of them both looking and somewhat smiling!


My SIL and her girls

Taken Karen's new toy out for a ride... so much fun!


Ry had a blast. The whole time she was yelling wahoo and laughing.


It was so cold, but so worth it.
Thanks Dad and Karen for a great Easter!
We had such a great Easter week!! 

... Grandma P's Egg Hunt...

Saturday was my moms annual Easter party. Its always a fun time with everyone, and the kids always have a blast with all the prizes my mom gets.
This year I was in charge of desserts. I stayed up until 4 in the morning making an awesome Easter dessert table. Totally worth the 3 hours of sleep I got!!

Rylee ready to go to Grandmas 

My bunny cupcakes

The best treats ever! 
Im not a huge fan of Peeps, but eating Peeps dipped in white chocolate and candy is a new favorite!! 

All the yummy treats! 


After a delicious lunch we headed out for an Easter egg hunt!
Ry had never really been on an egg hunt before. She did one last year but what can you really remember at 11 months old?! She actually caught on really quick though. I showed her one time to put her egg in the basket and that was all it took! 

Best thing about this picture is the Peep Mat has in his mouth as he tries to outrun the kids for their eggs!





She got sick of carrying her basket, so she sat it down and then brought the eggs over to it. 

The eggs with a "P" on them meant you could trade them in for a prize after.

Rylee and her cookie. She had so much candy Easter weekend it was ridiculous! 

Me and Kenna

Grandma P gave packets of flower seeds and Peeps to all the kids. 

Love him! 

The most attractive couple you will ever meet! 

Rylee was so tired by the end. She just let me cuddle her in the chair! 
Thanks for the great party Mom!!!
