5 Days with D-Rawk

My brother Derek had a week between Winter semester and his internship starting so he decided to spend it with us. We made sure to do TONS of fun stuff so he would want to come visit us again. Here's some of the cool stuff we did...

1. We went to the Las Vegas Temple.

2. We went to see the Bellagio fountains and conservatory.

3. We ate some really yummy custard at Luv It.

4. We walked around the Cactus Gardens.

5. We went to Ethel M. Chocolates.

6. We went to Hoover Dam.

7. We walked down Fremont Street...even though it turned out to be a little crazy...

8. We went to the Wetlands Park.

9. Hung out with the cousins (sorry, I didn't get a picture of that.)

10. Cuddled with your favorite niece.

Man, it was a great trip and we already miss you. Hope you come visit again soon!

Hoppy Easter!

We had an "egg"cellent Easter with my sister Ashley's family. It was so fun to hang out and let our kids play together. They loved playing on the back patio the very most.

It was fun to dye eggs with these three girls. They each dyed two, but they had so much fun I wish I would have had more eggs!

Here is Emily, Cheyenne, and Delaney all ready to go to the the Easter festival.

Don't we look awesome? They took this picture of us at the festival.

We met the Easter Bunny, made Easter crafts, pet animals at the petting farm, went on an egg hunt, got some awesome prizes, and rode on one of these...

It was a blast! I think I was having more fun than Emily!

Then in the afternoon we went to the Bellagio fountains and walked through its conservatory.

Our little family at the Bellagio.

This is what it would look like if we had twins. I can totally pull it off, don't you think?

In the evening we had an egg hunt at home. Yes, our backyard is still under construction...

They got some awesome stuff.

Happy Easter!

After a great Easter service at church, we came home and had a feast. The kids LOVED the bunny cakes.

We sure loved having the Dilsavers here for Easter.

You better come NEXT Easter!!

30 and Loving It!

On Monday, April 7 Dad and Mom Burr came down for a quick little visit. Dad helped outside in the yard while Mom helped with the painting inside. Such great people to help us out!

On Saturday, April 12 we drove up to St. George to hang out with Grandpa and Grandma Burr. Emily is a pretty big fan.

And an added bonus...we got to hang out with Rachel and Blake. It was such a fun family gathering!

They even bought Greg a cake and sang Happy Birthday to him (a few days early). Yes, he really is 30 now...

Tuesday was Greg's real birthday! I made him some cinnamon rolls for breakfast.

Then this yummy feast for dinner: breaded chicken, chicken gravy, potatoes, corn, rolls, peaches, and grape juice.

Greg happy to be turning 30. Good bye 20's!

The birthday boy!! If you're wondering why Greg's cake looks like a "Barney cake" it's because Greg's favorite color is purple...

That evening we decided to check out this new park in town called "Container Park". It was pretty fun!

Tons of stuff for kids to play on and then shops and restaurants for the adults. 

There was even a band there and Emily got to play on the drums. Pretty cute.

Then since we were right there on Fremont Street, we decided to walk a ways down the road and check things out. I have never been down Fremont Street the whole time we've lived here. There were tons of people performing on the street and of course lots of lights.

This one was Emily's favorite: "Big shoe". That IS pretty cool!

Now we're getting ready for Easter. For the last two years I have not eaten chocolate. I was really sad that I wouldn't be able to eat Mini Eggs for Easter. But guess what??? They now make WHITE CHOCOLATE mini eggs. You have no idea how happy this makes me. My Easter is complete!

This is the Life!

On Saturday, March 29 we took Emily to a farm. She loved looking at all the animals. She could have spent the whole day there!

She liked looking at the peacocks, but was too afraid to get close to them.

She loved following the roosters and hens around. She is FAST!

I think her favorite part was feeding the animals.

I had to get a picture of the cow's awesome toy...do you see the pink soccer ball??

If I had a horse, it would look like this one. Seriously.

Emily's first time visiting the farm was a success!

A few days later our friend gave us their piano for free. I keep telling her that she has made our house and home. It sure has brought a lot of happiness!

See, even Emily is happy!

On April 2 we had our 4 year anniversary. We love each other very much...although I'm not sure if Greg loves me more or the piano...j/k. We had a great meal at home, went to see 'Les Mis', and watched our wedding movies. I'm one lucky woman to be married to such a great guy!

On April 3 we went to our friend's going away party. Taylor has been in our ward since she got baptized and is everyone's favorite. We typically get her as a babysitter. We will really miss her now that she is serving a mission.

On Saturday, April 5 our friends from Provo came to visit. Emily and Aveya warmed right up to each other. Here they are having a little tea party.

We loved having them here. Marissa and I go way back: teaching together, being roommates, running the St. George Marathon, etc. Such fun times!
