Awesome Concert!

Last night I finally got to enjoy my Mother's Day gift. We went to the No Doubt concert and it was one of the best I've been to, not only was No Doubt ther but so was Paramore! Everyone went crazy and it was just amazing! Dana was worried about getting in a mosh pit, but luckily that didn't happen, however we had floor tickets so it was pretty crowded and you get into the whole jumping, & clapping and all that jazz. Overall, we had a great time and Gwen was amazing, she also had her son Kingston come out on stage and since it was his birthday we all sang 'Happy Birthday' it was so cute!

having fun!
Gwen!!!

And of course pics of Kailani & she looks so cute in blue!!!

Thank God!

Spring is finally here!!! We've had upper 70 degree weather lately and it's wonderful!!!

Anywho...Lately I've had a lot of random things come up, I feel like I'm always busy! This weekend we had a birthday party for my niece & nephew while the kids had fun with their games we decided to have a friendly boy vs girl tug of war, it was really fun and unfortunately the boys won.

Anyway it was also fun to see my cousin Raymond, he's a truck driver and had a load up in Salt lake so he was able to spend time with us here in Logan. The funny thing is he just turned 23 and he totally made me realize how I've grown up in the past year, one of the things that he said to me that stood out was "Wow, you're not the same Cindy I know" I think at first it was hard to admit and it kinda bugged me, but when I thought about it, he's totally right I don't drink, I don't party and I go to church , and I have a family to worry about so how could I be the same person? As I thought about all of these things it hit home hard I love the way my life has changed in the past year and I wouldn't change that for anything in the world.

Dana and I just had our 1 year anniversary on Sunday and I can't say how happy I am to have married such a great person and I hope for a lifetime of eternal happiness with our beautiful daughter.

On a side note, I also set a date for baptism, June 13th! I'm really excited for everything and I'm glad that God has given me the anwers to the questions I've had. At first it was a little scary to explain it to my mom, but she reasurred me that as long as I'm happy and believe in God that she supports my decision and I'm so very thankful for that blessing....Anyway, if you have a chance it will be at the Tabernacle at 630.

Oh I also wanted to share that I finally got a stroller! We were going to spend $80 but we got a great deal on one for $28!!!! I was so excited that we can finally go on walks!

now that Jr see's us feeding the babies he loves to pretend he's feeding his..:)

Weekend fun?

First of all, let me begin by saying thank goodness we got through this weekend!

On saturday, we hung out with Dana's brother Chuck all day for beginners they both went out in the morning to get some concert tickets for Nicole to see AI in concert, well when they got home little did I know my husband bought me No Doubt concert tickets, which has turned into my Mother's Day & Anniversary Day present! I'm so excited to see them in concert they are one of my all time favorite bands....

Anyway so saturday was all fun and games until we decided to take the dogs out to the park and run around. So we drove over to first dam hoping it wouldn't be too full, but as we drove by there were tons of people and a no dogs allowed sign! So Chuck is driving his huge truck with Lexi & Meaty in the back, when all of a sudden Chuck yells out MEATY! Meaty had decided to jump out of the truck watch us leave and make her way to the park! I guess she figured that was her stop! lol Luckily no one ran over her and we were able to see her off the side of the road and pick her back up and put her inside the truck. So we continue driving with Lexi still in the back, and I'm holding her leash just in case she decides to jump out, well 5 min later we are driving to Von's park and we hear something hit the truck! All of a sudden we turn around Lexi's gone I'm still holding her leash and I let go and we feel us going over her body!!! OMG It was the worse feeling in the world, to think we had just killed our own dog! So we stopped and Dana could get out of the truck to see her laying on the floor so I jump out of the truck and see her laying there with her legs under Chucks big tires and luckily when he pulled forward she got right up and just had some scratches and cuts on her legs but nothing major, thank God nothing happened to her and she's still alive and runs around as if nothing ever happened!

Anyway so after our scare on Saturday, Sunday was Mother's Day and I'll make this fast because Kailani is having a fit! It started off ok, Dana didn't say Happy mothers day until 3hrs after I had woken up, we went to my mom's church which was having a bbq at the park. Dana kept bugging to leave, so that he could come home and I can help him garden! I think that should explain it all I was really bugging about him wanting to work on Mother's Day and do what he wanted to do! So I left him and went to my parents house and spent the rest of the day with them so overall Sunday way just that just another Sunday!

some thoughts...

Lately I feel like I've had so much going on. We've had the missionaries over at least twice a week, I've had to help my dad with restaurant stuff and in between I've had to take care of the baby and taking care of house stuff and bills.

Overall, the experiences and lessons with the missionaries have all been positive, I love that we're going to church and that Dana and my relationship is so much better. I always said that if we got into it that I wouldn't have a problem with going to church, but now I'm having a tough time with transitioning from my church that I grew up in and the LDS church. I guess a lot that they have taught me has really been a refresher, I love that many of the teachings are what I already know. So the missionaries asked me if I would be willing to be baptized this next weekend, I had said yes because I felt a little pressured, but I thought about it and prayed about it and I don't think I am ready solely because I still believe in my own church and it's hard for me to let go of that & believe in a new religion that was founded by Joseph Smith. But at the same time I really want my family to work and we all know it doesn't work if we go to two different churches, and I'm totally willing to do anything for our little family....
Anyway just pray that I make the decision in due time!

For now here are some pictures of Kailani of course, she totally smiles all the time now and her personality is really coming out!

It's Spring

Spring is here! Hopefully... this whole weekend we finally warmed up and the weather was amazing, I just had to be outside to enjoy the weather, so me & Dana went for a drive & also went to the park! It was really fun, we ended up taking Roxy our bulldog with us & she loved running around & jumping in the water. We were so surprised that she was ok with running up this huge hill, I thought she was gonna die since she's a little on the chunky side, but I think she's more muscle now! Anyway I also got some cute pics of Kailani, she finally started smiling all the time & cooing, its so cute! Anyway here are some pics... I couldn't decide which to post so I went a little overboard....sorry

Easter

So this year Easter was a little different only because I'm used to going to church & usually there is some sort of play going on, but since we are now trying to get back into the LDS chuch it was sorta different since there was no play but there was a lesson in Sunday school about the ressurrection of Christ which was really good. I'm really glad that Dana is taking this seriously & that I am getting to learn a lot more of what I already believe in a church that we can both agree on. I've got to admit I've never really had an opened mind about the Church so it's been hard for us to go to church in the past, but because I am opening up now I realize that we have many of the same beliefs and I'm glad that we made the decision to start going.

Anyway after church we got ready to go over to my parents house for dinner & when we got there dinner was not ready :( I was so hungry since I hadn't eaten all day, but I guess it gave us time to take some easter pics. Overall, we had a great Sunday & dinner -- eventually!
