one great weekend...

We just had a great weekend. Some highlights have been:
  • two words, Royal wedding!
The Royal Wedding Couple
I DVR'd it on Thursday night so as to not miss a minute of it! :) I watched it with some friends on Friday afternoon while we had a play date with our boys. I may or may not have watched a few more times on my own throughout the weekend. Ben asked me last night if he could delete it and reluctantly I said yes. I had my fill. But I loved the ceremony. I loved what the Bishop had to say. My favorite part was when he said in a way all weddings are royal because when we marry we become kings and queens of creation. I loved how he truly made marriage out to be noble and an honor. I also loved her dress-she was stunning! And Prince William is so dreamy! I've had a crush on him since I was about 15. :) It was fun to get caught up in this fairy tale this weekend.
  • My mom is here visiting. She is watching my nephew while my bro and sis-in-law are in Vegas looking for a house! They are moving, so it is bittersweet; but we are so excited for Nathan to start school! They will be missed! But it is fun having my mom here. We played and had Pizza on Saturday night with her and Carter;
  • Right after Ben & Tucker got home from here:




Saturday afternoon Tucker & Ben went to the circus! Tucker had so much fun! His favorite part was, of course, the cotton candy! :) ha ha. He loved the animals, but when Ben asked him if he wanted to ride an elephant, he did NOT want to! :) I am actually surprised that Ben was able to take this picture of the clown, he is deathly scared of clowns! :) They had some fun boy time.
  • My mom & the sister missionaries came over for dinner on Sunday so Tucker & I went into our backyard and picked our first bouquet of flowers from our garden.
This was great for two reasons: first, it means that the weather is finally getting warm enough for the flowers to come out. Summer is on it's way, finally! And second, sister missionaries! I love it! There are Spanish speaking Hermanas out here in the Valley right now and I've had so much fun going out with them as much as I can these past few months. It's great to brush up on my Spanish and help out the Hermanas, I remember those days! It was a perfect Sunday afternoon having the missionaries in our home. Tuckers been wanting me to speak spanish all day today! :)
Other exciting events this weekend consisted of a hot date on Friday night with Ben that turned into an impromptu double date with our good friends, the Nelsons when we saw them driving by us. :) Dinner, Bowling and FroYo. :) Doesn't get better than that! :) I am so blessed!

that is one great weekend. i loved the royal wedding, too. what a sucker we all are for a good love story (and a pretty white dress). and your tulips are beauty-full. i'm jealous. we planted some the first fall we were here, but now only the green part comes up--no flower. how sad. anyway, we need to chat someday soon--not via blog:) love ya!

Her dress was lovely, yes. But William dreamy? Seriously? But he's got such a horse face!

Right on Kelli, doesn't help he is going bald, which I sympathize with. Taraka I never knew you had a princess fixation! Lucy is going to be exactly the same. Hope you had a nice Mother's Day!
