Easter Weekend!

We had a great Easter weekend. We packed in as much as we could and we loved every minute! We headed over to Pocatello on Thursday to visit Adam's sister, Whitney and our long lost buddies, The Cahoon's! We hadn't seen the Cahoon's since Brett graduated from law school two Decembers ago.

On Friday we woke up super early and drove down to SLC for a wedding. Our good friend, Brandon was getting married. Whitney came with us and watched Little Evie for us. What a blessing Whitney was for me!

Evie loved climbing all of stairs and playing around. We couldn't get her out of this little cubby!

My sweeties!

This is Brandon and his lovely wife, Michelle. We're so excited for them! Yes...that is snow in the background. It snowed the whole time we were there.

Brandon and his two buddies, Shawn & Adam. It turns out that they all matched...and not even on purpose!

After the wedding we headed over to the new City Center Mall across from the temple. It was a pretty amazing place. They had tons of fountains. We couldn't keep Evie away...even though it was freezing cold and snowing! How can you resist a face like that?!

Loving the water!

I love this kid!

We went to the luncheon next and then headed back to Pocatello that afternoon.

On Saturday the law firm where Brett works was hosting an Easter Egg hunt for the kids. We went and were surprised by how much Evie liked finding the eggs.

She got quite a few...and then she found the rocks and they trumped the eggs!

Here is Noah, Finn, and Evie checking out their loot!

I was also surprised by how much Evie liked the Easter Bunny. She kept petting his face!

The Cute Cahoon Family!

We went and played a few rounds of rook that afternoon and then headed back home. Thanks Cahoon's for the fun weekend! We sure miss you guys!

We went to church with Adam's family on Easter because Adam's dad was speaking. He did a great job. We headed home after church and had a delicious lunch and then let Evie do some more egg hunting.

Her cousin Madeline did a great job of hiding them and then helping Evie out!

Some good ole Daddy play time!

Her dress was a nice sun shade!

Here are the cute little cousins.

What a great Easter. I'm grateful for the resurrection of our Savior!

The Bar and Saying Goodbye

This post is late in coming, but better late than never I suppose! We headed down to Boise at the end of February for Adam to take the Bar Exam. What a beast of a test.

We have a little tradition of stopping in Riggins for Evie to run around and play. She loves it, especially when Adam chases her!

This is the "I'm ready for you to get me, Daddy" look!

This lovely shot is of Adam after finishing the grueling exam. His hair was sticking straight up in the front. Thank goodness he's done with that. We get the results back in a week and half. Here's to hoping!!

We went and visited my parents right after the exam and then headed home. We had a week to get packed up and moved out. This was our last Sunday in Moscow. These girls are some of Evie's biggest fans. I miss having them in RS to help me wrangle Evie!

Here is the Bishopric. I sure like all of these people. The Johnson's became really good friends of ours and we we're sad to say goodbye to them. They became our Saturday Night Card buddies! Bishop and Sister Kellogg we're great to work with too!

Bishop Kellogg certainly gets bonus points for putting up with these two!

It was fun having friends that I really connect with! I will miss Moscow for that reason. I made a lot of really good friends.

I can't believe we are gone and it's been about a month. Time goes pretty fast. I feel bad that I didn't get to say goodbye to lots of people. We left a day sooner that we were expecting, but hopefully you'll all come visit us in Boise!

Craft Mania

I've been in a hurry to finish all of my projects before we move next week. I think I have everything finished and I'm very excited about them all!

I started knitting this Little Red Riding Hood cape for Evie for Halloween LAST year. Needless to say, she wasn't Little Red. I finally got it done and it only took 6 months. Knitting takes a long time!

She doesn't love having the hood on, but she suffered through it for a picture. I just hope it still fits her this coming Halloween.

Here is a side view!

I guilted myself into making a quilt for the new little baby. I actually love how it turned out. Thanks Mom for doing the actual quilting!

Here is the back view. We've decided on the name Penny and there is no turning back now!

One of my friends taught me how to make tutu's! I made this one for a friend, but had to have my little model show it off! I might have to make her one now!

Adam has even gotten in on the crafting scene! He took a class on tying flies and he's pretty good at it. Here a few that he tied the other day!

Now I can focus on packing and moving!

Birthdays

We had a week of celebrating!! My dad's birthday is on December 21st, Adam's is on the 28th, and Evie's is on the 29th...not to mention Christmas and New Year's! It's always a fun time.

Here is my handsome hubby and me on his birthday. It wouldn't be Adam without a funny face.

I made him a fly fisherman cake. I was going to try to have the fisherman standing in the cake, but the pole was too skinny and kept breaking. Laying down worked just fine! My mom made the frosting. I really like how it turned out!

A pose of the blowing of the candles.

Here is the actual blowing out of the candles! Happy Birthday, Old Man!

Alona got him this tips and tricks book for his iPad. He like it lots!

The next day we got to celebrate Evie's first birthday. It was a fun day. I got her a little ballerina outfit. She was so cute in it!

I made her this little crown too. I think this first birthday was all for me!

We opened presents that morning. She hasn't quite got the hang of it!

Here she is in action!

Grandma & Grandpa Warr were skyping with us. I'm glad that they could be part of Evie's special day.

Playing with toys and eating treats!

Mom and Dad had to help get the presents out.

That evening we had cake for Evie. We tried to get a picture of Evie with her cake before the festivities!

The proud mama!

She was really unsure about the whole thing. It wasn't the most exciting cake eating that I've ever seen, but fun non the less!

Here is a video of the cake eating. It is kinda long, so watch if you want. I think its adorable, but I'm a little biased!

I did most of the damage to the cake trying to lure her in!

It was a really fun day...until that night. We put Evie to bed and I went in to check on her a while later and she had thrown-up in bed. (It wasn't from the cake...she only had one lick of frosting!) We got her all cleaned up, and she puked on me...and then spent the rest of the night throwing up. Poor little thing. She was sick for the next few days. We decided to come home on Sunday so we could get her to the doctor on Monday, but she was all better by then...thank goodness. So sad that she got really sick for the first time on her first birthday.

I had to add this picture because it was one of Dad's birthday presents from Alona and I didn't get any pictures of his actual birthday. It was BYU cougar pasta salad. We ate it the day BYU played their bowl game. I'm sure glad they won for my Dad's sake!

This wasn't anyone birthday, but I just like my sister and I didn't really have any pictures of her in this post. My brother gave her that hat for Christmas!
