March Madness

And no...I am not talking about basketball. However, Alex does have his bracket all set up and is tracking the games.

So in past years, I don't really recall March being such a hectic month.

But this year, just about every weekend was full!

I must say though, it's all been fun stuff.

So let's see....

First of all, babies are booming right now.

5 Ladies at church are having babies in the march to may months.

Not to mention 2 other are pregnant, I believe.

Usually when babies are born it calls for showers too.

So there's been a few of those.

Then there's my sister-in-law, Meghann, who's getting married this next Saturday the 28th.

So my mom and I threw her a bridal shower.

Then this last Saturday we had a family reunion. It was a blast!

Terra and I spent a lot of time together working on the centerpieces, which started as an easy idea, but ended up being a little bit more work. Thank goodness we had some cousins to help finish putting them together.

On Friday, since I am so blessed to have that day off, I went over to my parents house where my cousins Harmony and Tiffany were staying with their babies Skye, Kaden, and Madison.

We had too much fun. We met Terra at Panera Bread, and then walked around Sierra Vista Mall. There were just too many fun moments, I wouldn't even know where to start.

They have the cutest kids. Skye, 14 months, is just so cute and petite, and walks really fast for her young age. Then Kaden, 2 years, is just full of energy, I only saw him slow down maybe twice all weekend long. Then Madison, 15 months, is a little chatter box, and likes to share her loud squeals.

So we had a blast just hanging out and trying to keep up with the kids. I think they all enjoyed their first trampoline experience too. Good thing their daddy's didn't try to let them actually touch the sky...haha, right.

I am just so grateful for all the wonderful family we have. Being in a large room filled with such wonderful people just overwhelmed me with gratitude. I am glad my grandma had lots of kids, and the aunts and uncles who gave me great cousins! We missed our missionary boys, Tyson and Justin, but it was so great to have most of my dads side of the family present.

Oh, and I must note...my dad smoked the best tri tip and chicken anyone has ever eaten!

After being wrapped up in all the fun, I only managed to get a few photos.

So I look forward to stealing pictures from family thats posts stuff, or emails copies to people.

And now we just have 1 week left until the march madness is really over. So I will probably post some pictures after Meghann and Emy's wedding.

So this picture is at Meghann's shower, I had emailed Emy and asked him some questions about the both of them. Then at the shower we had her answer them and see how close their answers were. Either they talked before, or they just know everything about eachother because she did a real good job answering everything pretty much right.

These are some pretty flowers my mom bought for the shower. We are in LOVE with daisies! And her colors are red and yellow (with black and white).

This next one is not a great picture of me, but it was a good shot of Maddy. I am sad that I only managed to get one picture of my cousins kids, and I didn't even get one with my cousins... oops.
I guess that means we will have to get together again soon.


This is Wendy...she did a little bit of videography for us.

And here's a picture of Alex and I. Once I get the whole family shot from the family member who took all the pictures then I will post that one.

What a great weekend it was! I look forward to many more family events and reunions.

My grandma, of course, thinks we should do this more often....like something next year for her 85th Birthday. We told her she has to make it to her 90th though, if not, she insists that we have a party anyways.
