Birthday Bunch

Carter's favorite presents: 
Life was a present from my parents. He also got a Chick Fil A lunch on his birthday.

At a service auction I attended, I won a free cake. So a friend made this amazing cake for Carter's birthday, and I enjoyed not making a cake!
Matt got me those flowers for my birthday.

I was completely humbled by the fact that some good friends decided to throw me a surprise luncheon for my birthday this year and invited quite a few friends! Who throws a party for #34? It was so generous and kind and meant so much to me more so for the fact that I knew my time as Primary president was drawing to a close. I felt that the party was more about thanking me for all that I have done for their children for the last 3 years. I was so touched. It made for the best birthday in conjunction with all the other well-wishes from family and friends. 

We spent Matt's birthday watching General Conference and all of us took turns giving him back scratches throughout the day, which are his favorite. :)

March Activities


I went to my first painting class with these gals. It was a lot of fun! (And frustrating)

Celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday
(It's a pet peeve of mine that so many people spell Seuss wrong.)

We went to the zoo with some preschool friends!

Austin and Novalee hugs

Austin at the park but I took this picture to record Austin's obsession with carrying around soap. He doesn't try to eat it, but just likes to hold it all the time! The black object is a remote control which is another "toy" that makes him very happy.

Birthday lunch with my sisters (minus Lindsey). Three of us have a birthday in March.

Over Spring Break, we took a day trip to Brazos Bend State Park, where you can see alligators and other pond wildlife. We saw 3 alligators, and got quite close to 1 of them. Along the hiking trail, we came across a coral snake (yikes!) and a rabbit. Overall, my boys voted it wasn't that fun.
Austin's grumpy face is due to the person behind the camera--his Aunt Kari whom he hasn't taken a liking to!

Caleb received his Bear on March 30

All 4 boys loving on Austin
