What a wonderful Easter weekend!

What a fun and busy weekend we had! We traveled down to Utah...I know, surprise, surprise...it was a much-needed and perfect weekend! Besides the fact that Isaac got off of his schedule on Friday, and hardly napped on Saturday, it was great! We started Saturday off by going and getting the hair done by the fabulous--newly engaged!--Lindsey! It was so fun to see her and do some more catching up!
Isaac was great at the salon, especially when everyone came and oohed and ahhed at him.
Then it was up to Lehi to celebrate my sister-in-law's birthday and my nephew's one year birthday. Here's the CAKE my sister-in-law Kim made...she is amazing.
After the party, I did some retail therapy--it was GREAT. I ended my errands by going to Costco...can I just say, I LOVE Costco. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. We are supposed to be getting one in Pocatello this fall, I am very excited.


After my shopping trip, we headed to dinner with some of the family to Goodwood. YUM.
Isaac tried his first lemon...sour!
Then came Easter Sunday!! Isaac is definitely too young to do any sort of easter basket or easter hunt, but we definitely got him an Easter outfit. Me and my precious little boy...

I don't know how this came about, but for some reason there was a "Utah Jazz" headband laying around, and somehow it ended up on Isaac. It was so cute. (Taylor's family is a HUGE Jazz fan!)
Isaac and Grandma...
Our adorable, happy boy!
So, before everyone came over for dinner, Taylor decided to take a "cat nap" so he wouldn't tired for our drive home. Well, Theran (Taylor's oldest brother) decided he needed an obnoxious way to wake him up...so KIM (Theran's wife) suggested banging a pan with a metal spoon. Theran said, "Yep, that'll work!" So I had to capture the picture....Taylor jumped about a foot, it was so funny! Sorry babe...
I really wanted to get a lot of pictures of Isaac and his cousins! This is Isaac and the next oldest grandchild--Little Theran! Isaac kept trying to grab his hand while Theran would look at him like "Who are you and what are you doing?!" It was so funny!


My sister-in-law Kim and I. Her finger was covering the flash....but I still like this picture. She is the one who made the monkey cake!
While the older grandkids/boys were hiding the easter eggs, my nieces and nephew decided to sit under the table so they wouldn't see where the eggs were hidden. It was so cute.

All the grandkids on the Housley side!


Morgan held Isaac...(If you couldn't tell, I was really keen on taking pictures of Isaac with his cousins!)

Our special guest of the evening: my cousin (heehee) Sara McConkie! She came and had easter dinner with us! I'm so glad she came!!
And as we were getting ready to drive home, Brooke and Dane were so sweet by giving Isaac kisses goodbye!! It was SO cute!! It was really funny, and then Dane, with a hand wide open, plopped it right in the middle of Isaac's face, poor Isaac is not quite used to or big enough to handle the playful actions of others, that he started crying. But I love these pictures, they are priceless, and a great memory!

We had SUCH a GOOD weekend!!! I am so glad we went down to Utah; however, there is always so many people to see and things to do that we never get to do it all. But it was wonderful to be surrounded by family as we celebrated the precious life of Jesus Christ on Easter. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful, awesome, and great family to be married into. I love them all dearly!!!

Hey!! K now we are blogging buddies! I really havent seen you in so long! But I have TONS of pics of us at girls camp. I remember that I didnt really like the people I came with, and so I kind of ran away to your tent for the weekend! haha.
I always wondered why I had so many pictures with the monument girls at camp!

What high school did you go to?? I was remembering Liberty, or Pine Creek? Dunno.
Anyways, your boy is beautiful! We really should meet up and do lunch or something! I dont have many CO friends out here!

(oh yeah...I married a CO boy! Met him here, but he is from Highlands Ranch by Denver)
