~YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE...

This is what you get when your mommy works for a dermatologist: hat, shade and sunscreen:)

At the park- Main street- St. George

Justin and Gizmo running from the water.

As the song goes~ These are the people who make me happy when skies are gray. We have so much fun together and have made the most of our time while Justin is home. My life could not be any more perfect. I can't believe I have been so lucky as to have Torrance as my daughter and Justin as my husband.
St. George has also been perfect lately...we have to enjoy it before it gets too HOT!!!

EASTER IN MOAB~

Our Easter weekend was full of fun and family while we went Jeepin in Moab! We had a great time there and were lucky that Justin's parents had two jeeps! Justin and Brandon rode in the TJ AKA "The Flame Jeep" while us girls and Justin's Mom and Dad rode in the Rubicon (we figured we would be safer with them anyway:)... Torrance was such a trooper. She went everywhere with us and was in her car seat for almost the whole trip. The most exciting part of our whole trip was Sunday. That was the day we were going home...but not until ONE LAST RIDE. For this ride we decided to go on the trail:METAL MASHER. Well lets just say we made it about half way and then had a few rough rocks to conquer. As Justin tried to drive the jeep up a steep rock mutilple times with out making it he decided "one more time". As he went up we heard a pop. He back down and yes he broke the axle. Long story short..it was on a mountain top for 1 1/2 days while he and his dad found an axle and all the tools needed to fix it! While the rest of us drove home in the dodge so we could make it back to work the following days. Oh and one last thing... the other jeep did not make it unharmed. As we all piled in it to finish the trail it blew a seal and was leaking from the back end. YA...always one last ride but as they all said it aint fun til something gets broke:)

The Wedding Extravaganza..

Showin our Crazy Side~

THE HAPPY COUPLE...

THE WEDDING PARTY INTRO:)

THE BEAUTIFUL BRIDE AND HER LADIES.

THE REHEARSAL DINNER

THE PRE-WEDDING BASH!

I now pronounce you Tiffany and Jesse Lacasse...We had such a great time at our friends wedding. Everything was so put together and turned out so beautiful. I am sure they couldn't have asked for more. It was a weekend full of fun...from the pre-bash at the bride and groom to be's house, then the rehersal dinner where we all just relaxed. When the wedding day came I was surprised at how calm Tiffany was! I tried to be there for her in any way possible so what did I do you ask??? I used my oh so talented abilities and made bows for some of the decorations (really I am not such a crafty one but it turned out ok). The ceremony was beautiful but a little chilli, espcieally since it wanted to rain at any second and I think sprinkled down on us just a little bit!! Once th ceremony was over it was picture time. We actually had a good time and I am sure it will show in the photos!! The rest of the night was just a good old time/party:) They had such an amazing idea for their sign in book where you hopped into a photobooth and got pics taken. Then you got to keep a copy and the other you put into a book and wrote a message. It was a huge hit!!

CONGRATS YOU TOO ~ MARRIED LIFE IS GREAT ~ YOU WILL LOVE HAVING THAT SPECIAL PERSON BY YOU SIDE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!!! ~MOST OF THE TIME THAT IS:)

All the fam and the Cutest Cousins EVER!!

Tori's blessing day was so special!! I didn't think the day would ever come but finally Justin surprised me and came home on March 15th. Right then I knew I had to think fast and get the whole thing planned. It all came together and everyone was able to make it with very short notice!! I only wish I could have got some announcements out! My dad blessed this special girl on March 28th. He did such a great job and said so many things that made me know that Torrance will be a smart individual with high morals. I also know that she will always know that we love her and will be there for her no matter what!! Everything was so great and I was glad that I got to spend time with both mine and Justin's family.

I was also so happy that Torrance got to meet her great grand parents for the first time. They were so cute with her and it only makes me wish that we lived closer so that they could be around each other more often!!

Everything is going so great for us right now and I just feel so blessed to have two amazing families!!! We love you all.

***Cute girls and Crafty moms!

I love to go up to Evanston because we always do something fun and crafty. This past trip my sister and Capri came to play for a day. We had plans to do all kinds of fun crafty projects like making bracelets for the girls (didn't happen)... Then I was telling Ranell how I wanted to buy Tori a tutu. She said, "those are cute but we could make our own". That's just what we did and they turned out better then half of the ones I have seen. It didn't take long at all to make them and it was so fun. Tori's turned out a little big and will fit for quite a few years but I plan on making a few more. I love them and it turn out to be a fun photo shoot prop!! Thanks Ranell for being so crafty and rubbing off on me a little!!

*Tiffany's Bridal Shower*

My friend Tiff will be getting married in two weeks. I am sure she is ready since she and Jesse have been engaged for a while:) So I knew we had to throw her a bridal shower. I was so excited to get this whole thing planed(Heather and I- The Bridesmaides got it all cooked up!). When the day came...March 7th we had such a good time. We played lots of games and had some wonderful food and decorations(Shout out to Tiff's mom-she is so great). I hope Tiff had a good time and I hope she will have many special memories of this day!!
