Another Blog I LOVE!!

Ok so I blogged about the Love Actually blog here's another one that I absolutely love.  These chicks have definitely got some great ideas for dating the hubs.  Here's the link Dating Divas I hope you ENJOY it as much as I do!

Take Me Out To The Ball Game

I can't believe it...Bentley is old enough to play T-ball this year!!! He had his first game last Saturday followed by a baseball parade.  He loves playing and has such a kind and patient coach.  He is playing in Mapleton this year because he's still to young to play in Spanish Fork.  It's so cute to watch them play.  When a kid hits the ball the whole team runs after the ball.  A lot of the kids also run the wrong way around the bases. It's absolutely hilarious to watch. I love that Bentley is getting old enough to do these kind of activities.  It's so fun to watch him learn and progress.  Being a mom is the greatest!!

Easter...In May

It's official I'm a blog slacker!!!  Here is Easter finally.  Easter in May, only a month off.

We had a great Easter!!  We kicked off Easter this year with the Easter Egg Hunt in good ole' Goshen.  Brian absolutely hates that I insist on going out there every year but I hate to tell ya honey, it's a tradition and will be until we move far enough away we can't drive there that morning.  On with the story.  We hunted for eggs in absolutely frigid weather.  Why is it that it always has to be FREEZING on Easter?  Bentley loved hunting the Easter Eggs.  After we hung out with my fam for a little bit.

The Easter Egg Hunt-The kids were freezing-Bentley with my adorable niece and nephew, I could adopt those kids!

 On Easter morning Bentley snuck downstairs before we had got out of bed.  I ran down after him so he wouldn't get his basket before we were awake.  When I got downstairs he was looking at Brian's basket with the saddest look on his face.  He said, "The Easter Bunny forgot to come."  If he had looked his basket was right behind him.

The Easter Bunny decided to send Bentley and I on a little scavenger hunt to find our things.  Bentley's ended up under the stairs and it was a new bike!!!  He was so excited!

The New Bike

 
I almost forgot the best, worst, most interesting part of Easter.  We went to Randall and Vicki's (the in-laws) house for family night later that night and Vicki sent us on a Easter Egg hunt all over town.  The hunt led back to her house in the downstairs family room.  What did the little kiddies find there?  Baby chicks, ducks, and turkeys.  Yes, you heard right.  My father-in-law went out and bought each of the kids their own baby chick and each family a baby turkey.  He also bought two baby ducks.  The kids were SO excited, the mom's on the other hand, not so much.  Randall was laughing the whole time.  So NOT funny!!! Overall we had a great Easter!

Where has the time gone?!

Wow, it's been over a month since I blogged last.  The month of April has FLOWN by.  April consisted of a nice week of spring break, many late nights, swimming lessons for me, and a lot of running. 
Spring break we didn't do much except get the house clean and get all caught up on doctor and dentist appointments and other than that just get some much needed R&R time.  All of the late nights were Brian's fault!! He had many big tests, assignments, and being on-call with a gastrointestinal doctor.  He loved going with the doctor except for the colonoscopies.  Those pretty much made him decide he wouldn't be that kind of doctor.  He just finished up all of his finals, no his next big project his applying to Med School!!! Yeah!! I'm so proud of all of the hard work he's put in to finally get to this point.  It's been a looooong road.  Hopefully he'll get in his first try, but if not he'll try again the next year.
Yes, I was in swimming lessons.  I took 4 weeks of swimming lessons from the top triathlete in Utah.  He was awesome!!!  I'm training for my first triathlon which will be at the end of June and also the Utah Valley Half Marathon at the beginning of June.  What a great way to kick off the summer!!
Bentley is growing like a weed.  I can't believe how big he is.  He absolutely loves preschool and is extremely excited for kindergarten.  I can't believe I registered my baby for kindergarten.  I honestly almost started to cry.  I'm excited that he'll be at the school with me everyday.  He's so glad that it's getting warm outside.  He could spend hours outside just making up his own games and riding his new bike that he got from the Easter Bunny.  I'll blog those pictures soon.

Winter Fun!

A few weekends ago we went up to Soldier Hollow to go tubing.  It was a blast!!!  Since we're not skiers, however I would like to be, we thought this would be a fun way to enjoy being outdoors in the winter.  Bentley loved it!!

What?! I'm...25?!!

Yes everyone it's official I am 25! Scary!!  Ok so I've been 25 for a few weeks now but I'm still having a hard time with it.  You know the early 20's still sound young, but 26, 27...30 YIKES!!!  It seems like these last few years have gone by in a flash, way to fast. 
Dear Life,
Please slow down!! Or even better you could just pause here for a while.
Love,
Apryl
Seriously though, I am freaked about being 25 but I had an amazing birthday!
I have the sweetest most thoughtful husband in the world!  On my birthday he came to my class and brought me in daisies (my favorite!) and diet pepsi (also a favorite).  Along with that he brought me in balloons, to give to the boys in my class and 2 dozen roses, a rose for each girl in my class.   A little later a parent came in and brought cupcakes for my class and a mini cake for me and a gift card. How sweet is that? No, that's not the end, then my sister showed up and brought me roses. 
Pretty awesome birthday huh?  That's not the end.  It's a tradition to go out to dinner with our group of friends for my birthday and I knew we were going to do that the next night.  Brian said we were going to go to Daltons for dinner on my birthday so that's what I was planning on.  Well he changed his mind and decided he'd cook me dinner, so we went to Macy's to get the things we need for dinner. 
When I walked in from Macy's I turned on the lights in my house and heard SURPRISE!!! I screamed. It was all of my family and friends there and my whole dining/living room area was decorated!!  Brian had arranged all of it!!  I'm pretty sure the decorating was Dayana's deal and Zac made a cake, all of it was pink!  We ended up going to Texas Roadhouse Grill for dinner where I had to sit on the dreaded saddle (that's why Brian took me there).  What a great way to celebrate my 25th birthday!!  I have great friends and family!!!
