So I know that I have been the worst slacker ever when it comes to blogging lately, and i have been trying to figure out why I haven't been able to find the time to blog. Well it seems that I have taken to another addiction: Couponing!! I know this is usually when people post pictures on their blogs of all of their amazing deals and free stuff, but I will spare you! Let's just say that I am becoming addicted to getting fantastic deals and I don't really think that this is a bad thing. But I guess it is finally time for me to play catch up and document some of the things that have been going on around our house.
We had an awesome Easter Vacation with my family in Las Vegas. Everyone was there, except Blair, and we had the best time. We did a lot of swimming and my kids loved it. Tag seriously jumped in the pool and swam this little route like 50 times. He is getting really good at swimming and this was the first time of the season and he loved every minute of it! Don't you just love Maddie's fro!!
We had some fun on the strip and did some shopping and basically just hung out and talked. Here we are being silly on the Strip.


We watched the fountains at Bellagio and Maddie loved them and Tag was a little scared of them. We also went and saw the gardens at Bellagio and they were so beautiful.
We went to church on Easter Sunday and these are the best shots we could get of us. My kids don't really like to pose for pics!

Here are the kids gearing up for yet another hunt.
Here are the boys and girls in their outfits from Nana and Poppy for Easter. Taggart loved sitting with Boston and he said that he wanted a brother just like Boston! Soo cute, I know!
It was an awesome, quick vacation and it was so much fun to spend time with my family. Taggart and Maddie has so much fun playing with their cousins, aunts, uncles, and Nana and Poppy!
We celebrated Mother's Day and I am just so happy that I am blessed to be a Mom to such wonderful children. And I am also so blessed to have such a great Mom and Mother in Law. It was a pretty regular day, but the kids did give me frames that they had painted with their pictures in it from the Primary activity. They are sooooo cute and pretty much the best gift ever!
Last Wednesday night Cam and I celebrated our 9 year Anniversary. I can't believe it was nine years ago that we got married... we are getting so old! We celebrated with a nice dinner and some ice cream pretty relaxed and laid back, which is what we both needed! It has been a wonderful nine years and I am excited for MANY more!
Last week was Taggart's Preschool Graduation Program. This was his first year at Preschool and he has loved it and so have I! He has learned so much and he showed us a few of the things that he has learned. They sang several songs and did sign language and he even showed off his Karate moves.


He loved his teacher, Mrs. Tracy, and talks about her all the time! We are both going to miss Preschool this summer!

Maddie is still her regular old self! I wish I could say that she has gotten better since the last post, but she hasn't. The other day she cut up a $10 bill with scissors and the next day she got into my fingernail polish and painted both of her feet and legs. Luckily it just got on my tile and I was able to get it off. She is totally a typical 2 year old and is becoming quite sassy, but she is still so cute and really sweet at times. She is mad that I am taking her picture and she is yelling at me; I had to put it on here to give you just a little taste of her attitude, notice that she has makeup all over her too!!
Well I am sorry for such a long post and I will try to not get so far behind next time!
