We had so much fun last night celebrating mine and Phoebe's birthdays. Thanks to everyone that came and had cake with us. It is so surreal to be 28, I'm getting to close to 30, its scary.
But it is very nice to have Phoebe be 1 now, she is just a delightful girl. I will have to admit this birthday was much more fun then last years, where I spent my day in a hospital bed trying to recover childbirth. Time goes by so fast it seems, so I'm sure next years birthday will be here before we know it.

So when we talk about holiday weight gain your mind instantly thinks, Christmas and Thanksgiving, ooooh yummy turkey. But what about Easter. Seriously, just look at the photo documentation of this chocolate mother load. I'm not going to even tally up the chocolate that did not make it home with us to get in the picture. The sad part is Jared and I totally said we were going to cut back this Easter on all the sweets, so much for that plan.

On Saturday night all my friends got together at my house for our annual "priesthood session" reunion.  It was so great to see everyone, Steph, Erin, Nicole, Janarae, and myself of course.  We decided to stay in and order delivery instead of trying to drag our group of babies and children to our usual spot Brick Oven.  Thank goodness Brick Oven does take out, so we had our favorite things delivered and it was so nice.  It was great to catch up with all my friends and hear their latest news.  The evening turned out to be the ultimate playdate, with seven children in total.  It was loud, crazy, toys everywhere, but so much fun.  When Jared finally showed up he told me that the house smelled like several flavors of baby poop.  Well, there was quite a bit of that going on, so we cracked a few windows and all was well.  At the end of the night our babies were cranky and ready for bed, and we all vowed to get together more often.

Here she is, our little baby girl is now three years old.  It really seems crazy how fast time can go by and how fast your babies can grow up.  Now that the "terrible twos" are over I'm wondering what being three will be all about.  One thing is for sure, she certainly has a mind of her own and wants to do everything her own way.  I feel like she is not a baby anymore, she is all little girl now.  We had a fun party last night for Chloe and it was fun having the family come over to help celebrate with us.
