We are working on finishing our basement.  Jeff and my dad have worked hard on the framing.

My mom and dad got to come visit a couple weeks ago.  This is Banks with Grandpa Maruji.

My boys all ready for church!

Banks and Daddy going for a ride in our neighbors razor.

This was our Easter dinner:  Tacos El Pastor with Brazilian Blackbeans and rice.  I decided I didnt want to do a "traditional" ham Easter dinner so this is what I came up with.

"The boys" gathered together to go see Fast and Furious 7.  Ha ha ha!

Banks loves to drive 4wheelers!  At our friend Justin's cabin.

For mothers day this year my sisters, mom and I all met in Las Vegas for a fun lil girl's weekend.  We rented a condo and went shopping, went to the Temple, ran a 10k race, and went to the Cirque De Soiel Mystere show.   We had so much fun!!  We had great weather and how fun it was to be with all the girls in my family.

 Jana and I about to cross the finish line of our 10k race.  Everyone did soo good!  Jana, Emily, Alicia, and my mom were awesome!

Em and I after the race.  She did SO good!!

Banks and I cant wait for our strawberries to ripen!  They're getting closer!  We just finished planting our garden.  We're so excited!!

I just had to share this pic of my 'Wine and Roses' bush.  I think its beautiful!

He makes me happy!  :)

Just some more baking...

Something else kind of exciting: Banks was featured in the Utah Valley Magazine Cutest Cuties Contest (Winners I guess?).  To see him in the magazine check out: (page 101) http://utahvalley360.com/uv/mayjune15/index.html

We got to go to the Payson Temple Open house with my mom.  What a beautiful temple!  It was a great experience.  Banks was so excited to get to go inside.  This was a picture after in the visitor center .
