Happy Easter!!

I feel like I need to catch up on all that has been happening lately so here it goes:

Brandon planned a secret date for me on my birthday and I could not stand not knowing what was happening!! Well we dropped Valerie off with his mom and drove down to provo. He took me to dinner at an awesome mexican food resturant in provo and then just down the street to see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolored Dreamcoat!!! I have never seen it before, but I have the CD and am obsessed with it. I make Brandon listen to it everytime we are on a road trip!! I LOVED it! You should have seen the perma grin I had when I found out that is what we were doing! It was the best birthday surprise ever!!

For Easter yesterday we went to stake conference where we were lucky enough to have Boyd K Packer speak to us...it was awesome!! Then we went to my parents house and ate dinner and hung out with a bunch of my family that I rarely get to see anymore. Then we did the same at Brandon's parents house. I am happy to announce that I took a pair of sissors to Valeries hair for the first time ever yesterday!! I didn't cut the whole thing like I want to, just the bangs (they were starting to poke her in the eyes!) She also was introduced to her first vegetable yesterday which was a sweet potato. What a fun filled day she had yesterday!!

So I am posting pictures of my birthday and Easter and also a bunch of random fun pictures that we have taken lately. I have labeled them all accordingly.

This is us all dressed up for my birthday date

See the perma grin?!?!

This little girl was in the childrens Choir and I thought she was the cutest thing ever!!
