Visit to Illinois!

During our 9 day break we decided to go to Illinois for a visit and even though it was a long drive we had a real nice visit! Laura was visiting at home at the same time so that was an extra bonus!

We went through a few things making sure we had anything we wanted from my parents house and we found a puzzle of our family that our aunt had given us so that was pretty fun to put together. Kyle and Laura enjoyed going through my parents books. In the bottom middle picture it looks like Laura had some inspiration from the book she was looking through. In the top picture Kyle is singing to me while Laura plays the piano.
Moline, IL is the head quarters of John Deere and so they have a nice place where you can go and see the combines and get inside them so we had a lot of fun checking our their equipment.

Kyle really wanted to go check out the John Deere Golf Course and so we went there and he really enjoyed that.


While we were there we also went down to Nauvoo which was real nice. We had a real nice time visiting with Laura and my parents and I also go to see a few old friends so thanks Kyle for driving me all the way out there!

Our Easter






I'm not sure what Bunnies and Eggs have to do with Easter but I guess fun family traditions come from it so that is a good thing. My mom was always really good at hiding our Easter Baskets and she still is! It took all three of us a long time and had to get hints to find our baskets!

The Big 21!

Kyle being the sweet husband that he is, couldn't resist getting me a few gifts for my birthday. The shirts were from Kyle's grandma and the shirt from my last post was from Kyle's parents. Kyle did a great job picking out things that I liked but the best gift he gave me was breakfast in bed! ( and he was sick but still got up to do that for me because he wanted my day to be great) We had a nice day together and went out to dinner, then my good friend Ashley came over to visit and then in the comfort of our own home watched the movie Hitch together. Thanks Kyle to making my 21st birthday great!

Birthday Celebration

Rosanne was up in Idaho Falls last weekend and Kyle and I went down there so we could celebrate our birthdays together with Kevin and his family. We had a lot of fun. Hopefully next time Laura can be there so we can all celebrate our birthdays together!


(Thanks Becky for making our cake!)

A weekend with Kyle's Family

Two weekends ago Kyle's family came over to Idaho Falls to send off a nephew/cousin on his mission and for Kelsey to check out housing at BYUI so we got to spend some time with them and had a really nice time! In this picture we are playing the game Wise or Otherwise.
