Pre Easter Festivities...

While Garrett was watching players being "cradled" by their coach, Taylor and I slaved in the kitchen.

Taylor made the chocolate covered strawberries... so good! And I made some rice krispie eggs that we all decorated. Garrett was pretty creative, putting peach rings on his.
And since that wasn't enough food, we tie dyed eggs after Bradley went to bed.
We had so much fun this Easter and are so grateful to be living close to family again.

I think it's safe to say that Brad loved the pre-Easter festivities.

Easter...

Happy Easter Bradley!
This picture was taken Easter morning. Snow. Are you kidding me? At least Grandpa Day wasn't there, cuz he said it would have been perfect; just hide the white eggs on the lawn. I hope he was kidding:) Bradley would have given up once he realized the white stuff made his hands hurt.
Beside that, we had a great Easter.

The Easter Bunny made a trail of eggs to help Bradley find his basket.

We probably should have let him play with the eggs the week of because they turned out to be more of a distraction. He was so distracted he almost fell down the stairs a few times. Whoops.

He wasn't sure he should let go of the eggs to go after his basket. But once he saw the cars the Easter Bunny left he thought it was worth it. So cute.

Then, after playing with the cars for a few minuets, he grabbed the basket and started putting the eggs in it. It was the cutest thing. So for the rest of the week that was his favorite game.
Now that Bradley has mastered one holiday, he can show Calvin how it's done.

Once we decided Taylor had slept enough, we woke her up to start looking for her basket.
Don't worry Tay; I wont say how long it took you or how many clues you needed:)
Lets just say that Garrett thinks you still owe his 5 bucks.
Serves you right for taunting the Bunny the night before!

It was so much fun to be able to spend Easter with you Tay.
And if it weren't for you, we would have never gotten addicted to Glee!
We love you.

It's a BOY!

We are so excited to be having another baby boy!

Little Calvin Kawika Rose is growing healthy, strong, and measuring right on time.
The due date is July 21st, which means I'm half way there!


And for anyone confused by Calvin's middle name, this is for you:

Pronunciation:	kah-vee-kah
Gender:	Boy Name
Origin:	Hawaiian
Name Meaning:	Hawaiian form of the Hebrew David, which is derived from ddvld (beloved). The name is borne in the Bible by the second and greatest of the Israelite kings

My little helper...

Is it ever too early to teach your kids to wash the dishes?
Bradley sure had fun, so I don't see the problem.

Bradley sure is gonna miss the beach...

We're counting down the days! This Saturday we are
moving back to Utah.
Garrett was offered a job there,
it's way closer to family then Santa Barbara,
and so our vacation is ending.

Even though we are SOOOO excited about the new change,
it is hard to leave the amazing friends we've made.
I guess we'll just have to wait for them to follow us:)

That Hurt!

Ohhhh the memories of really stupid things we do.

Thanks to my long time best bud Berk, I finally got the video straightened out so every one else can laugh at me for jumping off a 100 ft. Cliff. I wish I could brag about this but a torn ACL, Cracked Tail-bone, and compressed spine takes the glamor out of it.... Don't worry for those of you who havent heard the story, this happened before we were married.
