What have we been up to?

It has been a while since I have posted anything. We have had a busy month.
First Harmony, Steve & Devyn brought Hayden back from Kauai. They got to stay a few days and it was so great to see them and to see how much Devyn has grown.
They came for Cache's Blessing.
Cache was so cute in his little white tuxedo. Many friends and family came for the lunch after the blessing.
Hayden has been in gymnastics this whole school year and she finally passed off all of her skills and now gets to move to level 3. She has done a great job and is very strong. She has decided to take Hip Hop this summer and then resume gymnastics in the fall.
Hayden's 2nd grade class had a performance that we went and watched. She was on the front row and did very well at singing and dancing.
Three days after school got out Hayden got to fly back to Kauai with my parents and Cannon. While she is there she is going to Halli's graduation and is getting a special surprise from Aunt Britany, She and Halli get to swim with the dolphins in Honolulu. We will let you know how that goes.
Here are a few pictures of the last month.

Anniversary Weekend

Jeremy and I celebrated our 1st Anniversary on March 26th. I can't believe that it has only been a year, it seems like we have been together forever. We weren't able to celebrate that day, so we decided that we would celebrate while Hayden was gone to Kauai.
Jeremy planned the last weekend and so he said that I was in charge of planning this weekend :-( I don't like being in charge.
April 18th, Friday afternoon we left our house and drove to Salt Lake. We went to the Gateway and while we were taking the elevator to the shopping levels the elevator stopped and all the lights went out. I started to panic because I had to go the bathroom and I was imagining being in there for a long time. We used a cell phone light to see the buttons. We pushed different different floors, door open, and rang the alarm. Then we found the phone and we called. The operator was able to get the elevator to open at the next level. Thank goodness.
I had planned for us to see some shows at the Clark Planetarium. First we saw Mummies on the IMAX screen (for Jeremy). After that show we had time to walk around to some shops. The Gateway was getting set up for the Salt Lake Marathon which was going to be the next day, so there was a lot of people there. At 9:00 we went to the U2 Laser show, I was excited, you know how much I love Bono. The show wasn't as good as others I had seen.
That night we stayed at a hotel in Sandy. Saturday Morning we slept in and then we went to brunch at one of our most favorite places, Normandie. I have never gotten anything I didn't love there.
The weather was windy most of the day, but we went golfing anyway. We went 9 holes at the Mick Riley course in Murray. It was our first round of the season and we were excited to see if our driving range trips had paid off.
After Golfing we went to The Shane Company to look at rings. Jeremy gave me a very pretty diamond for our anniversary. I want to have it made into a right hand ring. The Shane Company doesn't do custom rings so we will have to find a place that does.
After that we went shopping at the Mall. I was lucky to find some church clothes. I always look but can never find any skirts I like.
So by now it was about 8:00 p.m. and we hadn't eaten dinner yet. So to the Cheesecake Factory it was. We had gone there 2 weeks earlier and loved it. We shared one meal and got two desserts, we wanted some for Sunday too. The food there is so good.
We got home about midnight and crashed into bed.
What a fun weekend we had.

Sand vs. Sand

April 8th Hayden flew to Kauai with Britany and Halli. It was her spring break and with frequent flyer miles, why not? This is her 3rd time there and Jeremy and I were feeling a little jealous that we didn't get to go. We wanted to play in the sand too. So, Jeremy planned a weekend at the sand dunes. We went with his cousin Josh and his wife Michelle.
We left on Friday the 11th, it was cold and it was hard to find a camp spot. A crazy drunk guy ran into Josh's dad's truck and put a big dent in it. We put the tents up in the dark and it wasn't easy.
Saturday the weather was perfect warm with a little breeze. We had so much fun. I couldn't believe how many people were there. Josh and Michelle lost their camera, but they were good sports about it.
Sunday we packed up and took a few leisure rides. Our tent pole snapped in half and we ended up throwing it away (I wanted a bigger one anyway). Then we drove back home.
So, even though we weren't playing on the sandy beaches of Kauai, we had a great time together.
P.S. We miss you Hayden

Easter Fun

Easter came and went so quickly. We had an exciting few days. Last Thursday March 20th my sister Abbey had her first baby. Baby Cache Michael Miller weighed 7 lbs 14 oz and has tons of dark brown hair. He is sure cute and hardly makes a peep. I am sad I don't have a picture of him to post. Abbey and Todd are such great parents.
On Saturday March 22nd ( my Dad's 60th birthday) I took Hayden and Jeremy to Abbey and Todd's to see the new baby. Hayden had only seen him through the window at the hospital and was dying to hold him. Jeremy had been gone with work when he was born and so he hadn't seen him either. Hayden is so excited to babysit him this summer. While we were there, my mom made us a nice dinner, we rode the 4-wheelers and we just visited.
On Sunday Hayden woke us up at 9:00 and we went to see what the Easter Bunny had brought. He must have had a hole in his bag because candy was everywhere. Hayden had fun finding all the candy he hid.
Then we got ready and made the trip down to Lehi to Jeremy's sister Lindy's house. She had made a really nice dinner. We don't get to go down and see his family as often as we would like so it was good to see everyone.
After dinner there was a big easter egg hunt in the back yard. Kyle found "Ears" the egg with a $5 bill inside. It was such nice weather. Hayden got so much candy.
Easter was quick this year but we had a great time.
