Gotta love Easter!

Matt and my first Easter together was awesome! Easter was on April 16th and we enjoyed being able to spoil each other. Matt's basket is the green one below and mine is the blue one. Matt got me so many good things I just can't thank him enough! I think he enjoys spoiling me, lol!



After opening presents we headed to church but decided to take a couple of photos first...



After church we went to my mom's house for Easter dinner and an Easter egg hunt!





We decided to go on a little hike and take some pictures, it was so much fun!



I love my family!



XOXO

Chelsie's B-day!

For my sister Chelsie's birthday on April 14th we went our to Los Hermanos and it was so good! We always enjoy going there for special occasions and it was fun to take Matt to the first birthday dinner of the year. I love it!







Matt is a goofball!







My cousins Riley and Scotty and aunt Cathy came down which was really fun!





Matt makes me crack up with his silly faces! We decided to see what Matt looked like with a goatee, SO FUNNY!

The Open House!

Being that Matt's family is all in California we knew we wanted to do an Open House out there as soon as we could. Matt's brother and wife had a little baby boy in March and so we decided to do the Open House in April and combine it with my little nephew Luke's baby blessing!

Me, Matt, my mom, Chelsie, Ryan, and Austin and then my buddies Ashley, Kathy, and Nikelle all went out to the Open House in California. We flew out there Friday, April 7th. We went to the beach first and had some fun!











We then took off to Big Bear (about 3 hours east) to stay up there with Matt's (and mine now, hehe) folks. Matt's family consists of his dad Daniel, his mom Sharon, brothers and sisters are Aaron, Thom (married to Sarah and they have their brand new baby Luke), Danielle, Allison, and Tim, Matt is the oldest. All the family was there and it was so fun getting to know them better and getting closer and seeing my first nephew Luke! On Saturday we had the Open House and I met a lot of people I really didn't know but they were friends of Matt so it was all good!








Sunday we went to church with Matt's family (while my family went to Disneyland) and had Luke's baby blessing. After the blessing it was fast and testimony meeting and Matt bored his testimony and it was so sweet!







Me and my chicas decided to get a picture taken out in front of Big Bear Lake. These ladies are my best buds and I am so thankful they came out to California with us!!




On Monday we went to Disneyland and is was SO MUCH FUN! It was our first time going together and it was so much more fun then I could imagine! We met up with my family and I loved every second of it!












We headed home the next day. What a wonderful vacation!
