LONG LIVE SUMMER!

Oh wow. So last Sunday we introduced our parents into the Biebs. I think my mom and dad liked it more then they show. Also, they laughed their heads off remembering how us 3 girls acted like this towards New Kids AND my mom with Nick Carter!


On a totally DIFFERENT note Aaron and I have been watching Man vs. Food like crazy and that guy is so chubby.



We babysat baby while his dad was graduating! It's so awesome and we are so proud of him and for getting into law school!





We met up with everyone at Five Guys for dinner after his graduation. This baby kills me!



We went to the lake with the Dahl family. Leave it to my husband to find the goats in the mountains. You don't see but he has this huge water-gun-launcher thing and tried to hit them! Play nice Aaron!




Ash was sitting in the front of the boat and tried to stay dry.... the captain turned and water went ALL over her. Heee Heeeee Heee!!!!!



Aaron and Mark cliff jumping. I'm very surprised how fast Aaron jumped off. Usually it takes him like 20 minutes but he just jumped right off. I'm so proud!



Ash, Heather and Rhea




So.... this picture is for my mom. Aaron and I went to our ward campout with some of our friends, the Rush's. This is the ONLY picture I managed to take but we found this little guy in the street! We tried feeding him peach rings and gummy bears, but he was not into that.

And the campout was fun! I'm still trying to be a better camper. Any camping tips that make camping a dream??? Send them my way!



Friday night we got together with our frends the Jones'. We had an awesome dinner at Pita Jungle (which is like the ONLY place Aaron and I go to) and after we decided to walk to Dairy Queen then back to our house to watch Hot Rod (which is like the ONLY movie Aaron and I watch). This is Sam. And this is Sam making a mess out of his ice cream because he just HAD to get a large cone.



Friday the 27th was baby Sam's 1st birthday and on Saturday Ash threw a ROCKIN party for baby. Rhea made a special cake for the 1 year old. Super talented eh!



Mark preparing baby for his own special cake!




Don't know what happpened to this picture, but he loved the cake. It was not until the very end he realized the smashing and throwing was so fun!




Aaron of course was playing like a little boy himself. The little boy all the way the right is my new primary kid. Classes combined and I have a lot of them now and I just love them!



My parents and Audrey showed up. My dad in circus theme attire and all!



Ash worked so hard all day preparing for the party. It turned out SUPER awesome. And her sunburn turned out SUPER awesome too!



Love this 1 year old big boy!



And this picture is exactly what I'm going to do. One week from TODAY I'm runnin the marathon. I just started to get the jitters today.

I'm gonna run freaking wild and kick that marathon in the BOOTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!


oh, and more importantly I'm so excited to see BFF Kelly O'Fallon too.

Best weekend ever

The best weekend ever started out with NOT working Friday. Holla! Any day off is a great day, right!?

The morning started off early with a 20 mile run. WHAT THE! So on the way home I stopped by QT for ice then came home, took 3 ibuprofen, iced my legs and watched Modern Family.



Saturday during the day Kate and I went and saw Billy Elliot. I thought it was really good. And boy, can that boy dance! We didn't fall in love with the music, but that is okay cuz it got us really excited for Les Mis in June!




That evening Ash called and told us they were at the temple taking family pictures so of course we put on our shoes and ran over to the temple to see the lovely snapshots of the cute little family.



And to get some Sam time. Baby Sam loves his uncle!







Aaron surprised me with flowers for mothers day. How sweet!!



The flowers were gorgeous. I love having flowers in my house.





With every card Aaron gives me he writes acronyms (is that what they are called Aud??)






A (awesome)- self explanitory



L (likes things that are nuts)- Hot Rod quote. Because that is our favorite movie. For forever.



L (Laguna Beach)- I just refound my love for season one of laguna beach. .....embarrassing!



I (I love Adam Levine)- What, he's stinkin hot, right?!



E (Every A-dahls you're biggest fan).... still trying to unscramble this one...


THEN.... on Sunday



which COINCIDENTALLY happened to be MOTHERS DAY



We got to skype with Taylor! He looks so good and told us all about the Royal Wedding.



AAAAND the upcoming wedding he gets to be in! Best man and kilts included! He is so cute and still so funny. He is working hard and enjoying himself too.





We headed to my parents after talking with Taylor to get ready to talk to Nay. Here are the boys eating cheese crisp while the women.....







Make the dinner! I love how my mom made her mothers day dinner. AND she did the dishes.



why does she do this may you ask?



1. I think she tries to teach us how to be domestic while she cooks and bakes but it never works



2. She does the dishes cuz she is ANAL on what goes in and what DOES not go in the dishwasher...







Nanie came up to talk to her little Nathan Baby. My Nanie is the best. And she is so smart and sweet, and loving. I could go on and on.





We're lucky to have a mom like this. Wanna know how lucky we are? She his been speaking British English since the Royal wedding.



LUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!





Sisters forever.



We were peeing our pants getting ready to talk to our favorite brother.


Then it happened. After calling a hospital 3 times we managed to get the church in Brazil and it was 2 hours of bliss. He is still adorable, still giggly and still can pick out each of our voices thousands miles away.







Oh, and he is still totally long winded.





Landon stopped by to say hello to his BFF. It was really cute. I can't wait to get all these boys back cuz they were the best together! Nay was speechless when Landon got on the phone and he said "Landon, I've been thinking about you all week!" I thought it was precious. Although Nay could have said POOP and I would have thought it was precious.






AND Landon made my mothers day by telling me during dinner that I looked just like Kelly Ripa.



Without even knowing my sick fondness/adoration of her.






LOVE YOU LAND-A-GOTION!




That evening we went back to the Dahl's to spend time with Rhea (and not take ANY pictures of her) but I think we got plenty of baby! We were entertained for hours trying to get him to walk!





Aaron and Tannner spent the evening putting together this Power Ranger toy they had when they were younger and telling us all about Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.



And Rita. Oh her voice still gives me chills.






The end product. Even after 20 minutes of a you-tube tutorial!




What proud friends we are! This stud is graduating this week from ASU. We love you Davey!



Celebrating Davey's great achievement at Freestone with yummy food and favorite friends!



Oh I'm just so excited for this couple. They have so much funness to look forward to. I love them, they are like our family! It was good to catch up with the Hall gang as well.



The girla's---minus Aud----- she didn't want to be put on a blog. hmmmm. I love these girls and I'm so proud of Davey and my brother in law, Mark, for graduating! Now, grad school for all of them!

Easter time and Oranges

I think I have posted this picture before... who cares. He's ador-able.
and SOOO kissable.

And guess who we got to spend a WHOLE weekend with last week????

The Smith fam!!!!!!!!!!!



It was such a blast! They came down to take care of some business and made time to hang out with us. And because my favorite holiday was near, we totally squeezed in dying eggs.

Us 4 adults.



Because my husband is brilliant and going to medical school, and Aim's husband is equally brilliant and going to dental school, both boys decided they should try to dye an orange from outside.


Let's just say dye got on Aaron's shirt and oranges don't change color.


I'm totally qualified to be a doctor too...


I love dying eggs. I buy every stinking cheap dying kit out there. It was my favorite thing to do (besides thinking of Jesus)around Easter time.

And of course always leaving a white egg and getting billions of dollars.



The two brainiacs. I think they are more alike than they even know. Go Midwestern dental and U of A!



The finished project.

Including the orange. Which is still orange.



Take out of Joe's BBQ and Easter pageant was so fun. I forget how fun the Easter pageant is and this year we were lucky enough to listen to it every night from our house!

And also deal with the totally awesome traffic and parking. every. night. !



Aaron's cute Easter basket. I don't have kids, so sadly enough he turns into one of mine. Sometimes I go over board. At least I didn't hide eggs this year and make him find them.



Uh, maybe cuz we're going in June? YES.



We spent Easter Sunday eating Hershey kisses and then going to the Dahl's. Here is Aaron and I with cupcakes and aunt Tina.



Grandma was so fun and decided we should play games on Easter. So, after a scrumptous dinner, we played BINGO and then divided into teams to play more games.

This is Aaron's uncle. Their team could not figure out answers so after 30 minutes of racking their brain they had to bust out the world wide web.

It was pretty hilarious.


Grandma and Aaron and Easter Sunday. The two cutest people ever.



Last Tuesday I was in the neighborhood and decided to stop by Last Chance. For any of you who have been there parking is a BEAST. So this is "I got the first parking spot and I rule" face. Also, a great view of the sealants in my molars.


Went to Gecko with Amy Hall Riter, Julie and her cute girls, Aud, Ash and baby. Seriously my nephews eyebrows are the best.




Last Friday AED induction was the event. Aaron has been the president of this pre-med honors society club this past year so he was in charge of putting this induction together. It turned out great and he gave such a great speech. This was the best part. All of the inductees were given stethoscopes and candles after they were to walk over to Aaron and get their picture taken. Well.... the camera, after every picture, had to charge 30 seconds. So... it was very awkward and I was the only one giggling cuz I know my husband was so uncomfortable and I was secretly loving it!

I'm satan!




Aaron swearing in the new officers. The girl all the way to the left is the new president. She was Aaron's vice president this year and saved his booty many-a-times.




You know, even though he tries to dye oranges instead of eggs, gets a bajillion photo radar tickets, and steals all the covers every night---

he is the best and I love him. Thank heavens AED is over, right Dahl!


Oh, and my only sunbeam today called me a dork.

it was probably the highlight of my day. I told him to tell me I was beautiful and not a dork. He did so everything is back a-okay with my favorite sunbeam/3 year old.
