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!
