Mama on a Quest: Blessing Brent

March was a crazy Month! I got to see my family a great deal. It was wonderful. (: My mom, MacKay and I planned to surprise my Dad for his Birthday on March 16th, a Saturday. So MacKay and I took our first long road trip with Brent. He slept the whole way and did great! (other than the poop up the back in Evanston when we stopped to feed him. . . ) We showed up at my Dad's office, it was after hours, but of course he was still there. (; He was so surprised! We played a lot with Brent and had some fun. My Mom and I also got to spend half of Saturday with Candice & the laughing Zoe, Kelsi and her adorable Sagen, and Camille. We had the best time ever. It was so fun to laugh and talk like old times! Miss you girls!

Happy Birthday Dad!

My high school best friend, since we were 3!! Love her!

The following weekend was Brent's blessing here in Spanish Fork. All of my family was able to come except of course, Andrew. We had lots of Aunts and Uncles and cousins attend as well. We had the best lunch at the Taylor's with Pulled pork Sandwiches, lots of salads, desserts, and sides. Yumm. The Blessing was beautiful! Very nice, and of course Brent slept through the whole thing. (; Daddy did a great job! As we were rushing to get the rolls over to the Taylor's inbetween the blessing and lunch, we almost forgot pictures in his blessing outfit. Thank heavens for my Mom! Sadly, our camera was being funny and the pictures came out pretty blurry, we didn't find out till later. Darn it! Oh well! Enjoy! (:

The week after was the Shower in Cokeville and the next week was my Grandma's funeral. So we saw a lot of familly in the month of March!

Our April was pretty busy as well. When we got back from my Grandma's funeral, we rushed to the Cabin for Conference weekend. The Taylor's have it as a tradition, we listen to Conference on the Radio. We love the Cabin! We had to snowmobile in, because there was too much snow to drive in. The guys drove in first to start a fire so little Brent wouldn't get cold, then they brought me in and left Brent with Laura. Then they brought those two. MacKay drove Brent in, we had a front baby carrier that we placed him in, and an oversized coat that zipped up around Brent. At first, Brent hated being put in the carrier, crying and kicking. And then MacKay started the snowmobile and he stopped crying, halfway through the ride, MacKay pulled over to see how he was doing and he was sleeping!! I guess he liked it! hahaha. MacKay says he spoke his first words that day, "Faster Daddy, Faster!" (;
We only got a few pictures, but we had a wonderful time! Unfortunately the pictures are on the Taylor's camera. ):

Since we were gone for Easter, MacKay and I did our Easter a week late. We mostly did it for pictures! haha. I got a basket ready for him and got him dressed all cute, we took some pictures, I made strawberry short cake, and it was so yummy! MacKay had him try the whipped cream.... and Brent liked it! Don't worry, it was only a dab! haha.

The following weekend my bestie, Tiff and I got to go to a Boyce Avenue concert at our old stomping grounds! It was so much fun to be back at Snow College! I love it there, I saw lots of familiar faces, and we people watched more than watched the concert. Haha, since we are old and married, we felt pretty weird being in the 'mosh pit' so we found our seats in the stands. Not gonna lie, I was pretty jealous of the people in the pit! ha! Our other best friend, Shawnee introduced us to Boyce Avenue, and she couldn't come because she lives in Logan. ): We missed her a ton! Snow just isn't the same without Shawnee, Molly and Jenna! Allred started out, and he was really good! A lot better than the last time I saw him, haha. He is a great singer! Then out came the 3 brothers of Boyce Avenue! They were really good!! Lots of fun to listen too, and we had a great time. MacKay was babysitting in our house there, since it is sitting empty. I had to leave early to feed little Brent, he was screaming. So I missed the last half hour, but Tiff got to stay! We drove to McDonalds and got a McFlurry and headed home. Lots of fun(:

Allred!

My Volleyball girls! I miss them! Sara and Syd!

Then my Mom and Dad came down to visit. My Mom and I went to the Women's Expo at UVU, with Brent in Tow! It was so much fun. We missed Lindsay a lot! Then we met as a family, MacKay, Brent and I, Mom and Dad and my Grandma Henderson. We ate at the Pizza Pie Cafe. OH MY GOODNESS! It was delicious!! GO THERE! haha. It was so yummy. The dessert pizza's were my favorite! It is a buffet, so all you can eat. That's a bad thing! (;

My birthday gift(not till August) from my Mom! An expo special (: Cute right?!

At the Pizza Pie Cafe!

Then my sister and I started a workout program! It has been so much fun!!! It's called the Bikini Series from Tone It Up. If you're interested go to toneitup.com. You can still sign up, they just need your email. It's free! They give you daily workouts and goals. It has been a lot of fun! I have a workout buddy here in Spanish fork, Marissa and MacKay and I workout everyday(except Sunday) and I can tell I am losing inches, as well some pounds! Not to mention we are seriously having so much fun!! Linds and I check in everyday! It has been really good.

Our Evening Workouts!

My 40 Minute Morning Run!

Morning Run again, with a snake as a companion! (;

MacKay and I have decided that we need to do more dates. We haven't really done them a lot since Brent was born. (yes we just take him with us!) But we are kind of having a competition as to see who can plan the most creative without much money! So we have been on a few adventures, they are just small ones, but it has been so fun. We went up Spanish Fork Canyon and had a picnic and talked and took some pictures. So great to just get away and go outside! Then we have been trying to go on Sunday walks. On our TIU workout plan, Sunday is 'runday' but Linds and I choose a different day to do the runday challenge and try to do a walk instead. We had so much fun and discovered an amazing trail around Spanish Fork! After that, Brent and I go running or walking on the path every day! We have a blast! I can't wait for my sister to move here so we can go together!! (:

Sunday Cuddles, and Church!
