Jamaica

I think Jamaica might be my new favorite place to vacation.  It was gorgeous! The people were so nice... very laid back!  We went on a river trip which was not like any river trip I've ever been on.  It was more like a river float with three mini rapids!  It was so much fun and absolutely beautiful.

              This is such a great shot... it explains EVERYTHING that 

              Ty did on this trip! You got it! Took pictures and video of 

               everything with his new camera! Thanks babe!  

                                                

                  Here is one of the "rapids"!  We were laughing 

                          when they told us to hold on!

                                            Gorgeous!

Happy Easter and Happy Birthday Ty!!!

This Easter was the first time since Ty and I have been married (14 years) that his birthday was on Easter.  So of course we celebrated all weekend!  Although, it was difficult trying to decide if we should do Easter before birthday, or birthday before Easter.  Jaxon had the best suggestion, to do them at the same time!  So that's what we did!  Ty got his breakfast on the floor, while the kids found the Easter eggs and went through their baskets. 

Here is Ty being mr. smarty pants with his waffle!

I love watching him figure out every single part of his

new camera!

The Easter Bunny brought the family Mario Kart and all the accesories... 

as you can see it took up most of our morning!

SURPRISE TY!!!

Last night I threw a surprise party for my cutest ever almost 40 year old husband.  I couldn't believe that I actually pulled it off without him finding out.  I had a bunch of our friends meet at Ty's favorite restaurant, Cafe Trang.  Of course I showed up with him 15 minutes after they arrived.  As we walked through the door they yelled "SURPRISE" and started singing Happy Birthday. Ty couldn't believe it.  It was awesome!  Happy Birthday My Ty!!  I love you!!!

Happy Birthday Jessie Girl!!!

Jessie had a GREAT birthday this year.  We celebrated all week!  She's probably one of the most spoiled 11 year old girls I know! (Guess that's what happens when you are the only girl in the family!)  She got her traditional breakfast in bed with all her presents.  She also got a shopping spree at Justice and a cell phone.  She picked up texting very quickly and has already sent 250 text messages. Good thing we got her unlimited texting!  

The kids always get to pick their favorite restaurant for dinner on their birthday.  Jessie chose The Last Samurai.  Notice that is the same place Jaden picked. . . Jaden and Jessie LOVE the Las Vegas roll at that restaurant.  (We highly recommend this place if you are ever in Park City!) She had a fantastic day!  Happy Birthday Jessie Girl!!!  We Love you!!!

Crazy Hair Day

CRAZY hair day. . . Jessica and Jaxon's favorite day of school finally arrived!  They spend all year planning how they want to wear their hair. This time, Jaxon requested three red mohawks. Jessica wanted red, white and blue stripes with messy pony tails all over her head.  Pretty cute! Here's how their CRAZY hair turned out. . .

Our Favorite Visitors....

A couple of weeks ago, we had Jessie's best friend and her dad come and stay with us.  They live in North Carolina.  They were our neighbors and moved about 3 years ago when Gary got a new job.  We have missed them so much.  This year for Sarah's birthday, her grandma surprised her by purchasing a plane ticket for her to come and see Jessie.  So we were lucky enough to have Gary accompany her! 

The girls had a blast!  Things picked up right where they left off. When Gary and Sarah arrived, I loaded up Jessie and Sarah and took them to lunch and then to get manicures and pedicures. It was so much fun listening to them catch up.  I don't think they stopped giggling the whole time!!!

The Stupp's have many friends in Park City! Of course we had a BBQ so Gary could see them. We ate and ate and ate, then we played the game "Things." (Highly recommend this game!!!) Then all 27 of us migrated to the basement for some serious Rock Banding!!!  We had such a great time and can't wait for them to come and visit again!!!
