Easter

We had a full Easter weekend. The Easter Bunny came Saturday morning, then we headed over to the church for breakfast, then over to my parents for an Easter egg hunt.  There were quite a few kids there; all my siblings were there with their children as well as, Shane and Keri, Beth and her kids,  and Brett and Terri and their kids.  Jon and Gretchen surprised everyone with a pony and cart to give all the kids a ride.  

We had Easter dinner at my parents house on Sunday.

Even Grandma and Grandpa Latimer got to ride in the pony cart.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, WE ARE EXPECTING!!

Yes! This does mean that the Baldwins are expecting!

Indeed this does make 4. Corby out!

Picture Day!

Yesterday we took the kids to Portrait Innovations in the Riverwoods mall for pictures.  It went better than I thought, Corby came with me so that is probably why things ran more smoothly than when I take the monsters by myself.  Bergen was all smiles, so were Cade and Andelin, but their smiles were of the more fake variety.  Here are a few highlights.

My Pretty Girls!

Tagged, Schmagged

I have been tagged twice now and have been putting off my response, so weird because I never put things off!  Since Morgan tagged me first I guess I will go with her rules.

Ten Years Ago:

I was a student at UVSC sitting next to this cute boy wearing a sweater vest in my Trigonometry class flirting like crazy.  By flirting I mean sitting next to him without being assigned everyday and never speaking to him.  We had our first date April 17, 1998 and ten years later we're still going strong.  Three kids and a mini van, we're living the American Dream!

Five Things on My "To-Do" List Today:

1. Pick up kids from school.

2. Laundry (everyday!)

3.  Clean Grandpa & Grandma Latimer's house.

4. Savannah's birthday party.

5. Book Club (Yeah!) discussing "Far from the Madding Crowd" by Thomas Hardy.  

I Enjoy...

Reading, knitting, quilting (I sound like an 80 year old), trips to Montana, reading to my little monkeys in be at night, sudoku, hanging out with my honey, talking to my mom, skiing, candy, Spring, Fall, going to the dentist.

What would I do if I were suddenly a Billionaire.

I have no idea.  I love the little problems that I have right now, I fear the problems that would come with being that wealthy.  I also fear being accountable for that much money.  I would probably give it all to the Church, they seem to have a pretty good system going.  Of course I may also buy a small island in the Caribbean.  I know boring cop out, I just am not destined for great things.

5 Jobs I've Had:

1. Veterinary Technician/Receptionist.

2. Secretary for Orem Community Hospital Labor and Delivery.

3. Administrative Assistant to the V.P.s of Pier 49 Pizza corp.

4. Benetton clothing store in Waikiki, HI.

5. Pet store clerk.

That's it.  All you could ever want to know about me, probably more.  Now comes the time for me to tag 3 more unsuspecting bloggers, hmmmm...  how about Katie, Adrienne and Gretchen.  Have fun guys!

Oh So Domestic!

Aren't we the picture of charm and domestic bliss?  I made the apron I'm wearing last month and Marianne made her apron this week as a gift to her friend for her birthday.  We just had to get a photo together.  Pardon the blurriness, Cade was the photographer.  On a side note, Bergen was pooping on the stairs as this photo was being taken.  We may look like we've got it all together but the house was imploding around us!

Happy Belated Birthday

I finally gave my mom her birthday present.  I had it finished in January, but couldn't pick it up from the quilter's until yesterday.  I bound it today and took it to her tonight.  I think she liked it, if not she did a good job of making me feel good.  I picked up the fabric in St. George in November on a girls trip and it totally reminded me of my mom.

I really like detail work in the triangles, I'm glad the quilter suggested it.

My Own Personal Maid

Look at those mounds of clean, folded clothes.  My darling Andelin folded 3 loads of laundry for me today.  Not only did she fold the laundry she went on and on about how much fun it was.  If only I could have her attitude.  I love it when she gets on a help mom kick, she cleans my whole house.  She loves to surprise the family: she cleans Cade's room, makes my bed, cleans the basement, organizes the toy closet... She loves the surprise aspect of it "Cade you should go in your room, there's nothing special about it but you should just go see it."  What a girl!
