Easter!

Well, we're a little late getting around to this due to my lack of video techiness, but I wanted to put up a few videos and pics from Easter. We had a great time. Alan loved dying the eggs, aka eating and breaking the crayons and eggs. On Sunday morning, we read the story of Christ's Resurrection from the scriptures, then went out to find the eggs. Oh my goodness, he had the time of his life. Pretty sure he thought it was the greatest game ever. We also watched General Conference that weekend which was spectacular as always. Later that day we had an Easter dinner for 11 in our little Wymount apartment. Scott, Janelle, Alan, Michael, Savannah, Steph, Marc, Emily, Nate, Megan, & Dean. Woohoo!

I'm way too cool to wear those bunny ears.

Oh my gosh, how did this happen?

Egg. Crayon. Now what? Hmmmm....

The Eggs.

So excited about the egg in my hand, I don't even notice the egg on the floor.

All of my sisters!

I know I'm not supposed to play with cell phones, but I found it in the blue egg!

Visit from Grandparents (#2)

Shortly after the departure of Janelle's parents, Grandma and Grandpa Robertson came from Oregon to visit. We loved having them in town and appreciate them spending their spring break vacation with us. It's great for Baby Alan to get to know his grandparents.

Here's Baby-A wearing one of Grandpa R's famous BYU hats!



Hope you can come again soon!

For Anne....

Alan's first volleyball game.



Scott would like it to be known that Alan really does like Cosmo. It's just that giant cats can be very scary when it's past your bed time.

Job Offer Accepted

Ready for the big news......... We're going to Boise!!!!!

I know what you're thinking... Boise??? Yes! Not the most exotic place the world, but last time it was Arkansas, and I've lived in Provo for 7 years, so what can you do. :) Scott just accepted an offer from HP for after he graduates in December. He had interviewed with them here at BYU first, then they flew him up for some more interviews a couple of weeks ago. Scott liked what he saw when he was up there, and we've decided to give it a go. Seems like a good job, affordable cost of living, and fairly close to some family. And it's kind of nice to already know where we're going to be after graduation. We're so excited for this upcoming adventure!!




We'll see if we can talk them into a new logo. Maybe something like this??? :)

Nuit Internationale

Yesterday, our stake had our International Night. Sisters formed booths for different countries with all kinds of delicious food, costumes, decorations, and performances. It was so fun to be able to see a lot of the girls that I teach in the stake English class get so excited about their presentations. There were also a few sisters from our ward who participated as well. I helped with the France booth, mainly because the sister from France was in our ward. We also had a few girls who served missions in France help out too. And we wouldn't want to forget that I did take some quality French classes in high school. Only phrase that I remember: Je ne sais pas. :)

Here are some pictures from the evening...


The French Booth. Sam, on the far right, is in my ward. We served crepes and quiche, neither of which I made, but both of which were delicious.

Luana from Brazil setting out the brigadeiro.

Gloria, from Taiwan, is in our English class. As you can see she went all out.

Isabel, Mila, and her daughter from Spain! (I don't know the 3rd girl)

There were other sisters too, but these are the few pictures I got before we got run over by millions of people all wanting creps. :) It was a fun night and Scott, Alan, and Scott's whole family got to come as well!

Visit from Grandparents (#1)

We were lucky enough to have my parents out here for a weekend and loved spending time with them! We loved going out to eat, going to the temple, and watching our cougs in the MWC tournament. (Who unfortunately lost to UNLV. Hope we have better luck tomorrow.) And of course... we got to meet Bronco. (see last post) My parents pulled the "We're from NJ" card. Works like a charm. :)

Mostly it was just fun to relax and spend time together. The kids at home managed to survive 24hrs+ without electricity while Mom and Dad were gone too. Way to go guys! We are already missing them (I swear Alan's changed in the time since they've left), but we're also looking forward to a visit from another set of grandparents later this week! Yay!

Meeting my hero...

Tradition. Spirit. Honor.
