*A Glimpse Of Sunshine In My Life*

The sun is finally shining today & that makes me happy. There is nothing better than the warm sun on your face. Life has been busy & I've been behind on my blogging. I have so many pictures and stories but I don't want to bore anyone so I've added a few of my favorites.
In March, my nephew had a baseball tournament in St. George. The whole family packed up and headed south and boy did we have a blast. The weather was a bit crazy the first couple of days but it was finally warm enough to lay by the pool. My sis and I headed down on a Thursday with our Dad (hubby had to work). I forgot how much fun us girl's have with our Dad. We talked, laughed, made fun of each other (our favorite thing to do) & just had a great time.



{By the way, I have no pictures on this post of my nephew kicking butt on his baseball team because the pictures I took are in my big camera and I haven't been able to upload them yet and edit them the way I want. So those will come later but Braxton did AWESOME!!}

We stayed in Mesquite and my brothers were able to do a little dancing. Usually Danny (the one on the right) is the crazy one but this night Chris let his hair down too. They had all of us laughing hysterically. I just love these two brothers!


My best friends little sis still lives in St. George so we picked her up to hang out with my sister. These two girl's reminded me so much of me and my best friends when we were their age. I felt so much older watching these girl's have fun. It seems like just yesterday I was 17 and doing the things they do. I loved hearing them laugh & talk about life.




Jake finally made it on Friday night. We layed by the pool ALL DAY on Saturday so we are both soooo fried in this picture but we soaked up the sun and I'm NOT complaining. It was gorgeous outside!







I love my nephews kissy face in this picture. He was our entertainment this day. I just love this little man so much. He definitely makes my days better & ALWAYS puts a smile on my face.
What a great vacation we had! I loved spending time with the fam & getting a glimpse of sunshine. I hope it sticks around.

In the month of March I also got to celebrate this cute little girl's birthday. This is my best friends daughter and she is my favorite little princess. She's such a cheeser. Her Mom & I made her cake and cupcakes. What a night that was. We had fun doing it and I think Brooklynn enjoyed her birthday. I also took her and her Mom to Disney On Ice and we had so much fun.


Her birthday cupcakes turned out so cute. We did the different colored frosting & then put the edible baby pearls on top. They were so yummy!
Last but not least my little sis attended her Junior Prom. Although shopping for her dress was a pain in the butt {because she's a teenager} & then to find out she didn't even want to wear the dress we found her {because she's a teenager}.....she looked GORGEOUS {as always}! Unfortunately her over protective big sister always worries she is going to get stood up {it happens....TRUST ME!} Ha Ha Ha It drives her crazy and she always reminds me that she's not me and just because my high school boyfriend didn't ever pick me up for our junior prom that it's not going to happen to her. Thank goodness her date showed. I held my breath because he was a little flaky in the beginning but it turns out she had the best time at the dance and her date was awesome. YAY for happy memories!


Jake has had work the past few weeks & that has been so great. It definitely decreases my stress when I know he has a 40 hour work week. I sure hope the economy and construction picks back up in the near future. We have also celebrated Easter and my birthday and I will post those pictures a little later! I hope everyone is having a wonderful SPRING.
