Putting off.

So this week has been full of thing's I've been putting off.
Not because I don't want to do them, but because there just aren't enough hours in the day.
So right now I'm putting off my final math assignment and editing for a second to play catch up with the last week of blogging that I've put off.
So hopefully your better than me and aren't putting anything off! :)
Here's is our life lately, between all the homework and finals, of course!
 Last Friday I had work off to do the "catch up" game, but when I saw my Aunt and her boys playing on their front lawn I couldn't help myself!
Then we walked to the Temple! I love having them as my neighbors! I'm spoiled!!!
 Last week I took 3 different photo shoots out in Ivins at the res, so that called for surprise visits to my family! I love hanging out with my family! Seriously, I can't image anything better than family! Pose pic!
I guess one picture is all I get! Haha :)
 Trev had a rugby game last Saturday where they played hard and WON!!! I'm excited for their next game tonight at 5 :)
 Killer!!!
 After Trevor's rugby game we headed to Jeff's family Easter party! :) I took way too many pictures of Emme as usual!
 Aunty "Mimi" is the apple of Emme's eye lately! 
 Jeff had this fun game where he lifted Emme in the air and she would laugh and laugh.
 And laugh...
 And then cry...hahaha.
 Steph was down! It's always a treat when she's in town!
 Emme and Nana!
 The week went on with TONS of homework, final assignments to turn in, and quizes! However, yesterday I put off my stuff a little more and HAD to go help Cec paint her wall. We made a huge mess, and I had to pain my nails because of all the black paint under them (I never have my nails painted haha) but it was a BLAST to hang out with Cec like old times and decorate her room.
 It turned out AWESOME! And we really had too much fun!
 Then we went and picked Jeff up to introduce Cec to The Habit before heading to Jaden's mission call opening!!!
PC: Cec-so-sweet! :) on her second try! Haha!
We converted her, to say the least! :)

I LITERALLY LOVE MY LIFE!!! I don't know how I am so blessed! Yeah, I had times where I'm stressed or get really down but whenever I take a step back and look at all I have, I can't help but be overwhelmed with gratitude. 

LIFE IS GOOD! HAPPY WEEKEND!
Finally...
And now back to all my stuff I've been putting off...

Oh HAPPY Day!!!

I'm feeling good today because I finished my huge research paper (I only stayed up til 1:30 to do it)!
Now that I can breath a little easier I thought I'd post some picture that make me happy.
I'm not very good at having a flowery yard yet, but I will be one day!
Keeping flowers alive is a lot harder than it sounds...
Anyway, working in the yard with Jeff always brings so much joy to me! So here are some of our typical yard working pics.
 Hot air balloons (maybe this one is not so typical...)
 Jeff acting weird with the watering can...hahaha I love him.
 Me looking weird with my crazy outfits. :)
 The only flowers that really like me in my yard, they continue to live! :)
 Our cute little home! I may be a little biased but I think we have the cutest little house! :)
 Cute smile Jeff!
 Still working on the dead patches of grass, but with no sign of hope.
 LOVE SUNSHINE AND FLOWERS!
 The most romantic flower!
 And probably the easiest flower to have in your yard.

 Little bit about Jeff: he is always willing to do whatever I ask (even wake up early on Saturdays to play in the yard with me), he always does it with a playful attitude, and he always finishes whatever ridiculous task I have for him with a kiss on the lips. I SURE LOVE HIM! HOW DID I GET SO LUCKY???
I hope everyone has a happy, flowery, sunshiney day! I know I will, having that huge paper done!!!

P.S. I made that wreath for $7!!! :) I bought an old wreath at the D.I. for $1 then ripped everything off of it, then bought a pretty garland at Michaels for $6 and hot glued it! :) Proud DIY project!! And i love that it adds so much to my house!

Okay, everyone have a beautiful day!!!!

All my love I give to thee...

This last Monday we had our Easter Concert in celebration of our Savior's life and it was such an amazing and beautiful night. 
The spirit was felt and there was peace and happiness all night long.
It was a short 30 minute concert with live singers, dancers, and a movie of Christ's life.
It really helped me to get into the Easter spirit and to remember what this season is all about and most importantly, what this life is all about!
It was such a hit that we will be making it an annual thing, so if you missed this year be sure to come out next year.
So far, this has been my most spiritually in tune Easter and I feel humbly and peacefully happy.
HAPPY EASTER!
 Almost all of the performers! 
 Always a little time to be silly.
 It was so special to be able to do this concert with these two. Jeff sang and Amy danced and they were both AMAZING.
 Sibs. 
 My Mom was emotional before the show even started! :)
 I love these two and it was such a treat to be able to have Lexa there again!
 Practicing the jitters out.
 I love him!
 This woman right here is AMAZING! I look up to her so much and feel so blessed to be able to have such an incredible relationship with her. She is an amazing friend, teacher, sister, aunt, coach, and role model. She carries the light of Christ with her everywhere she goes! I LOVE YOU!!!!
 Best friends for eternity!
 My videographer and photographer. 
 I was honored to be Mary and dance to "Breath of Heaven"

 Chills on top of chills at this part.
 Amy making me cry at this part.
 Perfect expressions.
 "All my love I give to thee..."

 I BELIEVE IN CHRIST!
Good show everyone! :)
It was such a spiritual night and I'm grateful for the small part I got to play in all of it.
I can't wait for next year!!!
I think next  year I want everyone to take a second at the end of the show and write any feelings or thoughts they experienced during the show and would like to share with us performers. I always like to know!
Anyway, I hope everyone has a HAPPY EASTER and remembers the reason we celebrate Easter in the first place!
Happy weekend.
