Pictures of my Casey Boy

When Case's birthday rolls around, which seems way too often, I have his pictures taken. In the past, I have gone to Kiddie Kandids and easily spent at least 100 bucks. Well this year, that was not going to happen so I asked my Aunt if she would take them. She has been taking pictures my whole life and is way good! The pictures of him turned out awesome. They are my favorite! Case learned when he was tiny to smile every time I get the camera out (which is alot) and is so photogenic, on top of being handsome! Happy Birthday Bud! We love you TONS!!!!!!!!

Updated... Finally!

Wow! Where does the time go? I can't believe how fast a month (okay, almost 2) goes by! We have had a great Spring and are looking forward to the warmer weather and being outside. Here's some pics of our latest activities since I posted last!













Easter Sunday- All dressed up in new clothes for church!






















Case's Birthday- May 3. He's 4 now! Where did my baby go? Case had a great day and got lots of fun presents- his favorite was his new bike from mom and dad and new fishing pole from
Papa and Grandma Deb. We went to Pirate Island and swimming at the new Washington Community Center. If you haven't been- you gotta take your kids! It's great.























Me and Eva on Mothers Day- Case was too busy to take a picture with us. Taken in my mom's backyard in front of the pretty lilacs!






















Case's end-of-preschool program. He has loved preschool and his teachers this year. I sure am glad he has another year left- I am not ready for Kindergarten! They sang 3 songs and then they had a 'circus' with games and popcorn, hot dogs, and a pinata. It was a very chilly windy day, but we had fun.






















And this is Miss Eva gettin' around! She is definitely on the move and doesn't want to sit still, unless it's to eat! She's doing a good job of scooting in her cute little way- no crawling yet- for
which I am thankful because I'm going to lose my mind when that happens!

A Fun Night Out

We took Case and Taleena bowling on Saturday night for a fun outing. We had tons of fun. We played 2 games and they took most of mine and Kyle's turns. They were so done after 2 games. Then we gave them a ton of quarters and let them play all the arcade games, which they were in heaven with the quarter cranks, and air hockey. Eva had lots of fun sitting on the floor with a bright pink bowling ball watching all the action! Then we went to Brads for dinner and then to Wal-Mart where they each got a cool glitter water balls. It was a fun evening that lasted until Sunday morning! (Taleena also got to sleep over!)

Snaps of my cuties!

I love the random shots of my cuties. They really show their personalities and what they are like at home. Of course, Eva is either happy, ornery, or silly. Case is usually really happy, wanting the center of attention. Being a mom is truly the best job in the world. It is a job, but seeing pictures like these make it all worthwhile!

DAVID ARCHULETA!

On Tuesday March 24th, Tessa, Taleena and I went to the David Archuleta Concert at the Burns Arena in St. George. We had such a fun time and David was awesome. I had forgotten how amazing he really is. The kid is probably not much taller than Taleena! He's so cute! We got to do some shopping and ate dinner at Mongolian BBQ (yummy!!!!) and then went to the concert. We saw lots of people- Tessa's friends and I even saw Sylvia and her 2 adorable daughters. Yup, we had a fun sisters night out! Love ya sis's!

Baby Quade

Baby Quade Arlin Hughes was born on Friday, March 13 (just like me!) at 12:11 am. He weighed 6 lbs, 15 oz, and was 18 inches long. Tara had a good labor and delivery- and did it all natural! You go girl! He is 2 weeks old and is just a little sweetie. We love seeing baby Quade- especially Case. He thinks he is so sweet. We love you Quade!

These are Eva's 6 month pictures. I took her to Kiddie Kandids hoping we wouldn't have the same experience as her blessing pictures. She was the most perfect little girl! She didn't cry, she just sat there and smiled. She loved the little toy the photographer had and did so good. Case got in one too. He loves his little sister! Thanks Eva for being such a good girl!
