Bowling at Fat Cats

For our last Hoo-Rah before we left for Arkansas for the summer, we went to Fat Cats with the Schauerhamers and the Uminski Clan.

We had a killer coupon that got us 2 hours of bowling, pizza, shoe rental, and sodas for about 5 dollars a person.  The kids were FREE!

We had a BLAST!

It was such a FUN night.

While waiting for everyone to come, the Schauerhamer girls had some fun on the rides.

 Once everyone got there...the FUN began!

And believe me...it was FUN!

I was 8 months pregnant here and BOY were my feet SWOLLEN!!!

 The kids had so much fun bowling.

 Marek just had fun with his Dad's phone.

Becoming great friends.

 Marek and Lily really enjoyed playing with the fan.

Marek also loved putting on his Dad's shoes!

 Marek just taking a little nap!

He woke up in time to do a photo shoot with me!

 He would go into a new pose and say CHEESE!

Another nap???

What a fun evening.

I hope we get one of those coupons again.

It would be great to go bowling again.

Thanks for the GREAT evening.

Whose Nose it It?

Here is a picture of our cute little boy.  We are wondering whose nose does he have??  Leave a comment with your vote!!!

That is one big foot.  No wonder it makes such an impact when it kicks me!!!

We love our Jackson!

Baby Shower in Utah

 The other part of our time in Easter was spent at a Baby Shower Mom Walker threw for me.  It was AWESOME!  One of the coolest parts about it all was my MOM was able to come.  She was here for Richie's graduation, so we made sure to have the Baby Shower at the same time.  I loved having her there!!  YEA!!  

We ate some amazing food.  These to die for doughnuts, fruit salad, quiche, and swiss porridge.  YUMMY!

We also did some AWESOME games.

They all filled out a Baby Poll guessing when Jackson would be born, in what state, how big, how long labor would be and and what date he would be born.  Then everyone got a picture of me, a picture of Andrew and a blurred out baby face.  Everyone had to take pieces of each picture to predict what Jackson would look like.  You can see those below.  They came out AMAZINGLY!!

Finally we played the candy bar game.  We had a huge pile of candy bars and Mom Walker would say a phrase like, Baby girl's name and we would have to find the candy bar that matched....BABY RUTH!

 These pictures are AWESOME!

 Then it was time to open some gifts. 

Man, Jackson is just so loved and he isn't even born yet!

We got some really good stuff.

I just can't wait to see Jackson in these little outfits.

 It was so great to see everyone. 

I feel so loved that everyone came to the shower.

Thank you so much Mom Walker for putting it all together.

You did such a great job and everyone had a blaast!

 Here is Kate and I!  She is three weeks ahead of me. She is having a little girl.  We are so excited to be having kids at the same time.  They can grow up together as best friend cousins.!  Can't wait!

All of the men when bowling during the shower.  They also had a great time!

What a fun day!  

I loved it!!!

Richie's College Graduation

 Our Easter weekend started out going to Richie's graduation from BYU in Theater Education. Thursday was Commencement.  We were sitting up pretty high and were trying to find the Rich-man.  I spotted him when he entered the Marriott Center and when I found out where he was sitting, I went down the stairs and got right behind him.  Right when I got down there he started looking around for us...when he turned around to look in my direction, he had no IDEA I was going to be RIGHT in his face.  It pretty much startled him.  Hilarious!  I snapped some up close photos of him and then headed back up to the nose bleed section.  

Commencement was really wonderful.  Elder Scott spoke to the graduates.  Of course it was an awesome talk.  He made sure to tell the graduates and those of us listening how to make sure we wake up with a smile on our face every morning.....go to sleep with a hanger in your mouth!!!  

After Commencement we headed up to Salt Lake and ate at Tucci's in Trolley Square.  Then we all went over to the hotel where Mom, Dad, and Harvey were staying and hung out there for a bit.

It is always fun to be with family.

The niece and nephews had a great time in the Hotel.

Friday morning we went to see Richie do the WALK!!!!!  It was a great ceremony.  It is fun to see the BABY of the family graduate.  All seven of us kids have now gotten a college diploma.  

Way to go U-crew! 

Cupcake Wars

For Young Men's and Young Women's on Tuesday night we did
CUPCAKE WARS!

We were divided into groups and given some cupcakes.  

We had to decorate them as an Easter theme.

It was a pretty fun activity.

The youth had a great time.

The garage...all organized!

 This is our garage.  This is how we have organized it.  We just stack all of the storage bins on top of each other.  However, this really does not work so well...

 You see after a while, our garage looks like THIS!

It just takes too much energy to put the bins back where we got them from.  

So, we decided to build some SHELVES!

Check 'em out!

 This is what it looked like without the shelves...

 Our make-shift cutting table.  We get this done!

My husband is quite amazing!

Here is the finished project.  Now to get things organized!

Ta-Dah!  Pretty nice. 

 Now when we want one bin, all we have to do is get ONE down.  Perfect.

Andrew also built himself a work bench on the other side of the garage.  

I really am proud of his hard work.

It is nice to see our garage so organized!

Way to go Andrew.

Everything looks AWESOME!

Glider

Yay!  We have a new glider!  

Thanks Mom and Dad Uminski for the wonderful Christmas present!  

I have always wanted one of these, and now I HAVE one!  

I just can't wait to glide little Jackson to sleep!
