the masters...

the masters is the greatest golf tournament of all golf tournaments... chris sheds a tear every time he hears the theme song played anywhere... last year we stayed home and watched all four days by ourselves... this year we decided to throw a party on the saturday.   we invited a bunch of our friends over... or i should say all our dental friends from chris' work... and their families... we had a couple kiddie pools set up in the back and the kids had a great time playing around in them!  daniel didn't... he slept through most of the bbq. haha which was nice for me to keep making food and getting all that ready and not having to worry about where my baby was.  we also had lots of food... i figure a good party has lots of food.  chris bbq'd a flank steak which is his latest favorite thing to bbq.  it was really yummy.  i also made a golf cake... it turned out so cute... the pictures just dont do it justice... that is a real golf ball and the masters flag i made myself. haha i'm such a dork...

we also had some super cute babies there... 

daniel was completely entertained by aubrey dropping a cup off her head... he laughed forever! it was too funny... this video was after he had already been laughing for 10 minutes...

our friend cason is also in the process of getting some implants so we can commiserate with one another about having to take out our teeth every time we want to eat... we are awesome and look so good!

sunday we hung out after church and watched the rest of the tournament... it was a good day... not as exciting as bubba winning last year but still really good!  daniel somehow figured out how to climb on this box while we were in the other room... pretty tricky...

here is our comparison photo from last year to this year...

the rest of a vegas vacation...

after legoland we did pretty much nothing!!! we just hung out and shopped and visited a few friends... i was able to meet up with my friends jared and marla and their son ben.  it was fun to watch our little guys interact.  we also had lots of playtime with cousin gigi.

we had fun visiting grandma doris and climbing all over papa vern...

we had lunch with grandpa kelly one day and even got to meet his fiance (now wife) roni... who is very nice!

we also had a nice easter sunday... i must say we look pretty good :)

the next weekend was general conference so we did the usual and headed up to beaver, ut to watch conference at our cabin up there.  daniel had fun crawling all over the cabin and getting into everything possible. and amanda was very helpful in entertaining him the whole weekend.  we took a few trips into town and grandpa gave them rides on the gator.  my favorite part was putting on the player piano and amanda dancing around too indian nation and slow dancing with daniel to somewhere out there.  hilarious!

of course we ended our trip with dinner at olive garden... daniel really enjoyed eating the bread sticks...  also chris' favorite part of dinner there... sad chris wasn't with us!

i also had a lot of fun taking pics of daniel for his one year photos... here are some of the best ones.

i also took pics for my sister and then edited them when i got back to NC... here are my favorites

it was such a great trip to see family and friends and just hang out with my mom... we will be back in july! yay!!
