April Showers Bring May Flowers

Hold on to your saddle horns!!!!! April was a busy month! I was finishing up my LAST few clinicals and LAST few classes of my VERY LAST semester of school. Colby was also finishing up his Radiology Tech program. He took his boards in April and PASSED!! We are so proud of him and how hard he has worked to get to this point in his education!! 

We also celebrated Hayden's 3rd birthday on April 16th. We had a fun filled day that started with Layne and Tayte. I tried making "Birthday Waffles" with sprinkles in them and frosting for the syrup......but none of the kids thought it was as great as I did haha.


Then, because it was kind of a gloomy day, we met a few friends at McDonald's for lunch and the kids played and played and played some more! 


Here is her birthday cake I made....I loved how it turned out and it actually tasted okay too!


Colby got done with class early in the afternoon and he thought it would be a fun little outing to go bowling! It was actually super fun! I hadn't been bowling in YEARS!!


Then it was present time....



Here she is getting her "bike hat" all buckled up and she was trying to close her eyes for the next surprise......


Her BIKE!!! 


I think she blew out her candles at least 5 times.......she kept wanting to do it again and again!
Happy Birthday little one!!! We love you more than anything and can't believe how big you are getting!!!


At the end of the month, I was lucky enough to be able to meet up with some of my favorite women for our annual Cox Girls Getaway! Misha doesn't exactly get to get away cause we all invade her house for the weekend....but she sends her kids away and plays a marvelous hostess! That weekend just happened to be my graduation and instead of flying out to Cincinnati to celebrate with people I don't know I celebrated with those women.......and they were so good to me....they even had my car detailed while we were there! I worked Thursday night and then slept for a few hours when I got to Misha's then woke up to this little plate of deliciousness and a sweet little note!


Then we all headed to brunch at Breakfast at Tifiny's. It was also delicious!
Starting in the back left to right: Tricia Duffin (cousin), Me, Suzanne Morris (aunt), Cicelie Keller (cousin). Front left to right: Leah Cox (cousin-in-law), Misha Edwards (cousin), Jody Cox (aunt).


After brunch we headed up to Zion's to do a little hiking. I have lived in So. Utah for 8 years now and had never been to Zion's until then........I know.....ridiculous!



I had to post this picture cause it was so funny to scroll through pics and then see Cicelie just perched on this rock!



That night my mom and Maisa were able to join us and the next day was filled with sleeping in, lunch, and shopping!

I had so much fun and, as always, I am looking forward to next year and hopefully more can make it!
