You may want to pause the music at the bottom of the blog so you can hear it. I think it is really funny, and I hope you do too.

Spring is Here Love Tag
So I have never done this before but thought I would give it a try cause this is a fun one. I was tagged Here so here is my info.
1) What was your wedding date? August 5th 2004
2) How long from "I will" to "I Do" 4 1/2 months
3) Where were you married? Denver Temple
4) What were your wedding colors? Baby Blue and yellow
5) Who was in your wedding party? Nancy Quist (now Merkley), Amanda Horton (now Hill), Cody Horton (now Bruce), Darcie Wendelin, and Christy Smith (now Moffit), David Quist, John Quist, Jared Hall and Nate Howe.
6) Honestly, could your bridesmaids REALLY have worn the dress again? I think they could but I don't know if any of them ever did. I thought they were really pretty and not to formal. I wanted one for myself.
7) Did you LOVE your gown? Would you choose the same gown again? Yes I loved it. It was not my first choice but thinking back I think that I like it better then my first choice plus I saved lots of money! If I were to marry again I would choose the same gown, but that is not going to happen because I am happily married so there is no need.
8) Flowers: Real or Silk? Silk, not gona lie much easier then real flowers.
9) Reception: Full meal or Calling reception? We had two calling receptions. One in Loveland One in Monte Vista.
10) Dance or no dance? We had a dollar dance. Everyone who wanted to dance with the bride or groom had to pay at least $1.00. We were able to pay for gas to our second reception and treat ourself to breakfast. It was very nice.
11) What would you have done differently? I would have had an open house in Monte Vista rather then a reception. It was to much work for the amount of people who came. Oh well It was still nice though.
12) Any disasters?
One minor one It was the day of our reception in Monte Vista. We had gone to Zapata Falls and all of our spare clothes were at a bed and breakfast in South Fork. Anyway I fell in the water and was soaked. I didn't have a change of anything with me. Luckly Thom had a spare pair of shorts in the car so I changed into that, but everything else was wet. I know not really a disaster but some of my family made fun of me when I got to the reception wearing Thom's shorts. But in the end I dried out and all was fine. I know not much of a disaster but a funny story.
13) Best Gift you received? There are so many I am not sure. I am still using lots of them and so I would say those are the best.
14) Strangest gift you received? 23 packages of Lime Jello and 1 pack of blue jello (inside joke from the person who gave it to us) and a Statue of Liberty figurine that grew when you put it in water. There where a few others also.
15) Most Memorable moment that day? There are so many good ones but the one that first popped into my mind was at the reception. Thom wrote a song for me and sang it too me at the reception. I had no idea that he was planning to do it. It was a beautiful song. I made him record it for me so I can listen to it when ever I want. Another one is being sealed together for time and all eternity in the Denver Temple. There is nothing like knowing you can be together forever.

Hope you had a Happy Easter...
... we sure did!!
Friday night we let Tailynne die Easter eggs with lots of help. She still came out with her hands all different colors. So she took a bath and then posed with dad for a picture of the finished project. Saturday night we did an Easter egg hunt for her. She loves looking for an Easter egg hunt.
Sunday morning she got her Easter basket with her new dress and hat. Can I just say how much I love this girl! Not a minute goes by that she doesn't do something that makes me laugh. Even watching her sleep make me smile!

Random Pictures
Wow I can not believe that it has been two months since our last post. Here are some random pictures that we took over the last few months. These pictures are not in any order.
I went and stayed with my niece Karissa and nephew Brock while there older brother was recovering from surgery. One activity we did was the Denver Museum on Nature and Science. We had a great time.
Tailynne got a new bed, and I had a good time sewing sheet to match the quilt I made before she was even born. She does pretty well at sleeping in the bed, however there have been a few nights we put her in the crib because she wont stay put.
This picture was taken at Nanny's funeral. The good thing that came from the funeral was that my whole family was there. It had been a long time since that has happened. This is a picture of all the girls. From left to right Shelley, Micah, Amanda, Lorraine (mom), Cody (she really isn't bald it is just bad lighting) and Me. It was great to see all my siblings again.
I hope you enjoyed my pathetic attempt at catching up our blog.
We went snowshoeing up on Fremont Pass. It is a beautiful area.

Over spring break we went to Rocky Mountain National Park with Thom's parents. This picture was taken on Trail Ridge Road where there is some beautiful scenery.
We went to the Colorado Mills Mall and ran into the Easter Bunny. Tailynne was fascinated with him.

Over spring break we got to see some of Thom's family. This is her cousin Tessa who she gets along with so well. She also got along really well with her cousin Josiah but I don't have any pictures of them on this computer. She had a great time.
