Spring Break part I!
We have had a lot going on lately.  My mom and sister both had birthdays and I was able to enjoy a fun girl's night out with some gals from my sister's ward.
We also celebrated at Ichibiri for both my mom and sister's birthday as a family.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATE AND BETHERS! Andrew and Elle were lucky enough to be in town!
My mom's real birthday was the sunday of general conference and we had a nice brunch!
A fun Easter Egg hunt was had at Grandma and Grandpa Thackers!  Haven and Berkley got cute flower headpieces!  
Cute cousin Thacker stopped during the hunt to enjoy some candy!
Cute cousins
We did a fun walk/ hike with Katie and Tanner.  I actually didn't go because it hurts to walk right now so I stayed home and ate!
Haven had her Easter performance at school!
Berkley can't wait to be at Mrs. Shirley's pre-school next year!


We had some GREAT beach days!  The weather has been beautiful!


A trip to the Spectrum to ride the Ferris Wheel and do some shopping!
A visit with the Easter Bunny himself!

We were laughing because we will never know who was under this costume... but whoever it was sure liked Bryan and pulled him onto his lap for a picture!


More Spectrum but this time water fountains...

and the Merry Go Round!
And a fun lunch with Amy and Mikelle at In-n-out!

I am REALLY trying to enjoy my girls right now.  It is hard though and each morning I wake up and tell myself that I just need to get through another day!  I am SO uncomfortable already!  The baby is very low and I feel LOTS of pressure!  Another 16 LOOONG weeks and I don't have to be pregnant anymore!  I am excited to meet our new bundle!

Our wonderful weekend!
We had such a busy yet fun weekend.  We were able to fly up to Salt Lake and enjoy a weekend in the freezing cold.  I don't know how I did it but was calm as ever on our flights.  Even with out taking anything.  And let me tell you... our flight there was pretty rough!  I wore my superwomen shirt to inspire myself that I could do it!
We when arrived we went straight to Temple Square and met up with David, his band and his family.  There we were greeted by M. Russell Ballard and Quentin E. Cook of the twelve apostles.  Being in their presence and hearing their testimonies of the Gospel was a neat experience.  From there we had a special tour around the Temple Grounds and watched the movie "Legacy".

After that we had a delicious dinner in the Ambassador Room of the Joseph Smith memorial building.  
After dinner we knew that David would be surprising the Mormon Tabernacle choir and singing for them at their thursday night rehearsal...
... little did we know that we would be invited to sing with them too!!!
I was horrible but I think Bryan really got into it!  It was the coolest thing!
Friday I had to help David get ready for his UK and Asia tour most of the day but was able to sneak away for a bit to meet up with Andrew and Elle.  We did some shopping at The Gateway and ate a late lunch!
We were lucky enough to be there the weekend of our dear friends Maeve and Brad's little guys Mile's 1st birthday!
I love my Maevis and her new place is fabulous!  They have done an amazing job remodeling it to look like it is out of a modern magazine!

For dinner... they had homemade Cafe Rio salads that tasted just like if you were at the restaurant!
We left the party to head to David's concert at the E Center!  And when I pulled up to the red light... we saw this in front of us!  You know you are in Utah when... you are in traffic behind a tractor!
I LOVED that Bryan was able to see David in concert.  I think he was really impressed with how comfortable he looked up on stage and how he sang his heart out!!!
After the show we went back stage and told David what a great job he did!
After a QUICK 36 hour trip... we flew home saturday and I was able to bring Haven to the Kid's Choice Awards!  She had to come up early to dress David with me.  She adores him!  P.S. This is not what he wore.  This was one of the choices but not what we chose and good thing.  One of those twin boys from Zack and Cody wore this same shirt!
She also adored Nicole Boschetti who we went with!
My favorite movie in college was Rush Hour and Chris Tucker was a favorite comedian/ actor of mine!
Lisa Rinna was a twig with LARGE and in charge lips!
Haven, Nicole and I!
Haven loved Heidi and Hannah (two of the girls we met up with)!
Nic and Haven
Brooke Burke with her hubby and kids.  Can't remember his name but he is not bad on the eyes!
Ashley Tisdale
After the show on the Nickelodeon "orange" carpet!
I love wonderful memories like these!
