I haven't posted in awhile because I felt kinda lame. I wanted to do this post about my sister's wedding but I didn't even take any pictures of the beautiful blushing bride! I just completely forgot and now I can't show everyone (okay, only 3 or 4 people) how pretty and happy my big sis looked. 

Needless to say, it was a way fun experience. Julie took charge of the decorations for the wedding. It mainly consisted of a whole bunch of tissue paper fans hung from the ceiling in different pastel colors. It looked gorgeous. 

On the wedding day, I wanted to go with Julie to get her hair done at a friends house. The hair took quite a bit longer than we thought and I still needed to go home and change and get my makeup on. If I was smart, I would have came already dressed but I thought we would have time to go home and do all that. Julie finally got done and I dropped her off at the temple and then started home to get dressed. It wasn't till I was pretty much home that I remembered I had left my temple recommend in the pocket of my coat which I left at the friends' house!  I quickly got dressed and started the long drive back to her house. When I got there, she was out of the house and I started to despair. Now there was no way that I could go to Julie's sealing. Just when I was about to walk away reconciled to my fate, I decided to see if her door was unlocked and it was! I quickly walked in and got my coat off the hook and ran to my car. I have never been so happy about someone not locking their door. I still got lost on the way to the temple and ended up being an hour late in the end but at least I got to see my sister and her new husband take their first kiss as husband and wife in the temple. I am so grateful for all the family and temple workers that waited for me to make it (by the way, they were running late at the temple, and the happy couple was taking their time in the celestial room so it wasn't like I was the sole reason why things were running late).

We decided to hike up "R" mountain with the kids one weekend. It was really fun and really steep, but the kids really proved themselves as hearty mountain men. We didn't have a baby back pack or anything so Nathan carried Asher all the way up and down. Asher was funny, he kept grunting like he was the one doing the hiking.

here's a small cave we found near the top where we took a break to change diapers and feed baby

This was a separate time when me and Nathan were on a date. We hiked up on a different side of the mountain here.

Here we are at the Logan temple at my friend Megan's wedding. My amazing visiting teacher babysat the kids for the whole day while we drove down to Logan. After the wedding, we spent the day exploring Logan, went to the theater and went out to eat. It was so fun to spend a whole day with just Nathan. BFF!

Mom and dad Robles came and visited for a couple of hours on their way back to washington

We went to visit Cody and Jillian for spring break and went sight seeing at temple square. Here the boys are at the Salt Lake temple.

And of course we saw grandma Anderson!

Together again, Joseph and Benny. They love playing with each other. Ephraim was really attached to Rylee. We were outside playing tag and we told Ephraim to get Rylee. Ephraim did more than tag Rylee, he ran up to her and tackled her to the ground. He just loved playing with her (and bossing her around, poor girl). Rylee was a good sport through it all. Two cute red heads.

We visited the aquarium, which was really cool and fun. I highly recommend it to anyone in the salt lake area. Here we are in front of the Megladon jaw. So awesome!

We splurged and bought a really huge bean bag. We love it and daddy loves throwing the kids into it.

Father and son camp out! The boys were so excited and I was excited to be home with just one little baby.

Arrg matey!

Hair cuts
