Here are a few pictures of the fun times we had in Ketchikan, Alaska. I was there for 8 days, George was there for 4. Here are quite a few pictures of my time spent in Ketchikan, Alaska with my sister's family. Her husband has been working like crazy during cruise ship season, so I think she enjoyed the company! Lots of diaper changes, and doing Lexi's hair, making Kaytlin smile, helping with meals, making cookies, laundry, watching the Jungle Book... a lot... etc! It was so much fun! George was there for the first 4 days, I was there for 8. It was a blast. Here are a few pictures to highlight the trip! :)

Joyful AcTiOn-PaCkEd Times*

This past month has been exciting and eventful! May will be too!

*April 14th* - Mom turned 49. (And 6 months since our first date)!

*April 23rd* - My brother TC and his wife Ashley's 3 year anniversary. We watched their precious 3 month old Savanna over night. She was perfect for us and of course quite cute! Now she's 4 months old. Oh and 18 lbs! 95th percentile in height and weight. She's growing like crazy! :)

*April 24th* - Kaytlin Lanae Youngberg was born to Kristin and John who live in Ketchikan, Alaska where epidurals are not available! Yes, she gave birth naturally (again) but this time to an 8 lb 7 oz baby! HELLO!!!! Good thing she had practice with Lexi because this time she didn't have a choice this time! *April 26th* - I turned 27. Yay? ...Nay.

*April 28th* - Lexi turned 2 years old! We called to sing Happy Birthday to her and after each time she excitedly shrieked, "Again!" It was SOOOO cute.

*April 28th* - Mom and Dad's wedding anniversary of 30 years! That's where it all started!
This is what May is looking like:

*May 2nd* - Iron Man came to theatres. Haha. We watched it last weekend and IT'S SO GOOD! We liked it a lot and I definitely recommend you see it on the big screen!

*May 10th* - We will fly to Alaska to help Kristin with the girls and maybe do a little hiking. I stay till the 18th, George comes homes on the 14th.

*May 30th* - We will drive for a quick trip to Kalispell, Montana for my Grandpa Perry's 90th Birthday Party! It will be fun and really good to see him! In July we're going to Albuquerque with some of our friends for the 4th. One of George's good friend's gets married in Connecticut July 19th, and Brooks Bare gets married August 16th in Washington. Then my sister Marisha moves in with us in August for her first semester at college here before taking off to BYU Hawaii! We are really excited to have her live with us. She is just a ray of sunshine!! :)...

...Can you tell?
Well, while we're preparing for all the action, we're working on writing Thank-You cards for the wedding! -Since its been over 2 months since our wedding.

HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YOU TO GET YOUR THANK-YOU CARDS MAILED OUT? (This will either make me feel better or worse, haha, but I really want to know).
