Every spring we have a Career Conference for Mary Kay…this year it was in Frisco, TX which in addition to spending time with my AWESOME consultants and getting lots of great training…I also had my first trip to IKEA!!! Ok, I’m officially in love! We are seriously planning a trip during the summer so that I can spend an entire day there! Can’t wait!
I think this is more than our normal “mountain” but it sure feels like this every week….laundry never ends! The sign in my laundry room says, “Laundry…loads and loads of FUN”! It’s my reminder about how much FUN I’m having! 
Here's a fun clip of a song by my favorite, Hilary Weeks that really goes along with how I feel!

Oh...here's the little video clip she did for the TOFW conference (pictures and an explanation above). She intro's the next group at the end so just ignore that....

Here are a few pictures of Lydia and Briggs in all their crazy cuteness…..as you can tell from our new family picture at the top of the blog, Briggs is quite the little Monkey! And he’s teaching Lydia all he knows…..
Here they are after Lydia’s recital—they insisted that I take this photo. Sillies! 
(more pictures to come from the recital)
Pillow “Spiderman” and She Rap…they are so crazy!!! They keep us laughing non stop!
Briggs is also my little lovebug…he picked all of these little clovers to surprise me, right around St. Patrick’s Day, and then put them in the kitchen sink window sill so that I could see them! He’s always doing sweet little things like that for me….what a sweetie!
This is Brigham’s Leprechaun trap. He made a “Leprechaun Hotel” with a sign that said FREE GOLD! The sneaky leprechaun visited their kindergarten classroom the night before St. Patrick’s Day, made a little mess, and left a cute note as well as some GOLD for them! He was SO excited about it. His teacher is the best!
Sadie was given an award at the end of the year Academic Assembly…she was the Most Improved Math Student in the 6th Grade! This was so exciting for her as she has worked really hard with her tutor…the amazing Mrs. Pawley----we’d be lost without her. When I called her to tell her we both got really emotional. Sadie really deserved this award!
Unbelievably, Sadie turned 13 in April!!! I still can’t believe we have a teenager. Sheeeshhh! She had a fun party with her great friends complete with a cake that a lady at church made. Sadie is REALLY into cakes and weddings (she is just like her Aunt LaDawn!) so having a fun cake made for her was a happy surprise!
Chuck with Graydon---doesn’t Chuck look like a Dr. with his beard?! So handsome…we all surprisingly liked it! 
Grandma Sessions & Lydia giving Graydon a bath. LOVE this picture!
Aunt Maria and Graydon (his favorite aunt!) at his baby blessing
Madison & Sadie….fun, fun cousins
Lydia and Briggs…this about sums up our trip! But it was SOOOO fun!
Aunt Maria and Haylie---Grandma Kathie and Papa Carl rented out the Bouncin Off the Walls room for our family and we had a BLAST!!! Thanks for a GREAT memory and fun times with cousins, aunts and uncles. We have the best grandma’s and papa’s!
Briggs coming down the slide…he didn’t stop the whole time we were there….it was a 6 year olds dream!
Sadie….coming down backwards!
Lydia---LOVING the slide!
Liam…looking cool as usual!
One of the fun parts about going to Utah is that I get to see two of my very most favorite people in the whole world….Susi and Allison. They are my “Offspring” Directors in Mary Kay but even more, they are dear friends and amazing women. Love you guys!
Bowling with Papa…so fun!
Sitting on the Beehive at the State Capitol. I LOVE this photo!
Mr. Farnsworth invented the Television in Utah…the kids were “adoring” him. He’s their new idol!
We went to the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers museum to see this photo of my Great, Great, Great, Great, Great (maybe a few more greats in there!) Grandmother Patty Bartlett Sessions. She was a Mormon Pioneer and a midwife---just an amazing woman and I feel a special bond with her. No…you aren’t supposed to take pictures in there, but I was feeling a little rebellious (that’s about as bad as it gets for me) and REALLY wanted a photo of us. We didn’t use the flash…does that make it better?
Cute picture of the kids at Temple Square. That’s the Salt Lake Temple in the background---where we were married 15 years ago! These are the 4 precious blessings that have come from our marriage, amidst many others. Love seeing them there. I also love going to Temple Square. The peace and calm spirit that is there is good for my soul!
Visiting our favorite Grandma Davie…we love her!
Chuck and Grandma
Half of the Sessions Cousins all together!!!
Sessions Family Adults---Ben was tickling me during this picture…sheesh…brothers never grow up! Love Ya, Ben!!!
Tickle torture from BOTH sides!!! Dan joined in this time.
Finally, a picture without any tickling!
Ben (who came down from Wyoming just to see all of us! They even had 2 week old Cooper with them who was absolutely adorable. I know that was a bit of a trick for you guys so thanks, Ben and Kara! That really meant a lot to us! Love you guys! (even if you tickle me relentlessly! ) Maria, Chuck, Dan, LaDawn and little Graydon
