I notice a LOT of yellow!

So, it's time for some updates of what's been going on in our lives... First of all, happy belated Easter to all of you! I hope you all had great times with family or friends, and lots of yummy food! This year was unique for us for sure. With my dad down in Guatemala (fixing the boat and doing some fishing) and my mom in Hawaii (getting my grandma's house ready to sell:( ), I was left in charge of Easter dinner this year! Travis flew in Saturday night, so it was just Kirk, Trav and me for Easter. Although not big in numbers, it was a night big on food and enjoying each other's company!
What else did we do for this action packed weekend? Let's see... Kirk and I got to do dinner with Scott and Larissa one night who are seriously some of the funnest and raddest people ever, then we met up at a local favorite- Cherry on Top for Tim's Birthday dessert time.
Niccole and I went on this really fun (and long!) nature hike this weekend too, which was not only great exercise but also really beautiful. We hiked the hills at the end of the green belt by my parents house and I would've never guessed how much land there is to cover there! We got to see breathtaking views of San Clemente, Dana Point harbor, San Juan and lots of ocean! I don't ever want to take this beautiful place where we live for granted!

The start of the hike. Nic admiring the scenery!

Such one of the many trails along this hike. The hills go on forever! We met lots of friendly people along the way as well as a good samaritan that was forging a path for others.

There were so many flowers! Talk about springtime! Although I am sure most of them are considered weeds, we loved the various yellow and purple flowers that were all over the hillsides.

Props to Moo who joined us for this two hour hike. She was so pooped towards the end of it that she kept jumping up on my leg like so, as to say, "ok, I'm done. I need to be carried now." I'm such a sweet mom and carried her the last leg of the trail.
And then there was the awesomely fun BYU volleyball game! Julie's husband, Russel plays for BYU and they played against Long Beach State on Friday. You may notice that I am in bright yellow which happens to be CSULB's color's, but throw me some slack- Kirk and I had just come from temple night and I was limited on my outfit selections:)

Naomi loved the game! She also loved it when we were all shouting and cheering for BYU! I can't get over what a perfect baby she is! She is always happy and so flippin' cute that I just pray our kids are half as wonderful!

Apparently Chrissy didn't get the memo either about "no yellow." Oh well, she looks cute, so that is really all that matters! Niccole, you look super cute as always!

Da boys. Kirk showing off that gorgeous smile of his. I guess he might sometimes get fed up with me always yelling at him to smile:)

So, even though BYU didn't win (VERY close and intense game however) we had a blast and was even able to hit up Roscoe's Chicken-n-Waffles after the game. It was a first for Kirk and me and we were instant fans. Does fried chicken and homemade waffles go good together?? Apparently so! Yum!
