Beware pedestrians... Annie has her learners permit! YIKES!!

Annie turned 15 on April 11th and in our lovely state of Utah that means they need to pass a written test at the DMV and they get their permit!! (You also have to show them your birth certificate, Social Security Card (so have that ready before their bday or your in deep doodoo - but that's a story for another time...) and 2 items for proof of residence (like a couple utility bills will do it). Seems like a way too easy way to be able to drive, especially for those parents that won't let their kid behind the wheel without this little piece of paper!

Well, for Easter we headed to Thermopolis to spend the holiday with Harvey and Geneva (those pics to come as soon as I can get them off my phone) and Grandpa Harvey actually let Annie drive his mustang! She was in HEAVEN! And doesn't she just rock the hot rod convertible look???

On the way home I jumped in back and read a bit (without even getting 1 second of motion sickness which is a HUGE accomplishment for me! Must have been the fact that I was nevous as could be worrying about Annie driving) and Darrell rode shot gun while Annie drove for just over 2 full hours!! She also rocks the "I'm driving a Ford Flex look!" too!!

Mommy/Daughter Date...

Annie's cupcake

Last month Dippidee put a status on their facebook page about a Mommy/Daughter night they were having April 1st. Knowing how creative Shawna is and how much Annie wants to be a baker and cupcake maker I thought it would be fun to go and get some decorating tips as well as eat yummy yummy desserts! We were not disapointed! I'm also glad my girls are not too old to have a date night with their Mommy!

Disney on Ice with the Kinyon Family!

I get on my blog a lot to get to everyone else's blog, see what they're doing and what's going on in their lives but honestly, I'm terrible about updating my blog! So far we've had a pretty fun and exciting new year but not a ton to blog about.

We did go to Disney on Ice with my family, it was a lot of fun seeing the little kids get excited! I loved that when Mickey and Minnie skated out everyone was shouting MICKEY MICKEY, except Duncan who calls Mickey HOT DOG! He was just a shouting and pointing at hot dog and was so excited! I guess it's because he watches Mickey Mouse Fun House and there's a hot dog song on there. I just thought it was HILARIOUS! I also loved that Mya kept turning around (we sat 1 row behind them) and was trying to tell me all about the show but I couldn't hear her sweet little voice over all the commotion! It was fun bribing her to come sit with me and Dia (her name for Darrell) with popcorn so she could chat away about all that was going on in between bites of popcorn. I loved seeing Lo in her pretty princess dress and wearing her pretty sparkle light up crown (souvenier from the show!) and Brock with his cool light up glasses! Overall we really had a great time! Here's some pics...

Brock and Grandma showing off some cool flashy glasses!

The girls hanging out waiting for the show to start, I could NOT get Mya to look at the camera or smile, but she was excited! Below is Lo wearing her flashy sparkly crown! Annie and Mya got one too!

Duncan and Brock wearing their glasses!

My favorite picture for a couple of reasons... Kiersti and Becky! What the heck are they doing here???

I'm so grateful that my family is close, that we can get together and have a bunch of fun and that we rarely get on each others nerves! I'm grateful for the wonderful examples my brother and sister are and their great spouses!! I'm blessed to have the parents I do and if anything was missing on our family outing to Disney on Ice it was my dad! Whenever we do things and he isn't around it's noticed! We missed you Dad! Thanks for taking us all Mom! I love you family!!
