the epic reunion of all reunions

We've tossed around the idea of having a college roommate reunion for over five years now, and finally decided to make it happen! I am SO glad we did because I [almost!] forgot how much I love these girls! They were my home away from home, about as close to sisters as it gets.

Aimee and Becky were the real troopers, flying in all the way from Boston and California! We stayed at an adorable little chalet in Midway, Utah.

Here's some pictures of our makeshift "Ridge" apartment (The Ridge was the complex we all lived in at BYU-Idaho)

Here's Aimee showing off our little kitchen. Notice her amazing shoes... Aimee's always had the best shoes :)

This would be the giant King bed I got to sleep in alllll by myself. You better believe I fully stretched out on that thing!!

Here we are chillin in our little living room

In true girls weekend fashion, we spent time in the hot tub, had endless hours of reminiscing and girl talk, brought masseuses right to our room, and dined and shopped to our hearts content. It was marvelous! Just what this tired, stressed prego needed.

Of course we had to hit up City Creek!

I know it was more than just coincidence me and these girls were assigned to live together. We are all so similar, yet just different enough to make living together enjoyable :) Miss you girls and can't wait til the next reunion!

the bunny found us in rexburg!

That Easter bunny... he has a knack for finding us wherever we go :-) This year found us in the good ol 'burg where we had lots of fun with cousins and easter festivities. Emmett sure loves his cousins!

We started out early Saturday morning with an egg hunt at Fat Cat's... FAIL. Too many kids (and parents), indoors, in too small a space, with too few eggs. Haha. Emmett ended up with two (one of which I admittedly grabbed). And on top of it, it was early - and thanks to traveling and little sleep, my morning sickness was in full force :(  Needless to say I put the kabash on the egg hunts for the day while the cousins headed off to another one.

When everyone one returned we had an egg dying party and the kids got their easter gifts from Grandma  and Grandpa Erickson, one of which was this awesome giant truck coloring book.

The cousins played and played and played. Climbing, bubbles and biking galore.

Emmett also got "wheeler" rides with Papa AND Daddy, so that alone made his day.

Here's a cute shot of all the cousins enjoying the sunshine

Then... Finally it was EASTER! 

Emmett woke up and found the basket and eggs that silly bunny hid back in the garden.

The Easter Bunny hopped on by with some Easter cupcakes (aka Aunt Sarah). Who, by the way, is wearing  the outfit we bought her for her bridal shower - sexy bunny right? ;)

Next we got ready for church to go celebrate what Easter is truly about! Christ's resurrection is one of the gospel principles that brings me the most joy. It is a promise of what we have to look forward to.

Have you ever seen such a handsome little boy??

After our Easter dinner, the kids had the time of their life playing in a child sized zorb!

I love being close to both of our families, and pray daily that Jared finds a job in close proximity to them. Family is the most important thing to me, and the thought of only seeing them during summer and holidays makes me so sad!

Thanks to both our families for such a fun Easter, and for spoiling little Ems! We love you guys!
