Snow Patrol

My sister's and I went to the Snow Patrol concert in Salt Lake.  It was at the Depot, so we decided to go out to eat at the Gateway before the show.  We had some yummy Asian food and then hurried over to the concert.  It was a little chilly outside as we waited in line for the doors to open.  It is the first time I have ever had to wait outside for a concert at the Depot, but we didn't have to wait long.  They were checking ID's of people in the line to make sure we were over 21.  The guy at the door was nice enough to ask us for ours instead of just motioning us through.

The concert was CROWDED!  I kept losing and having to fight for my space.  I felt very lucky that we are tall so that it didn't matter when people moved and shifted in front of us.  It got really warm during the concert, but we had a great time.  The lead singer was fighting a cold, and I felt bad for him a couple of times when he would lose his voice.  But it was a really fun concert and I enjoyed it.

Happy Birthday Grandma (and many more!)

My Grandma Marie Wilson turned 91 this year!  She is such an amazing woman, I am so lucky to have her in my life. 

We were lucky enough to be able to spend some time with her and some of my extended family for her birthday.  Matt made some delicious cupcakes to share with everyone and we made sure to include some candles and a song.

Happy Birthday Grandma!  We love you.

Easter

I love Easter season.  It is a time when the sun is starting to shine and the flowers bloom.  I love it when the temperature starts to rise and the days get longer.  I think it is hard to think about spring without thinking about Easter.

Another thing I love about Easter is getting together with my family and just being kids again.  I know that sounds silly, but I still really enjoy the Easter egg hunt my mom puts on for her "kids".  It has gotten a little less competitive now that there are little ones running around with us, but it is still fun to run around the back yard and find candy.  I love my mom for still humoring us and spending hours hiding candy that we find in a small fraction of that time.  It is fun and always leaves me smiling.

Here is most of the family enjoying the sun.

After the hunt we all get together and make sure everyone has a fair share of the candy.  Very adult of us I think.
