Spring has Sprung

We are so excited to annouce that we have seen the sure signs of Spring at the Francis house! Now that its so nice we can leave our front foor open, and we were quick to learn that it is Otto's favorite place to be. He stays there all day watching the cars and people go by!

Also I am so excited because the Tulips and flowers in our yard are begining to BLOOM! I am so happy to see the sure signs of spring here with its wonderful colors and smells!

and of course Easter! We had a wonderful relaxing eatster that we spend with lots of family, we started off at my Granppa and Grandma Lloyds (who live here is Sugar House) wished them a Happy Easter listened to the morning sesion with them, then we went to my parents and listened to more confrence, found our baskets that the easter bunny hid and colored Easter Eggs, we then went to Matts wonderful Aunt Kitoras for a yummy easter dinner with all of his large family there and then we ended at our second familys home (they arent really family but pretty much) Dave and Leslie Mckinnons! It was a perfectly crazy holiday filled with family, Just like we like it here in the Francis home!

Crazy life at the Francis House

So i know it has been awhile the Francis' family has been craziness!

Matt has been juggling school ,work and recently been very involved in his new business that he is getting started. I am so proud he got his business licence and found there retail space and we are very excited about that! We cant wait for it to open!

This last month we moved into a wonderfuly cute home up in the Avenues which we adore! It is right on 6th Ave and close to everything downtown. I will have to post pictures as soon as i can. It has alot of character and and old charm, not to mention Otto loves his huge backyard!

I started a new job but after a few months realized that i am not a 9 hr a day, cubicle ,office kinda girl! haha Who would have even guessed right? ;)

I have really been missing my BFF, so a few Tuesdays ago Matt decided it would be good for us to go and see her! We flew in to Long Beach about noon on Wen and had a wonderful day with a rented Convertable in the sun, shopping on Venice Beach lunch at Lemonade (delicious) and a night out in west Hollywood! Then returning back to Salt Lake by 10 am Thursday! It was quick but wonderful!

This last Thursday Matt and I decided we needed to get down to AZ to visit Matts parents and soak up some sun while it was snowing here! So Friday we jumped in the car and drove down! It was so incredibly nice to be in warm weather and with good company! We wish we could go down there every otehr weekend! We miss his Family aton and it was so great to see them! Otto swam in the pool for his first time and he loved it!

Even tho the life here at the Francis' has been crazy we love our life and couldnt ask for better friends and family and are greatful for everything we have!

A soon as i get more pictures ill post them ASAP!
