The Jelly Belly Factory
Last Friday I went with some of my in-law's to visit the Jelly Belly Factory. I had always wanted to go and jumped at the opportunity. Bryson did very well, he really enjoyed looking through the windows down into the factory and seeing all the machines and people working. When he spotted the trays of massive amounts of jelly beans, he made his Cookie Monster sound and acted like he was eating them. He loved the free samples at the end. I liked the chocolate shop where Bryson and I shared an enormous peanut butter cup. It was to die for.

Easter At Sand Mountain, Nevada
We went to Sand Mountain for a few days during Easter weekend. We were able to attend church in Fallon and got some cute photos of all the kids afterwards.
Here they are looking like angels...
and then 3 seconds later...
A shot of just the boys...
and 1/2 a second later...
Oldest cousin Lauren with Bryson.
Lauren with her sister Lacie, so adorable!
Now the Easter egg hunt. Bryson really got into it this year. All I had to do was give him a basket and tell him to put the eggs in it. He caught on really quick!
It was fun hiding the eggs all around our camp. In the quads, the trucks, the trailers and the sand.
Nice belly shot on me, yes, I'm measuring big. About 4 weeks ahead. This baby will probably be bigger than Bryson was at 8lbs 2 oz.
Bryson loved his Easter basket. The Easter bunny had left it on his bed when he wasn't looking.
I love my basket...kiss, kiss.
Silly string from Grandma Patrice. What a mess!

It was a great trip. No one from our group got hurt. The Life Flight helicopters did have to make an appearance a couple of times and that's always fun to watch. We even saw a guy get pulled over on his quad, tested for alcohol, and handcuffed and taken away right in front of our camp. What a moron! I didn't do any riding due to being too pregnant to be jostled around, which was fine. I enjoyed the sun, being with family and playing with Bryson in the sand.

Bryson's Rash
I know some of you have asked, "what was wrong with Bryson?" Here's pictures of the rash I was so freaked out about. It seriously spread and changed every minute. Luckily the doctor said it was just an allergic reaction to something, maybe the fabric softener in his clothes? I've been using Bounce sheets. We gave him some Benadryl off and on the next two days and it eventually went away. He's fine now, but I'm still not 100% sure what caused it. I haven't changed anything I do while washing his clothes but I do intend to buy some more sensitive fabric softener. I'm already using Dreft to wash them. I guess he just got over it. It scared us because Brett and I had both been pretty sick and we worried maybe he had caught some form of strep like our neighbors did (scarlet fever is strep with a rash).
Soap
Here's something I did one morning. I had a blast making all sorts of different ones. My friend Sherry Barbour brought over all her supplies from her days of soap making and I went wild. I love adding all the extras like fragrance, apricot scrub, dried lavender or rose, colors, opalescence. It's so quick and easy. Just melt the soap (pre bought at Michaels), add what you want, pour it in the mold and in an hour or so you pop out the soap.
I especially love the Oakland Temple mold. I will definitely make more of that one since I have so many memories there and that's where Brett and I were married.

Sunny Day Outing
My mom and I went to Jackson and Sutter Creek today. I just love the stores there. Everything is so quaint and small town. I found some great vintage toys and pictures while in Sutter Creek. We also found this amazing model railroad track with little buildings and bridges while in Jackson. The track went on forever, around and through buildings, over a creek... we can't believe we've never seen it before, but it had been there a while. There was no train running on it, so Bryson brought his own :)
