Photo Shoot!

While we were in Utah for my graduation Aunt Lisa had the awesome idea of having the four boys (Jake, Brayden, Logan, and cousin Cohen) photographed. Aunt Lisa and Grammy took them to Skye, a wonderful photographer that Lisa knows, and they captured these angels on film. It certainly wasn't easy, there were more than a few tears (mostly from Logan), but in the end I think it was a success. See for yourself!

Thank you

Well it's 4:30 am, and I'n not gonna lie. I am feeling rough. I am guessing that this is what a bad hangover feels like, although I don't really know, I am hoping to feel like a new woman (off of pain meds) by this time next week. Until then, thanks for putting up with my delirium. I feel so blessed for the outpouring of love we have received from family, neighbors, and friends. I just wish Chris wasn't leaving town today. I am nervous about being on my own. I am off to take a real shower now,before anyone wakes up. Wish me luck! My sincerest thanks for all of your love and support!

Spring Gardening

One of our favorite Spring activities is planting our garden. We enjoy planting the little garden in our backyard, as well as helping Papa plant his garden. This year we planted six kinds of tomatoes, several types of peppers, snow peas, strawberries, acorn squash, and cucumbers. We are still looking for a few more things to plant. It is so amazing to watch the little plants grow and produce fruit. What an awesome reminder of the incredible creation of our Earth! I am so thankful for all of the beautiful things our Father in Heaven has blessed us with. What a miraculous process it is to watch plants bloom and grow. I am reminded of the incredible process we each go through. I feel so thankful to be blessed with the opportunity to watch my children bloom and grow. I hope I can "nourish" them well. Happy Spring!

At Last!!!!!!!!!!!

Hangin out at the wilkinson center

My hips still fit through the "co-ed" statue. Thank goodness!







We just returned from a wonderful weekend in Provo Utah. Yes, I said Provo Utah, and it was the trip of my dreams! How can Provo Utah be the trip of ones dreams you ask? Because after starting my college education 13 years ago I have finally graduated from BYU. A long awaited dream come true. I have about a zillion and one pictures to post, but for now I will include the traditional cougar picture, plus some of our family on campus. The rest will follow soon!

Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday is definitely one of my favorite days of the year. Dying Easter eggs, and Easter egg hunts are fun, but when Sunday comes we put all of that aside and think of our Savior. I love the feeling of renewal that I always feel on Easter Sunday. Renewed hope for the future, and renewed faith in Jesus Christ. I love dressing the boys in new Easter duds, and then explaining why wearing something new in the colors of Spring can remind them of Christs resurrection. I love going to church and hearing the music of Easter, and feeling the sense of sadness at Christs death followed by the sense of peace that comes as I contemplate His resurrection. I love Easter Sunday! I hope that yours was as wonderful as ours.
