Easter Pics... a little late!

So... I lost the adapter for my camera to make the pictures from it go on my computer. How annoying. So now I have to take my camera to the store and make a CD. I'm so bugged. I went to Wal-Mart to see if they had an adapter for my camera and they didn't. Anyway, here's a few pictures from Easter. I tried to get one of Josie and Jonah before they went to church in their new clothes, but all the pictures turned out fuzzy. I think I just need a new camera!

Laughter is timeless... imagination has no age... and dreams are forever.

These are a few pictures that make me laugh. Josie with her little teeth eating crackers in her high chair, Jonah with his buddies playing Ninja Turtles, and Josie's funny way of sleeping in her crib with her little legs poking through the rails.

YOU ARE MY "I LOVE YOU"
I am your parent, you are my child.
I am your quiet place, you are my Wild.
I am your calm face, you are my giggle.
I am your wait, you are my wiggle.
I am your finish line, you are my race.
I am your praying hands, you are my saving grace.
I am your lullaby, you are my peek a boo.
I am your good night kiss,
You are my "I love you."

my fam-

It is so good to have a family that sticks together during hard times. We've had a few trials these past few months, and as we pull together and support eachother, I realize more every day how blessed I am to have them.

My oldest brother Kevin wrote a beautiful song that has been going through my mind for a while. The title is "On Bended Knee" and the words are perfect:

In prayer and deep sincerity, I come again on bended knee. This sweet communion makes me whole, Brings solace to my troubled soul. I daily learn humility In fervent prayer, on bended knee.

In former times, a faithful youth Appealed to God for light and truth. Where darkness and despair had been Came plain and precious truth again. Thus Joseph’s prayer amidst the trees Was answered while on bended knee.

And Jesus in Gethsemane Proved His eternal love for me. Atoning drops of blood were shed To save my soul from sin and death. “Thy will be done,” obediently The Savior prayed on bended knee.

He gently heals my aching heart. My loneliness and fear depart. The peace the Holy Spirit gives Is testimony that He lives. I feel my Father’s love for me When I’m in prayer on bended knee.

OUR VISIT TO ST. GEORGE

My 90 year old Grandad who lives in St. George had to have a serious surgery today. Last week, Jonah and I went with my mom to visit him. Jonah loves my Grandparent's house. They have this cool toy that races marbles. My Grandad made it... I even remember loving it when I was a kid. He makes so many cool things. You should see the beautiful shelf he made me for my house! I love it.

My Grandad also plays the harmonica when we visit, and Jonah loves it. Every time we leave, Jonah always asks us if he can have his own harmonica. My mom bought him his very own one and he plays it every day-it's pretty dang cute!

I love my Grandparents, and feel so lucky that they are still in my life so that my kids can know them too. We are praying that my Grandad will recover soon.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JONAH!

My sweet little Jonah is 4 years old today. He is so fun to be around and I just love being his mommy. We had a super fun party with our families on Saturday at Backyard Adventures. He had a TMNT cake and got tons of Ninja Turtle and Spiderman toys. I love Jonah with all of my heart and am so thankful he's my buddy.

Sledding on Grammy's hill-

My Mom had so much snow shoveled at her house that my Dad made a hill for the kids to slide down... sounds like a good idea, right? Well, Jonah didn't think so. He pouted and boobed until we got back in the car. I'll take a little bit of the blame- I forgot to bring Jonah's gloves, so he had to borrow some from Gramps and they were way too big. And I didn't think he would need his boots, so I didn't bring them either! Needless to say, it wasn't the funnest sledding trip in the world. Maybe we'll try it again before it melts.

VaLeNtInEs SwImMiNg PaRtY!

Our niece, Brooklyn, had her 3rd birthday on Valentines! We had such a fun time at her party. Brookie loves to swim, so we all went swimming on Valentines night and had a blast. I was super proud of Jonah for going down the huge slide- he was so brave. Josie loved the water, and loved chewing on the little rubber duckie Brookie gave her. We had an awesome night!
