Easter 2010

We spent Easter in Ct. again this year with my sister and her family. The weather was beautiful(80s) so the kids were able to play outside most of the time. They all had pink cheeks. It was General Conference the same weekend which was wonderful because we got to listen to the prophet speak on the life of the Savior. It was really neat to remember the recurrection of the Savior while watching the earth come to life again.
The Easter bunny hid eggs outside for the kids to find, and they had a great time looking for them. It was great to share this time of year with family. They are ready for the hunt.






Cute kid,, hope he found enough eggs.















Candy for breakfast.





























L- wanted me to take a picture of her looking at her new watch.








Not sure what this look is?..









Showing off his muscles.

New York, New York

Of all the trips we have taken to New York this was by far the best! Now that the kids are older they enjoyed it almost as much as we did. First we went to the American Girl Store, then we went to dinner at a really nice restaurant "Ruth Chris" after we had time to kill so we walked around Time Square and Rockefeller Center, and then to the show at 8p to see "Wicked." the show was awesome! The whole experience was fun and relaxing! If you look close you will see the "Wicked" sign on the left.


It's the look of torture!! LOLThe guys were waiting for us while we shopped at the American Girl. This is a priceless moment!


My favorite picture of K- and L- crossing the street in New York City holding hands. It doesn't get any better than that!



The cousins being silly.



Sisterly love.




Me and my hubby!!





Sister and her Hubby!!






H- and L- having fun!






What a beautiful smile!

They have to do it everytime.


What handsome boys.



Dinner at Ruth Chris




Here is K- 44.00 dinner. But k- said it was the best steak he ever tasted!




Here is my 40.00 dinner. It was just the right amount.



Someday K- will smile in his pictures.





On our way to the show.

B- 10th Birthday

It was B- 10th Birthday on March 3rd. We had a family party for her, she had a Harry Potter cake because that's what she's into right now. She gets her big present when we all go to New York on April 1st to see "Wicked" and shop at the American Girl Store. I can't believe it!! I can remember her as a baby just yesterday. She has changed my life forever and we are soo grateful to have her as part of our family. One thing I love about B- is her sweet spirit, she always wants to do the right thing and loves to serve her family and others. We love you B- This is one of my favorite pictures of B-. She was 3 yrs old and we were living with my parents while hubby was over seas. I couldn't find her anywhere, and when I did she was ready to drink a few of these Root Beers and had chocolate all over her face. I asked " Have you been eating Chocolate?" And she answered "NOPE" I said "Are you sure? Still "NOPE" I asked "Then whats all over your face?" she said "I don't know" I thought it was soo funny that I took the picture. Whatever it was, it looks pretty good!

The Most Snow Ever!!

This has been one of the craziest and unusual winters I can remember here. We have had 6 snow days so far and that is not the end. This is the biggest snow fall so far this winter, at around 30inches of snow. Don't get me wrong I like to have a day off here and there but this is really out of control. I have really be missing my seminary kids, because with no school or delays there is no seminary. But the girls have been having a great time playing in it. I think we are all getting a little restless now. But we are having fun making memories anyways. The swing set!
K- is digging a trinch for the dog to do her business.


B- and friend playing.


The dog is trying to escape, it is pretty funny to watch her attempts at it.





L- loving the snow.











What cars?!



Queen of the snow mountain.







She was almost buried alive!











Friends






Glad I'm not in the dog house with Tiger Woods.












K- did a great job digging his truck out and even went for a spin.
