Easter 2012

It's hard to believe that Good Friday looked like this because Easter Sunday was an absolutely beautiful day! By Saturday afternoon the snow had melted. The three little girls below sure did have fun finding their Easter baskets. ( My big girls had fun looking for theirs too!)

Me and my sweetheart:)

Below is the family minus my handsome son in law Joel who wasn't feeling well. Most of Miss E's face does not show. I have fired the photographer. ha ha

We had a good day attending church where we had a sweet Sacrament meeting celebrating the Resurrection of our Savior. I loved the family time together where we hunted for Easter eggs and Easter bags and baskets and enjoyed a good meal together. I'm grateful for Easter!

Dance Party and Spring

I was tending grandkids today and Annie put music on for them to dance to. It became a real party as they wiggled out to I'm Sexy And I Know It. I should have gotten a video instead of pictures. It would have captured the moves better but oh well. They are pretty cute!

I just love it when the flowers below start to bloom because that means Spring is here! The Daffodils are also blooming and the Tulips are getting ready to also. So far no Deer have eaten the Tulips. Maybe that's because we have had such beautiful weather and they can find food else where. Anyway I'm hoping our tulips survive this year. I just have to say how much I loved Conference and the many wonderful messages that were given. I felt so many of them were talking directly to me. Me and my daughters minus Annie (who was working) and one lucky granddaughter had a fun dinner together while our guys were at the Priesthood session of Conference. I loved visiting and spending time with them! It was a good weekend!

This Cracked Me Up!

Yesterday I walked into my daughters bedroom looking for her. Instead of finding the daughter I was looking for I found another daughter and two granddaughters ages 19 yrs., 5 yrs. and 17 months. All three were laying on her bed, each one totally zoned out on electronic devices. It just cracked me up! I laughed so hard. I decided I needed to share it. I guess technology knows no age limit.

St. Patricks, Texas Friends, Indoor Football, ETC.

The mint brownies and rainbow with the gold below it were gifts my girls got on St. Patrick's Day. We all wore green and ate green food, and watched a cute St. Patrick's Day movie that was on the Hallmark Channel. Alyse went to a St. Patrick's party that some dear friends from Texas who were in town were having. She loved seeing and visiting with them all!

On St. Patrick's Day night we attended the indoor football game of the handsome young man below. He has traded in his basket ball for a football once again. We loved watching #42!

He's in the center of the green team below. The tallest one.

Alyse has had fun going to the Aquarium and Planetarium. She was nice enough to take a couple of her nieces and nephews last week. That made tending easy for me! Thanks Alyse.

The cute girl in the center of the picture below has just returned from her mission. We all enjoyed her mission report so much. She is a dear friend of Alyse's and her family used to live across the street from us. It was so good to see her and her whole family!

Happy Birthday Andrew!

It is hard to believe but the cute little guy below is all grown up and a husband and dad now. Time is so interesting it just flies by. Andrew celebrated another birthday last week. The family all gathered on Sunday to celebrate his birthday with him. We had a fun party with a St. Patricks day theme.

Below is me with my baby boy.

Happy Birthday Andrew we all wish you a very happy, prosperous year!

Lunch With an Old Friend

Julie and I met back in St. Louis while our husbands were attending dental school together. We became good friends and have remained friends over many years. She just celebrated a birthday and we had fun celebrating together over lunch. We haven't taken a picture together in forever and thought it was time to do that. I am grateful to have her for a friend.

Cousin Love and Soccer

Warren is back to playing indoor soccer. We were able to attend his game on Sat. and enjoyed watching him play! He is a good little player. Below he gives his cousin Kaitlyn a hug at half time.

Westi and Kaitie had their own little soccer game going on, on the sidelines. They were so cute!

Warren made 3 or 4 goals I lost count. Good job!
The two below love each other so much they are always excited to see each other and give each other a hug and kiss. They are so fun to watch.

They bring a lot of joy to my life!
