356 days to be grateful!

Today I'm grateful for a loving Heavenly father who knows my every need, no matter how inconsequential it may seem. I watch his hand touch every part of my life. I grew up with many dreams of who I wanted to be and how I wanted my life to go, The Lord has blessed me beyond anything I could have fathomed for myself or my family.

Day 1

Thankful

Blessing Easter Sunday 2010

M. was blessed Easter Sunday. We were able to fit it in while our family was in town for conference, what a blessing it was to have them here. My sister in law made M. the most beautiful dress, thanks so much! I'm so grateful for the opportunity's we have in our church, that bring us closer to the Savoir. There is nothing like watching a baby be held and bounced by so many representing our Heavenly Father.

Some how we were lucky enough to get a picture of everyone that came!!

K. turned five

K. had the best pirate birthday party ever!! Thanks again to my very talented sister in law:) K. was so excitted to have his cousin's from California here for his Birthday.

I cannot believe he will be going to kindergarden this year!! Time is going by to quickly, I swear I just had him yesterday:(

K. is such a kind and considerate boy, He is so sweet to his baby sister, I'm afraid he might actualy kiss her cheeks right off! He is silly and has no limit to his imagination, he loves creating names for himself and does not hesitate to remind me that he is not K. he is "Astro Boy"

Love you puppy!!!

Sunlight

We couldn't take the cold anymore, so we took a quick trip to St. George.

Ate a little chinese, shopped and swam.

The 70 degrees was well needed!

Nothing like the sun and family time!!

I wish it was warm where we live:(

Valentine's

We had a great Valentines this year!!

K. was so excited about his Wolverine Valentines.

He Is trying so hard to write his name, this was great practice.

I love helping the kids with there Valentines, it brings back such great memories for me.

The girls loved helping their dad with their Valentine's boxes. I love that Ry is so computer savvy:)

C. insisted on wearing a dress to school, so much for not being a girly girl!!

C. with her loot!

Hope you all had a great Valentines!!!

Doing well

We are all adjusting well to the newest addition to our broad. Ryan has helped so much and the other children are obliged to hold her or kiss her at any time. The boys won't stop kissing the poor thing. When I ask K. to lay off the kisses for a while, he tells me "but she's so cute mom". How can you get mad at that!

We have had our share of illness in the last little while, strep, stomach bug and a nice cold. Due to the (above said Kisses) Baby M. now has a stuffy nose and cough, poor baby:( I hope she will get better soon.

C. Just started gymnastics and loves it!! It is nice to have found something for her that she loves and is sticking to.

L. Started piano lessons. We do not own a piano and are traveling a few miles to my mom’s house to practice.

K. Is attending preschool and realizing the benefits of having friends to play with every day.

R. Is busy, busy, need I say more!

M. Is smiling more and cooing.

Ry. is working hard and trying to find time to play guitar. (I cannot imagine why it is so hard to find time).

As for me, I'm trying to balance our busy life one day at time.
