Playing Catch up!

So Just going to play a little catch up before we leave this weekend for Minnesota, I don't want to have that trip plus a bunch of other pics to post.





My Friend Lauren and her adorable daughter Georgia. We went to our local Tractor Supply to look at the cute bunny's, and chicks, and ducks! They were adorable! They Ended up getting that Grey one in the picture, and her son named it Easter! Too cute! Reece LOVED them! Braeden not so much, he didn't like that they scratch! lol he is too funny!





























A visit in Dallas with my Friend Stormi. Her hubby was out of town for work so the kids and I headed down to hang out for a few days! Its always fun, and the kids get along great!


Stormi's 3 on the left, Sydney her 4 yr. old and the twins Mason and Mackenzie, who are 18 months ish.



the 3 older ones pretending to take a nap so the babies wouldn't be sad when they went down!









Having fun dressing up in Dallas! Reece is such a hoot!





After we got home from Dallas the next day, they both crashed out on the couches, too funny!














Ross and I heading out on a Date












Heading back down to Dallas this last weekend for Sydneys 4th B-day! How did Spider man get in my back seat?


















The cake that Stormi MADE Yes MADE!
It even had 3-d curls in her hair, too cute! And she thinks she isn't crafty! Riiight!















Kim, and Reece before the bday Party














Stormi and I









SOCCER TIME AGAIN!
Its actually been going on for a few months now! Braeden once again this year hasn't been too interested, but he scored his first goal at his last game, and I think he really liked that!





He is in the blue Jersey with the Red Socks















Reece playing with a puppy at half time.














Braeden giving his coach a high five after he scored!





























































Ok so here is Braedens scoring his first goal, although he is cut out of the picture! That's not him, hey at least I got the ball, it happened so fast, that's the best I could do!













Here he is with his hands in mouth happy with him self while Everyone is yelling Good Job Braeden! I Think he was a little embarrassed, at least the hands go in the mouth when he is??








































Ok so I spent like 4 days straight with the help of my Amazing friend Nichole re landscaping my front yard! It was lots of work but sooo worth it! I failed to take before pictures, so there are only after, so those of you who have seen my front yard can appreciate it! lol I love love love it, did I mention love? Thanks Nichole!

Easter 2009

Coloring Easter eggs! Ross, my dear OCD Husband, bless his heart! haha He was borderline going to snap the whole time, it was pretty funny! And he is so "Engineer" about it too! Like perfectly measuring each cup with exactly 5 oz. of water each, and each egg had to sit in the water for 5 min. each to get the best color results! lol Really?? You think a 4 yr. old and a 2 yr. old have that kind of patience?? haha it was pretty funny! This kit that I got for coloring eggs was cute, there was these little silly face stickers the kids got to put on the eggs. Good times! :)












































We had a wonderful Easter this year, even though we spent it with just us, no family this year. It was a busy weekend. Saturday our friends invited us to a big Easter egg hunt up in the city that they go to every year. It was at the Police and Fireman training center, and it was a big to do! There was a ton of people there, they had bouncers for the kids, the police horse's, the police helicopter, a toy raffle for the kids. They also had free snacks, popcorn, Cotton candy, snow cones, soda etc! It was so fun, and the kids had a blast! Reece actually won a baby alive in the toy raffle! That was a fun way to spend our Saturday before Easter!
















Reece, Ausin( Braedens buddy) and Braeden in the back











































The Easter bunny started the Easter egg hunt!

Reece just walked casually over and picked up 2 eggs and that was enough for her! lol























































Checking out the police helicopter

















I won!
















pooped on the way home! The Egg hunt didnt start until 2 in the afternoon, right when she usually naps!
















Easter Sunday was wonderful, and the spirit was sooo strong! My friend had a special Easter lesson she was teaching the Young Women, and had numerous musical numbers featuring Christ of course, and scriptural readings in between the musical numbers. I sang, I heard him come, which is a beautiful song about Christ and his life. There were many beautiful songs performed, and it was a very spiritual lesson! I was so excited I got to be apart of her special Lesson about Christ, his wonderful life, great atoning sacrifice, and the knowledge of his wonderful Resurrection! What a blessing to have that knowledge!



I know that my Redeemer lives, what comfort this sweet sentence gives, he lives, he lives who once was dead, he lives, my ever living head! ( verse from one of my favorite hymns "I know that My Redeemer lives")http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAJYMK0dy8M check out this video of the beautiful Hymn about our Savior. Oh and of course my absolute favorite, Reflections of Christ, click on the picture of Christ at the top right of my blog! ;) Enjoy!




It was nice to have a break from Primary, I know that sounds bad, but I needed some enrichment myself! ;)









just got home from Church, we normally get Easter baskets in the morning. But since Church is at 9 am, and I had to be there Early that day, I had to practice with the Choir, and Practice for the song I sang in Young Women's. So we did baskets after church, and tried to get some pictures after Church as well!
