Egg-Day

Had a really nice experience explaining the resurrection to Cooper today. Then the boys were so cute finding Eggs in the backyard.

Jacks figured out he could get the eggs open by biting half of it and pulling them apart.

Now Taking Bids.....

Going

GONE

Jacks crashed really fast in the car after the wedding.  Which we were grateful for because he HATES the car. Of course 7 hours in the car is enough to make anyone (mommy) cry, really.

A Wedding

Saturday, we Hopped, Skipped and jumped, (sorry couldn't help a little Bunny related humor) up to my parents house for my little brothers wedding.

All 3 of my boys were so Handsome!

My Nieces and Nephew were dressed to a TEE!

My brother-in-law Clay is hilarious

And Jacks was NOT impressed with my Grandmother!! 

Even though he has her blue eyes!!

(sorry for the horrible pictures, but fluorescent lighting Sucks!)

Green with Envy...

 

 

 

Aren't they Minty Green Deliciousness?!?

On Saturday we went out to dinner with friends and then hung out in Ancestor square. The kids were so cute running (and crawling) around. Coop loves his friend Karlyn and we will be so sad to see them move at the end of the month

"Call me Ishmael...."

I tried to do it alone....

The search for the unattainable

My "White Whale".........

Standing Boy

Jacks stood all by himself on Wednesday 4-13.  Nick and Coop were at Scouts and I took a lot of pictures trying to capture "the proof", which is not very convincing because you can only see half of him....but  he was not holding on to ANYTHING....YEAH

F.H.E 4/10/2011

Today we went to the Temple Grounds for FHE.

 Coop Just LOVES "Jesus' House"

 Jacks crawled around and around this column, 

in the visitors center, for several minutes.

The boys sure had fun and it was a really nice family outing

Things that are making me happy today...

This Face, 

Those eyes, 

That smile that lights up the room.

My Elliptical, and GLEE Season 1....

Goodbye Jack Fat!!!

Things that are upsetting me tonight

#1 Nick working until one in the morning for the past two nights and taking the scouts camping tonight.
#2 Coopers soccer being cancelled...again.
#3 The new "Ultra Special" whiny voice Cooper has decided to use...all the time.
#4 The best neighbors ever being told they only have 15 days to move.
#5 Having to cover my garden so the frost doesn't kill it tonight.

But because I have been striving to be a glass half full kind of girl:

#1 I have an amazing Husband who works really hard and fulfills his priesthood obligations.
#2 Now soccer will go farther into the summer and it will feel like the season is longer!
#3 The way Coop holds up his hand in the I Love You sign and wiggles each finger in turn saying I Love You.
#4 I have had amazing and spectacular neighbors for 2 years and have learned so much from them.
#5 I live in a location that allows me to plant my garden in March and we will be enjoying (hopefully) the "fruit" of our labors mid May.
PLUS
Only 6 more weeks of School!!!
