April AZ Trip

We got to go to AZ to visit our much-missed families back in April.  Man we missed them!  We had fun eating lots of good food, having a second Easter, meeting new family members, visiting old friends, getting family pictures done, playing lots of May I, eating lots of good food!, going to a family reunion and mostly just enjoying our family.  We sure do love and miss our AZ family and are so grateful we got to go spend a few weeks with them.  We can't wait until the next trip!  (I really wish I would have been better about taking pictures- especially in Mesa:/  )

Be patient...

So apparently my computer decided to be attacked by some nasty virus so I'm having trouble uploading pictures and stuff like that.  Just when I was so gung-ho on getting my blog all updated and staying on top of it... ugh!!!  We are working on getting it fixed so please be patient with me and know that this time I'm not being a slacker:/

Let the updating begin...

Just a fun day at Genoa City Park sometime in the Spring.

My step-mom Rachelle came to visit us around Easter and it was so nice to have her here.  Baily was on Cloud 9 to have Grandma Rachelle make a special visit to see her!  We had fun going to Chicago and celebrating Easter with her:)

We had a nice Easter- we watched General Conference and the kids loved getting their baskets and hunting for eggs.  Then my dad & fam came over to our house for a nice Easter dinner complete with ham and all the fixin's that I prepared as well as Patty's traditional Easter Bunny cake.  It was a very nice Easter:)

Good Things to Come

This is just what I needed to hear right now. I can so relate to this young family. I'm so grateful for this message!

My Little Ar-teest

Lately, Baily's favorite thing to do is draw or color.  She's gotten so good.  Robert has some artistic talent and some of my cousins and Uncle on my mom's side do too so that must be where she gets it from- definitely not from me.  Anyway- I love her art and I think it's just awesome.  We submitted the caterpillar picture to the Friend magazine and are hoping it gets printed.  She asked me how to spell "caterpillar" so she could label her drawing but apparently she ran out of room so she had to add the last letters to the first part of the word.  It's priceless;)  Enjoy!!
