Tonight Wesley graduated from Seminary! Four years of religion classes! I know without a doubt that Seminary has helped to make him into the great kid that he is today. WE are so proud of you Wes! We love you!

Thanks to Braden and Rod for their perspective!

eaSTeR!

We had a great Easter. The little ones could hardly wait for the Easter Bunny to visit!!Following the string and collecting Easter Eggs in route to finding their present is so exciting...



Even the older boys participate and do not complain.
Although they may not have complained because they were still asleep!?!?!?



The Easter bunny was told not to bring too much candy this year. He didn't really follow instructions.



This is Halle's reaction when she found what the Bunny had left her!


The boys were suddenly awake when they saw what they received! (A PS3. The Easter Bunny was also told not to bring something so extravagant, but he ignored those instructions also!)Halle was all set in the Bieber department! Parker loves anything cars related!




It is almost impossible to get the whole family together before church for a picture. I guess I'll take what I can get. Halle just insisted on a picture with her Dad. She was not happy that Parker had to get in the picture.


If Halle gets one with Dad, then so does Parker! (Who am I? Chopped liver?!?!)

The Cousins came over to have an Easter Egg hunt. We are so glad that we have kids in our family that are the same age as Parker and Halle.





Such a fun Easter Sunday!!

HEE HAWS!!

This past month Parker got the chance to go to Hee Haws TWICE! One of the days I was able to join with him. It was so fun and a great opportunity for him to see the animals and baby animals. He even got to go on a hay ride!

I am so grateful to have opportunities to spend special times like this with Parker. He is such a sweet kid!

Connor's Bday!

Today is the day to get caught up! Connor's Birthday was low-key and I loved it! It was great to have just my family together. We skipped dance and Lacrosse was canceled, so we just enjoyed yummy food and hanging out together. Connor is definitely my child who keeps me on my toes! I am often wondering where he is, who he is with, and what he is doing! I have many grey hairs thanks to him! But.... Connor also brings me such joy. I love to hear him sing or play the piano. I love to watch him play sports. I laugh at the times that I am in a crowd and I can hear him over everyone else! He may be loud and a little obnoxious at times, but he is great fun to have in our family. Connor, I hope that your year is fabulous and that all your wishes come true!!!

Crazy Hair Day!

So it's been a little while, but I thought I'd post a pic from Crazy Hair day!



This is what we could come up with on short notice, when we remembered it was crazy hair day right before we had to leave! Nice look Halle!
