The big 30!

The big birthday has come and gone-these are the best presents I could have asked for!!

Bedhead

Our Gymnast

This is how our little gymnast ate her breakfast yesterday. All I can say is...ouch!

Saturday

Yesterday was so nice! I had the entire day off-well, almost. I had a service project with the youth first thing in the morning-then I had the entire day off. Yesterday was our annual MS walk with Eric's company. His company is team Equalizer (in the red shirts). We participated last year and had a lot of fun. It was much easier this year with Tessa being a little older and no rain to soak us while we walked.

Gearing up for our walk

Tessa had to put her own sunscreen on-Miss Independent!

When we got home we had a busy afternoon. We cleaned the garage, cleaned our very dirty car and got our garden ready for planting. We are going to share a garden with our neighbors this year. We spent the afternoon pulling weeds and tilling the dirt. The kids LOVED spreading the "cow poop". Adam spent most of the afternoon searching for worms and found some big, juicy ones! Luckily our little neighbor girls love bugs just as much as he does. It felt good to get so much done!

Happy Spring!!!

Sunday Walk

The weather is finally warming up and we are loving it! We really wanted to go on a walk together last Sunday evening, so I got home from my meetings as fast as I could and we went for a nice stroll around the neighborhood. Tessa insisted on wearing the bunny ears and sunglasses. She keeps us laughing!

Birthday Bash

Ellie (the kids cousin) had a birthday party at Boondocks this week and the kids had a blast! They loved the arcade games and rides! We are even more excited to take them to Disneyland now!

The birthday girl!

The kids loved this roller coaster ride. Adam said he liked it although he looked terrified most of the time. Tessa finally had to climb on and was screaming at the top of her lungs! She loved it!

Adam LOVES to bowl! He was thrilled when he saw they had bowling!

Adam said he can't wait for Ellie to have another birthday!

Easter 2010

The kids had a fun Easter weekend! On Thursday we went to my parents for an egg hunt. Adam loved it and Tessa caught on really quickly!

Tessa and Aunt Katy. Yes, those are pearls around her neck. She is our girly girl!

Enjoying my April Fool's Day cupcakes

The kids colored eggs with Katy and Ben.

The kids got some fun things in their Easter baskets this year-including a stop sign for Adam. Every time someone asked Adam what the Easter Bunny was going to bring him, he would say a stop sign. He would explain that he needed one so when his cars and trains are playing they will know when to stop so they won't crash. He was thrilled that the Easter Bunny came through for him!

It was nice to spend time together as a family this weekend and listen to General Conference. It was such an amazing Conference and so many of my prayers for my family and for my young women were answered. I am so thankful for the gospel and for the knowledge that our family is forever! Happy Easter!!
