Happy Easter to all!

We've enjoyed a great Easter weekend. We are so grateful, especially today, for our Savior and his Atonement for us. I was uplifted today and learned so much from our meetings at church. I hope the spirit we felt carries on through the week.

Besides that today was filled with lots of junk food:


Besides the pita chips and hummus it was all cookies, ice cream, candy and chocolate.

Although we ate dinner at some friends house and tried, for the first time, lamb. We all liked it and are now

considering "growing" our very own.

We had an Easter egg hunt with our neighbors and had a great time finding eggs hidden in the grass. There

really wasn't much choice...it's a pretty barren landscape!


Carl especially enjoyed the hunt. Even from his 4 foot leash...


Trevor and I snuck into this blog post to say "HAPPY EASTER!" (and to point out that he's so handsome).


Stephen received a drawing pad and supplies today and this is the portrait he drew of Annabelle tonight

while watching Rocky as a family:


(Contrary to what it appears, those round things on her chest are actually the flowers from her shirt and not boobs. And yes, her finger is up her nose. Not too bad of a drawing if you ask me. Although I laughed really hard until he explained the flowers to me...)

Needless to say it's been a fantastic Easter and we were so happy to spend time together as a family. I've

said it before and I'll say it again: Monday always comes around way too fast...

Haha! I love that picture Stephen drew. We have a picture riley drew at about that age with actual nipples. Totally reminds me of it. Looks like you guys had a great Easter! I really miss the egg hunts with all the cousins.

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

Ralph the dog.

Morning at my house is so bright and lovely~that is, as long as it's not snowing or preparing to snow. I made Annabelle open the curtains first thing this morning. When my mornings start out like this, warm and bright, it just makes me happy. Today Joshua decided to be a dog. A dog named Ralph. And Ralph loves raspberry sherbet. Ralph got really tired and is now resting while watching Shrek 2. Not my favorite movie but whatever... I think I misspoke yesterday when I wrote that I/we had big decisions to make. There's nothing out of the ordinary except for, you know, the usual. And the fact that we found out yesterday that both girls need braces; Emily now or at least soon and Annabelle in a year or so. And Stephen has possibly two developing cavities. At this moment in time, I am very, extremely, incredibly grateful for dental insurance. That may not be the case in a few months but I'm not thinking about that...and I'm trying to no...
