Life is Good: March 2008

Easter Sunday

These pics are not in order, but this is the eating of the chocolate bunnies they had been waiting for all during church. They attacked quite viciously right when we got home. Those poor rabbits never had a chance!!

Easter is always so fun for a little girl. Sarah made quite the transformation if you notice in the earlier picture with their Easter baskets. She was quite the little princess-just look at those little gloves. Oh to be little.

My little Easter darlings all adorned in their light blue. Daddy and Mommy even matched, but didn't have time before church to set up the camera to take a picture of all of us.

First thing Easter Morn.

Easter Saturday

Easter weekend is always so nice. I love that my bulbs are coming up signifying the very importance of this holiday--new life. On Saturday we participated in a street egg hunt ( only about 10 kids). It was really nice and mellow and I think the kids enjoyed it being so layed back. It was a little chilly, but that wouldn't stop the festivities. After that, Sarah went to her best friends princess birthday party and had a blast. We cleaned up in the yard a little bit, visited with Ryans sister and the Memmotts and then attended a birthday party for their son Ryker. I went home and Ryan went with Shane to see the movie 10000b.c.--he doesn't recommend it.

Seths Birthday

Seth's 8th Birthday

I can't believe I have an 8 year old, but it is true and I love my little "Sefee" so much. I love that he gets so excited about holidays and birthdays. He wanted to open a present first thing in the morning, so I let him and he got the new Super Mario Bros. Brawl game for the Wii and a video game t-shirt from Easton to go with it. He got Krispy Kreme donuts for breakfast ( his favorite), buffalo chicken shakers from Arby's for lunch, and Little Ceasars pizza for dinner. ( I know my child is so healthy its scary). After I got home from Sarahs dance lessons we celebrated with venus fly trap dirt dessert and a couple more presents. All in all I think he had a great day. His baptism will be even better, and we also told him we would take him to a quarry to dig for fossils in April. What a great, cute, special little guy. We all love him so much.

My Little Dancer

Sarah has now been in a combination dance class for 2 months and she loves it!! On the 15th of March she had her dance pictures and I just wanted to share them with everyone because of course I think they're so cute!

March Madness....

and I'm not talking about basketball!! Starting on The 10th my kids had swim lessons every weekday for two weeks. It wouldn't have been that bad except it was extremely hot inside the Legacy Center Pool area (at least for a big pregnant woman) and Sarah had to sit with me every day bored and wanting to get in the water. I endured the daily battle because it would be worth the near $80 I had spent to put them in--right--wrong. They tried their best, but both of my boys will be repeating level 2. I think I will be doing private lessons from now on so that they actually get 30 min. of individual attention instead of the 5min. they actually spent with the teacher at the public pool. well-you live you learn right!!!

Addie's Baby Blessing

On March 2nd we attended the blessing of Carrie and Brandons little Addie-What a doll. It was so special and she was beautiful of course. It was also nice to see family and friends again and catch up!! We took the kids up to the Lodge in Twin falls to let them tube in all that wonderful snow and they also had a blast swimming at our hotel. It was a really fun weekend.

February

Let's just say February kept me on my toes with my church callings. I cooked over 50 sausage links for a Visiting Teaching conference and 40 lbs of chicken for the scout blue and gold banquet. Thank goodness I have a wonderful husband who helped with all of it. They were both a huge success. Speaking of Ryan, he also played the part of Ammon at a Primary Activity Day on the 23rd.
