Create

Totally inspiring, Dieter F. Uchtdorf is so amazing. It is so nice to hear uplifting words. As a lover of crafts, sometimes I wonder "why am i making this? will someone even like it? It's not even perfect. ect. " So it is good to have a reminder that the greatest thing i have made is my children!!! And that making me was unique too.

I feel ok that my blankets come second to my beautiful boys!!!

Just what i needed today.

( p.s. pause the music. )

Friends!

Friends are siblings god forgot to give us.
Lately i have been realizing how important friends really are. As women we need each other. It is so nice to talk on the phone, vent, cry, laugh, make fun of ourselves, cry, talk about body parts we would like to change, cry, have late movie nights when our kids are asleep and everything that comes with friends. (if you can't tell i cry alot)
When we moved away from Logan i was very nervous about making new friends. I left some wonderful friends in logan, and i was so scared to leave alone without them.
but thankfully I have met some of the greatest, most giving people down here.
It's also fun to rekindle friendships that had a rift. We were so dumb in high school, thank goodness we grow and learn. I do cherish the friendships that have survived since highschool and i wish dearly I lived closer. It's fun to talk about old times and laugh too.
It's also interesting to me what brings new friends; Hobbies, Neighbors, friends of friends, Extended family members, Children, Bloggs, church, Someone you used to go to school with but never talked too ect... Whichever way I've met my friends, i am so greatful.
Life is crazyand super hard at times and it throws you lots of curved bumpy paths, but when I am having hard times those true friends are the ones that catch your tears and comfort you. Thanks to those who have been there for me.

75 degree weather + animals= fun!


So Blake had to go and do some work on a church in St. George so we tagged along. As you can see I had the boys in jackets but when we got there it was PERFECT weather.






Bently had this facination of these rocks. Afterwards we got some lunch then we decided to go to

the Wildlife Museum.


Wow!!


They gave him these binoculars and he was freaking out!!Look at that face.



I didn't know how bently would react but he was really excited and really into it.



There was this adorable, play room. Blake and Brody had a blast.



I knew this moment in my life was coming but I was not ready for it this early.



Blake was peeing his pants. I think if he shot a deer like this he would

want it to move inside our house.

This is for you Caprice.

And the bug room. Brody was very excited. Kinda freaky though. Look at that bat. gross.
anyway it was the best weather down there and after all the sickness in this house it was a much needed get out. I was really impressed with the museum. I thought it would only have utah animals but it has everything. They even had a giraffe that was taxidermied (sp? even a word?) anyway great weekend. now the temp need to warm up at home.

Easter Bliss


Our easter was great!! On Saturday morning, I heard brody wake up and say, "oh my gosh the easter bunny left this" in a half whisper. Then he came in our room and said "mom look what I found!!" (an egg) I said wow and we went and got bently. Then we went in the living room and they found their loot.

Brody's


Bently's



After they played for a while we left to go to town. We went to Cal Ranch and saw the chicks. that was all that was left everything else was sold. crazy huh.

Then we went to Home Depo,

and then Walmart .
Funniest thing at Walmart.
When we were standing in line waiting to check out... Bently started fussing so blake put him down and i am not kidding you he took off. First let me explain something, bently has this thing for stuffed animals. Ever since he was really little, so wouldn't you know he was booking it for this giant stuffed animal. Yep The Easter Bunny!! It was so cute. he was saying "hi hi bla bla" And giggling. I bet everyone thought i was crazy for taking pictures. But it was so random and so cute!


So after that we headed home. For some reason or another on Friday brody had this high high fever. so he was kind of still on the outs, so after all the festivities we came home and both bent and brody slept. It was such a great day. not the weather so much but the kids had fun and it was just really great family time. On Sunday I went to nursery alone and the boys stayed with blake at home. then we went for a ride took a couple of naps and played outside. We missed family events, tayson's bday and seeing everyone. But really it was so nice to play low key and be together. When a holiday is focused on something so special and meaningful it is nice to reflect and be together. We missed everyone and hope you all had a great easter.

Pulling my hair out...

Ok so i am about ready to freak. I haven't had my computer for a week and a half. Got it back yesterday... yay. BUT now getting the internet to go wireless has been a thorn in my foot. I want to scream. Why can't things just work. The internet people tell me it is a defective router or cord. what in the world. Lesson learned be greatful when things work. Just needed to vent. ps are you wondering why no pictures..... yeah they ALL had to get deleted from this computer, and i have to upload the program to get my pics off my camera. uggh
