Easter Fun

We had lots of fun playing with Grams and Gramps during Easter break.  We haven't been up to their house since Christmas (yikes!), and it was so nice to see them again.  

 Bubby was pretty sure he could make a pretty egg too.  I love how hard he is working on coloring that egg.  

 Grams, D and cousin Ally dying easter eggs.

Grams, cousin Mallory and K dying eggs.

Cousins Kylie, Ally, baby Lily (behind the Dr. Pepper bottle) and Aunt Alane.  We had lots of fun coloring and dying eggs.  I forgot to get a pic of the finished product, but we had some really awesome eggs.  

 The kids looked great for Easter Sunday.  (Instructions found here here) Unfortunately, it seems to be impossible to get a nice picture of 3 kids.  I made K's dress and the boys bow ties.  I think they looked fantastic.

 While I was trying to get a pic of the kids, the sweet neighbor lady came over and took a family picture for us.  It is nice to have a picture with BOTH mom and dad in it.

 The kids had fun taking turns hiding and finding the eggs over and over again.  I am pretty sure they left a bunch for Gramps to find later.


 Bubby was pretty funny.  He collected a few eggs and put them in his bucket, then he decided to throw the rest.  The kid has a pretty good arm and throws pretty far.

In the end, it was more fun to play with Kirby.

We were so glad that we had the opportunity to play with Grams and Gramps and the rest of the family for the weekend.  Spending time with family is lots of fun.

Keep singing until the end of the song

Since my last post we lost 2 more precious babies.  On September 30, 2016 we lost our beautiful baby girl Felicity at 5 months.  Almost a year later, we found out we were expecting agin.  Sadly on Dec.1, 2017 we lost our little boy, Elijah.  I need to write their stories, but the feelings and emotions are still very raw and difficult.  While I hope to share them someday, today is not that day. Today is December 21, just a few more days until Christmas.  I LOVE Christmas.  The lights, smells, delicious food, family and friends, and especially the music.  I love to sing Christmas songs and look forward to it every year.  But this year it was hard to sing the songs I love so much.  This year singing about the miraculous birth brought sadness and even anger.  I have struggled to feel the Christmas Spirit. I imagine it is difficult to experience any loss during the Christmas season.  A holiday that focuses so much on family, fri...

Disneyland and California

Wow, what a fun adventure we had. It was a perfect vacation. Everything was fantastic, and we had a blast. Here is a quick little run down. (the pics are not in order, sorry). Here is the mandatory picture of the kids in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle. Just a cute picture of K up in a tree house on pirate island (formerly Tom Sawyer's island) One of the biggest highlights of the trip was D being chosen to participate in Jedi training camp. He was so excited he was actually shaking. It was AWESOME. He got to learn some Jedi moves from a Jedi master, and then he got to fight Darth Vader. It was really fun, he is still talking about it. Here we are on one of the Bug's Life rides in California Adventures. The highlight for K was seeing and talking to real princesses. She was nervous at first, but quickly warmed up. She was so cute and sweet, it almost made me cry (the 2 hr. wait in line cured me of any tears). She kept telling us how Belle had a dress "all the...

The joy of family pictures

Why is it so hard to get a good family picture.  I would be happy if everyone just looked at the camera.  Here are our latest pics. This was our best family picture.  As you will see, K did not want to cooperate.     Isn't that fun.  All the crying and the whining, and that was just Kent.   The kids and the dog took some cute pictures.   Kent and I did okay.  Together we were a mess.  By the way, this is the picture I ended up using to represent our family.  It seemed the most fitting.   Someday, (sigh) someday we will have a great family picture.
