Ryder's Kindergarten Orientation

Today Ryder got to go to the school and see the classrooms, ride a bus, and meet the teachers. He had a fun time and is looking forward to starting elementary in the Fall. I am sad. :( I will miss my Ryder.

Mother's Day

How grateful I am for my own mom, my mother in law, and step mom. I am thankful for their love and example. I am thankful to be a mom myself and love the little kiddos. They (with a lot of help from my wonderful husband) made today very special. I am so grateful!

 

And here is a peek at these two cuties today....matchy matchy.

Annual Princess Party

 Each year when it is time for Father and Sons campout, we make sure we have our Princess Party! :) We invited several friends this year and had a great time !:)

Happy 3rd Birthday Kason!

Today my little cutie bear turned 3! We had a great Paw Patrol Birthday Party for him. He loved it! While I was making the cake over a few days, he always came back in and I held him up to see it and he just oohed and awed over it..he loved and appreciated it and surely will never forget it. Way worth all the effort I put in and then some! So glad to make my little guy happy! I love you Kason!

2014 DC Stars Invitational

Today was Jayda's home meet. It was fun. We volunteered the other 2 sessions to help out, and Jayda competed in one. I was lucky enough to be the announcer for the day. It was fun...and I had a front row seat all day to all the gymnasts...including Jayda. BEST JOB EVER. Jayda helped display and run scores to the head table. It was fun.

Jayda did well in the meet. She scored the best score she has ever had on the bars! :) She placed 5th in everything except Vault. (which she didn't place). Then she placed 5th all around! She did a great job!

The DC Stars Level 3 Team Placed 1st !!!!!

This was her last competition for the season. Next up is the State competition....we will see if she competes....it may be on Sunday. In that case, we won't.

But it has been a fun season for her and she has done very well for her first year. We will see what next year holds.

Great Job Jayda! We are proud of you!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cookies I made for the concession stand!

Easter

We always have our Easter bunny come on Saturday, to allow him to observe the Sabbath...and to help us remember Easter isn't about candy, but about the Savior. So the kids woke up to their Easter baskets this morning...Jace and Juliet didn't know much of what was going on, but they enjoyed their first suckers today and first candy and they loved it... a little too much.

 
 
 

 

As you can tell, Jace didn't quite make it into clothes today...and poor Juliet had a fever most of the day...probably teeth, so while scarfing down the jelly beans, she wasn't really into it. :(

We had our friends, The Heatons, over for an Easter egg hunt, dinner, and games. It was a fun day and the weather was bearable. The sun was out, but it was a bit windy.

 

We had a fun day and are excited to focus on the Savior tomorrow. Sienna is giving a talk in Primary about Easter tomorrow and she wrote it all by herself. I will be sure to take a picture of her written talk and post it...she did such a good job.

 

I was giving her ideas what to write about and as I was telling her to end her talk about why the Resurrection was important, that is allows everyone to receive a perfect body. We talked about how all our friends and family who have hearing problems, austistic problems, and so many others, will be made whole, the Spirit was so strong. It touched my heart and I felt the pure love of Christ for so many people I know that need it...and who  will be whole one day, I almost teared up. What a blessing it is that Christ was willing to sacrifice himself for us. That we are made up of so much more than just what we are on this earth. We are eternal children of God and can be just as Christ was, resurrected and our bodies perfected. Whether everyone believes that or not is another story, but it doesn't make it less true. The Savior lives. Because He lives, so shall we.
