Happy Easter
Today was a great day. Can't believe I didn't even take one picture today. Well actually I can believe it because I'm forgetful like that. These are pictures from a few weeks ago
The girls were excited to see their surprises from the Easter Bunny...Sidewalk chalk,
bouncy balls, Hannah Montana the movie and a heap of candy.
I didn't limit their intake of candy for awhile, but it was getting a little out of hand.
It was great to watch and listen to General Conference. The girls were actually really good at coloring, and playing together and I actually was able to hear a lot of the talks, except for the times I dozed off. oops.
Such amazing men and women.
I definately felt inspired to be better and do better. To be a better wife and mother, to do the things that matter most.
We also had a delicious dinner at Mom and Dad's and of course the annual Easter egg hunt. Hallie made out with the most money coming in at $13.50. She was thrilled of course and plans on using it for the ice cream truck. It was great to be together.
Most of all it was a great day to think of the Savior, my Savior.
His life, His Atoning sacrifice, and His Ressurection.
How I love Him and know that He lives!
I'm so thankful for His love. I feel it all around me.
In the beautiful world that surrounds me, the turning over from winter to spring,
the smiling faces of Hallie and Sadie,
and
in kind and loving friends and family.
Happy Easter!

My teeth are sprouting!
Last night Hallie woke up a few times, which is pretty rare for her. She came into bed with us and told me that her tooth hurt. I thought maybe she had a loose tooth. In the morning she told me that her mouth felt funny so when I took a look inside sure enough there was something going on in there. Her six year molars were starting to break through! When I told her, she got so excited and ran into the bathroom to see for herself and exclaimed, "My teeth are sprouting!" For the rest of the day she kept saying, " I can feel them sprouting up just like flowers!"

What's going on today?
A little of this and a little of that. That's what.
Playing Barbies with this girl
Time for Barbie to go to school.
Big messes in the basement
Trying to prepare my lesson for Young Womens on Sunday.
Naptime under the rug
And a whole lot of this. Yuck! I don't mind washing the clothes, it's just that folding part. I havn't folded the clothes for over a week!
Since I'm trying to make my blog more of a journal for me, I need to write some of the things that they girls have said lately before I forget...
The other day we were at lunch at Wendy's and I don't remember what Jake said to Sadie, but she replied, "Dad, are you kidding me?"
Now she says it all the time. She also loves to call me a "silly goosie".
She's been going to Early Intervention this year. My good friend works there and invited Sadie to be a "peer tutor" (funny). She loves going and having something to talk about and look forward to. A couple weeks ago they were learning about the letter "B" and the buh buh buh sound. So now she'll say words and put the buh buh buh sound with it. Like she'll say, "buh buh Halllie", "buh buh Mommy". It's really cute.
Hallie is loving school as well and is reading so well. I'm so amazed at how fast she has caught on to reading. It's really cool to see her make out the words.
Last night, when I was putting her to bed, she said, "Do you know what my favorite thing to do is Mom? To be with you. Sometimes when I'm at school I miss you."
My heart melted.
I love how kids say exactly what they feel and there's no holding back. Their hearts are pure and filled with so much love that is unconditional. I learn so much from them and feel so blessed to be able to be their mother. There really is no other joy that can compare. Yes, it is hard work and exhausting day in and day out, but it so worth it.
