Easter Joy

Easter was so wonderful.  We had 3 fabulous days with daddy and loved every minute of it.  Friday we work our tails off outside.  I love when we work together as a family.  Saturday the kids got their Easter baskets.  We went out to my parents place on 10 acres and went swimming, egg hunting, rode the 3-wheeler, played with air-soft guns, saw cousins, ate yummy food, and soaked up the sun.  They day was gorgeous.  Before we went to my parents house we sold grandpa's bunnies.  We started out with 13 fuzzy little things.  When it got down to one we just couldn't resist and took him home for us.  We named him Jack.  But should it turn out to be girl we are going with Jill.  Every last child can't get enough of him.














Last week was very exciting for our little family.  Jeremy applied for a position at work that would be a promotion about 2 months ago.  He had his interview and we have been waiting to hear.   Wednesday he was offered the position.  I am really proud of Jeremy and his hard work for our family.  He is a wonderful provider and money manager.  I have always know he would continue to progress at work with his abilities. He is a wonderful people person and really knows how to work with people and do the job efficiently.  I am really proud of him and who he is as a provider, father, and husband.  I love you Jeremy!

celebrating a new year

New Year's Eve at our house was amazing this year!
The kids had so much fun making decorations for our party.
We prepared food together, laughed, and played.
Jeremy and Hunter were gone for the day.
The party started when they arrived home.
We celebrated with New York at 10:00 our time.  Only two 
out of 6 feel asleep.  I was impressed.






















Each child set a goal for the year and then received a yummy chocolate bar.
They loved this idea!

Carlee's Goal- Finish her Faith in God (Can you believe she will be 12 this year??!!)
Loralie's Goal- To be Happy, Obedient, and Peaceful
Hunter's Goal- No fighting
Savanna's Goal- Be nice to everyone
Fisher's Goal- Learn how to play baseball

Christmas Surprise

We have some pretty neat kids around our house.  One night they all slipped down to the basement for a while together.  Carlee came up with a huge smile on her face and said she had a surprise for us.  I knew I needed my camera.  We were delighted to see all the kids working together in a reenactment of the Christmas Story.  They did a fantastic job!  I love the imaginations of kids.  They did not need fancy costumes or props.  They were quoting from the scriptures which made my day.  I love these sweet children that have blessed my life.

a new favorite

I've decided this is may favorite time of the day.
We all go downstairs to the basement.
We have family prayer and tuck all the kids in bed snug and warm.
Jeremy will read a chapter to us each night.
It is so relaxing to me to listen to him read.
We are all loving the book too.
What I love most is that it was Jeremy's idea.
A new family tradition that I am in love with!
