Away to Idaho they go!

It's all gone

On Saturday we finally did it. I gave Fisher his first haircut. He sat in my bathroom sink wrapped in a towel. He was actually pretty good. I bought these tiny electric trimmers that worked perfect. He will be 11 months on the 17th and I can't believe it. And I am proud to announce that he is FINALLY sleeping through the night. It may not seem big to you, but after 10 months of getting up in the night, I felt like I should throw some kind of party!

I am going Crazy!

Not having my computer, that is! Jeremy brings his laptop home at night so I can check my email and stuff. But I can do nothing with photos, word documents, and stuff like that. Dell said our computer would be here by the 22nd and then we get an email saying it has been delayed and it wont be here till July 1st. When we get our computer finally going, I will be blogging like a crazy person.

We have been doing some fun things though. My dad brought us a horse trough. The kids have been swimming in it everyday. We are also finally getting a slide for our swing set. I think we are going to attach it to the play house. The kids are way excited.

Jeremy has been working alot outside on our garden and the chicken coop. I can't wait till the chickens start to lay.Fisher is growing up too fast. He is walking along furniture and doing all kinds of big boy things. he is also learning to sleep through the night now. Without the help of mommy. Can't wait to post pictures.

just so you know

I am still here and alive. Our computer has been down (not working at all now) so I have not downloaded any pictures, being afraid I would loose my photos. We have been up to so many things. I have tons of photos of all of it. Birthdays, vacations, mother's day. But I can't decide if I am going to go backwards or not. We spent 9 days up north. We split our days at Big Lake, Springerville, and Vernon. We spent time with friends. Which was so fun. We loved it, Melissa and Sandra!! We camped and fished at Big Lake. I can't wait to post pictures of our vacation. I still have not caught up with our laundry. But then I decided, will I ever be caught up. As soon as our computer gets here and hooked up I will post pictures and updates on our life events. Until then, keep having a happy summer!!

Today

.....my sweet baby learned to crawl.

A happy day.

A sad day.

Our Easter Weekend

We had such a wonderful weekend with family. Saturday we ate lunch with Jeremy's family and the kids dyed eggs with Grandma Saline. No pics cause I was home while Fisher and Savanna took naps! Then the kids hid eggs for hours. Thanks Grandpa and Grandma Saline for hosting all the egg hunting and egg shell mess. Savanna thought she had to eat ALL the eggs.

Sunday we went to church, which was wonderful. I loved all the talks and lessons! Then after church we had Jeremy's mom and dad, my mom and dad, and my brother over for Easter Dinner. It was so fun visiting and relaxing! Jeremy made most of the dinner and his mom brought some sides, so I didn't really have to do anything! I know my husband is the BEST! Our parents love to visit with each other, and a holiday is the perfect reason to get together! I am so grateful to have our parents close to use so we can get together on holidays and they don't miss those special times with our kids. These memories will last a lifetime and you can't replace them.

The kids had a really fun time doing things that taught them about the Atonement all week. We had a Love One Another JAR where we wrote down special notes for different family members. Then we did the 12 eggs in the carton and each egg had something that told about Christ's last week, atoning for our sins, and His sacrifice. We watched movies, did cross word puzzles, made edible tombs and some other things. The kids loved every minute of it, and now Savanna even knows about Christ being resurrected after 3 days and the tomb was empty. She is so cute when she tells the story. I had a great week. Hope your Easter was just as wonderful!

Our "LOVE ONE ANOTHER" jar

For my Wednesday Thought this came to mind. I think this applies for our Family as well as Friends. But what would Heaven be without our parents, brothers, sisters, ect. Our goal is to be ALL together again. Never give up on those we love the most!

"We must cherish one another, watch over one another, comfort one another, and gain instruction that we may all sit down in heaven together." — Lucy Mack Smith

A Thought for Wednesday!

The most effective way to share the gospel is to live it. When we live like desciples of Christ should live, when we aren't just good but happy to be good, other will be drawn to us.

A Mother's Book of Secrets

Instead of a thought today, I decided to post about a book I just bought and LOVE!! It is what every mother needs to hear. Encouragement along with hearing other real mothers going through the same mothering experiences as you. Buy it and enjoy. You will not be disappointed!
