Trophy Time

This last weekend was Madison's last soccer game playing for the Purple Hippo's.  She is always so excited to play with all of her friends and was even more thrilled when they got trophies. Great season Madison!!

Birthday Time!

This month brought us a couple of birthdays....mine and Peyton's.  I had a great birthday with Jason and the kids spoiling me and a lot of friends making it fun for me.  I got to go to lunch a couple of times and my friend Holli even made us an amazing dinner and brought it over.  I am super lucky to have such a great family and wonderful friends.

Peyton turned 15!! One more year and she can start dating.  Not good.  We woke up everyone super early so that she could open presents before school since the day was super busy. (Plus, she wanted to wear her new clothes to school).  I picked up Winger's for dinner (then off to Young Women's and softball) and then had her yummy 4 layer Heath bar ice cream cake before bed.  Kobe and Madison even sang her a special song that they learned just for her.  Too cute.  I think she had a great time and knows how much we love her!

This was some serious yumminess going on!!

Prom Night

Peyton was able to attend Prom this year (not with a date) because she is on Student Council and they had to serve refreshments.  So....she got to dress up too!!  Her and her friend Macey borrowed a couple dresses from friends and they looked amazing.  A little too grown up for me (oh, how time flies), but they looked beautiful and they had a good time manning the chocolate fountain.

Easter

I am a little behind on my blogging, so I will try and catch up much as possible in the near future.  So back a few weeks to Easter......

The kids absolutely love Easter and the fact that they get to go to their grandparents and have huge egg hunts with their cousins.  They know that they each get a "special egg" from Grandma and Grandpa which makes it even sweeter.  It is a fun time to see all of our relatives and we ended up with great weather this year, so we all had a fabulous time. 

 I love Easter and the time of reflection that we get to remember Christ and his sacrifice for us.  As we talk about it with our children, they amaze me with their knowledge of the resurrection and I see the love that they feel towards our Savior.  Madison was able to tell us the entire story one Sunday after hearing it from her Primary teachers.  How grateful I am for the teachers that each one of my children have.  I know it is often a thankless calling.  And, I am so grateful for a loving family on both sides.  I got extremely lucky when I married into Jason's family!
