Oh sweetheart...

Ricks idea of 'keeping an eye on Ammon' & helping with the dishes! LOL!!!

My sweet husband has been working over time to help out and take care of us all while I have been miserable and pregnant. He has done laundry, run errands, gotten the girls up and out the door to school every day, cared for the boys when I need to lay down for a bit, fed the animals, made dinner, done dishes, helped clean out the storage room- bedrooms- closets- and drawers, taken out trash, rubbed lotion on my feet, run the kids to & from activities and been extra patient with my mood swings. All while taking CNA courses and getting straight A's. I am the luckiest girl alive and can not wait to be done with this pregnancy, back to normal and taking care of my sweetheart and family!

Happy Easter!!!

WE had our Easter egg hunt inside today because the kids didn't get their chores done in time to do it outside when it was warm. Ammon wasn't sure what was going on but he was excited because the other kids were excited. Then he got VERY HAPPY when we let him munch on a peep- his first 'real' treat. I know. I know. Sugar before a year old... but I really don't care. :)

Gabriel loved looking for the eggs and treats with his name on them. He kept saying' I WON! I WON!' then he was SUPER excited to eat his huge chocolate bunny (hollow of course)... and he hasn't stopped eating treats since. My philospophy- 'Go ahead eat it all and make yourself sick, then it will be gone faster and out of the house and your system.'

Rachel had fun hunting for eggs and treats but I think she had more fun looking at all of the colors, shiny eggs and sparkly eggs. As much fun as it all was I think that she had more fun helping me make pies today and she is the most excited about sleeping over at her Grandmothers house.

Sarah had fun looking for eggs and was, of course, the first one done' hunting'. More than anything she enjoyed sorting all of her candy into piles and categories. Then she wrote down all of the different kinds of treats and how many that she had of each one. She has had a bite or two here and there but I fear her candy will last until Halloween.

We are so grateful and blessed to be together and to have the knowledge of our Saviors love and many sacrifices for us. HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
