White Lavendar Farm

Yesterday, we went with our friends to the Lavendar Farm, complete with petting zoo and all! After feeding and playing with the bunnies, horses, goats and llamas, we got a few plants and other goodies, Lavendar of course! Then we ate lunch at the picnic area there! What a great time had by all!

Teacher Thank-yous

Alexis and Ethan have been busy this end of the year writing thank you cards to their wonderful teachers! We are SO grateful for their service!!! THANK YOU for all you do!

Ethan's 7th Birthday

Ethan really wanted his birthday party somewhere 'fun' this year! So, we looked for some 'fun' places that were not too expensive and happily found a place in Woodstook called StoneyCreek Fun Center! They have roller skating, bumper cars, mini golf, arcade, laser tag, and ball pit with obstacle course! Ethan had a few classmates come and with cousins and grandparents here, it was such a blast! I know Ethan really enjoyed his birthday! Complete with soccer in the morning and a BBQ at our friends house in the evening, it was a FUN-FILLED day!!!! :)

Easter 2011: Ethan almost 7, Alexis 5 1/2 and Hunter 23 months
Love this one of the kids! Boy did we have such a fantastic Easter this year....and we didn't even dye Easter eggs...I know...I know....it's unheard of! But, I can say that we had our family had a wonderful testimony meeting and watched Jesus is Risen and talked about it! It was so wonderful to get down to that 'true meaning' of Easter! I'm just so touched that our Savior loves us...loves me so much to die and then resurrect so that I might live again!
I went to a Church fireside just for the women.....my cup was overflowing.... Talks and songs with our Stake President Chenney speaking at the conclusion! Absolutely loved it!
On the Wednesday before, spent the evening at church with our youth in a fun Easter egg hunt. The kids loved it too....yes we were out a little bit late, but very much enjoyed by all! I absolutely love our youth! They are so amazing and teach me something EVERY TIME I'm with them!
We had another egg hunt at our Friends house on Sunday after church and a wonderful dinner! It was so nice to have all 5 of us together...with 2 other families...together we were a party of 15!!! What a great time! We left there to spend some time with great friends....ate some fantastic food again and spent time with amazing people! We left at 8:15 am and came home around 5pm! What a great day spent with friends feeling loved and so blessed!

Friday night fun!

Dinner, play, popcorn and movie with our friends, the Dollars!

Harrison, Hunter, Alexis, Lee, Ann and Ethan! My second kids! Love them so!

Tonight, we ate and then went 3 times around our block....and then inside to get cleaned up and popcorn/movie....TANGLED again! WE LOVE THIS MOVIE! :)

Happy Easter!

So, I figured because we've lived here almost 3 years and have not taken our kids to get a 'real' photo shoot, I'd better do it! Luckily, I had a coupon AND a few friends told me about this really wonderful place not too far from here! I think the kids had a great time....and the pictures turned out really really cute! :) Happy Easter everyone....a little bit early! :)
