Happy Easter



I love Easter morning and Christmas morning pictures. Everyone looks so great with PJ'S on and bedhead! At least I get to be behind the camera on Easter and am not the subject of such awful pictures. The Easter Bunny came yesterday. Yes, we still celebrate with baskets on Easter morning, not like most of my "good Mormon" friends who opt for the Saturday, just call it an ingrained family tradition.

The kids had to find their baskets this time, the Bunny hid them just like at K's friends house. Even though K has been Santa and Easter Bunny, lets call it enlightened, she still gets gifts as long as she does not spill the beans to her siblings. We have a late call at church 1:00 so we spent the morning trying out mom's new waffle iron YUM!

After church we had some friends over. It snowed off and on all day but when we got home it had stopped and we thought it had stopped just so we could grill. Chris got out and started the grill and soon it was snowing so hard it was sticking on the ground and he had to get his coat and hood on. All of our friends and me just stood in the house and watched and took pictures. That is one thing about Bako you never wondered if it would snow on Easter, you were just always worried about how hot it was going to be.

Our Easter tradition of having a get together is back and we are glad. Last year we were still kinda new and did not have many friends so it was pretty depressing. This year we are back to our old selves, and though we missed our families and old friends terribly, we had a good day overall.

Glad to hear you guys had such a nice Easter. Love the grilling in the snow pic of Chris! You're right on about not having to worry about that in Bako. I was always worried about all of the chocolate candy melting in the 10 minutes it took to hide eggs to hunt.

Today we went to our new ward.  We still have one more week in our current ward but we just wanted to check it out, get our faces known, and possibly drum up some help to unload a moving truck in a couple weeks. Can I just say it was amazing!  We've been to this ward before when Chris was on the High Council so there were a few familiar faces.  That wasn't the amazing part... For the last 2 1/2 years Chris has struggled going to church.  The first year was due to the fact that he was in the hospital and fighting for his life and was unable to physically attend.  Frankly the whole family struggled that year and we stayed home for months because it was too painful to go.  The last year and a half Chris has struggled due to anxiety and panic about church.  He still has a testimony and loves the Gospel, he helps get the kids ready for church and attends when he can but for the most part I'm a single mom when it comes to church attendance.  He cann...

Sometimes life changes and we are all trying to catch up

From day one I could tell there was something different about L...he is my 4th child and right from the start I could tell.  I didn't know I could tell.  I knew he was different from my other kids but I didn't have a clue as to why, or what our future would bring. L was my most sweet baby.  All babies are sweet you say, all babies are different.  I know all babies are sweet but I mean this baby was SWEET.  He slept through the night almost from day one, to a mom 6 hours is like an eternity so I'm calling it through the night.  He rarely cried.  When he did and all the normal boxes were checked, feeding, changing, hot/cold, he just wanted to be left alone.  He would lay for hours on the floor on a blanket and watch life happen.  Then he would just fall asleep and take a nap and it was wonderful.  Being a mom of many kiddos it was like this baby was sent to me on purpose to make it easy.  Usually I have a baby and think "I'm not eve...

Our 68 Whiskey

All the fretting and studying and worrying and starving paid off!  K scored an excellent score on her ASVAB, better than most people!  She was able to pic the MOS (job) that she wanted and is happily enlisted in the US Army as a 68W (combat medic).  She has a ship out date of June 21 2017 but when she gets her diploma in her hot little hand in December she will renegotiate her contract and try and leave earlier.  This is a huge sigh of relief for her and a bit of a sigh of anxiety for her momma!  That's ok she is following her dream and doing what she will love.  I have faith that she will succeed!  Love that girl of mine.
