Easter

I know I am way behind on my blogging, so I figured it was time to blog about Easter. Easter this year was so fun for us. Last year the girls were only a few month old so they didn't understand anything going on, but this year they loved it. We spend saturday with the Olson family. We took the girls down to the park for the egg hunt. They had a blast and got so much candy. Then we spent the afternoon at the farm eating bbq turkey and just enjoying time with family. The girls loved being outside and able to run around wherever they pleased. They can't get enough of being outside. Sunday we went to Ftn. Green to listen to my family do the Sacrament program. It was so good. Best Sacrament I've been to in a long time. We also stayed for lunch and spent more time outside playing in Grandpa and Grandma's backyard. I'm so grateful for Easter and the reason for celebrating. I'm so very grateful for my Savior and his atoning sacrafice. I know I would not be where I am today if it wasn't for the love of my Savior.

Catch up on life

It seems lately I haven't had much time to blog. The girls keep me busy, and they don't like when I sit down to use the computer. So hopefully this morning while they are still sleeping I can get caught up. Lately Brynlee has become a big Mamma's girl. I can't say that I don't LOVE it, cause I do :) I just feel bad when she won't go to Steve. But Brooklyn fills that void for him. She loves her Daddy. She always runs to give him a kiss when he comes home from work. The girls are growing up right before our eyes. I can't believe how fast time goes. I remember days sitting at work wishing the day to be over, and now I just want it to slow down. I need more time to enjoy my baby girls. They are starting to talk a little bit. They can say Mommy, Dad, No, Tickle Tickle, Cheese, and Teeth. A couple of weeks ago, Ryan's family, Rory and his kids, my Parents, and my family went bowling here in Ephraim. It was a lot of fun to get out and do things with them. It was even better knowing I came away beating my husband :) The weather has been nice enough to take the girls on a walk. I decided to take them down to visit their Dad at work. It was quite the walk, some of it being on dirt road. But it was a nice work out for me, and the girls got to see what their dad does all day. It was even a bonus that baby turkeys had just shown up that day, so the girls got to go in and see them. They didn't really know what to think, but they did give thm kisses. We took the girls to the doctor on Monday. They both had been running fevers, but Brooklyn had gotten pretty bad Sunday night. Brooklyn came away with double ear infection. It has bit been very fun, and I'm pretty sure Brynlee now has that same thing. I am so blessed to have such tough girls. They try so hard to play through their sickness. That has basically been our life in a nutshell. I spend all day loving on my girls, and Steve works hard to allow me to do that. I am grateful everyday to be a stay a home Mom.
