Oh Boy! Ive got Joy!

I am so glad that I have had the chance to teach Jessica this year in Joy School.  We had a young class of 7 kids.  It is fun to watch them all progress and grow over the course of 9 short months. Their graduation was very cute.  They sang 2 songs and then got little diplomas.   Jessas hat would not stay on...too cute!

I love you Jessa! And yes you do have JOY and share it with all those around you!

Hippity-Hop Hippity-Hop Easters On Its Way

We had another fun Easter this year. Coloring eggs, Easter bunny came, 2 egg hunts, good food and good friends. Mostly I love that we are able to teach our kids about our Savior and his life and death and that the real reason for Easter is to celebrate His resurrection. And Chad was warned to never bring candy to church again even if it is a Holiday...melted chocolate never goes over well!

Have I lost my mind???

Week 4 of Chad in Albuquerque was also our 1 week of spring break. Which meant no kindergarten, no joy school, no dance class, no wrestling, no meetings. So I packed up my 3 loves and took the 4 1/2 hr drive to New Mexico. Which meant 3 days of no cooking, no cleaning, no bedtimes and swimming...sounds like a vacation to me! While Chad still had to work we got to play!

We went to a children's museum (those are always my favorite cause the kids can touch EVERYTHING and not get in trouble)


Come on mom take the pic already

This...is...an...ELEVATOR! We had to ride it a couple times...just because

I think I'm going to chill here for a minuet. Its been a busy day

And the Aquarium. Who doesn't love seeing sting rays, sharks, jelly fish, sea horses, and a whole bunch of cool fish.





Another round of ice cream.

No- I haven't lost my mind. Me and my 3 had a blast everyday and the best part was having dinner and swimming every night with Dad.

And boy was it good!

NaNa TiMe

Nana (Chads mom) came for a quick visit and we all were so excited! We walked Justin to school everyday, played outside, went to wrestling matches, ordered pizza, went through kids clothes to send to cousins, had way to much candy, read books, got caught up on food storage and introduced her to Pinterest! We are so sorry it was a pain getting here (lost luggage) and were so sad when you left! We love you! You are the BEST Nana we know!

Dance Baby Dance

once again they are sideways

Man oh man do I love this little boy. Not much of a baby anymore (but I still rock him at night like he is one).
