Happy Birthday Ethan!

Today is my Hubby's Birthday! He is 28 year old today. It is a lot of fun having Ethan and Brookie's birthday so close together. When I was pregnant with Brookie Ethan was actually wishing that she would be born on his birthday so they could celebrate together, what a sweet dad.
I have known Ethan for 11 years now and I am so happy to still be with him. I had no clue that meeting him 11 years ago that he would be my husband. The first time we hung out we never left each others side. The dating years were so fun and the wedding years have been, well I won't go into to much mushy detail but they have been GREAT! I couldn't ask for a better husband for me and a more wonderful daddy for my girls. And when we do fight, there is no one else I would rather fight with. He is my world and the love of my life.

Happy Birthday Honey, Love You!

Brookie's Party Turning 1!

Mommy and Brookie!

Brookie's b-day party was a lot of fun! We had family and friends to help us celebrate. Did you notice Brookie's big flower on her head? This was our little tribute to Kamber. On Kamber's last birthday I put a pink flower on her head that was the same size and everyone made fun of me for it. Now the flower is something that everyone loves because it is a reminder of Kamber.

Thanks everyone for all the help and making Brookie's birthday special. We all love you Brookie so very very much!

Easter Pageant

Last night we went to the temple for the Easter Pageant. It has been years since I have gone. Since I have always had a couple of young ones I didn't ever want to fight my kids among the crowds. This year I thought that the timing would be perfect.



We have taught our girls of the life of Christ and that he died for us but that he was resurrected and that is how we get to live with Heavenly Father again. It is one thing to tell a child and it is another for them to see the life of Christ. It started with the angels and I could tell that they were glued. They kept there eyes on the stage the whole time. You could feel the spirit that was there and I was glad that my girls could experience that feeling once again.



When we got in the car I asked them what they learned. Kylie always has interesting answers.

Kylie said: I learned not to talk while they are a talking. And that they are not real people they were just wearing costumes.



Tayler said: I liked it.



Me: Didn't you learn anything about Chirst?



Tayler and Kylie: Yes! He died and then he lives again and goes in to Heaven!



Perfect!



This morning I asked Kylie again, did you like the Pageant?



Kylie: Yes



Me: Isn't it neat that after you die that you get to go to Heaven and also see Kamber again?

Kylie: Yes, but Jesus just went on the roof with the angels then was lifted in the air and then the lights went off and he went back on the roof and then down to the ground.

Kylie is so silly.
