Why Mormons Build Temples!

Sheridan First Ward Idol

Our kids performed at the ward talent show (1st Ward Idol). I was such a proud mom. They were nervous and didn't sing out very well, but I am proud of them for even trying. Here is a clip of their performance.


(I don't know how this happened, but somehow when I uploaded this video the music is about 3 seconds behind the kids. weird because it isn't that way on the original video. Anyways, sorry for my lack of technology, but it gives you an idea of their performance!)


Joseph played the role of host, aka Ryan Seacrest!

For Mom and Ashley!

I promised I would not be putting pregnancy shots on this site. I just feel very self-conscious when I am pregnant and figure that is the advantage to living far from you all, I can just see you after the baby is born and I am not as large as a whale anymore. However, I am giving in just this once for my mom and Ashley. All others feel free to scroll over this post. Mom, Ash, here is the view at 33 weeks. There won't be anymore coming so enjoy!!

Thanks to Joseph's Family!

One of many statues for sale on Main in Sheridan, we had such a fun time visiting the antique shops in town!

Pics at the Wild Life Reserve, we have Elk and Buffalo living in this reserve.

Easter Saturday at the park for the community Egg Hunt.

Since I have been on partial bed rest we have had so many people serve us in kind ways. April was no exception. I want to give a BIG thank you to Joseph's parents and his youngest brother Kenneth and wife Aimee. The second week in April we were excited to welcome Grandpa and Grandma to our home for a week. The kids were thrilled to have them here. They did a lot of cooking and dishes and gave me a chance to rest. We had a few more painful days and having them here really helped out. It was also fun to celebrate Grandma's birthday and Easter while they were here. Then we had a week alone before we again were privileged to have company come to help. Kenneth and Aimee were so amazing. They were constantly entertaining the kids and the kids couldn't get enough them. They took them to parks, a movie, and played with them just about every minute they were here. We really had a great time with you Ken and Aimee! Thanks for all the memories!

I really appreciate both our parents and siblings for all the encouragement and support we have received the past few months! You guys are the best!!

Easter Weekend!

We got a new basketball hoop for Easter this year. Taylor has been begging for one and is esp. excited. So, in each of their baskets they got a new basketball from the Easter Bunny. Well, except for Taylor who already has two balls and needed a new mitt for baseball this year. We went to a community egg hunt on Saturday. It was very crowded and I think we will avoid it next year, but on Sunday we went to our friends house for dinner and had an egg hunt there with them. It is so nice to have good friends to celebrate with.
