Updates coming very soon....but I did want to acknowledge Daniel for being such an awesome Dad! I am so very blessed to have such a wonderful father for my kids! I made a little slide show of him with the kids through the years......
Love you, Babe!
...or a smart alek 7 year old. Yesterday I was busy in the kitchen getting dinner ready and making brownies with Emma for FHE. Mason was playing XBOX in the living room and I asked him to vacuum when his game time was up. So the conversation goes something like this....
Mom: Mason finish up your game and I want you to vacuum the LR when your done.
Mason: Why do I have to vacuum? Why can't you?
Mom:(thinking of alot of not so nice things I could say, but held back) Because I'm getting dinner ready and I need you to do what I asked.
Mason: Well I'll fix dinner and YOU can vacuum.
I mean he is only seven and he is always trying to argue his way out of things. hmmm..I wonder who he is like. No comment, Mom!
Mason is such a great big brother. Other than putting up with his sister's constant teasing, he is so good with Brody. And Brody adores him too. He starts to giggle and whale his arms and legs when he sees Mason coming. Here are a couple of cute pics of them.....
Easter Sunday was the most beautiful day! The weather was gorgeous which made it easy to enjoy the real meaning of Easter. Our Savior's true sacrifice for each and every one of us. I am thankful for Him and all that Daniel and I have been blessed with. My heart is overflowing with thanks! On that note....being that it was a beautiful day, I took some more pics of the kids at Gina's.
We went to Gina and Tony's for an Easter/B-day BBQ. It was Tasia's 17th birthday on Sunday too! Emma refused to change out of her "ballerina" dress. The kids had alot of fun hunting for eggs even though there was only 3 of them. That made the egg per kid ratio pretty nice.
We managed to get a few shots of the kids after church. They actually turned out really cute. Pretty rare lately to get a good shot of all 3 of them. :)
I wasn't ready for Easter this year. We didn't even put any of our decorations up! Well the Easter bunny still came and the kids were very excited to say the least.
The kiddos with their baskets!
Brody checking out the goods!
Mason showing off some Star Wars stuff.

The most exciting news to report is Daniel's Baptism. The day was perfect and we are truely grateful for this blessing in our lives! We shared the day with close friends and family. He was baptised by Elder Davis, who also gave Gloria (Daniel's mom) a blessing before her passing back in September. We felt a tight bond with him from the beginning and will forever be grateful to Heavenly Father for sending him to us. Thank you to everyone who made our day so much more special!
We bought the cutest little playhouse for the kids and everyone pitched in to help put it together.
Emma and Mason were such big helpers(most the time)

I'd say she likes it!
So, Emma is definently ready for shool. She gets soooo bored at home with me and Brody. It won't be too much longer. :( Here are some fun pics of her and Brody on an average day.
Here is a cute video of Emma dancing to one of her favorite songs....probably not the best choice in music but I don't think she picks up on the inuendos. :)
BTW, she picked out the outfit
