Easter a little bit Late!

Easter was a whole lot of fun this year with the snow! I didn't get pictures of the kids in their new Easter outfits because they looked like wet animals by the time we got to church.

She just couldn't find that egg.

Loved looking for eggs.

Emery my Prima Ballerina

This is from our production of "Sleeping Beauties" Emery did great in the Dress Rehearsal, but the night of the recital she stood there and just smiled waving her arms. Maybe she needs a new teacher.

Curl up and Dye

So Emery is on this kick where she really really wants to dye her hair! She wants all but her bangs to be pink and she wants her bangs to be purple. This hair piece has made her happy for a little while, but what am I going to do with her when she turns 16?

It finally snowed! The road by our house was so drifted that we couldn't get out. The county showed up and got us out! Way to go county people!

Frustrations!

It seems like every March I have a set back with my depression/mental problems :). I'm just so frustrated right now. I though I was getting better, but I guess not (at the moment) I am trying to count all my blessings, I really don't want to go back on my medication. Thank goodness for this blog, it allows me to vent. How do others not go completely crazy with all of the things to worry about. Emery is coughing again, which always sets me off. There are so many things that could go wrong with kids, but I've learned to stay off webmd - it only encourages my imagination. If anyone has any ideas let me know. Everyone is invited to my pity party, I'll be back to good soon, just have to keep praying and hoping!

Emery's Birthday

Our little princess turned four on Sunday. We had a princess party for her, complete with an all out cake from Grandma. She had so much fun, but was most exicted about all the new clothes and her guitar (Thanks Brock and Tandi, you are true friends;)).

The Best Service Project!

This last weekend a cute little couple from our branch (San Luis) was married. I wanted to help so I volunteered to help decorate. What I didn't realize is that with their culture they like lots of colors and want to use everything available to them. Once I talked them into toning it down a little it turned out great! I also conned my poor dear sweet mother into helping me make their wedding cake. She has retired forever from making wedding cakes but I had already said we would do it, so after I promised that I would never ever make her make a wedding cake again she did! I think it is one of the prettiest she has ever made (maybe because this is the first cake I was able to really help on). I helped with the fondant and flowers, she did the hand decorating. The sweet little bride (Lorena) also borrowed my wedding dress. After a few alterations (as you can tell from the pics she is tiny) she looked like a princess. What a great weekend. (On Saturday they were married, and on Sunday they were baptized.)
