Flashback Friday...

May 1995...this is James, Katie, me and Jesse on the day of Jesse and James' Mission Farewell. Who would have known that two years later we would marry those cute boys we were standing next to and have our receptions in that very back yard we are standing in? I remember crying the entire drive home...so sad, yet happy, that Jesse was serving a mission. I didn't know his Mom very well at the time. I would have found a lot of comfort that day knowing that we would become very close during the next two years. We look so young...funny how I still feel like that little girl in the picture sometimes...

Easter Sunday...

We had a wonderful Easter Sunday spending time with friends and family! Gabe didn't sleep at all that night in anticipation of getting a particular DS game. It was kind of sad for me...he found out this year about the Easter Bunny.

Emma cruising on her new wheels...

We had some dear friends over for Easter Breakfast. Here is one of the little girls. She is SO beautiful...

Emma and Dad.


I had to get one picture of Emma in her dress before she stripped it off. She hates to wear dresses, and I love to buy them for her...

A Week In Review...

One of the things that made me smile this week, was coloring Easter Eggs for Family Night. Look at Emma's face! She loved it!



Some other things that made me smile:

• Friday Fun Club at Gabe's School. I helped them make bunny pins for Easter.
• Playing at the park.
• Going to the Hale Center Theater with our good friends the Long's. We have season tickets with them. This month was "Civil War". It was AMAZING! The singing was the best yet! We look forward to each performance, and our "date" with the Long's.
• Lunch with two wonderful friends at Dear Lizzie's
  
• Easter breakfast with some more wonderful friends. (see next post)
• Spending Easter Sunday with my family...Oh, how I love them!
  

Easter...

So many thoughts about this wonderful holiday coming up. I have a friend who is so eloquent in her thoughts, and I feel like she puts into words how I truly feel. I hope she doesn't mind...read them here.

Flashback Friday...

Okay, these pictures look like Jesse and I got married about 30 years ago...we didn't, it just appears that way... On this one we were actually standing in the Temple parking lot. I just can't help but giggle every time I see this picture. Classic...


Here is a decent one...
