April

While we were in Salt Lake, our friend Grant traveled through several times and was always so kind to stop and visit with us. This particular time, we all went to temple square and to the church history museum together. It was such fun day.

Grant and Brenden

Brenden was always such a good friend to Makenzie.

Beautiful spring blossoms at the temple.

This little girl is such a HAM!

Henry's hair! I love his curls!

The following pictures are from my cousin Taft's wedding. It was such a fun day. Their reception was full of fun, games and dancing.

Cute little Lucy with Grandma

Nicole and Raquel. I just love these girls!

Henry thought it was the best thing to slide down this thing.

Brothers.

These girls! Aren't they gorgeous?!

Beautiful Ashley with Grandpa.

Aunty Rachel

Best friend cousins.

They got married on Molly's 1 year birthday. I had to get a shot of this sweet girl.

Aunt Amy and Taft. She is my favorite!

Saying "hi" to the camera.

These two were quite newly wed in this picture, too.

Tom and Amy. I sure love these two.

Love this shot of Makenzie's awesome dance move. These girls danced and danced and had so much fun!

We celebrated Henry's and Molly's birthdays together this year:

Shane face-timed with Grandma and Grandpa while we opened presents.

This book has been a big hit in our home.

Henry loves his new car track!

These kids had a pretty happy birthday. I cant believe how much they have both grown just since April. Henry looks like such a big boy now compared to then. Sometimes it's so hard to want time to go by. It isn't until I look at pictures from just moths ago that make me realize the time is actually flying by. It is sad and exciting at the same time. How I love my little children!

Molly's favorite place in the whole apartment was at the gate that blocked her from the kitchen. She would just wait there and shake it free so she could come hang on my legs while I tried to clean/cook.

Just a cute boy.

I love it when my kids get stuck; I cant help it!

I also love it when my kids play nicely together. It is what makes motherhood worth it all screaming and crying and fighting :)

My best friend and upstairs neighbor, Annie, moved away from the village in April. It was quite the traumatic experience for me but she didn't move too far away and we still got to see each other a few times before we moved to Cedar. I am so grateful for her love and friendship over the past three years. I know that we will continue to be good friends for the rest of our lives.
