Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!

Hey Ashley! We hope your first birthday was full of fun, crazy, giggle-filled moments!
We love you!

34 Days and Counting ...

... Hee hee hee! I'm so excited ... (I'm doing a little dance that I'm sure none of you want to see!)

This Easter ...

"At this wonderful season of hope and renewal we testify of the glorious reality of the atonement and resurrection of the Lord, Jesus Christ. Of all the victories in human history, none is so great, none so universal in its effect, none so everlasting in its consequences as the victory of the crucified Lord, who came forth in the resurrection that first Easter morning." — The First Presidency, 2008

Our primary lesson last Sunday was, of course, about the Resurrection. How incomprehensible ... this gift we've been given. How grateful I am that we grew up in a home where we learned the true meaning of Easter. I remember getting up early a few Easter mornings to watch the sunrise with dad. I think I only did that a few times because, as a teenager, I guess I thought sleep was more important. Knowing (now) the importance of what dad was trying to teach us ... I wish I'd gotten up early EVERY year. If we only knew then what we know now, huh? I think we'll get up early this year ...

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend thinking about our Savior. We sure miss you all! Give all the kids hugs from Jim and me. I hope the easter egg hunt was a blast!

Happy Birthday Lucas Bruce!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Lukey!!! I hope your day is full of fun and wonderful surprises! I'm so glad to have you in my life sweet boy!

Happy Birthday Koby & Kamri ...

So I'm going through some old files ... and look at the cuteness that I found!!! I can't believe how little Kamri and Koby were in these pictures (taken in 2003) ... SO stinkin' cute. I can't believe they turn seven this week! It's unbelievable! HAPPY BIRTHDAY you cutie-patooties. I love you so much!

Okay ... Here's the deal.

So now it's "Idaho Falls or Bust!" We've already scheduled the moving truck, so it's pretty much a done deal. We're taking another huge leap o' faith and moving home the last week in April.

Our landlord and he wife need to move back into 'our' lovely, little home. We're pretty sad to leave what has been our safe-haven and sanctuary up here, but we're excited to make the move down south. We've been praying about what to do, and when Roy called us on Saturday, that helped to answer our prayers.

We'll keep ya posted ... but we can't wait to get settled and have all of you over for dinner or just a big old party ... Tell the kids that now we can have sleep-overs at our house! (Hey, that's kinda fun to say!)

Thanks everybody, for your never-ending support. Love ya, see you soon!
