Happy Easter

Honey, these are for you. You asked me to take pictures of EVERYONE, so here they are. Happy Easter!! After being gone for over a year and missing two Easter's we will definitely have to make it up next year. We had lots of fun, but not the same without you.

Saturday we enjoyed the company of our good friends and parents/grandparents. We ate way too much good food and decorated Easter eggs.

Sunday, after enjoying morning conference we celebrated with lots of family at Grandma and Grandpa's. We had so much fun visiting with family. The kids enjoyed playing together and of course the annual Easter egg hunts. They even took turns of playing Easter bunny and hiding eggs. Thank you to everyone for making this Easter day special, especially to our Savior Jesus Christ.

They are so proud of their decorations, yum...still
eating carrot cake.

I Love You, Honey!

Friday Night Pizza Party

Why is that no matter what are circumstances are in life, Friday's bring such a relief and burst of energy we otherwise wouldn't have on any other week day?
Even though it’s just the three of us at home, we sure have fun together. This is how we spent our Friday night, making pies.
This one’s for you, honey. Who last time asked me why I didn’t take pictures. I love you, more than you will ever know.

Happy Valentine's Day, We Love You, Daddy!!!

Rest and Relaxation

We feel very fortunate for the time we were able to spend together as a family the past couple of weeks. Although it is not the ideal situation to be apart, it sure has brought each of us much appreciation for each member of our family. Below you will see some pictures capturing some of our favorite memories.

Enjoying a little taste of Germany....

Lily and Emerson with the help of Grandma and Papa made Daddy a welcome home banner.  What a wonderful reunion.  Even though Emeson looks occupied in the picture he sure was overjoyed with having his Daddy home (and of course Lily and Mommy).

This is what I call happiness!

Much thanks to this wonderful woman, who sure knows how to throw a party. We were lucky to see much family and friends at Bryce's welcome home party. The most exciting part of the evening was seeing the Maygren's who decided to surprise us and what a fun surprise that was.

How could they get any more adorable?!?!

We spent a few days in Southern California with family.  While there we had to treat ourselves to some wonderful sushi from, Onyx.  They were so kind and gave Bryce a beautiful dessert platter which we all enjoyed.  Thank you to all those at Onyx!

Yum!
