EASTER EGG HUNT

I love this time of year. It is starting to get warm and we can be outside. Also, I love that we get to have General Conference on Easter this year. What a great way to reflect on our Savior. Our ward did a Easter Egg Hunt this morning. Glad that the weather was good. The girls were so excited. They were up early and ready with buckets in hand.

Just love this girl. She didn't waste any time finding the eggs.

Kassida so excited that she found some hard ones.

Kendyl making sure she didn't leave any behind.

Adlyn grabbing some eggs.

HAPPY EASTER!!

Day 4 - Is it pretty?

Here's Ady's cool black eye. Actually, HOT! Here's why: After the second day or so, Ady was asking me, "Mom, is my eye pretty?" What do you guys think? Is it pretty?

Today is one week since her cool crash and her eye is looking a lot better. You can see the yellow in this photo clear down her cheek. That's starting to go away.

Ady is happy to tell you how awesome she is. It actually takes twice as long to let her read to you because after every couple of words, she will read them and then say, "I'M SO AWESOME!" Then, she'll go on about how she can read the big words, or she can read without even sounding it out.

So, who get's posts next??? Who knows. Depends on who does something crazy.

Day 2

Day 2 of the aftermath of Ady's crash. Pretty Sweet!

Going out on a limb

The post is therapeutic for me. The past year has been a very hard year for me personally. Nothing to major has happened in our life, but I have felt like the real Amy wasn't living inside me. I was very anxious to have my hysterectomy after Everett so I can start feeling better and that has help, but there still wasn't something right about me. As the months went on, I was finding myself more tired, more depressed and I started to have headaches, water retention really bad and my blood pressure would go up. I went to the family doctor to be routed to MRI, CT Scans, Neurologist, and Cardiologist to have an A+ health report. I knew nothing there was something not lining up right. So the cycle continued and got worst. By the end of the year I was a mess and was always on a major roller coaster. I knew that something needed to change but I didn't know what and how. I kept praying that Heavenly Father would please help find something to help the real Amy. About a couple of weeks ago, I was talking to a good friend about everything that I was going through and she said you should go see this Hormone Specialist. So I made an appointment, talk to her for over a hour about everything and took a saliva test. I had to wait for a week to know the results. When I went back in I was just hoping that something was off. There was!! All my hormones were totally not in the normal range and now we are in the process of getting everything in line. I am so thankful I talked to that friend. I have seen some progress, but know it is not a over night transformation. Please know I am so sorry if I have offended any of you this past year. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me and understand it was not the real Amy. Please know that I am working on being a better person. I had no intentions to hurt anyone. Also, know that Heavenly Father loves you and wants to help. There are other people who understand what you are going through and might be the answer you are looking for.

Who Would Have Thought

Everyone kept telling us since Everett will be the only boy in our family to watch out he is going to love pink, princess, and barbies. Well I have proof that isn't so. He LOVES balls! He will play with them all day. When he sees one, he will let out a big squeal and crawl as fast as he can to get to it. The girls also love playing catch with him.

Adlyn Bike Crash

Ady is learning how to ride a bike without training wheels. She got the balance thing down just like that. Steve worked with her all afternoon on Sunday. I took her out yesterday to practice. She was doing it all by herself. She would even get off her bike and do a little dance to celebrate. If any of you know Ady, you can picture her doing the dance. Anyways, I turned my back to look at Everett and she was heading right towards a curb and forgot to turn and CRASHED!! My bad. It didn't look all that bad until this morning.Poor Ady! Sorry for not paying attention. Now, she won't get back on her bike. Hopefully that won't last to long.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KENDYL

The Little Birdie is 3. We did a little celebration on her birthday March 3, but continued it on March 6. She was kind of confused because she opened some of her presents on her birthday and opened more later. We didn't get any pictures because the battery was dead. Guess my bad didn't check it. Kendyl is a spit fire. She is either making you shake your head or makes you laugh so hard. We are so glad you are apart of our family and keep life full of entertainment. WE LOVE YOU!

Everett's 1st Birthday

Look who is 1! I can't believe my baby boy is one. It has been a fast year. His birthday was February 17th. We are so thankful to have Everett is our family. He brings us so much joy.

He is so content and goes with the flow. He puts up with a lot from his sisters and it doesn't seem to phase him. He always has a smile on his face which in return bring a smile to ours.

He sure loves food, especially sweets. He experienced the cake to the fullest.

He was so excited to see what he got. He seemed to love everything. His sisters were very interested in the boy things he got.

Happy Birthday Everett! We Love You!

Again!

I am going to try this again. I have had several people ask me to and I thought I read so many blogs that I love, why not! Plus, it is a great way to stay caught up with us. I hope you enjoy.
