My little Easter Bunny!!!

By


Here is my little Easter Bunny. What a fun Easter weekend. Saturday we hit two egg hunts. Emmi was pretty reluctant to fight for her eggs. She would just stand and watch the other kids take them right from beneath her. I couldn't allow her to come home with nothing in her basket, so I would shove her in front of the eggs so no other kids could get to them. She came home with a smile and some eggs.

On the other hand Brian took her out to find eggs at our neighborhood hunt. She came back from the pouring rain with one....yes....uno egg. He didn't help her or fight for her to come back with anything. Then, she opened the one egg to find a piece of hard bubble gum. She looked at me like..."where is the chocolate mom?" Yeah....daddy didn't care if she had nothing in her basket. His words, "she's two she doesn't care".





That evening we went up to Grammy Jill's and dyed easter eggs. This year was probably the best eggs we ever dyed. Grandpa Ric got some organic colored eggs from Castle Valley and brought them home to dye. The colors came out so vibrant and earthy. So fun. Emmi had a blast spooning the dye over the eggs.




Sunday morning Emmi woke up to a surprise. The Easter Bunny came and left her a basket full of goodies. She got a new dress and little tea set. She played "tea party" all morning until we went to church.




In the evening we went back to Grammy Jill's for dinner and another hunt. I tell you what....she was all over this hunt. She didn't have to compete at all with other kids. They were all hers. She scurried around the yard like a little scavenger. Uncle Jonny played tricks on her and would rehide the eggs. She kept getting so excited that more eggs kept reappearing. What a kid!!! After all the eggs were found. She opened them one by one emptied the candy out and moved on to the next egg. In some eggs there were little toys, and even big girl panties. All she really cared about was opening the egg.






Thanks to all the family for making Easter so special for Emmi. She had so much fun. Next year it will be fun to see Emmi grasp just a tiny concept of the true meaning of Easter. We are so blessed because of our Savior and His plan.




Happy Spring!!!

It sounds like a wonderful Easter. I am surprised I saw you only have 34 days to go-it feels like you just blogged about being pregnant. That is so exciting. You look like such a darling, creative mom. I love seeing the pictures of you home in the background, it looks beautiful, I love the bathroom countertops.

And lastly, where did you get your little girls dress? It has to be the cutest Easter dress I've seen.

Baby JACK JONES!

By
We showed them didn't we Jack? As I said in my last post I was going to tell the hospital that Jack wanted to be born on May 20th regardless of what they say. My last post was written on May 20th at about 7:45 p.m. While writing the post I did feel some stronger contractions but since I had been contracting all day I really just ignored it. Until I published my post and started walking around. They immediately started coming 3 minutes apart and I had to breath through them. Brian was putting Emmi down to sleep, but I barged into the room and said we need to go to the hospital fast. I called Eric and Kelley to take Emmi and in no less than 5 minutes we were out the door. Emmi couldn't have been more thrilled. Off for a sleep over with her cousins. Driving to the hospital was the longest drive possible. The contractions were coming so fast. I was a contortionist in the passenger seat while gripping Brian's thigh everytime a contraction hit. Brian dropped me off in the round a...

Family Pics!!!

It's that time again for family pictures for the good ol' Christmas card. I always hate doing this, but you know you just got to do it. It took me weeks to get together everyones outfits. I stewed and stewed about where I wanted the shoot and what style I was looking for. I hired this amazing photographer and I am for the first time extremely impressed of how things turned out. Here are a few sneak peeks! Emmi was handing out fake smiles and frowns the entire shoot. I can't tell you how hard it is to get everyone with their smiles on in one photo. I think that our little Jack stole the show. He was by far the cutest in every photo. P.S. Oh yeah..... I completely CHOPPED my hair. It's been a little hard to adjust to, but a good change.

Happy St. Raggy's Day!!!

By
Wow.....can you believe that it has been 4 years since the day Ragnar Birkeland came to us for a quick visit? It is such an easy day to remember since it is on St. Patricks Day. We have now renamed the holiday in honor of our little boy to St. Raggy's Day. If any of you don't know the story behind the name RAGNAR....well....you may think we are kinda mean parents. But believe me it fits. It always is a good day to remember what we have to look forward to when we see the little dude again. I do feel like it is a little blessing to always have that excitement to raise a child we do not know in the next life. I can't wait to see what little personality he has, and to see my love grow for him. I am sure he is up there now giving our new little boy some pointers on how to deal with us. Hopefully "Jack" is taking the pointers to good heart. So, you are all probably wondering if that is the name of our new baby boy. Well, we have been throwing around multiple names, bu...
