Ben Baptized in April

Since the accident I have been soooooooooo tired and busy with kids and dr. appointments.  I thought I would finally take a min. to update about Ben's baptism.  I hope to work on Caleb's graduation next.  We had a great visit with Schwartz and Jemmett Grandparents!!!!  Thanks for coming!  We also got to have Aunt Christine and Uncle Steve and kidos come from Austin-Big treats all around!  Saturday, the day of the baptism was busy with soccer, General Conference and Ben's Baptism.  It was a great day and super to have family come for a visit.  Oh, and on Friday night the boys took their grandmothers to the school dance.
 Presidential Library for Bill Clinton.
 The escalators were Ben's favorite part of the Clinton Library.
 Dr. Seuss exhibit was fun.
 Practicing for the dance.  Grandma Jemmett just flew in --literally.


 Cousins 6 months apart and Spencer outweighs Joseph.
 Proud brothers.


 Grandpa taught Joseph how to come down the stairs and started on walking lessons.
 Joseph and Grandma Schwartz at the boy's soccer games.

 Oh, and Thursday before the baptism was the Pinewood Derby!








 We went to Hot Springs with Grandma and Grandpa Jemmett.  Our favorite place?  The TOY shop!!!  Very fun.

My 3 year old singing the popcorn song.

It really is the simple things in life that make it enjoyable.  What a fun experience to be able to park under a popcorn tree, open the sunroof to feel, touch, taste and sing this classic spring song.  Really glad we did this yesterday because today it is raining BUCKETS.

Spring brings with it a reminder of new life.  We plant the bulbs, exercise faith they will grow and just when we can't take winter any longer some little green leaves of hope burst through the dull soil.  These are from Holland to Idaho, to Arkansas.  Thank you Julie and Dale!




I love Mary Englebreit and found this at Hobby Lobby and thought it was perfect.

Pop Corn Popping on the Arkansas Trees!


"I Looked out the window and what did I see?"  Popcorn popping on the Arkansas trees!    We had so much fun discovering popcorn and blossoms and even tasting them.  Anthony said, "It's fake poptorn mom."

Happy New Year

We are happy and arrived safely in Little Rock.  We love the people and the landscape and ALL the snow days-today included.  Here are some photos of us in Little Rock and our Christmas in SLC.   Happy 2011 to Ya, All!
 
 

Temple Square Christmas Eve 2010


  

Christmas morning-we had the entire floor of the hotel to ourselves.  This came in handy for luggage cart hall races and lightsabor fights.


Safe and sound in Little Rock-taken down by the river, just minutes before the first snowflakes of our first Arkansas snowstorm flew.
