Happy 1st Birthday to my Beautiful Princess. It is amazing how quickly a year passes by. I felt so much joy, happiness and love one year ago today when I held my little girl for the first time and that joy, happiness and love has only grown more and more everyday I spend with her. I am so excited to celebrate today, I love you to the moon and back sweet girl.
My own personal tulip festival outside the front door reminds me how much I love the Netherlands and our wonderful trip. Thank you so much Randy. Maybe someday we can all go there together.
Sending your son to prom is a lot different then sending your daughter. Picking out a tux took 5 minutes not the 5 plus days it took to pick out a dress! Not to mention the hair, makeup...etc. But really is he not just the most tall, handsome young man! Still wiping the tears!
I haven't been able to find the time to download and get through all my pics lately, but I finally got through them and I didn't want to just pass them by. So going back to the beginning of the month was our April Birthday Celebration!! Kristen and I had a cake off...
Clearly Kristen won! She showed Martha where the Bird Nest Cake is at, AMAZING!
Happy Birthday!
Not but a week later came Easter. A yummy dinner, more yummy treats and the Cutest little girl! She was confused because the Easter Bunny left better gifts at her Nana and Papa's then her own house! 
It didn't take long for her to fall in LOVE with her pink car and no day is now complete without a little ride around the block.
And last but not least brings us to today, Earth Day. There was no better way then to celebrate by walking through the tulip gardens at Thanksgiving Point. It was BEAUTIFUL and the weather was incredible. Sunshine, we have really missed you thanks for coming back!
The Newly Engaged Couple!! Congratulations!!! Welcome to the family Tyler. We promise we'll try not to run you off, Chandler and Scott have stuck around so we hope you will too.
About a year and a half ago we were challenged in Relief Society to memorize "The Living Christ".
I immediately dismissed the idea thinking that I am too old, it is too hard, I just could never do it. I think that I read the first paragraph a few times and said forget it. Then in November I went to our Stake Women's Conference where they talked about "The Living Christ". I felt really motivated and inspired that this was something I should do; needed to do. So on January 1st I began working on it. Somewhere along the way I decided to set a goal and have it memorized by Easter. Well I want you to know that I have achieved my goal. But to me it is so much more then achieving just the goal. It truly was the journey. I found that I had to think about my Savior everyday. If I didn't I would lose focus. I had to think about His life, His mission, and all that He had done for me. I realized that He truly gave His life to atone for the sins of ALL mankind. That we are ALL sons and daughters of God. I want you to know that I have a testimony that Jesus is the Living Christ, He is the immortal Son of God. He truly is the light and the life and the hope of the world. I love Easter time, I love all the fun Easter crafts but more then anything I love and am grateful for all that my Savior had done for me. I love each of you and wish each of you a Christ centered Easter. Love, Mom
