Mother's Day 2010

Mother's Day was a great day! I just love being a Mom! I have a calling at church and teach in Relief Society. It was my turn to teach on Mother's Day so lets just say I pretty much cried through the whole lesson. It was on the Holy Ghost. Earlier in the week when preparing my lesson I came across something that didn't quite make sense to me and also made me a little concerned. The lesson said this about the Holy Ghost "He can be in only one place at a time, but his influence can be everywhere at the same time." What did that mean?? Did that mean he really wasn't with me all the time? I asked my mom what that meant and what she told me I will never forget. Colton was playing in the other room with the dogs and she said "You are not with Colton but the influence of your love is." Wow, now lets just take that a multiply it by infinity and that is how the Holy Ghost and the love of our Heavenly Father works. Amazing! It made me feel so much better! I also shared that with the ladies when I was teaching and I don't think there was a dry eye in the room. It was one of the best lessons! After church we came home and Will presented me with my Mom's Day gift. A pot filled with beautiful flowers that, yes, are still alive! Emily also helped Colton make me a Mother's Day gift. A small heart shaped pillow with Colton's hand print on it. I will always remember that small hand of his forever. Will made dinner and we enjoyed a nice evening with visiting my mom to tell her Happy Mother's Day.

MMmmm Dirt....

I haven't posted pictures of our house in Taylorsville yet so for those you haven't seen it yet here is what it looks like. I'll post some of the inside eventually. I still haven't decorated much.

We were very blessed to get this great house. The landscaping was already done and it has been really easy to maintain so far. As you can see Colton likes to help pull weeds and have some dirt for a snack.




CHEESE!

Easter 2010

For Easter this year my mom decided to throw a big party for all the grandkids... There were a lot of little ones running around. The men were at the priesthood session so the mom's and kids got to play together. We made socks bunnies and foam picture frame bunnies before going on the Easter egg hunt. Wow was it noisy while they were all searching but all the kids got a lot of eggs. Colton wasn't quite sure what to do at first but as you can see he caught on pretty fast. When the hunt was over all the kids sat on the couch and it got very quiet.... It must have been good candy!

Easter morning at our house we gave Colton another Easter egg hunt with the eggs he got from Gandma's house. I think he liked this game but he was still a little tired and there were a lot of eggs!






Since it was conference weekend and Will's mom was in town we had a big dinner with lots of family and friends. Josh and April brought there kids over to watch the last session before heading to Jen and Drews for dinner. Ryan and Colton became fast friends.
