Lets talk about Jesus

Yesterday, I was feeding Elle, and trying to get her to stay on my lap, so she wouldn't carry her bottle all over the house.  So I was singing "I am a child of God" to her.  Bree heard me, and came into the bedroom.  

Bree:  Mom, can we talk about Jesus?

Mom: Sure

Bree: Mom, Jesus made our bodies.

Mom: Really, what else did he create?

Bree: He created the animals too.

Mom: He created the Land and Sea, the Day and Night, the Trees, and all of the animals etc etc..

Bree:  He created Easter Eggs, and Easter too!

Mom: Well, we celebrate Easter because that is the day Jesus was resurrected.

We talked about where does Jesus live?  And some other things.  Then Bree sang I am a Child of God to me.  About three times :)

Bree:  Mom, lets talk about Jesus some more :)

I'm so glad she has been listening in our Primary Class.  I can really see how teaching little children does affect them.  And that they really learn a lot, even though you don't really know if while they are jumping out of their seats, and playing with the person next to them, they are listening to anything you say!  I'm so happy that Bree LOVES Jesus!!  And she loves to go to church every Sunday.  It's definitely different having her in Primary, versus, Nursery.  

This week

Here are a few of the things we did this week.  One of the days this week, we drove up to SLC to take Daddy his wallet that he had left at home, and some lunch.  At least it gave us something to do, and we got to see Chris too!  And in this picture....The girls and I are out on the front porch.  Just having fun with the camera.

As many of you know, dressing my little ones, is one of my hobbies.  I just can't help it.  There are so many cute clothes out there for little girls :)
One day this week, while Bree was out in the yard with Chris, she came to the back door with flowers for Mommy.  Well, I found a really tiny vase, and put them in it.  She was so happy to do something sweet for me :)  She is always telling me that she loves me.  Of course I am always telling her the same thing about loving her!!!
When we shopped for groceries this week, Bree got to pick out a new toy.  We just needed something fun an new to play with.  She LOVES the little tiny things.  Especially the Littlest Petshop toys.  They come with all kinds of accessories, and everything is very small.  We have to keep this stuff away from Elle, so it doesn't get eaten!!
Bree spent three afternoons this week, playing with the neighbor next door.  And yesterday, a couple of them came over to our backyard to play.  These pictures are crazy, because I was taking them out of my very dirty bedroom windows!  But the kids are having a blast, and Bree loves to play!  Now I know that I need to clean some windows.  I guess it's time to get out the ladder :)

Me and My Friends

The other day, while I was in the kitchen, I could hear Bree playing on the stairs.  When I looked over the banister, this is what I found.  Bree and her Friends, sitting on the stairs :)  She loves her dolls and stuffed animals.  She even has about 8 that sleep in her bed with her at night.  Mostly her dogs, and Wubbzie, Waldon, and Widget.  It's nice to have so many friends!  

Sunday Fun

Well, it's been a few weeks, I'm not sure exactly how long, since I've seen my parents.  And I can't go too long without seeing them, or I have withdrawls.  So, I invited them to come down yesterday for some dinner.  And because my mom had promised to make dinner for my brother Cord and his family, they came along too.  It was so much fun.  The girls played outside riding bikes, and playing on the toys.  We had an awesome dinner, and sat around the kitchen table talking and laughing!  And then....my Sister Camber and her husband showed up out of the blue. Well, I guess they had talked to my parents, and knew we were having them over, but they surprised me by stopping by!  I just love hanging out with my family :)  It was so fun to talk, and laugh, and just hang out.  The food wasn't bad either.  After everyone left, I was thinking that I'd forgotten to take pictures of the adults.  But here are a few pictures of the kids playing.

Yeah, for a fun Sunday after noon with family!!!  I LOVE you guys!!

Number 2!!

Okay, I promise not to post a blog everytime my baby gets a tooth, but Elle is 16 months old and I just found tooth number 2 :)  Yahoo.  Bree ran around the house saying whohooo whohooo!  She was very excited for her little sister.  And so am I!

Happy Easter

Oh, this morning was so funny.  Of course mom has plans for a nice Easter Family Photo before church, with everyone dressed up.  But Elle wasn't having anything to do with it.  So we had to swing her around, and set her on daddy's lap right before the camera clicked.  I'm surprised this picture turned out as good as it did :)

The girls and their Easter Baskets.  The Easter Bunny didn't forget them :)

Ogden's Dinosaur Park

Yesterday, we went to the Ogden Eccles Dinosaur Park with our Cousins.  It was a long day out doors, but so much fun!  Elle loves wearing her Sunglasses.

Bree is Uncovering Dinosaur Bones :)
The kids had a great time looking at all the Dinos.
Aunt Jennifer was telling them all about each one, and helping them to read the signs.

A big scary one!!

Conference Weekend

This Conference weekend has been so much fun!  I think mostly for two reasons.... One, because Conference has been on, and we've been feasting on every word, and then Two, because we haven't gone anywhere.  We've spent two days at home, sleeping in, taking naps, and playing with our two sweet babies!!  Yesterday between sessions, we colored Easter Eggs.  Yeah, it's early, but Bree had so much fun!!  This is her first time.  I guess because she was little before, and I thought it would just be a mess.  But she loved every minute of it :)

And when Elle woke up from her nap, she saw all of the Eggs we had colored.
We brought the girls playhouse upstairs.  You know how when a toy sits in the same place for a long time, it gets forgotten.  Well it's interesting how when you move it, how it becomes new again, and the girls have had a fun couple of days playing together in Bree's little doorway playhouse.

Bree LOVES the camera!

This is the Sweetest little face!  This little girl gives mommy the very best hugs, and kisses!
Today, it was actually warm enough to go outside between sessions.  The girls couldn't wait to get outdoors again.  We've been stuck in the house for over a week, with snow and bad weather, though you can't tell now.  Our snow has melted each day after it falls :)



Look at that good looking guy!!  


Bree has been asking Daddy, who each and every speaker on the T.V. is.   And then she repeats the name back.  She has to know who is giving the current talk on Conference.

Bree took her bike out for it's first test drive!  She got it from Santa, and has been begging to ride it.  I can't believe how good she did.  

Now Elle is trying to ride Bree's little Trike.  She's still too short, but I think Daddy can actually move the seat forward for next time.  
Neither one of the girls wanted to go in after this fun day playing in the yard.  I can tell that we'll be outdoors a lot this summer!  I'm so glad, because Mommy likes to be outside too!  This has been a GREAT CONFERENCE WEEKEND!!
