Enjoying Spring

I am loving the weather the past few days (I even have a small tan)! Grass is green and freshly cut, some tulips have peeked through and I am getting a few other flowers blooming (I am not sure of the variety so I can't tell you what they are - they were left here from the previous owners). Just trying to find the energy to get my vegtable garden mapped out and ready for seed. I am making it my major project this year. It was a lot of work last year but very satisfying so we will see what I can make of it this year.

Random pics of what life is all about:

My T-bird. Everyone should have one! One of my very favorite things he does is tuck his shirts inside his 'unders'. What a great kid!!

Mattie doing her thing . . . reading and riding!

Kael takin' a spin on Meeg's. (The kids saddle looks like an English saddle on our chubby horse but believe me we have not changed preferences)

Kael and Trey waiting to ride up to 'Gamma Shauna's'. We rode up Easter night and stayed to late so Grandma had to bring us home in the truck.

Kace and his favorite swing

OuR Mardi dog . . .

Matt and I decided she is a great family dog but stinks at farm dog. Oh well, you can only be really good at one thing right?

ENJOYING MATT . . .

I was teasing him the other night that if I didn't have him I would probably be living in a single wide trailer somewhere with 12 kids driving a white '87 Chevy Corsica. What a great guy he is to me. A great father and family man and such a support to me. I love you!

ketchup

(Really this post has nothing to do with the condiment, just catching up on life!)


Conference weekend found us in Jerome spending time with family.
We visited my mom, Grandma, and Aunts before they left for Oregon on a little vacation and then spent the rest of the weekend with Jordan, Barbara, and their family. The kids had a blast and the weather was decent enough to send them outside:)


Jayden and Trey enjoying a little H2O















Kace enjoying some R&R















Trey, Jayden, Rylee, Kael, and Mattie













I couldn't resist taking this picture. Matt, Barb, and Jordan listening to conference (obviously not watching it!!) Where are the 7 children we should be watching?!?! Thanks for showing us such a great time! Can't wait to do it again:)



EASTER
Just before the big hunt.











Kace really enjoyed himself this year!


We spent Easter Sunday blessing Court and Dan's little one and spending time with the whole family. We had a great time together. Thanks for the delicious meal!!
CLINIC
Last week we had to have blood drawn and they decided it would be best if we decreased med dosages. After clinic yesterday they decided to keep him on the lower doses. Dr. Affify says it is okay if this is as high as we can go with him. She is very pleased with how he is doing but we are all still puzzled about the tremors. They have shown up again these past few weeks but we have exhausted all avenue's so we wait for another 18 months and see if they disappear when we are finished with treatments. He wore his Wal-Mart shirt (complete with his name and patches) to clinic and everyone had to make a fuss about it:) Thanks DAD!!
