"You are not here to live a mediocre to average life; you are here to live an amazing life, a miraculous life. If it weren't for your challenges, there would be no miracles. You must do that which seems impossible, for it is only in the impossible that miracles are had." - author unknown, but very respected

Kittens

We sure have loved our time with these kittens!  They are so fun, so cute... I'm totally attached.  It's going to be hard to say goodbye!  Tiger seems to be the least scared of Buddy.  He seems to be the most annoyed out of all the animals in our house :).  And have we mentioned we have 12 pets right now!!!  Holy moly.


Cute Tiger- Noah's favorite.



Tiger and his mommy.

I took them out to the back porch and they were in heaven!  Totally in explore mode!  It was cute.


That's Pinky


Tiger and Pinky




Elliot in the front and Pinky in the back, with Tiger on the side there.

They look so cute, sniffing around... 



That's Smokey




awwww!!  That's his "adopt me?" pose :)

This is Tux/Stash/Bond/Boots/Cougar/Mittens/Cozmo's debut.  Does he have enough names??  We never could settle on one.  








It's so sad to separate these guys... they all love playing together so much!  Maybe someone will want two  :)  haha... jk.






Easter Morning

Easter was a really fun day.  Started with hunting for baskets.  Everyone gets halfway depressed before they finally locate their basket... THEN they're happy :).








"SOMEONE " ;) ;) (it was a mystery until about 10 minutes into church :) ) EGGED US!!!  It was so much fun to find a cute note on our front door and eggs all over the lawn with toys and fun things inside.  One of the eggs was empty to represent the empty tomb... very cool... the kids LOVED the surprise!  So much fun.  We just love our neighbors.




We hunted for our own eggs, IN the house after that, ate our creamed eggs on toast and then went to church.  I LOVED our YW lesson.  It was a "silent lesson" we watched a few videos of the Savior and His life.  It was incredible.  And yummy cinnamon rolls to follow :).  

We went up to Nate's parents' house for dinner and the family meeting.  For some reason I didn't take my camera... oh, probably because I took about a gazillion pictures the day before!  Anyway- it was a good time.  Happy Easter to us!

Mom and Simon's

My mom didn't want to do yet another egg hunt, so she sent the kids on a hunt for an Easter basket.  She went all out and used REAL GRASS!  Lots of candy, lots of fun... we all just bummed around and filled our faces with sugar...

Luke got me!





I'm not sure what it is about this face, but it just looks so cute :).  Even with the yellow robin egg teeth :)




Good times.
