A week with Brennan, Ian and Senea

Brennan and Ian helped Grandpa construct Grandma's square foot garden boxes.



Senea had a good time building blocks.



While the boys were helping Grandpa, Senea had fun with the sidewalk chalk.



Ian calling out the next heat at the pinewood derby.



Brennan played Horatio in his sixth grade class performance of Hamlet.

Fun with the Kailie Harbor

Gina and I found this onsie at the swap meet. We had to get it for Kailie.



Kailie loves to climb anywhere and everywhere. She was fascinated with her stroller because it was inside the condo. She kept climbing in and out. Here she is trying to climb into the stroller basket underneath - she eventually made it. She is determined just like her father.




While I was in Hawaii with Jared and Gina in April, we were able to get away for a few fun moments with Kailie at the park

James Graduates from the University of Utah

James waits enthusiastically (RIGHT) for the graduation to begin. He was so bored. He kept texting Marissa with how bored he was.

James said "I sat here for two hours for these 15 seconds!"

James and Marissa celebrate on graduation day!

I don't have any new fun pictures to post. I just want to take this time and wish everyone a Happy Easter! I am once again reminded that Easter doesn't come in the spring of the year by accident. I believe that our Heavenly Father uses symbols. Just as spring is a rebirth each year Easter and the Savior remind us that we can each have a new birth. As we come to accept his Gospel and keep the covenants we can become as Paul said "new creatures in Christ". I hope we will each take a moment to reflect and recommit our lives to keeping our covenants and becoming more Christlike in our actions.
