Happy Easter and Various Quotes

-
We had a wonderful Easter. We colored hard boiled eggs, enjoyed several egg hunts, ate lots of yummy treats and talked about the great miracle and gift of the Atonement.

We've also had an explosion of funny quotes that I thought I would share. :)

While dying hard boiled eggs Rebekah asked, "So, what kind of candy is inside of these eggs?"
(Maybe I should boil eggs more often. :D )

Extremely tired and 40 minutes after he had been put in his room for nap time Loyd calls, "Mom, you have to take these toys out. I can't stop myself from playing with them." I took the toys out, Loyd was asleep 5 minutes later. Silly kid. :)

Dustin came home from work feeling a bit under the weather. With some concern Loyd snuggles up to his Daddy and asks, "You're not feeling well? Are you growing a baby in your tummy too?"

When Dustin told him that Daddies don't grow babies in their tummies Loyd asked with real sincerity and authority in his personal observation, "Then why is your tummy getting fatter?"


Xavier Speak Translation:
"Bo-bot" = Robot
(A very important word at our house this month with the high school FIRST robotics competitions.)

"Bummy" = Bunny
(Also a very important word this month due to the happy visit from the Easter Bunny himself.)

Ta-da! Rebekah finished her first project in her sewing class. She made this very stylish Hello Kitty sewing bag all by herself. She is doing a great job and really enjoys going to sewing class. her teacher says she works very hard and has a great deal of patience and concentration. Good job Bekah! Maybe she'll be an excellent seamstress one day and follow in the footsteps of her grandmothers.

She is currently working on a peasant shirt for herself. We'll post a picture of that finished project when she completes her next masterpiece.

Not Much Happening In Our Neck of the Woods

Not much to tell from our end of Texas. We've just been keeping busy keeping busy. We have started doing a small story time on Wednesdays with a few friends. The kids love it. Rebekah likes spending time with the other kids and Loyd adores doing the finger plays. I'm sure Great Grandma Young is helping him learn all the actions. He's really quite good at them and picks up the plays rather quickly. Loyd also went in for his 18 month old well baby visit. Everything is looking good for our young man. He is tall and skinny and seems to be ahead of the curve on his developmental milestones. The pediatrician was impressed. Rebekah is turning into quite the social butterfly. She loves to play with her friends. She would have them come over every day, all day if she could. When they have to go home she turns to Loyd and spends the rest of the afternoon telling him what to do. She taught him a few games with some carpet squares and has him trained on how to play a good g...

We Returned to a Blessing

We came home to a HUGE blessing. Our house is still here and didn't sustain much damage. We just have to rebuild a portion of our fence and clean up dead branches and we are good to groove again. We don't have power yet, but I anticipate that it will come online soon. Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts. I know the Lord greatly blessed us on this one. We came home and made sure we gave a prayer of thanks for His mercy on us. We hope we can get out there and start helping folks who didn't fair as well as we did soon. Here are some pictures of our home:

Summer Camp Extravaganza!

There was 4-H camps, Ogden Nature Center camps, and church camps galore this summer.  It was the best summer ever for John because it was his first year of going to day camp and he LOVED it!  He now wears his 4-H and Ogden Nature Center camp t-shirts everywhere so people can tell he went to camp.  Owen had a fantastic time building Lego robots and learning all about the constellations at a late night camp cookout.  Maeve had her first ever overnight campout at the Ogden Nature Center, had a blast, and then turned around 2 days later for her first ever church Young Women's Camp where she became a zipline expert.  Xavier and Loyd humored their mother and bravely survived a week of FSY church camp.  Xavier spent the week at the Provo BYU campus (Owen declared that we needed to move there when he stepped onto campus and felt how special it was at BYU), and Loyd made it through the Weber campus experience in Ogden.  Rebekah has been too busy working and get...
