Haircut

Makayla got a Haircut. Yeah, I know it is short, but she likes it and that is all that matters.

Happy Birthday Jaxton!

Spring Break 2010

Well, normally I would post about Jaxton's birthday party except the camera that has the pictures in it turned up missing. I am sure one of the kids have it hiding somewhere and it will eventually turn up. When it does I will post about Jaxton's birthday, but for now I will post about Spring Break.

The first few days of Spring Break were cold and rainy so we pretty much stayed inside. Thursday, a friend of mine from high school came up from Moab to visit. We went to the Botanical Gardens/Butterfly House and the mall. It was good to see her and visit for the day.

Friday morning my friend and I took our kids to Bananas Fun Park to play on the Bump'n Jump playground. The kids had a blast! The nice thing about the playground is that it is in inside a pavilion so when the weather is too cold or hot the kids can still play and release all that energy they so readily have. Makayla told me today that she was ready to go back to school.

Park Day

Yesterday, it was about sixty degrees outside, so a friend and I decided to take our kids to the park. Yeah! First park day of the year! Makayla and Kelseanja were still at school, so I only took the boys, but they enjoyed themselves and the time they had playing with their friends.

Kelseanja's Birthday Box

I almost forgot to blog this! The kids get birthday boxes from Grandma and Grandpa MacPherson every year. Here are pictures of Kelseanja opening hers which she loved by the way! (The pictures loaded backwards, sorry.) Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

Reflections of Christ

Today after the kids were out of school, a friend of mine and I took our kids to see the Reflections of Christ exhibit by Mark Mabry. It was such a neat experience to show the kids how the pictures depicted the life of Christ as well as a few other important stories from the scriptures. There was an intro video we watched before seeing the exhibit. I held Jaxton on my lap and asked him if he could see Jesus. He pointed to the screen and said: "There he is!" Then in a whisper said: "Jesus." It was so sweet and made me feel good that even my nearly two-year-old knows or remembers who Jesus is. The other kids enjoyed seeing the pictures and listened as my friend and I explained what each one meant. Last Sunday, this same friend and I went to a fireside and listened to Mark Mabry talk about how the whole Reflections of Christ exhibit came to be. It was pretty interesting to listen to him talk. Very uplifting! The exhibit will be in town until Sunday night then it will be closed with a special concert. I am hoping to attend with Adam since he couldn't go with us today. The funny thing about this whole thing, is that I realized tonight as I was thinking about the exhibit,that my parents gave me a hardbound book called: Reflections of Christ by, Mark Mabry for Christmas two years ago and I had completely forgotten about it. Now the book means so much more since I have been able to listen to the artist and see the artwork firsthand. (Thanks Mom & Dad) Not to mention that my kids will also enjoy going through the book and remember seeing the 'big' versions of the pictures.

If you want to see the artwork for yourself visit: www.reflectionsofchrist.org It is well worth the visit.

She did it again...

Only about three weeks later, and tooth number two comes out. Makayla pulled her second tooth after she got home today. She came up to me and said: "I pulled another one." I did notice that her permanent tooth is starting to poke up in the spot left by the first lost tooth, so Makayla won't have a huge gap for too long.
