At Last....
Okay so I know I said I would update this blog along time ago but I am finally catching up on my life and here is the first installment. We have had a busy month filled with traveling so I have a lot of fun pictures. I will start with the most recent event being Easter. Naomi was really into it this year. We also had a little dinner party and the kids did a little easter egg hunt.
Michael dropped his egg and it spilled.
His friend kindly came over to help him clean it up but Michael had other plans.
You would not believe how many jelly beans he shoved in his mouth as quickly as possible!
Seriously!
Naomi loved the egg hunt. When all the other kids were done she was still going long after!

I know I know, I need to Update this thing!
I got tagged by my sis. She has been on me to update my blog. I got a little busy this month but I am committed to posting some new stuff this week. Here is my first effort:
I've been tagged...
What I was doing ten years ago-
Wow, that was a while ago. I was living in Cedar City enjoying my first year of marriage and not enjoying my first pregnancy too much. Lisa and Laura lived by so there was no shortage of fun. Do you guys remember when I was that big old pregnant lady and I fell flat on my butt getting out of the car to go to school. You guys didn't even help me up because you were too busy laughing so hard! The good old days!
What I was doing five years ago-
Five years ago our little family of three became a family of four with little Naomi. I can't believe she was ever so small. We also moved from California to Texas that year. Jared started his Ph.D program, we bought our first home. Life was good!
What I was doing one year ago-
One year ago I was crying about turning thirty!!!! Today is my 31st, still crying just not as much. Jared was so sweet and threw me a great surprise party with all our friends. So I was cringing with embarrassment as my family and friends laughed and watched a movie of the hideous pictures of my youth. That was awful, I was not the cutest kid growing up. Think skinny, short haired, crooked teeth and totally awkward. Oh well :)
What I was doing yesterday-
Oh, yesterday I was writing a paper all day for my Master's degree. I am working on earning my degree in teaching ESL. And what else, cooking, cleaning, driving etc. mom stuff!
I enjoy-
Reading a good book, oh how I miss Edward and Bella! Thank you Amy for those books!!!! And for those who have been living under a rock that would be the Twilight series! Relaxing with my sweetheart at the end of the day talking, watching a movie and just having some time to be together. Catching up with friends and having great conversations!
Five TV shows I love-
Do I really want to admit this??
1. So You Think You Can Dance, my all time favorite
2. Jericho
3. Gossip Girl, I know Shame Shame!!!!
4. Any Law and Order
5. Okay, Okay The Hills, please don't judge me :)
Five things I hate-

What we believe:
The Mormon church has sure been in the spotlight a lot lately and this is great! People are starting to learn more about what we believe and more about who we are. In the same respect there is so much misinformation out there. Elder Ballard asked members of this church to use new media such as blogs to participate in these discussions. He said that people are going to talk about Mormons so we better make sure we are a part of those discussions! After reading this request from Elder Ballard, an apostle of God, I decided I could contribute by posting information on our family blog. Answers to many questions you might have or just some brief overviews of our faith can accurately be found at www.mormon.org. I have provided a link to this website in my favorite links section found at the top right of this blog. I urge any of my friends who want to know more about me and my family to take a minute and learn more about this church that has been causing such a raucous in the media as of late. It is my sincerest desire that everyone and anyone can know truthfully what members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints believe. I feel so fortunate for the attention the media has brought to our church because it has provided an opportunity for all of us to know and understand each other a little better. I sure think we could all use a little more of that to go around!
In addition to these thoughts I want to share with the whole world my testimony. I am so fortunate to have been taught by goodly parents about the gospel of Jesus Christ. He is the light and the life of the world. He is the only means to salvation and joy. Through him ALL things are possible and ALL things CAN be overcome. I know that Heavenly Father is a living God who loves and cares for me and you very deeply. I know that he is literally my Father. I am so grateful to know that I am a child of God because it gives me such great worth. I know we are all of great worth. I know that Joseph Smith, a young boy of only 14 saw God the Father and his Son. Through great sacrifice and diligence on his behalf he translated and brought forth a valuable companion to the Bible called the Book of Mormon. I am so grateful for these two pieces of scripture that fill my life daily with the teachings of Jesus Christ and God the Father. Without them I am lost. My testimony may seem like a small declaration of simple things but it is the foundation of my life and the center of our home. Christ is the center of our home. I feel so fortunate to have this peace and knowledge in my life and I testify of these things to you in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
