What a hard week!

Poor Tandi! She has had a hard week. First of all I took away her Mi Mi(Binky). Which was really hard for me to do. It was so easy to put her asleep with it. So taking that away you can imagine how bedtime and nap time went. Each night has gotten easier. Although last night I thought was so easy. She only cried for about 5 minutes. Later I went to check on her and she was fast asleep with a fake Binky in her mouth. It belonged to her my little pony baby. Oh well! Then the picture from below is from last night. I just got her out of the tub and dressed in her pj's when I hear her screaming and Parker laughing. I run into the bathroom to see this. Apparently she was wearing my high heels and somehow fell into the tub. Poor little thing!! I hurried and got my shoes out of the tub but made her stay while I ran to grab the camera. (What a mean mom). Well I had to blog about it right?

Easter Sunday

I love this first picture!!! Parker had just put his arm around Tandi and I love her facial expression. These two kids of mine are the greatest!!! I hope all of you had a wonderful Easter Sunday. We had a fun weekend as you can see from all of our pictures. I know I get a little carried away sometimes.

Easter with the Aplington's

This year we went to Heath's sisters Angie's for Easter Sunday dinner. It was a wonderful Sunday. The sun was shining and we enjoyed being together.

Easter Party with the Bernts

Every year we have a big party with the Bernts. We always have a an awesome Easter Egg hunt followed by some yummy food. It is always a good time when we all get together.
Annie, Halle, Marley, Piper, Boden, Parker, Tandi, Lilly, Megan, and Bridget.At the end of the Easter egg hunt there is always the treasure chest filled with toys. Grandma Renae and Grandma Patti always have fun toys to give their grand kids.

Easter Egg Hunt at Grandma Hartley's

Every year my Grandma's retirement home puts on an Easter Egg hunt. This is almost all of her great grand kids. There are a few more missing. I'm surprised they all fit on the couch.

Easter Eggs!

Every year Parker gets so excited when it's time to dye Easter Eggs. Last year Tandi was too little to dye Easter eggs. She had a lot of fun, but broke a few eggs in the process.
Parker took this picture of himself. You can see that he is starting to get a few freckles. I think their so cute!!
I just have to say that I love being a mom! I love watching my kids grow and explore life. This time of year is so wonderful. There is something that just brightens my life when Spring comes around. I know that after listening to conference, I have a renewed faith in my Savior. I am so grateful for his Life, Death, and Resurrection. He continues to bless my family and me! I look forward to this Easter weekend. I love spending time with family, and remembering what is most important in life.
