March Madness

This month has been so crazy, especially because I am still in that new baby, no sleep faze. You all know that faze, half alive, half asleep, life is all fuzzy. Anyway, this month was mine and Doug's birthdays. We had one cake for both of us. He got a set of craftsman tool drawers. He is very excited to organize all his tools in one spot! I got a few little gifts, one of which was a computer game the girls and I have been playing on line, with limited features. We love plant tycoon. It is a nice slow game, but very interesting. But my main gift was Doug taking the four older girls to Denver for 4 days. It was so nice just being Erica and myself. We slept where ever we were and ate when ever, and even managed to do a little cleaning. It was a very nice break!!!!!!
Then it was our anniversary at the end of the month. 10 Years!!! WOW!!! It seems even longer, in a very good way. I never imagined it would be this good and that I could be this happy and content. The only way it could be better would be with a little more sleep, but that will come with time. => Doug is such a great husband and father!!! He is so good to me and indulges me in my sewing habit. He is a wonderful husband and loves his little girls so much and they love him!!! I couldn't ask for a better man to be in my life!!!! Thank you Doug for everything. I love you very much!!!!
We also had spring break. The older girls got to do swim lessons at the Y. Amber had so much fun and did so good in the pool. Clara had lots of fun playing in the kiddie pool while they had their lessons. We also had lunch at the Y a couple of times. It was a busy week. Doug had a multi-stake basketball tournament to handle on Tues., Thurs., and Sat. Our anniversary was on Thurs. so we had lunch together. And then I got a baby-sitter for Thurs. nite so I could go and be with him at the ball games. It was nice to have time together. It gets harder and harder all the time with everything that is going on. I am so glad school is back in so we can get back to normal and slow down! I am glad April is here and looking forward to warm weather!! Everyone is growing out of all their clothes. We need summer so we can break out the shorts. Sara and Tessa are helping me sew up a storm of new clothes. Pictures will be coming soon. I am very excited of all the new material we got!!!

Video mania

So I am going a little crazy with all these videos, but it is just so fun to put them on and share with everyone. This one is one I did of Erica and all her smiles. She is very expressive with her face. She is just too cute, I had to share!!!!!

What's a music video???

I was introducing my daughters to music videos, specifically Micheal Jackson's Thriller and came across this one and had to share it. Enjoy!!!!

The real shocker is that my girls didn't know what a music video was. Can you believe that??!!! What is this world coming to??? It's a lost generation.

winter fun!!

Doug took Sara, Tessa, & Amber on what maybe their last ski trip for the season. There was next to no one there and boy did they have fun. Here's some video Doug took of the girls.

Enriched

I have been feeling a little low on my spiritual tank, with having a new baby and little sleep, I haven't made it to church. But I was able to go to Enrichment meeting Tues. night. It was our Relief Society Birthday dinner and the theme was on Joseph Smith. We had a progressive dinner. At each house we also heard from different people dressed up as someone who knew Joseph Smith and they told about experiences this person had with Joseph and then they bore their testimony. At the last house, with desert we heard from someone who was Joseph. He was so eloquent and so incredibly told Joseph's story and thoughts and experiences and then bore his own testimony. It was VERY enriching!!!! It is always amazing to me to hear Joseph's story and the things he went through. I know he had to have divine guidance to accomplish what he did. The activity was exactly what I needed and I was fed spiritually, as well as physically. Thank you everyone who was envolved. It was wonderful!!!!

Baby Erica, again

Is this enough pictures of Erica for you Malauna?? I also threw in one of our family. We blessed Erica this weekend. I need Lindsay to come up and take some real pictures of Erica.
