Happy Birthday NOAH!

So Noah is now 4. And so big. We had so much fun at his birthday parties. Kara and Christopher enjoyed the pin the bat symbol on Batman at My Mom's. They had fun playing with Noah and cousins at Dad's and jumping on the trampoline. Here are some pictures we took. Enjoy.

We love you NOAH!

Thankful Sunday 4-6-08

For General Conference.
There were so many talks that just gave me a confirming spirit of the gospel. I know that it is true. Pres. Monson is the prophet today. The solemn assembly was so powerful. It brought the spirit so close.


For my family.
They bring me joy and happiness. Everyday I come home from work they all get so excited to see me and give me hugs and kisses.


Kara
For her beautiful smile and the joy she brings me each day. She is growing so fast and I love every minute I spend with her. She is having success with potty training. I am so proud of her and the success she has had.



Christopher
For his joy and love he shows to me each day. How he knows when we need a hug. He is growing so big and doing so well with his weight. He says new words every day. Today he said Dorey(Dorothy) Elmo's fish, Sippy, Food, Sister, Kara, Mommy, Batman, and Superman. He is growing too fast.


Children in a basket.
I don't think I need to say anymore. They are so cute in the basket.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

So I am so excited about this movie. I can't wait to see it. You have to go to the site and see the new teaser trailer. It looks so awesome.
