I Need Spring...

I never thought I would say this, but I need some Spring! Every other year I am saddened by the end of winter. I love the snow and rain and sweaters and hot chocolate etc...but this time winter has got to go. Maybe it is because I am couped up in a small home with 2 small active children or just my own pure boredom because I am unable to do the things I enjoy in the winter with 2 small children...who knows! We haven't had many nice days so when it was 45 degrees and sunny out we decided to go to the park and I got a few good pics of the kids...

Jacob loved the balance beam he tried it over and over again until he got it right and he couldn't have been more proud of himself.

A Promise of things yet to come...

So I have not been the best little blogger as of late, but I have been one sick mamma for basically the last month. So new pictures and events will be coming soon, as soon as I have enough energy to do it. I still have been peeking at all of your blogs here and there and am so excited to hear that you are all doing so well...There have been new babies and new family accomplishments and I am so excited for all of you. Take of yourselves and DON"T GET SICK!

Viva Las Vegas Easter Weekend...

This Easter we took a long weekend and went to Las Vegas to visit with Wade's family who were all staying at his sister's house. We had so much fun being with family and and spending the holiday together we even went to the strip for little while and saw some of our favorite things to see in Vegas. It was such a great trip, the only downfall being that it was so short and was made even shorter by the fact that I got a really bad 24 hour flu the day before we were supposed to leave. I have never had the flu with a nursing baby before, so for all of you who have experienced that, I am sooooo sorry. We hope all of you enjoyed your Easter celebrations both spiritually and commercially, we know we did!

Special St. Patrick's Day for Grandpa Shrader

My Dad is a HUGE Celtics fan and bought this outfit for Jacob a couple of years ago. I am glad that it gets to be used again.

When I woke up this St.Patrick's Day morning I realized my little Anna had no green, so she borrowed some from her brother and I made a bow to match.

Here's my handsome little man all decked out in his green.

Grins and Giggles...

New First Presidency Picture

I know some of you have no idea who these people are, but for those of you who do, I thought this was a pretty cool picture.

B.I.Woo.

So this morning at 7am, I woke up to Jacob screaming "Go B.I.Woo!, Go B.I.Woo.!while shooting free throws in my garbage can. So for all of you BYU alumni, just thought you should know that the name has been changed!

The Vote is in...

So it looks like those who have seen Anna know which one she is and those who have not think she is a boy...Jacob is Pictue B and Anna of course is A, she is a lot fatter than Jacob so maybe that was the cause for confusion and well, she really does look like a boy when she is not wearing pink... must be the bald head. Thanks for voting it was kind of fun to see what people thought.

Sounds Like an Angel to Me...

Here's one for the grandparents...

Pretty Blogs

So when I look at everyone's blogs, they all have cool templates and I can't figure out how to get them...do you have to pay for it. On some of them I also have to sign in to see them... I am guessing for security's sake...how do you do that? Any help I can get would be great...I am sort of computer illiterate since I have been out of school.

We Love Uncle Devin!

This last weekend we were able to have Wade's brother at our house. We had so much fun with him and Jacob enjoyed having a permanant pal for the few days he was here. I just can't get over how nice it is to have family come and visit us and to enjoy their company. Dev is so cute and fun too that you just want pinch his cheeks. Any of our family and friends are welcome to our house any time...we would love to have you.
