Spring break, Moab, new bunny...

-k- so im not a big fan of posts without pictures but i honestly just don't have time to post any today but eventually I will post some. I just wanted to update what our little fam has been up to. We were blessed to get to drive to Arizona (12hours) to see my sister Aimee and her family over spring break we took the Yukon which is natural gas so it was SUPER cheap..so that helps ....but I really miss her living so close...its so weird to not have her and her kids at family things we do but We so much enjoyed spending the time we did there! My sister and her sweet husband James took such good care of us...feeding us all too well, shopping, slpash pars, oh and cant forget DENTAL WORK! James is a dentist and so the poor guy has spent hours on my families teeth...all for free....We cant say enough how much we love you James and how happy we are to have you in our family....what a prefect example of loving charity they are....and i mean the "scriptural term, charity"...not my other sister...lol aaahhhh im so funny! any way. thank you both again...we love and miss ya lots!
So this past weekend Jess and I decided we would take a little trip to Moab....it was suposed to be bad weather but it was the most beautiful camping weather ever! We tented it as a little family for the first time... it seems like we always go with family or friends so it was such a fun experience to have JUST US! I didnt have to worry that my kids were waking others up, or getting into grandmas stuff or anything....The girls were so good and we had SOOOOO much fun. We borrowed one of jesses parents four wheelers and jesse went exploring and took the girls on rides while Axil and I just hung out. We all went on a little hike and looked for petroglyphs, which i have decided will be a new hobby of mine...there is something so magial and exciting about the indian culture... any way...so for sure we will be doing a lot of camping and exploring this summer.

lastly...We wanted to surprise the girls with a bunny on Easter but the kind we wanted weren't born yet so tonight jesse finally came home with there surprise...its a "true" dwarf bunny. the ones that dont grow to be giants that no one wants to play with... He is super cute...we kept asking the girls what they wanted to name him and they just kept saying "bunny!" sooo....we decided against that and named him Sable .... you can probably guess thats his color too....any way we love our new little friend....im not a big fan of pets....but he will stay outside...so im good with that. Jesse is working very vigorously at building his cage....its beginning to feel like a repeat of the sugar glider cages he and his friend Shawn Ostler built a while back.... good times....but i sure do love that my husband has built just about everything in our home....Our neighbors like to call him the male Martha Stewart...only better....

To good to be True....

So I must say Jess and I received some incredibly nice comments about our amazing children during conference... but the truth of the matter is it was all to good to be true... It was funny as i have been reflecting back on that over the past couple days, ( im still not over how good they were, like i said...this is not the norm) I just kept thinking "man I must have REALLY needed to hear this conference..." Sure enough I received a call from our dear sweet bishop brick members asking that I speak this Easter Sunday(ward conference)... I of course accepted thinking you mean Jesse and I... then I was corrected in that it would just be me...and that I was to speak on the savior and to use one of the conference talks given.... pretty sure this was not a coincidence ... just thought many of you might find that interesting... maybe even funny....go ahead laugh...

more blessings right?????!?!?!?!?!?!

AMAZING!

So i am still in awe over my conference experience...all the talks we excellent....i must first mention this....but what i am so amazed over is my 2 and a half year old twin girls that sat and quietly watched ALL 4 hours! Now let me emphasize i made them some coloring pages to color hoping this would buy me 15 min to listen...they colored all of about 5 min and the rest of the time they sat and listened...not once crying or fighting or complaining, they never even left the couch...in fact after the first two hours azzlyn fell asleep and when the closing song was being sung by the choir she woke crying that it was over and that she wanted to watch "president muffin" she cant say Monson so she says "muffin" I assured her after her nap he would be back on....we took a two hour nap and thinking it was a fluke thing that they couldn't possibly last another 2 hours, i sat them on the couch and it was an exact repeat! I was even able to take notes...tha'ts how good they were! I am so impressed with the love that my grils have developed for their savior, the prophet and any church leader, the temple and just the Gospel in general...what a testimony to me that they do understand so much and are so receptive to the things we teach them... and why wouldn't they be...they are so pure and clean and still the veil is so thin for them... I am so grateful for my little heaven sent angels and their Christ like example. Truly they love their Savior deeply...already...like i said...AMAZING!
