Happy Easter


That face just about says it all!!




They LOOOOOOOVE their daddy...and football! 



This little boy couldn't get enough of Coby throwing into the air.



And this daddy couldn't get enough Jadsey kisses either!!





Honey is always such a hoot and always up for playing!  Jaden was in HEAVEN!!



SO cute!



  
Love this chubby little girl....(LIVVY Loo), her sunglasses and her momma too! 

 


Here's their little family....quite the lookers I might add!



And what would going down to St. George be if Corbin didn't get Uncle Lance to help him capture Lizards??!!  Poor Poor Lance!  But he's always such a GREAT sport about it!



Later that trip we went on a hike in Zions.  To begin to say that it was gorgeous was an understatement!



Corb was excited...uh...maybe a little too exited!



Love Lance in the Daisy Moby wrap...I think it brings out his eyes!  :)



Jaden stealing in a little "Poppy" time!



This time I think POPPY was in heaven!


Me and my baby!



All of us at the top of Emerald Falls. 



Pat and Anna-Lisa our Event Coordinators!



Those two were inseparable.



Love this family shot of the 4 of us.  If Jack were there he'd be hugging my left thigh!



Peek-a-boo!





This one didn't make down the hike.



It was a really tender moment that we were able to share walking down.  The scenery was so beautiful.  I was loving being able to snuggle with Jadesy.  I know our days for snuggling are numbered so I take full advantage whenever the situation presents itself!  I love this little snuggle bug.



POSERS!!  Just kidding...I think we made them do that!



Honey brought all the fixins' for dying Easter Eggs.  Everyone was having a BALL!  Love Sammi's little green monster hands!

 

 


Jadesy wasted NO time digging into the candy found!



Coby had a fun idea and put little cameras on the Sammi and Corb while they searched for their Easter Eggs.  It was pretty fun to watch the footage.  Sammi was especially hillarious!  She finds this egg.  Opens it up and the jelly beans spill out.  You see her look to her left...then to her right.  Once she realizes the coast is clear she starts burying the dirty jelly beans in the rocks.  Pretty cute!!




This was Jadesy's first Easter Egg hunt and by the end I think that he was really getting the hang of it!



Corb is already a PRO!



Honey is such a sweetie to get it all organized.  She really knows how to make things fun!  All the kids just adore their HONEY!



He's a quick learner!



He's already a PRO at eating the candy though!  Didn't need much training there!



Later that day we headed back to Salt Lake and had a little dinner at Lanae's house with my side of the family.  Always a Treat!!  I just can't seem to get enough of this cute girl!


Amber was a trooper and helped Jadesy on his 2nd Easter Egg hunt. 



Corb made out like a bandit!



It's official.....he's a PRO!!



Look at him go!



And to the victors go the spoils! 

Happy Easter everyone!  I am so grateful for such an amazing family.  I am reminded of this Easter Season and am grateful to reflect on the reason for it.  I am truly grateful for the Atonement.  I have always had an appreciation for it, but it wasn't until Jack passed that The Atonement brought on an entirely new meaning.  I am so grateful for my Saviour.  I am thankful that our Heavenly Father loved us enough to send Him to save us.  To make eternal families a reality.  I am so grateful that He broke the bands of death and made it possible for us to return to live back with our Heavenly Father someday.  Sometimes "Someday" can't come soon enough.  I miss Jack but I KNOW...I KNOW that I will be with him again.  He is NOT gone...he's just someplace else for the moment.  He's busy and I'm happy to know that he's doing the work of our Father.  Today I am so grateful for this knowledge and for the gift of our Saviour.

Happy Birthday Livvy Loo!


Happy Birthday Livvy Lou!! Isn't she BEAUTIFUL!  Gotta love that cake that her cute momma made.  VERY Talented!


TWO gorgeous girls!! 


I'll have to find a picture, but every single time Coby gets near Livvy or Lu Lu he HAS to snuggle with them.  He puts his face up to their's so that they are both cheek to cheek and gives me the..."I want a little girl" Look!  I have to admit...it's starting to work!

Corb takes up Soccer


 Corb's team. 

Corb's Soccer picture




This is Corb's first year of playing soccer.  I have to admit he's a regular little PRO!  His first game the he completely dominated the game.  He got 4 goals.  I was super proud!  The coach is GREAT!  He's so fun with the kids.  The first game he had them all huddled together and said..."Now...which goal is ours?"  To everyone's surprise they ALL pointed to the WRONG goal...  It was pretty funny!  All the parents are great supports and cheers everyone else's kids on.  It's super fun!

Two Bros a 'chillin'



I know...I know...maybe not so "chill" here...




I love that Jades LOVES to be with his big brother...and Corb loves the admiration I assure you!




One day after school, I popped some popcorn for the boys and they both got on the couch and munched their little snack together.




I love moments like this when they are buddies and I can feel that old familiar happiness deep deep down!



If you look closely you may just see one more little/big brother right in between them.  You really have to squint though!  Miss ya Jackie Joo!  If you were here...I may even splurge and get the BUTTER popcorn!  :)

Loving this little muffalotta



This little boy gets cuter and cuter every single day!!


Today he woke up from his nap and wanted his favorite white blankie that my cute Grandma Burton crocheted for Jack...aka the "Jack" blanket**(**maybe that's why he feels the  need to tote it around all the time**), a piece of Great Harvest bread and to sit on the back deck watching the cars go by.  He just wanted to sit out there and chill for a minute or two while he continued to "wake" up.  


This is one the cutest things he's been doing lately.  Since Coby insists that we get our milk from Winder Dairy every week, we have LOTS of empty milk containers by the door.  My mom showed him how to line up the empty milk containers, get a ball and try to knock them over like bowling.





After he "carefully" lines up all the milk containers, he throws the ball and then starts yelling "YAAAAAAAAAYYYY" as he's clapping his chubby little paws!  It's pretty entertaining I must say!  I could watch it for hours and not get bored!




 Here's a shot of him playing in the OVERGROWN sandbox!  OH...I LOVE him!  I never get sick of the cute face or that beautiful smile!
