I LOVE this picture!!! We couldn't spend Easter at home with Eric, he has to work every holiday, so we packed up and went to the Freemont Indian State Park where he works. They have this awsome kids zone and we ended up spending all day there. Megan and Dustin brought their girls down, and we just played. This picture is looking down the ladder of the pithouse they have made for the kids to get in, it took about 20 shots to get all the girls looking up, but it was worth it!


I don't have any professional pictures of Mary, but this one turned out pretty good. It's down in side the pithouse with all the animal skins.


Easter at Grandma Jackie's is always with ALL the kids, Brittney Ellie, Hailey Kd Dalton, Alyse Makayla and Aubrey, Mattisyn Kelcey Claire and Mary, (not all in the Picture of course) colored eggs and had a ball.



Mary's first easter egg hunt. She thought it was a Great thing to eat the plastic eggs!




Our family, Easter 2009.

like sand through the hour glass, and so on

Wow, does time just slip away. I started this blog with every intention of at least weekly updates, humm, we all can see how that worked out for me. Oh well, better late than never right?
I am sitting here in silence. KD and Ellie are at school, granted tomorrow is the last day of that for the summer, Mom is out (suppring but true) and Eric is at work, and Mary decieded to take a nap, wonders never cease. I relieze how much I count on the maddness that is my family to fill in the gaps in my days. It's hard when the Dr.'s won't give me a date I can go back to work, stupid back.
Mary has learned to crawl, it's hard for me to believe how big she is getting. I look at her and see my KD baby ten years ago and it makes me want to cry. It's said to you a million times a day to not blink, they grow so fast, and it's hard when that realization slaps you in the face. In my next blink KD and Ellie will be done with school and Mary will be ten. How grateful I am to Heavenly Father to have blessed me with my beautiful children. And how I can't wait for the milestones of growth to come, and at the same time dread them as it takes my babies farther away from me.
Eric's job is at least something he enjoys. That's about all the good that can be said for it. It's less than a third of the pay we had, no benefit's and no hope of advancement. kinda sucky, but a job these days is a job. He's doing maintance at a state park and loving it. He likes being outside and it is a nice place, but still, it leaves us living with Mom and not knowing when we will be able to get out. And life just goes on.
