Happy Easter

I don't know how people get pictures of their kids all lined up and smiling. I swear, my kids see the camera and go running. It's impossible to get a picture of the three together. Owell, maybe one day they will actually behave. Anyway, we had a really nice Easter. The kids were super excited when they saw their baskets and stuffed animals. They carried them around all day and love to lay and cuddle them. We even made it to church and made it through most of the meeting. After a nice lunch and nap we went to my parents house for dinner. The kids had a lot of fun, especially when their cousins Brook and Trevor came to play. I forgot my camera, I had put it in my bag earlier and then took it out to download pictures and forgot to put it back in. It was nice spending time with family, but it made us miss Tyler even more. It's so hard having him away on holidays. Austin saw a picture of him on the piano and kept pointing and saying "dada" it was really sweet.

Ashley's basket. She loves yellow and was very excited about all the yellow stuff. She carries the basket around everywhere, and usually likes to put her dolly in it.

Josh's basket. He cuddled his froggy all day!

Austin's basket. He loves bunnies.

Ashley wouldn't stay still for a picture, but she has the cutest Easter dress. She even had her nails painted to match.

Catch Up

I have been so bad at taking pictures since we've returned to Utah. Now that I finally have a laptop and things have settled down I will hopefully be taking more. I know Ty loves to see pictures of the kids and since he is in Korea I will have to do better for him. Anyway, below are just a few pictures from this past month. I can't believe we've already been in Utah a month! Time flys when you're having fun. It has been so nice to be home, the kids and I have loved all the time we have been able to spend with my parents and our families. The kids have been sick the past couple weeks, so we've had to spend a lot of time at home. It is a little frustrating, we moved home from Japan so we could spend time with family and then the kids get sick and we still miss family stuff. Hopefully they will all be better soon and we can see everyone more often.

Oh dear. Seeing this picture makes my blood pressure rise. Here we are at the Okinawa airport. That was probably the longest day of my life.

Our first morning in our new apartment. Family and friends were so nice to lend us furniture. All our household goods are still in Japan and storage in San Diego, so we had nothing for our time in Utah.

Finally got to meet my beautiful niece Amber. She is a doll!

Jet Lag. This was at 1 AM It took the kids a week to get used to the time change.

We finally have a tub big enough for all three!

Spending time with cousins.

All the grandkids (except Amber who was napping).

Aunt Brittney made these super cute cars for a birthday party. The kids LOVED them. They literally played with them until they were falling apart.
