A Furry Friend Leaves Us...

Sparky left her family and went to heaven yesterday at 4:30pm. She had a great life. Was a furry ball of fun and would ususally give Daisy and recently Jack a run for their money. Sparky was given to Larkyn on her 16th birthday and has been with her ever since. When Jeremy came into the picture Sparky didn't want anything to do with him. It took her a great deal to really warm up to Jeremy and in the last few years we couldn't get her from under our feet. Her new recent owners Jack and Abigail loved the furry hair. In fact in the last year Jack would use Sparky as a bean bag jumping on her and giving her loves all throughout the day. We know that Jack will miss her out of the two. After a great and happy 16 year life she was a friend and great dog to have in our family. She will be missed tremendously.

Easter 2011

Last year wasn't the as big as this year for easter. Last year Jack was learning to walk while Abi was only 2 - 3 months old. This year both of them are running like wild little indians. This Easter it started on Saturday with a Ward Easter Egg Hunt. Jeremy was aerating lawns so I braved the cold weather and took the kids to hunt easter eggs. A lot of people from our ward showed up so it was really fun.

Here is little Abi, probably freezing.

Jack wrapped up warm holding his easter egg bag.

Both of their easter bags, which weren't really used anyway. We ended up collecting only 3 easter eggs.

That night the easter bunny stopped by dropping off some goodies.

For Jeremy two new movies - The A Team and RED which are really good.

For Jack & Abigail, new easter baskets, inside they found small felk easter baskets for next year to collect those easter eggs, squirt guns, bubbles, a pail with a shovel and gardening tools, and some new hard bound books.

Here is a closer look.

Abi checking things out.

Jack making sure he got the right tools to start helping dad out in the garden.

The biggest hit of all, his Abi's new easter egg basket to use for a hat and his BUBBLES.

After checking things out it was time to get ready for church. Jeremy and I just recently got called to be Nursery Leaders, which works well for us. Jack being in Jr Nursery and Abi, well lets just say we don't get to listen to the lesson with her, she is a BUSY BODY.

Her Easter dress was actually given to her from her Aunt Brooke for Christmas. It just felt more fitting for easter. Thanks Brooke for the beautiful dress.

What a beautiful girl!

Jack with his BUBBLES.

The twins and their bubbles. What a darling pair they are.

Happy EASTER!

Jack 23 Months

Next month 2 years old. I just can't believe it. Jack is such a serious, but funny little boy. All teeth are in so we aren't having to worry about teething, our biggest thing with him is eating. He can when he wants to be a very picky eater. For instance tonight he wanted craisins and pears now although those are healthy fruits the heartier foods you have to almost bribe him. We now are having to carefully watch what comes out of our mouths due to him being a little copy cat. He loves to work with Jeremy in the yard and we are really excited for this summer/spring to be outside and go swimming.

He loves movies and copies what they say his favorite movies right now are Despicable Me, Toy Story all 3, Tangled, Monsters Inc, Cars and lets not forget Madagascar 1 & 2.
