Caleb Pictures!

Cinnamon Creek

On Saturday we went to Cinnamon Creek for a picnic and a hike. Mark went up to check out the camp ground (it's church owned) because he is going there for the Father's and Son's campout this weekend and for Youth Conference in July. Being the Stake Young Men's President, he is incharge of both! So we went to check out the facilities and to just enjoy being in nature as a family. The boys had a great time! On our hike, James found a snake (of course), and Andrew found a caterpillar.

These next two pictures are Caleb and Mark, tired after a long day outside!

Reflections of Christ

I came across this slide show "Reflections of Christ," and found it very beautiful and touching. I love the hymn "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing," and the music combined with the pictures are so moving and reaffirm my testimony of the Savior.

For many years the Mesa Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mesa, Arizona)
has had exhibits on the temple grounds during the Easter season. This year, there was also a'Reflections of Christ' photography exhibit in the Mesa Temple Visitor's Center. The photographer was
given permission to photograph Pageant cast members for the exhibit. They traveled to variouslocations in Arizona that the photographer felt looked like the places in Israel where the events
took place and recreated the scenes.The photographer worked with a few other individuals to put together a 5 minute slideshow which
includes every image from the exhibit set to the hymn 'Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing.'Just remember when you're watching the video that the photographs are real, they aren't
paintings... Incredible! Remember to maximize the video so you can see it full screen. You can expand
the screen to fit your entire computer screen for a better view by clicking on the lower right hand
square icon (next to the volume).

Caleb's Blessing Day

Here is a picture of our boys on the day Caleb was blessed. We had a great day with our families. We missed those that were unable to come, but had about 40 members of our families there.

Here I am. Very happy to not be pregnant and enjoying my little baby, my wonderful family, and the beautiful spring weather.

Andrew

Here is our Andrew! This picture was taken a year ago at disneyland, but it expresses his fun personality. He is quite a character! He has been saying some really funny things lately, and I need to write them down so I don't forget them.

A few days ago, I noticed that Caleb had a scratch on his head. Andrew had just been by him giving him a kiss. This is how our conversations went.

Mom: Drew, did you scratch Caleb?

Andrew: Ummm........some people do some people don't.

Before I could ask him what kind of person he was, I did what you should never do when disciplining children. I started to laugh at him! I still have no idea if he scratched his brother or not. What kind of answer is that?!?!?!

Whenever I nurse Caleb and Andrew is near by, he always sits next to me and puts his feet on Caleb's head.

M: Andrew, please take your feet off your brothers head

A: But mom, I have to.

M: Why do you have to

A: Because I just do. He needs it.

That's all I can think of now. I'll add more later.

Here is Andrew singing the Darth Vador (sp?) theme song. We hear this at least 15-20 times each day! Oh, and excuse the messy kitchen. We had a lot of guests over and hadn't finished cleaning up!
