Easter Egg Hunt

By -
Our ward (church) put on the most fun, amazing Easter Egg Hunt in the park for all the kids. Aiden had a bit of a rough start (the girls just can't keep their hands off him!) but we had a good time.
Right after Aiden got "loved" into the cement, he ran off and stubbed his nose on the ground. OUCH! Daddy Rex took good care of him, though, and played with him on the jungle gym to cheer him up.




"Whoa! How'd these get here?" It took Aiden several days to figure out that the treasures inside were edible. He was too fascinated with the actual plastic eggs to figure out the candy part.




'Charlie', Aiden, and Chloe digging through the egg drop-off.



This is what heaven is for a one-year-old.


Smiles were pretty scarce that day, but at least Aiden's looking at the camera!



After we got home, Aiden helped me make some rolls for Easter dinner. What a good helper he is!! He loves to stand on his stool and watch us cook in the kitchen.



Happy Easter, little Aiden Bear!! We love you!

Some Time Away in Paradise

Rex and I went to Maui, Hawaii together, just the two of us!  It's times like this when we get to see the value of him traveling so much - the plane trip and hotel were completely paid for with points.  Cha-ching!  Rex totally spoiled me too.  The Mariott we stayed in was fit for a king and queen - a humongous tub, fully stocked kitchen, big comfy bed, an amazing breakfast buffet every morning, a tropical paradise of pools and hot tubs and beautiful flowers every where... a girl could get used to this.   We spent the first night and morning cramming in some homework for our scuba-diving certification class.  The next 2 days were spent at the scuba shop and in the ocean, passing off drills and skills needed to not-die.  And good news.  We did not die and completely lost ourselves underwater looking at the beautiful fish and eels and turtles around us.  Okay, just one turtle.  But it was pretty memorable!  I didn...

Mist of Darkness

So now that I have finally caught up with my blogging, I feel that I need to explain where I've been. This blog is mainly for journal purposes, so just ignore this post if it makes you uncomfortable. I've known that I've struggled with depression for five years now. I've been in some dark places in my life with horrible thoughts and temptations, but it's been under control for the most part. I've been "missing" for the past 2 months because I was slowly spiraling downwards without realizing it. True, I never had any suicidal thoughts this last time (maxing out your Zoloft should have SOME kind of effect) but I started losing interest in the things that usually make me happy. Blogging. Creativity. Photography. My family. Sunshine. With the winter, it seemed that everything had turned gray and dead, and not just the plants. My husband kept urging me to do something just for me, but I always felt that I didn't have time, and if I did, that i...

      We christened the new van by going on TWO road trips this month. The first was to Oklahoma (and I guess, technically, Branson, MO as well) and the next weekend was to Utah to celebrate Rex's sister's wedding! So so so happy for her and her new hubby.  We got our first picture as a family with EVERYONE wearing a suit, well, except me of course. What handsome men surround me!
