Home Sweet Home

We are getting ready to say goodbye to our friends in Henderson, NV and our first home.  We have made lots of great memories here and I will always be fond of Henderson.  It has been great to us.

Easter at the Wallentine's and Longenecker's

We spent a day at the Wallentine's and Longenecker's and had a fun time.  Our girls love hanging out with these Wallentine boys.  They think they are their cousins but actually they are Bub's cousins.  Its all good though.

 Mia wanted Grandpa Tom to help her find eggs.  She didn't need the help because Kiki kept on finding eggs and putting them in Mia's bag for her.

                        There is a lot of ground to cover out there and the girls never got tired.  I was tired just                                                           watching them.

 These two are good sports.  They would team up together and help each other get any eggs that were to high and out of reach.

                                       Hailey is trying to tickle her Grandpa.

 We roasted hot dogs.

 It was fun to get to see everyone and spend some time together.  I don't know what Bub and Casey are talking about, but it looks like it was pretty funny.

 Jaden, Bethany, Hailey, and Kiki having a good time.

 This little girl wanted to roast her own hot dog and didn't want any help.  It was covered in ashes by the time she was ready to eat it.  But she was so happy and proud that she made her own food by herself.

 We all sat around and told stories about our funniest memories, most, embarrassing  best missionary stories, scariest things we have seen, etc.  We should record some of those, they were pretty funny.

 Mia and Grandpa Wallentine.

Kids, kids, kids, stop playing by the pit............

Easter at Grandma Tere's

 The girls loved coloring the Easter eggs.  They went through 2 dozen and wanted more.  Then Bub and Uncle Bruce hit the eggs out in the front yard and then the girls went wild.

 Mia was so excited just to find one egg. She wanted to show everyone the prize she had found.  Meanwhile, Hailey was filling her Easter basket as fast as she could.

 Austie, Grandma Tere, Bruce, and Sherpa the dog, (dressed in her Easter Bunny costume).

 The girls are in love with Sherpa.  They keep telling Bub and I that is the kind of dog they want someday.

                                          Our pretty girl is so proud of what she has found.

 There was one more egg so the girls had to rock, paper, scissors to figure out who would get it.

My Mom and I were able to go to the Highland Cemetery and spend some time by my Dad's grave.  Easter time is such a good reminder of what our purpose here on earth is for.  I am so grateful to know that because of our Savior Jesus Christ, I will get to be with my Dad again someday.  We miss him so much but love him even more.

The Sandy Aquarium

                                                    The girls were pretending to be otters.

We spent Hailey's spring break in Utah with both sides of our family.  We had so much fun.  My Mom took us and the girls to the Sandy Aqaurium and we all had a great time.  Bub was scared of the anaconda-lol. I was scared of the octopus, my Mom wasn't scared of anything, Hailey was fearless and touched anything she could get her hands on and Mia touched a snake.  It was a good time and great memories.
