Easter

Our Easter Sunday started out with us attending Megan and Tyler's ward where they spoke on the atonement and the resurrection and did a great job. We helped tend Judson and Myla during Sacrament meeting. Then we headed over to our ward. We were able to celebrate Easter with all of our family on Sunday afternoon.

My first time growing Easter grass.

A very nice family picture

Talon's First Birthday

Talon turned one on March 4th. We celebrated his birthday the next day at Court and Krin's home. We had a yummy lunch and then enjoyed cake and cupcakes. Talon is such a happy and easy going little guy.

Welcome Myla Evelyn Williams

On Tuesday morning around 7 am we got a phone call from Megan, telling us that her water broke and they were on their way over to drop off Judson and then head over to the hospital. Around 2 pm that afternoon, they welcomed Myla Evelyn into their family. She weighted 7 lbs. 5 oz. and was 20 inches long. We took Judson later that afternoon to meet his baby sister.

Birthday Celebration

On Saturday, Feb. 19th we had AJ's siblings over to celebrate his dad, Keith's 83rd birthday. We had a wonderful dinner and a yummy cake.

AJ wrote him a poem:

Keith Jackson

83rd Birthday

This is for the Old Man

Who's turning eighty three?

Still happy to be moving

Who says he's geritol free

He gets up every morning

Without a place to go

Eats a little breakfast

Life should be this slow

His children all have families

His wives have passed away

That leafves him time for living

Or even time to play

I think I'll go out flying

Or work the garden here

Another book I'd like to read

Or take a nap my dear

Life is oh so pleasant

I've got few cares you see

Life just couldn't be better

When you're turning eigthy-three

So let me just sit down

And take a little nap

There's no one here to hassle me

Or give me any crap

I don't know how I'll blow them out

These candles on my cake

Let's all get in a circle

And hope that there not fake

I'll raise this glass of water

And say a little cheer

And offer up a lasting toast

I hope I'm here next year.

I've Been Forgiven

For those of you who read this and attended my marriage prep. class will know this story. Thirty-two years ago was our first Valentines Day celebration after our marriage. And my sweet wonderful husband gave me jewelry...necklace, bracelet and earrings. Being the budget conscious, pratical wife I declared that we couldn't afford them and he ended taking the jewelry back. I hurt his feelings to the point of where he never has bought me jewelry since. I don't know why and I'm not questioning but this Valentine's AJ totally surprised me with JEWELRY...it's taken 32 years. I was so excited and love my necklace and earrings. He is such a wonderful husband. I love you!

The picture doesn't do them justice!

Cousin Sleepover

Last Friday we planned a sleepover with 4 of our grandkids. We planned several activities for the evening. I think they all had a great time. We certainly did. We'll be having another one this summer! Their parents came over for french toast in the morning and then it was over.

Dinner consisted of fruit, chicken nuggets, toasted cheese sandwiches and chips...
