Did you know?

You can make an adorably tiny pizza using the metal lid from a can of juice concentrate. My mom used to do this with my siblings and I when we were little so we could make our own tiny, personal pizzas. So fun! Now she is doing it with my daughter. Living with Nana has its perks =)

Our Easter.....in PICTURES!


Dying of the eggs
hunting for her basket...each egg led to another clue


Baskets found!



THE SPOILS


Pomp and Circumstance

Family picture in our Easter duds.

Cousins! We got to spend Easter with the Christensens.
A good time was had by all.

Easter Egg HUNT!

The speckled ones have money in them =)

Final score:

Natalie: $8

Henry: $3

Lest you think we are too commercial, please enjoy the following and know that I have a testimony of our Savior Jesus Christ. I know He lives and He loves us, and through Him we may return to our loving Father in Heaven. When asked what Easter was about, Natalie would say, "JESUS!"......success.



This one is also good...in case you haven't seen it yet.

Happenings

Much has happened of late. We have had visits from my uncle and my two sisters (along with their cute kids), visited some Ropers in St. George and South Jordan, and had job interviews and a few "firsts." Here are a few photos to document some of these happenings. Fortunately for you, I am not good at remembering to use my camera =)
Natalie with many of her Cottam cousins when my sisters came for a visit.

Visiting Mom Roper, Laura, and her kids (pictured here with Natalie). We met them in St. George for the weekend.

Playing at the park in St. George.


Natalie's FIRST dance lesson...
also in the way of firsts, Natalie gave her first talk in Primary not long ago. It was precious.

Henry's first prom......just kidding. He just got to wear this little diddy for his one-year-old pictures (thank you, Tracy).

During a brief trip to Utah, we got to meet my good friend Debbie's baby. I am sorry I didn't get to see all my Utah friends, but it was a very quick trip...

Visiting Aunt Laura

Natalie and Aunt Anne pulling faces one last time before her mission.

Good luck in Taiwan, Anne!!

Natalie and Ashley as giggly as ever - they have such fun together.

Visiting John's mom in her classroom.

Taking a break on the horsey on the trek home.

Uncle James surprised us with a visit as well. Note the matching shorts - sweetness.
