My Day

I get my own special day for having the greatest job in the whole world! I had a perfect Mother's Day and loved extra hugs, kisses, and help.

We went to Temple Square after church and a two hour family nap. The flowers were gorgeous and the kids looked cute, but they were just a little too goofy to get anything spectacular. We still got a few cute ones though.



Zack is always the hardest to get pictures of. Out of the 80+ pictures I took, this is one of the only ones that he wasn't pulling a silly face.




So I need your opinion, which picture of the kids do you like better? Neither is super duper great, but I want to print one of them.

I sometimes get a little teary-eyed when I see an ad where the kids are looking and smiling and not pulling weird faces. I know that to ever get a picture like that, it would take hundreds and hundreds of photos and hundreds and hundreds of hours of editing, although I'm pretty sure the most skilled of photo editors would agree that working with my turkeys would be a lost cause. (Even though I do think they are pretty cute.)

I like the top one the best. I love how Carlie is the epitome of a two-year old in it.She is absolutely adorable, as are the other two.

I like the second picture better of all of them! They're both really cute. I think it looks better than you think it does. All of them are really cute.

Your kids always look so cute in pictures. I think Cadence is going to be a Disney Princess at Disney World, because she already has the smile and head slant down. I like the 2nd picture as well. Happy Mother's Day!!!

I love the pictures! I had to laugh when I read what you wrote about taking 80 pictures to get one good one. It's the same way in our house, too! I like the first picture the best, but they are both adorable.

Your kids are beautiful! I'm glad you had a good mother's day.

I say pic #2. Oh the joys of taking pics of kids. I thought I might actually hurt Kamden last night taking his 3 years old pics. I'm so glad you had a happy mother's day and...family nap? what's that. That would be so fabulous and make any mom's day spectacular!
Such cute kiddos.

Do you even remember me?

I'm super far behind on my blog, so this should be interesting.  Will I stick with it?  Probably. . . or not.  But I hope because I have too much to be thankful for to keep it all to myself.  So, this is an update since last OCTOBER when I last posted an entry here.  No picture for now.  No time! About us as of late-ish. . .    JJ-  He's 35 and he goes to work everyday.  He has crappy knees.  But he is a gem.  He's a hard worker and a marvelous dad. He moved us into a new house that we love in April.  We are still close to our old neighborhood and get to see old friends a lot.  It's great.   April-  That's me.  I  am a headless chicken.  But not right now because I have two kids napping, one at a friend's house, and one at school.  That is why I am blogging!  I am taking classes online to earn my elementary ed degree so I can start a preschool next fall.  I'm pretty excited about that.  Pretty awesome.  I hate math and I'm not good at it.  I'm sort

A fairy gets her wings. . .

Carlie is a happy baby. If you I haven't told you, she's about the world's easiest baby, and she's so smiley! JJ has gotten her to laugh more than I have, and this video is just cute. It's Sunday afternoon, and the kids are all wearing their typical after church attire- Cadence's third dress-up, Zack's undershirt since his church shirt is now dirty, and JJ wearing his pj's.
