Mother's Day 2010

I LOVE being a mom!!! I could not ask for, beg for, or pray for for better children. I love them so so so very much.

On Mother's Day this year I was SPOILED rotton. Alyssa made me pancakes and bacon. She even made my coffee and it was perfect! Zachary was extra sweet, hugging me, and cuddling with me as I read. Eric and the kids showered me with gifts. I got a candle , a book I had wanted for a long time, a handmade scarf made by Alyssa, and a beautiful bottle filled with colored sand made by Zachary. I felt so loved and am so truly blessed to be Alyssa and Zachary's mom.

Arkansas 2010

At the end of April we flew back to Arkansas for Ron's funeral. It was so nice seeing Jeanne and Scott, & Cindy too. The funeral was beautiful and went well. Jeanne really wanted the kids to have fun so she planned some fun things. Of course we went to the rock shop! Every time we go the kids ask to go there. It is a cute little shop with a TON of rocks and little knik knacks. They went swimming, running, and bug hunting. Alyssa and Cindy went running each day while I did my bible study. I could not think of a more beautiful setting for me to be in God's word. Here a few pictures from our trip.

April 2010

Only in Vegas can you one day be swimming in warm weather and the next day be sledding in SNOW! I love Las Vegas!!!

April 2010-Easter

Easter this year was bittersweet. We lost Eric's dad the day before. He had been battling with illness for the past few years and on April 3rd he went home to be with Jesus. He will be greatly missed.

Later that night we decided to make ressurection cookies. This was such an awesome experience. We will definitely make this a family tradition! I will blog later on the making of these. Here a few pictures of our Easter.

March 2010

Lots of things happening in March! Zachary learned to ride his bike and take a shower on his own!!! We celebrated St. Patrick's Day with green pasta, played a ton of soccer, and were finally able to open up windows! What a great month!

February 2010

Back in February Eric took Alyssa to Cornerstone's Annual Daddy Daughter Dance. It is something they both really look forward to every year. They enjoy dessert and dancing with a beautiful story called "The Princess Kiss" read to them by Cornerstone's Pastor. While they were there, Zachary and I went on our own little date!

Happy 4th!! 2010

What an amazing day! We spent the day at Desert Shores with our great friends Russell and Annette. The day was perfect. The weather was beautiful! It didn't get higher than 97 degrees and in Las Vegas that is amazing! Lots of swimming, eating, and awesome fellowship! Here are a few pictures from the day.
