April/May Update

On Easter Sunday, we not only celebrated the resurrection of our savior, but also the baptism of our second child, Julia! She asked me to baptize her and it was my pleasure to do so!

In early May, my brother Marty, his wife Patsy and boys, Blake, Tanner , David and Chase came for a short visit. We went to Bounce Town (a place with bounce houses, obstacles courses, air hockey and tons of other fun things to do!), we had a birthday party for David and Chase and they were able to come to our homeschool talent show.

Part Three: Marysville

After leaving Disneyland, the kids and I drove up to Northern California to seeing my dad, stepmom and step grandparents. We had a fabulous time hanging out at my step grandparents farm. We had a huge yummy breakfast every morning and then headed out to feed the cows.

We were fortunate enough to be there in the spring, so that meant that there were lots baby cows! Two were born while we were there and we even got to watch one being born! Here are a few pictures of the two babies. "Sparkles" (named by Noah) was born early in the morning before we were awake.

And "Star" (named by Julia) was born later that morning right after we were done feeding the cows.

We also went to Alta Sierra Biblical Gardens and a chinese buffet for lunch (YUM!)


Joe was able to come join us towards the end of the week. We were all so happy to be reunited!


We also had a bon fire, had fun catching up with cousins, jumping on the trampoline, riding down the driveway in the wagon and relaxing.
