Happy 21st Anniversary to us!

Happy Anniversary honey!




Yellow is my favorite color!



And these just made my day complete!



I love you Todd Jones and I'm so lucky to be married to you!

(But doesn't yellow mean "friendship?"  Does that mean he only wants to be "friends" now?)  Nope, I don't think so either!

Brandon turns 15!


Brandon had a birthday!  He turned 15 years old on April 25th.  I can still remember Brandon when he was born.....so cute and quiet.  His dimples were to die for!  And now here he is, on the pathway to becoming an amazing young man of God. 

This picture was taken the night of a stake dance Brandon went to.....I actually got him to smile.  Hallelujiah!  What a good-lookin' kid!





One of Brandon's friends (a GIRL) gave him this cupcake on his birthday at school.  Huh?  He told me she gives one to everyone on their birthday....ya, not sure if I'm believing that.....sounds a little fishy to me. :)  I mean seriously, did you see how good looking he is?



He really did like this cupcake, I'm sure of it!  But looks can be deceiving....he definitely wasn't sharing at the time... :)



Brandon and his friend, Sam, at the talent show concert.  They performed a duet together, with these glasses and it was pretty awesome!  Good job you guys!  I love to hear you play, Brandon!




We love you, Brandon, very much and feel so lucky to have you as part of our family!

Happy 15th Birthday! 

Easter 2012

Happy Easter!  This is what our Easter looked like before the kids "dug" into their baskets....all nicely set up and organized.




Eric's basket....



Brandon's basket....





Dallin's basket....



Kyle's basket....



Jacob's basket....yes, he wanted boxers!  Funny kid!




Jacob on Easter morning....




Brandon, showing off his new "Alto Saxophone" tie....





Kyle got a new pokemon game....




Dallin got a cool remote control helicopter....



Eric pretty much got an envelope with money in it....the perfect teenager gift!



It was a nice day and we enjoyed our time together as a family.  All of these events are going by much too quickly for my taste, but I'm trying to squeeze out every last drop of my kids' youth that I can before there's nothing left to squeeze.  I love these guys!
Happy Easter!
