Happy Easter!!! (catch up)

This year we went to Fillmore to spend Easter with Grandma and Grandpa Harper. We are so thankful we did, it was so much fun to spend time with them. Grandma Alice loved coloring eggs with the kids and Grandpa got a kick out of watching them hunt for Easter nests. It was a terrific day.

We love this picture, it is the last one we have with the kids and Grandma. They sure love her!

The Harper's yard is perfect for cute rustic looking backgrounds. The kids had fun posing, at least for a while.

Vincent digging for Trilobites (catch up)

Vincent and I drove out west of Delta to hunt for trilobites. It was so incredibly fun! They gave us each a little pick and a bucket and told us to go at it. We found over 50 fossils! A super cool m&s date.

Vincent gives a nice little comentary on digging. Check it out!

Crazy Rae late Kindergarten Days (catch up)

WE'RE ALIVE!!!!

It's been so long that I have tons to catch up on. So I am just going to add a few random pictures until I can catch back up.

These first few are from Rae's last few months in Kindergarten. The first few are from Dr. Seuss' Birthday. You will see Raelee-Roo-Hoo and Bailey-Boo-Hoo.

This is bathtime with Mona Lisa. Fun times!!!!

And these last few are from Nursery Rhyme day. The girls are the Three Little Kittens who lost their mittens. (actually, they only each lost one).

Happy Birthday Dad!

I just wanted to do a quick post about my dad.

My dad was a worker. Everything he did was to provide for our family. Every cent he made went to the family. He might have changed jobs often, but he worked like a madman at each one. I think he litterally worked himself to death. He did it for us, Dad loved us.

He called me his little angel. At least when I was little. I know that I drove him almost crazy during my teen years and early adulthood. He didn't give up on me, he always believed in me. I miss him.

I remember once when I was about 8 years old, Mom sat all of us kids on the stairs to wait for Dad to come in the house from work. When he walked in, we sang this song. I think it was one of his favorite memories... the smile on his face that night is definitely one of mine. Here you go dad!

I have a family here in earth

they are so good to me

I want to share my life with them

through all eternity

Families can be together forever

through Heavenly Father's plan

I always want to be with my own family

And the Lord has shown me how I can

The Lord has shown me how I can.

-Love you!
