I've got a month's worth of pictures to catch up on.  There will probably be more pictures than words.

When Shelbi was four years old she developed a crossed eye which resulted in years of treatment and eye patching. It wasn't fun. Occasionally I think that I'll see Brynn's eye cross, so just to be safe we took her to an ophthalmologist.  Luckily all was okay.  As an added bonus, she got to wear these cool glasses because she had her eyes dialated.  She didn't love them.

A month or two ago I made some beef enchiladas and was so proud of myself for making extra to put in the freezer for another time.  I wasn't proud of myself today when I cooked them, but forgot to cover them with foil.  Inedible.

No she's not spoiled.  Why do you ask?

Shelbi's induction into the National Honor Society.



The cutest mouse in the whole second grade musical. She played "Baby Mouse."

As part of the Stake Public Affairs committee, we put on a community Easter program sponsored by the Stake.  I was in charge of decorations.  I feel like I've been living and breathing flowers for the last week.


A beautiful night at the middle school.

New Easter dresses and ties

When I look in the mirror I don't see a 41 year old woman.  But I definitely do here.

All ready for Easter dinner with pretty china and bunny napkins folded by Bailey.

Anna and Christoph put down to bed.

Braces look good on him!

Gorgeous girl ready for Prom.


The other girls wanted to dress up too.


Oh dear.

Bailey used to practically live in her dress up clothes.  We pulled them out tonight and she was drawn right to this Anna costume. It probably fits her better now than it ever did.  

Brynn loved having a real, live Anna to act out Frozen with.  Here they're singing along to "Do You Want to Build A Snowman" and sitting sadly outside of Elsa's bedroom door.  It's quite heart-breaking and dramatic.

She's holding a bite of mashed potatoes in her mouth, refusing to swallow.  It's been about 45 minutes.


Feeling the love at Braums, getting ice cream.


Happy Mother's Day to me!
