Easter

Our Easter/Conference weekend was so great! I think it was especially for me since I got to see Kyle a little more than usual. He is usually gone to school from 7:30 or 8:00 in the morning to 11:30 or 12:00 at night, but does come home for a quick dinner. Saturdays are a little less but still from 8:00-5:00 seems like a full day. We are so grateful for his hard work to do well in school. We can't wait for the first year to be over! A few more weeks...

Yay for Easter! (Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Johnson and Bitter for your fun Easter presents! Of course Da loved them.)

I am sad that I did not take any pictures, but we had a fun Easter dinner with our friends. Thanks Charles and Valerie for organizing and preparing such wonderful food! The Andersons came as well, Damon loved having his good friends Lincoln and Sidney to play with. We ended up having it outside because it was so nice. Hooray for good weather!

As you can see our little one has gained a few pounds. I do love the chub!


I do not know if it is because we have a new little one or if time just passes by too fast, but our little Damon seems so grown up now! We love seeing him learn and grow. Sometimes I do not realize what he is absorbing until I listen to him while he is playing. He rambles off whatever is in that little brain of his and it amazes me.

What a handsome little guy!

It is so amazing to see how well Damon has done with the addition of little Jonas to our family. I was trying to prepare myself for the worst and was pleasantly surprised. Damon is of course a little to rough sometimes, but there is no denying that he absolutely loves his little brother. He is always wanting to hug, kiss, play, feed, and talk to him.

Visits from Family...

We were so happy to have the Bitter side of the family come and visit a few weeks in March and in April. We sure miss all our families. Nine months or more seems like forever when you are apart. During the first visit my mom, Ryan, Aubbie, and Breanne came.
We know that the 12 hour drive is not the most appealing, but we sure appreciate being able to see you all!

My boys love their uncle Ry!

Jonas and Grandma...



Beautiful Aubbie

The second round came a week later. The Johnson family (Brian, Alisha, Jayce, and baby girl). It has almost been a year since we have seen them! Oh, we are so glad they came! Sorry Lish, I know driving that long when you are so pregnant and ready to be done must have been awful. But you look beautiful, it is no fair that you can look that good when you are pregnant :) We are just glad it all worked out,...and we can't wait to meet that darling little girl! We know that Jayce will be an amazing big brother. He was so sweet and tender with Jonas.

Our fun little trouble makers. Do not be fooled by their innocent looking faces. :)

Last week the final batch came. The rest of my siblings and parents. Thank you all so much, I know that there is not much to do here in Nebraska and coming over your spring break probably was not the most exciting thing to do. But we had a blast and loved having you here. My parents, Brookie, Cambie, Bruce and Breanne. Brookie had her birthday while they were here! It was so fun to celebrate with them.

Thank you again for the visits! We love you!

(We can't wait to see the Johnson side, hopefully just at few more weeks!)
