Easter, Friends, Family...

After the wedding on the 23rd my family went to Disneyland, Bri and Lish headed for D.C., Ryan and Lynnae went on their honeymoon,...and the boys and I had the house to ourselves! (I just want to say thanks mom and dad for all your wonderful talents and effort. You serve so much, and it really shows. Thanks for letting us stay at the house and mooch off you for the week! We were sad you were gone on vacation while we were there, but glad you got to get away and have some fun and relaxing time.) We had a wonderful Easter with the Johnsons. Grandma Johnson was the easter bunny this year-sadly I am slacking on my motherly responsibilities because I was so caught up in the wedding, traveling, and the stuff I was helping with that I did not think at all about Easter until that day! At least the easter 'bunny' stuff. We have talked with Damon about what Easter is about and it is fun to hear him understanding and asking us questions about Jesus, the Atonement, and His Resurrection.
Damon and Jonas were so happy with all the stuff from Grandma and Grandpa (aka easter bunny). They got books, boats, cars, candy...everything that two little boys would want! Thank you so much!
This was my first try at bow ties. Don't laugh-at least not to my face :)

Oh how I love my growing boy! Da my little man, you are my 'best bud'!

And Jo my little sugar bug...I can't believe my sweet baby is not so baby anymore. You are growing into such a fun little boy.

While we were hanging out at the Johnsons, great grandma Johnson came to stay for a few days. It was so fun to see her...and I think this may be the only pic we have with her. Sad it turned out kinda fuzzy, but oh well.

Da with this cousins that are all about the same age. Madisyn and Tycen.

Before we left my friend Chaleese came to hang out with her little boys! She is so great, we have written and stayed close even with my family moving all over the place. Love her. Damon is in between her cute boys (Parker and Payson) in age. They got along so well. So fun to have boys!

Love ya Leese!

Da and Char

Grandma and Da. We sure love you! Thank you for all you do.

We went on a few walks out in the yard...and beyond. Da loves being outside, and especially to be on anything that is motorized. He loves being on Grandpa's tractors. I love this view of the fields and mountains. I miss it...

We were so happy to come home back to Nebraska, and especially to see Kyle. The only thing was I hated going home without being able to see all the family or spending time with everyone we love. I hope next time things will not be as stressful or time restrained. But I guess you could always say that and never be satisfied. Just know we love you all. It was so good to see you, and those we did not get to see or have time to visit with we hope to be there again soon!
