Easter

Hunting for Easter eggs. We gave Dale and Daisy a head start.





 The little ones didn't catch on to the idea of getting all they could and then eating. They just wanted to eat what the found and stop looking.



 This girl is so white, almost as if a glow is coming from her head. She must be an angel. . . or a devil.












 Can't go wrong with a chocolate bunny
 Hi Dale


Grandma photo-bombing Daisy. This is quite a good shot of her, actually. She looks much younger.

 Beautiful little girl. I call her my Pixie Sprite, because she is so light and dances/runs everywhere she goes, yet she is soooo quiet when she is being mischievous, and even when she's in trouble she dances away laughing. Lately as she's running away she says "You'll never catch me!" and I can't help but think of the story of the Gingerbread man...



Daisy decided to take a name with Grandpa Dean in his favorite chair. Daisy has not been very warm to Grandpa, and yet he talks to her every day trying to interact with her and get her to be his friend. He was tickled that she was willing to sit with him, much less fall asleep there. He wouldn't admit it probably, but he loved it.

 The kids spend a lot of time in the garage on this bean bag watching the TV at the Ellsworths. We don't spend much time downstairs at all, unfortunately for Grandma & Grandpa!

Daisy's baptism day

Today Daisy was baptized by her big brother Brighton. My mom and Adaira got to be the witnesses, grandma Joanna gave the talk on the Holy Ghost, and Dale gave the closing prayer (after Dad has to rush during the closing song to help him put back on his tie and button up his shirt. Brighton was the pianist except for Adaira who played "When I am Baptized" for a special musical number. (A set of twins from another family was also baptized and their kids sang and played the violin). Here is what she has to say about her special day: I felt happy and felt the Holy Ghost. The water was a little cold. At first I was nervous but now I'm happy. I was excited to be baptized and I want to be a kind member of the church. My dad, grandpa Dean and grandpa Dale, great Uncle Dale, uncles Trent, Dean, Don, Duane and David confirmed me. Dad blessed me to seek a testimony of Jesus Christ and of Joseph Smith. He asked her to find quiet times in her life away from screens and devices to be...

 I may just be opening up myself to a bunch of judgment and criticisms with this post here but it is what it is. I've been thinking a lot about motherhood for the past few months. Most of my thinking stems from guilt I feel about my lack of mothering skills, in that I just don't seem to live for being a mom like so many other women I know. Don't get me wrong, I love my kids! But I also love my alone time, the time I have to work part time with other adults, and the time when all the kids are safely tucked in bed. Growing up I didn't dream about being a mom. I didn't like to babysit AT ALL! When it came time to start our family it really wasn't out of a longing desire to be parents (though I was excited for the new chapter in our lives), it was more about timing and that we'd been married a couple years and it just seemed like it was time to start a family. I'm not the super fun mom I always thought I would be, and my lack of "natural" capabil...
