Happy Easter!

What a great season Easter is!  It is a great time to remember our Savior Jesus Christ.  General Conference was such an inspiration and motivator for me.   All the talks seemed made just for  
me.  I am sure everyone feels that way, which shows how inspired the apostles are.  I loved Elder Holland's talk on the Savior especially.  It gave me some new insight into the atonement of our Savior.  He described the Savior's solitary journey to overcome sin and death and testified of the resulting blessings to all mankind.  At the end of his talk to asked for us not to leave the Savior alone like he was on the cross.  He is here for all of us... all we have to do is to come unto Him.  The talk gave me an even greater appreciation for the atonement and what a miraculous thing it is.  

For Easter we went over to our Grandparents and had dinner together and did a little egg hunt.  We also fasted that Sunday.  I haven't done so for so long because of the pregnancy and then the breastfeeding.   I felt really sick and was wondering why, and then it hit me...I hadn't fasted for a long time and it was taking a toll on me.  Anyway, it was such a great Easter Sunday and the family was excited to see Cameron as usually.

St. George Trip

                                                                     At Kolob Canyons




So went on a road trip to St. George recently for a weekend.  It was so fun to get away from the storage units for a while.  Jake's foster sister Minta was getting her endowments out and we decided to go down and make a fun weekend out of it.  We had so fun and it was beautiful WARM weather.  I don't like being cold.  I think I have really bad circulation, because I get cold really easily.  We went to the pool, went bowling, and just relaxed.  It was nice not to have to worry about anything and just chill.  I really needed it and Cameron did really well.  He loves riding in the car.  He was an amazing road tripper.   We also stopped by Kolob Canyons on our way home!

So it has been quite a while since I have updated our blog.  I decided it is was time for a mega update!!!  Good thing our lives aren't that interesting.

We celebrated my birthday which was March 8th.  It was a great birthday thanks to friends, family, and of course my wonderful husband Jake.   I got a sweet Mac computer which I absolutely love and Jake got me Kelly Clarkson tickets.  She is definately the best american idol in my opinion with Carrie Underwood as a close second.  I didn't like her last album as much, but I know I will love the concert.  Anyway I am 23 years old now and it is my unstoppable year (Michael Jordan's number of course) so I expect great things this year!!!

Cameron is growing like a weed and at his four month check-up was in the 90th percentile for weight and the 98th for height.  He is our little football player.  I love him so much and it is so fun to watch him grow and develop each day.  He is now rolling and sitting up pretty good by himself.  He is such a special boy!  I feel blessed to have the privilege to be his mom.  I didn't think I would ever love someone so fast and powerfully, but I loved Cameron from the second I saw him!  Being a parent is the most amazing and rewarding job in the world.  He gets so excited when Dad comes home and can't stop cooing.  It is cute to see him recognize his parents more and more.
