Happy Birthday to my baby!

Today is Darren's birthday and I can hardly believe it. I know I am way behind on my blog, as well as so many other things but I thought I would post a few pics of the day. He is growing so fast and makes us smile and laugh on a daily basis.

He really didn't need anything and so we got just a few gifts.

The kids were so funny and all wanted to play with his presents. I guess it doesn't matter how old you are...baby toys are cool.

Darren got his own cake. He started by taking the sprinkles off and eating them. Then he had a few good handfuls but I think he gets more messy when he eats tacos and feeds himself.

Happy birthday buddy. He is such a sweetheart. We just really like our kids! (now I am going to get grief from them because Alex and Brit have both had birthdays an no posts from them! In my defense, we were out of town and then have had some pretty significant computer problems while trying to get the kids bathroom put back together which is completely unusable right now. Maybe things will slow down after this week....)


Easter 2009

Better late than never, right? No, I promised my sister I would post a picture of my kids Easter dresses. They looked very cute and it was fun to sew again. It seems like so long since I have. We had fun having Easter at Grandpa and Grandma's. We colored eggs and had a pretty fun hunt.
For me though the best part of Easter wasn't the day but the week leading up to it. We spent every day doing a devotional where we focused on what was happening to Christ at that time. Aaron did a great job tying in the empty egg cartons to the empty tomb. It was the best Easter I can ever remember and I know that it is because the focus was where it should have been. I am so grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ!
