Cambria Selfies

I'm constantly finding Cambria selfies uploaded to Amazon Photos, so I had to share a few. She is such a beautiful girl, inside and out.

Happy 16th Birthday, Atreyu

Atreyu is 16 and almost finished with his sophomore year of high school. This boy has had my heart since day one. Atreyu is such a hard worker. He puts his all into his schoolwork and he's basically maintained a 4.0 since middle school. He joined track and he's making a lot of friends. He's been sick a lot since we moved and the elevation difference has made things more difficult, but he's constantly improving. He's taking driver's ed and growing into an amazing young man. We had two mini celebrations for him. Grandma made him a couple cakes for one, and I made Boston Cream Pie and Four-Layer Delight for the other.

Adventurers

For years, our kids have loved to play "adventurers" with their cousins and friends. It's basically LARPing. They always have so much fun! I saw that Cambria had taken some pictures of Atreyu and Archer battling and I had to share them.

Easter

At the beginning of April, we were finally able to start moving into the house. As thankful as I am that we were able to stay with Eddie and Bernie, it's so nice to have our own place again. While we don't have everything moved in yet, I had to decorate a little bit for Easter. 

I love the opportunity Easter gives us to remember our Savior and ponder on all he did for us. Over the past few years, my testimony of the Atonement has grown so much. Jesus is my rock. I know that no matter how far I stray, He is always there, solid and strong, waiting for me. He is my shelter. He lifts and protects me from the heaviness of this world. He is my comfort. He strengthens me and offers peace to my troubled and restless heart. He is my friend. He’s someone with whom I can share my greatest joys and deepest heartaches. He is my Savior. He is the one who has rescued me and has taken my sins and sorrows upon himself. He made it possible for me to return to live with Him, my Heavenly Father, and my family someday. I love My Jesus and I will forever be grateful to him for his atoning sacrifice on my behalf.

Egg Hunt

I took the littles and Cambria into town for the annual Easter egg hunt. While it wasn't exactly a "hunt" like the kids hoped it would be, the had fun collecting eggs. Cosette saw one of her new classmates and I saw some people there that I haven't seen in years. I'm looking forward to doing more in this community.
