EASTER

We spent Easter at Jesse's house. Jesse has a great place. The kids had a blast. Late nights early mornings... It was so much fun to have a lot of the cousins discover their Easter baskets together.

Case was apparently really excited to receive his basket... TOO CUTE!

Take a close look at Jackson's pez.... Who do you think it is? He came up to me and said" look Mom a Jesus Pez"...... I about died.( It's actually someone from Star Wars.)

Jackson after the big Easter Egg hunt. He was excited to be the first person to fill his basket.

Folsom Family Reunion

My Grandparents, Jack & Carol Folsom were both diagnosed with cancer this last year. They have good days, and bad days. My Aunt Dawna felt that we should move the reunion up from July to April. Brian and I are so grateful that we were able to attend it. We have so many fun memories with the Folsom family. There is never a dull moment........

Grandpa Jack

Grandma Carol

Here are a few random pictures of the reunion. Lots of fun things always going on.

Uncle Jason teaching McKenzie, and Aubree how to play.

My brother Chad and his wife had twins about three weeks before we had Case. This is a cute little picture of the little ones. ( Case, Evelynn, and Nash)

We are the oldest Grandchildren, and it's been a while since we've seen each other.

Last, but not least. Brian, and Jason doing what they do at the Folsom family reunions.... Just kidding! (Just a sign that the food was really good, and filling.)

Case's Baby Blessing

Case Lorenzo Griffeth

We were really lucky to be able to bless Case while we were out West for Spring Break. Many family members were able to make it on such a short notice. We were so pleased to have such great support from family and friends. Brian blessed Case, along with both our dads, (Grandpa Griffeth, and Grandpa Folsom). Case was also able to have many other worthy brethren help out with giving the blessing.  The name we gave him is Case Lorenzo Griffeth. He is named after his Uncle Casey, and Grandpa Lorenzo. Two wonderful men!  Case was blessed with so many wonderful, and neat things. I'm so grateful  that my mother -in- law wrote a few of those things down for me.

Becoming a better Person...

After General Conference today, we took a few minutes and asked our children what we can do as a family, and as individuals to try to become a better person. McKenzie said,"Hey Mom and Dad, did you know that Sister Bruner ( The Primary Chorister)  makes us say a "Swear Word " in Primary"?  Brian and I start laughing our heads off. We could tell that this had been bothering her or a while. They have been learning the song " How Firm a Foundation". McKenzie decided that she can try to be better by just not saying the word " Hell" when it is to be sung in the song. She also loves Sister Bruner, and just can't believe that she would do such a thing. We then had to explain to Kenzie what a "swear word" really is, and when some words are alright to read and say.

Mothers Day Swap

My good friend is hosting a Mothers Day Swap. Check it out  http://dougandcheryl.blogspot.com/  I've heard of these being done and being very successful. I think it will be a ton of fun. Everyone is welcome to join in the fun.

Oprah Winfrey Show

Lani, and I got to go the Oprah show. Brian keeps lucking out on getting me tickets. It was a blast! It happened to be Friday's live with Oprah. The Topics were good, we listened to Steve Harvey talk, and give advice on couples, or relationships it was prefect. We also got to see, and hear Jennifer Hudson live. We got to take home Steve's new book as well. It was fun, especially because it was with my sister.

Taylor's Birthday!

For Taylor's Birthday he got a little surprise.  His cousin Aubree came to visit. Yeah!! We went down to Chicago for the day. Lani and I got to go to The Oprah Show, then Brian and the kids came downtown, and we went to Ed Debevic's for lunch. This place where the waiter/waitress makes fun of you the whole time. It's a fun place! Check out the size of Taylor's Birthday cake....... Too funny!!!!

We did lots of other fun things downtown, and then went home for more celebration, and enjoyed watching the kids play with all the new toys.
