EASTER DAY!












Easter was extra special this year because we blessed Beau. We did it in our home, and Eli gave such an amazing blessing. He said that he had to hurry because he was so heavy. I think he is the biggest baby that has ever been blessed! He wore a 6 month outfit and it was pretty dang tight on him. Ohhhhhhhh I love him so dang much. Once in a while it really just hits me how fortunate I was to get pregnant with him. It was a miracle! Not only was he sent to me but he was sent healthy, strong, happy and beautiful. There is nothing more that I could ask for!

Right before the counselor from the bishopric was supposed to come for the blessing, Mallory fell off of my bed face first and hit the corner of the end table. She hit right by the side of her eye, we were so lucky it didn’t hit her eye. She was bleeding, screaming and shaking. We were so scared because it was a bad fall. Everything turned out okay and the day went on. I was happy that you couldn’t really see the cut in her Easter pictures. Cami wanted me to take a picture of her and put it on my blog, so I took one the day after it happened. Anyway, besides all of that drama Mallory had a really fun day! She had so much fun with her cousins looking for Easter eggs and her Easter basket! Leia was with her Dad, so she wasn’t able to come (we missed you Leia!) I am with Lindsay; the thought of a huge bunny hopping around in my home really scares the crap out of me. As soon as Mal is old enough to understand, I want to really concentrate on teaching her the true meaning of Easter! She knows a little bit about Jesus, and I guess I can only teach her a little bit at a time.

It was so much fun spending the day with my fam! Like always, I’m always sad when they have to go home. I hope that everyone had a nice Easter! Love you all

I loved seeing pics of your fam, they are so cute. You really have such an awesome family. And poor Mallory! Her sad little black eye, I think every kid has to get one once in their life, I'm so glad she's ok.

I Love Mallory's easter dress! It's sooooo cute. And that Beau . . . cute little "chunky monkey". Where did you get his outfit? I need to start thinking about getting one for my babe. And Mallory's sad little black eye! Tell the truth, how did she REALLY get it? Keep posting pictures, I can't get enough!

I forgot about her eye until that picture of her. Poor lil buggah! But you really can't tell in all of the other pictures! I love that one of her where you can see it, because her hair is up and she is wearing such beautiful earings, necklace and bracelet! I love reading your blogs because you write like you are talking. I can just picture you saying outlout OOHHH! I love him so dang much! With a huge smile on your face of course! I think you are right about him being the biggest baby to ever be blessed! What a cutie! I need to see him soon!

I forgot! Max! Oh my gosh! He is just the cutest little guy! Is he still way good? I bet he is! Jarred needs to do a blog on him so we can see more pictures of him! Maybe you could give him the one where you dressed him up in Mallory's princess dress!

Sounds like you had a wonderful Wabbit Day. The little people in your family are so cute. I haven't seen Max since my Baby Shower, he is so cute. I love his hair. I'm sorry Mallory had a little scare, I'm dreading accidents like that one, it's gotta be scary to see your child hurting. Give the big guy(Beau) a big nuzzle for me I can't wait to see him again!

Hey Jess~ I am glad you are doing so well. Your family is so beautiful. Congrats on your baby boy and all on your own! Wow that is so exciting. You are so right, miracles happen daily. I added you to my blog so keep in touch. Jenn

Jenny said...

Hey Jess, It is Jenn. I would love to go out for Kristas bday. Let me know when! Talk to you soon! Jenn

Hi Jess:

Yes, I did have an awesome Easter. Or were you mainly talkin' to the chitlins? How much friggin' fun is this stuff nowadays? What the hell did we do before all these yahoos came into our lives?

I still can't believe Beau came to us the way he did. And yes, I said, US! We are all sooo lucky to have such perfectly healthy 'lil ones. I can't think of any better bleesing. Bleesing? I had to leave that there because I'm a jackass! We are truly blessed though. FoSho!!!

Thanks for always making our little partays so much fun. You and Eli seriously tho the best shindigs on the face of the planet.

I'm glad Mallory is doing better. And I'm glad that Eli was able to cut his blessing short. I would not have been good for Beau to go through the floor and land downstairs in the basement. Damn concrete would have been crack'd fershure!

I love you sooo much!

P.S. I read Cami's comment... you told people about Max's "dress" up day? I'll show you how Columbus beat the hell out of an indian!

Yes, I am watching The Hills. I'm bummed nothing worked out with Brody and Lauren. I read this thing in People Magazine that said MTV is talking to him about a show of his own. But I rather him just be a regular on The Hills. Heidi is annoying. I couldn't figure out why she looked so different, then I read that she had lip injections. She already had her boobs and nose done. Spencer sucks, and his poor sis- I can't decide if I like her or not but she has some funky 80s bangs sometimes. Anyway, we'll definately chat!

Uh Jess? It has been over two weeks now. Come on. Even some pictures would be good.
I totally busted you for the dress up pictures of Max! Sorry bout that!
