Happy Easter & Happy Birthday!

Ryan's birthday happened to fall on Easter this year, thus our ham was replaced with a buffalo chicken pizza and a pazookie (per the birthday boy's request). The kids had an exciting morning after being visited by the Easter Bunny. Boston thought he was in heaven eating reeces peanut butter cups for breakfast while the girls were a little confused at why the Easter Bunny would leave them underwear in their baskets. (Yes, they got candy too, he's not that lame!)

We enjoyed church and it was nice to focus on the Savior and the real meaning of Easter. Olivia had so much to tell us about all she learned in primary today. She told us about the nails in Jesus' hands and feet and then said "now he lives in heaven with another guy who has his same hair." She cracks us up!

Although it has warmed up considerably and alot of the snow has melted, it is STILL winter! We are beginning to wonder if spring will ever come. Maybe by June we can put away our moon boots and pull out the flip flops.... who knows?

King for a... minute

Today in primary we talked about King Benjamin from the Book of Mormon. Cally got to stand on top of the "tower" and cry repentance unto all the children! She felt so special and it just so happened that Mom had her camera for this kodak moment. What a cute girl! I'm sure Olivia was listening intently even though the bottom of her dress was up over her head exposing more of herself than I'm sure anyone would care to see. (Mom opted NOT to take a picture!)

We did it!

We have been wanting to start our own blog for a while now, and um, well I guess we just haven't gotten around to it. Ryan is keeping busy doing his normal thing... taking naps, watching sports center and playing golf. Ok, just kidding... I guess -45 is a little cold to be playing golf. He loves his job, and his other job (church), and his other job (Us). Let's put it this way, we really value our time with him! I am enjoying being in the Primary Presidency and love being a Mom (most days). I don't even mind living in a home where unidentified flying objects are common - thanks Boston for keeping us on our toes! The girls are enjoying school and like all of us, are getting excited for spring. McCall is reading so well and reads the Book of Mormon to us every night, while Livvy composes her own hymns (very entertaining!).

One of our favorite things to do as a family is watch "Americas Funniest Videos", which Boston lovingly calls "Fritos". We had 5 bags of Fritos in our cupboard before we realized he wasn't asking for chips!

There are so many great things about living here in Wisconsin, but we really miss all of our family and friends back in Utah. We hope this will help us stay a little bit more connected.

Until next time.....
