Easter...late.

Happy Easter

Ok so Mike's professor gave him thursday night off and he already had good friday off from work so at the very last minute we decided to go to St George for the weekend and celebrate Easter and Moriella's birthday with my sister Simcah. We had a total blast!

On friday we went on a hike to this little waterfall. It was colder than I thought St George should be at this time of year so we were cold!

Sayde and Moriella loved the water. They were in it for a long time. The funny part was the more that Sayde's pants got wet the heavier they were. They kept getting lower and lower. She had a major plummer's crack!

I love the way that this picture turned out. Moriella is in focus and we aren't. This is her daddy, Chris, and her little brother Asher.

Here is our family photo. It was the best of the bunch even though Eliannah isn't looking.

Then we went out to Chinese food at this really great place! I love Chinese! The next morning Mike and Chris went on a bike ride which Mike absolutely loved! They said that it was the perfect weather even though it was about to rain because it would have been too hot otherwise.

Meanwhile, Simcah and I Made deviled eggs and got all 5 kids ready for the easter egg hunt. We were so crazy and frantic that we forgot the coats. Luckily we were able to get in the easter egg hunt before it started to down pour!!

The kids were freezing and so were we, so we drove back to her house to get jackets and we were planning to go back and eat the potluck but....by the time that we got back it was raining so hard that the food was all wet! ha ha. Simcah grabbed us a plate full, but when we got it home to eat it, it was pretty unappetizing! we made breakfast burritos instead.

Later we went to the swimming pool where Mike got to climb the rock wall. It was so fun! I wish that I had taken a picture of that.

We drove home all night so that we could be home for Easter. I hadn't bought the s6tuff for easter baskets but I thought that I could get candy 50% off at the after easter sales and we could do it a couple days late since I was too tierd to get some Saturday night. Well there was no candy on sale! So anyway, Easter was more of a spiritual day. I didn't get pictures of the girls in their dresses yet because they were crabby after church. Maybe next blog! lol

Long Road trip!

Ok so I went to a DRESS PARTY that my aunt does, and it was farther away than I expected it to be. lol. Eliannah fell asleep on the way so when we got there I didn't want to wake her so I let her sleep in the car while I looked at the GORGEOUS dresses that I bought for easter...sorry you have to wait till then to see them. lol Anyways, so right as we were going to leave she woke up. So she had to stay in the car for a whole 'nother hour! She kept crying so we were giving her bits of fruit bar the whole time. When we got home this is what she looked like!

She is the cuttest messy girl EVER!

So we had about 4 days of beautiful nice weather, before it started snowing again. I hate winter! It is the WORST season! I am so bumbed out that it is snowing again. Arg!


Anyway, here are pictures of my beautiful girls! They are so much fun! They are always making me laugh. Eliannah is the funnest in the bathtub because she splashes at the water as if she is a dog digging for a bone. Lol. And then she smiles up at me with the biggest grin of enjoyment! I love it! Then when I get her out she hates getting lotioned and dressed! She will wiggle off my lap and then crawl super fast to the bathroom lean over the side of the tub and try to splash in the draining water!

Sayde is so cute and her imagination is suddenly so prominant! The other day we couldn't find her Belle princess and found it under the couch. She tells me that the big bad wolf is under there and Belle was scared, but she saved her. lol Then, the funniest part, she tells me that she is going to give Jasmin to the wolf to eat instead!!! How funny...and a little morbid. Then after she puts Jasmin under the couch, she stands there with her hands on her hips, yelling at the couch: "You bad wolf, be nice to me! Don't talk to me like that!" Ha ha. I was laughing so hard! I told her to say it over and over.

My playdate friend, Denelle, has a key to the church so we have been there a couple of times to hang out with the kids until the snow blows out. lol It is really fun because we all bring balls and those little kid cars and play with the kids. We get a good work out too by having races pushing our kids. Eliannah was in love with this ball and this was the face that she made if anyone even got close to taking it. She screams at the top of her lungs! It was pretty funny!


Sayde is looking so big now! She is a little girl, no more a todler. She is so much fun, and what a hoot too. She is always making me laugh. She is also smart. She know so much. What a boss too! She is always telling me what to do and most of the times it is things that I have told her before.

Our Valentines Day

Ok so I know that I wrote too much about the book, but I loved it and wanted to share. I also wanted to share what we did for Valentine's Day.

So we went to Chuck E Cheese! lol I have never been there before! I know that it is not the most romantic place in the world, but I loved it! I think that Valentine's Day is about celebrating the love you have for your kids as well as your spouse.

It was really fun, but my favorite part was taking pictues. I am not a pro yet, but I am trying. lol

Then on sunday, Mike and I did a tradition that was passed down from my parents, We made homemade Valentine cards for eachother.

Michael blew me away with his. He worked so hard on it and it is seriously a treasure to me! He wrote the most romantic, elequant poem I have ever read. It is seriously moving!

My husband is by FAR the Best Husband in the World! I love him so much!

Happy Valentines Day

In honor of Valentines Day I would like to relate the best love story of all time!!! It comes from the book The Little Prince, by Antoine De Saint-Exupery. The Little Prince is in love with a flower, symbolic of a woman, and he is talking to a stranded man in the middle of the desert.

You confuse everything...youve got it all mixed up!...I know a planet inhabited by a gentleman who has never smelled a flower. He's never looked at a star. He's never loved anyone. Hes never done anything except add up numbers....

Sipose I happen to know a unique flower, one that exists nowhere in the world but on my planet...If someone loves a flower of which just one example exist among all the millions and millions of stars, that's enouth to make him happy when he looks at the stars. He tells himself, "my flower's up there somewhere..." But if a sheep eats the flower, then for him it's as if, suddenly, all the star went out.

Here the little prince bursts into tears and the man comforts him and it is a tender part of the story, you should read it sometime cause I don't have the time to type it all. So the man learns about the flower the Little Prince is in love with. He tells him of another adventure he had before they met.

Good morning" he said. It was a blossoming rose garden. "Good morning" said the roses. THe little prince gazed at them. All of them looked like his flower...And he felt very unhappy. His flower had told him she was the only one of her kind in the whole universe. And here were five thousand of them, all just alike, in just one garden!

And then he said to himself, I thought I was rich because I had just one flower, and all I own is an ordinary rose...It doesn't make me much of a prince...And he lay down in the grass and wept.

It was then that the fox appeared. "Good morning," said the fox... "Who are you?" the little prince asked. "You're very pretty..."

"Im a fox," said the fox. "Come and play with me," the little prince proposed. "I'm feeling so sad."

"I can't play with you," the fox said. "I'm not tamed."

"...what does tamed mean?"

"Its something that's been too often neglected. It means to create ties'...For me you are only a little boy just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you have no need of me, either. For you I am only a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, we'll need each other. You'll be the only boy in the world for me. I'll be the only fox in the world for you..."

"I'm beginning to understand," the little prince said. "There is a flower...I think she's tamed me..."

"...if you tame me, my life will be filled with sunshine. I'll know that sound of footsteps that will be different from all the rest. Other footsteps send me back underground. Yours will call me out of my burrow like music. And then, look! You see the wheat is of no use whatever. Whear fields say nothing to me. Which is sad. But you have the color of gold in your hair. So it will be wonderful once you have tamed me! The wheat, which is golden will remind me of you. and I'll love the sound of the wind in the wheat...Please, tame me!" Said the fox.

So the little prince tamed the fox and when it came time for him to leave the fox wanted to cry. The prince felt it had been wrong to tame the fox and make him cry, but the fox explains that it was all a good thing. He tells the prince to go back to the garden of roses and he would understand.

The little prince went to look at the roses again. "You're not at all like my rose. You're nothing at all, yet...No one has tamed you and you haven't yet tamed anyone." The roses were humbled. "You're lovely, but you're empty...One couldn't die for you...my rose, all on her own, is more important than all of you together, since she is the one I have watered...Since she is the one I listened to when she complained, or when she boasted, or even sometimes when she said nothing at all. Since she's my rose."

The fox continues teaching the prince before they say goodbye: "One sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes. Its the time you spent on your rose that makes your rose so important. You become responsible forever for what you have tamed. You're responsible for your rose.

During a conversation with the man, the little prince said, "People where you live grow five thousand roses in one garden, yet they don't find what they are looking for."

"And yet what they're looking for could be found in a single rose..." The man replies.

this book is so moving to me. it is my favorite book! Please read it.

My husband calls me his flower, and I call him my prince.

HUSBAND: best word in the english language

My husband has to be the most amazing person that I have ever met! He is so kind and giving! I know that I should be the one who is more gentle, but it isn't, he is. When he deals with our girls he is so much more patient and understanding than I am.

This past week I have really been thinking about how precious life is and how grateful I am to have this man with me. He has always taken good care of me and I have never had a moment where I felt he wouldn't take care of me. He is so strong in more than just his physical strength.


He makes my life Happy, blissful, and COmplete!



Kisses for Tsadakah!




Helping her put on Barbies missmatched shoes. ha ha





I think that this is so sweet! Look at Eliannah's hands, they are both doing the same thing! funny how habits can be hereditary.

Anyway, I just wanted to say how much I love my husband!
