After the great snowfall of March we rolled right into April. Easter came and went and we had just as much fun this year as we have every year. We colored eggs, put up our few decorations and attended General Conference. I don't have any pictures to record Felicity's 3rd birthday, at the end of March. We did video rather than stills. Maybe one day I'll get savvy and figure out how to put video on here. Anyways, here is easter in a nut shell.

So it's been a while since I've posted about our little family. I have finally gotten better at taking pictures doing the day to day things. So today's post is the beginning of getting caught up. We got a good dump in the end of March and it was the only good dump of snow that allowed snowman building so build we did. I don't have a snowsuit that is boy colored so Gage had to bear it and wear pink. I think it matches his cheeks quite well. He truly is a boy and loves being out doors. I have had my life threatened for wearing this "hideously awful coat" but it works and it's what I've got. The finished product!!

So a good friend of mine needed her kids pants patched. I had seen on Pinterest monster knee patches. I asked her if she would be open to this idea. She was and this is what I created!! It was so much fun. Two pairs of boys pants on the right and a one pair of girls. Monster Knees!!

Sometimes I wonder why? Not the deep why am I here kind of questions but more of the surface questions. Why don't I have any energy? Why do my kids fight all the time? Why do I make excuses? So what is my purpose? I don't really know. I love my family. I love the joy of my children but there are days(today is definately one of them, hence this post), that nothing gets accomplished and nothing happens that I need or want it to happen. Is it the cycle of the moon, that I like to believe?! or is there a greater force that I'm missing. What a blah day.

Felicity just turned 3 and she is very aware of who she is and what is going on around her. Just a couple of days ago she heard me talking about getting my visiting teaching appointments organized for the month of April. Then later that same morning, she was dressed up in dress up clothes, pushing a stroller with a baby. Gage was crawling around trying to keep up to her and she most assuredly said to Gage, "Sister Broadbent, get out of my way, we have to go Visiting Teaching." "Come on!" Gage was to come and go visiting teaching with her but he/she needed to get out of the way. To funny!!

So I follow a blog called The Dating Divas , they are fabulous for great dating tips and ideas. They are constantly coming up with great stuff. There are 11 ladies that all contribute so you get some great variety. That being said they decided that no only do they want to help smarriages but they want to help them greatly. So this week they are having a Tele-Retreat . Meaning that every day at 10am and 6pm MST they are having phone conference calls that you can call into and listen to some amazing speakers. Yesterday I had the priviledge of listening to recording artist Hillary Weeks . She spoke about the power of positive thinking. WOW!!!! is all I can say. That brings me to the content of this post. Hilary spoke about an experiment that she did in her own home. She bought one of those number counting clickers that you hold in the palm of your hand. I've seen them at Costco, they guy working the entrance door counts the number of bodies going in. Anyways, Hillary was trying to fig

So I don't post very often because I have this really weird thought in regards to posts. THEY MUST INCLUDE A PHOTO! So not true. I have finally come to realize this so hopefully this will cure my lack of posts and my posts will now flourish and multiply like little bunnies.
