I like 'em big, I like 'em chunky...

Girl, you're huge, just the way I like 'em! (from Madagascar 2)

Mama is LOVIN' the baby rolls!

Happy Easter 2010

Watch out! I played catch up on blogging! (Anna loves 3 posts in one day :)

For Easter we got a special treat today because we got to listen to the prophet this weekend for General Conference (and Aaron is double excited because it is opening day for baseball). The talks were all amazing. I love to be reminded why I love the gospel of Jesus Christ so much and to feel so edified, fulfilled and happy. We celebrated by enjoying all 4 sessions at home and today we had family over for a ham sandwich lunch. The kids enjoyed an indoor spring egg hunt (because it snowed today!) after the last session of conference and then we talked about the true meaning of Easter as we gorged on candy. What a great day. Happy Easter!

Our little bunny For all you Johnson's: The silver egg was hidden in a CLEAN diaper all rolled up on the couch. Alana finally found it after a few hot and cold hints. It contained a dollar and some snickers! Score!!!

I love how this shot shows her double chin and her 'baby's first Easter' bib. (just don't look at the lady blinking next to her)

Halle's 3 months

Halle was 3 months old on her Auntie Em's Birthday this week! She has gotten so big already. She is a sweet, chubby, happy baby girl. She will talk, coo and laugh out loud. When I sing to her, she sings with me (I'm serious! She coos EVERY time I sing). She is so loved by all of her siblings, especially Ammon and she loves to be where everyone is. She gets very bored if she doesn't hear someone. We love this little munchkin so much! Can't imagine life without her. (sporting some Auntie Kim wear for her 3 month shot)

March-isms

Just some March-isms since I've gotten behind lately. We had mom, dad and auntie Rachael Cothran at our house for the first part of March. Then I caught some cute shots of the 2 littlest Cothrans (the first of them together) "Save me!"

oh thank you ammon.
Are you my brother?

My Nana that spoiled me by holding and loving me :)

Love you pop pop. He was such a trooper. I would just hand him Halle every once in awhile. He seemed not to mind. Love you man!

OK Auntie Kim, you are so sweet for giving me the cutest jammies! Love 'em!
(notice it says, "my Auntie loves me")

Halle and Auntie Rachael sure had a sweet, amazing bond. Rachael has an amazing way with kids. We think she is our Super auntie. But Halle just loved her and would coo and smile at her all the time! By the way, don't you just LOVE this shot!
So, Rachael found this awesome toy for Halle. It is like a glow-worm. It is a sea horse with a tummy that lights up and plays classical music. I LOVE it! I went and bought one for Mac since he isn't the easiest to put to bed. He now stays in bed sooo much better. It is like a flashlight, stuffed animal and CD player in one. (fisher price, ocean wonders, soothe and glow sea horse)

Oh my Nana LOVES me!

10 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!

How does it happen? 10 years flies by faster than my 7th grade year in junior high. Life just seems to go at a quicker pace when there is school, jobs and children involved and the focus of life shifts away from yourself.

I think we have accomplished a lot in 10 years. Sure, marriage has been hard but I think that is what also makes it so awesome. We have had to push through a lot of rough times and laugh through others. We have gone on thousands of walks, hundreds of dates, snogged a million times, danced like ninnies too often, and have even had about 10 food fights.

Aaron makes me feel complete. I don't even remember life without him. It is all been blurred into this wonderful thing I like to call my life. He makes me so mad, he makes me smile, he shocks me with what he says, he helps me set goals, he makes me feel loved, he makes me laugh until I sound like Becca when she laughs and hisses, he helps me be lazy when I need it, I could go on and on but will spare you. He is my everything. Happy 10 years baby! I could not ask for more!~

Happy St. Patricks Day!

Happy green day!

2 special girls, 2 special days!

Heavenly bliss & Beautiful girls!
