Our New House

I have gotten a few rooms done. Abigail's is the first room. We are going to put up the bunk bed but that might be closer to when we have someone coming to stay. She loves having her own room.

Kaylee is on her bed. That is her favorite thing. Sometimes I have to look twice because I mistaken her for Abby. It is so life like.

This is the kid's bathroom. I love frogs and collect them. It is a fun bathroom and the kids love it.

Jason and I got the garage cleaned and it is nice to have both cars in it. My van is sooooo dirty. I did wash it recently so it keeps the garage clean. I love having a 2 car garage.

I have not gotten to all the rooms. We have been busy with church things and with the yard. Oh it has work to be done on it. The people that lived here before did not take care of it. The front is good, but the back has weeds and needs some extra attention. If only it would stop snowing.

Our Luau

These are our decorations. It is not the greatest picture but it looked great.

This is our sluch table. Everyone got a slush when they first got there. People loved this part of it.

Abby in her cute costume.

Miss Tina and the Kiki's. That means children. This is all the girls that did the dance.

Jason and I in the Stand in. Everyone thought this was fun. I took everyone's picture and printed them while we were there so they could take it home. I loved this. Everyone had a fun evening. Sisters and their spouses where invited. It was like date night for everyone. We had fun.

Carson and Abby in the stand in. Don't they look cute.

We had planned a Luau for our Relief Society birthday dinner and it was so fun. Abigail was able to take a few lessons and learn a hula dance. I will post it as soon as I get a copy from my friend. I did not have any room on my camera so she said she would get me a copy. It was a wonderful night. My enrichment leader did a great job and it was nice not to have to plan it and carry it out all by myself like last year. There is a reason I have a enrichment leader and an enrichment board. I have learned so much the last year and a half as the second counselor in the Relief Society. It is fun and at times challenging. Some things I do not like to deal with. Welfare meeting is one of them. I like planning enrichments. Oh well I have learned lots.

Logan Nodding Yes for Food!!!!

Yesterday at my brother's wrestling tournament my sister and I recorded Logan nodding yes. I got him to do it for the first time on Wednesday but could not record it on the camera. I love to watch him do it. He gets more and more funny. Just had to share this with everyone.

Abigail's Easter Present

Abby now has a bike that she can ride. Her last one died. She loves the princess's on them. She also can keep up with her bigger brother.

Carson and his Easter present

Carson got a basketball hoop from the Easter Bunny. He wanted me to film him doing his spin. He loves his present. Easter Bunny did good this year.

Easter Outfits

The Boys: Carson-7 years, Logan-10 months oldLogan Clarke Beard
My Beautiful Kids

Carson James Beard
Abigail Mae Beard

5 years old

Logan is 10 months old today

I love his smiles. Man how the time has flown by. He is walking and very confident now. He is sleeping through the night and loves his brother and sister. He loves to go in Abby's room and play with her. She is a good sister, because she is okay with him in her room. Logan is starting to enjoy Griz. He actually acknowledges that he exsists. He loves his pacifier and Mom is not sure what she will do when he turns a year old. He makes growling noises and it is hillarious. He smiles at everyone. We are so happy he is a part of our family. Mom loves that Logan wants to be rocked to sleep. He is a great baby.

First Day of Spring Break

Abby flying her new kite from Grammy. It is her Easter present.

Carson flying his kite.

We had the perfect weather.

Carson and the Web Camera

We got a new laptop in February and before we moved Carson made a video and we did not know it. I was doing some stuff and found it. I watched it and it is soooooo funny. On our laptop is a web camera and he turned it on and made a video. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
