Here's mine: Life Everlasting, by Duane Crowther

"This distinction is made between the doctrine of the actual resurrection and translation: translation obtains deliverance from the tortures and sufferings of the body, but their existence will prolong as to the labors and toils of the ministry, before they can enter into so great a rest and glory... (partial quote by Joseph Smith)

I don't know a lot of people who blog, so I'll tag Cathy, Lisa, Dixie and Michelle Edvik (that's 4).

Pretty Paige

On Sunday the kids were sitting together playing the piano. I noticed Preston was looking intensely at Paige's hair. He reached up and touched her hair softly and then looked back at the piano. Doug and I looked at each other wondering what he was doing. Normally he likes to pull Paige's hair. He turned back to her and said, "Your hair pretty, Paige."

A little late, but still fun

Paige got these Easter Bunny ears when she got her picture taken with the Easter Bunny at the mall. She wore them off and on for about a month. She gets very attached to things.

Super Easter gifts!! We sorta let the kids pick their own gifts this year, but told them we'd let the Easter Bunny know of their choice. All I can say is the Easter Bunny and Santa are incredibly smart. How do they know?

This is a great picture to let you know Preston's character. He is such a tease. Let's do a little dialogue to see what's in the mind of this little boy, "I know I'm not supposed to touch this pretty flower, but I'll just get as close as I possibly can before mommy threatens to pinch my leg and when she says one ... two ... thrrrrrrrrrrrr ... then I'll suddenly move my hand and laugh and everything will be fine and no harm done." Yeah, Preston, don't think I don't know your little trick!!!
And let's not forget an illustration of Paige's personality. She is soft and sweet and pays attention to details. By the way, these flowers are compliments of Doug. He got them for me for our anniversary. Kudos to you, Doug.

I couldn't resist adding this one - it's so cute. Paige and Preston love when their cousin, Benjamin, comes over to play. We took them all to the mall to ride on the carousel. That is always the highlight of a visit to the mall. It's fun for mom and dad too because it's great to see them get so excited and be so happy. Paige always rides the blue dragon. Unfortunately, Preston has begun choosing the cat each time. Can you say meoooooow? Believe me, Preston can. And cats lick you to give you a kiss.

A Beautiful Model

Paige loves to set up a shot and have me take her picture. These are some of her favorite toys. I think she is the best part of the picture. I'll let you be the judge.

Can you guess who this is? Yes, it's Paige, but who is she pretending to be?

The only way I could get this picture was with Paige asleep. Go ahead, take a guess.....

If you guessed Curious George, you'd be right. Paige puts these boxing gloves on for monkey feet and walks around the house "talking" like Curious George does. It's basically squeeky monkey noises. We love you, Curious.

Dad is so proud of ME!!

Isn't our little boy cute? Doug was NOT PLEASED with mommy letting Presty put on Paige's boots. He yanked them off at the first chance and then let us enjoy the screaming as Preston let us know of his displeasure at not having the boots on anymore. Thanks, Doug. But seriously, isn't he cute?!! He's so proud and happy as a clam to be wearing pink boots.

Uh ... is this right? Very well, I accept ...
