ragnar

This year ragnar was as fun as ever. I again forgot my camera, so I do not have pictures from the race. I did however get a picture of the note the kids had left for me on the kitchen window when I got home. Thanks kids!

family

This is a picture from when we went to lunch for jolona's birthday. (her birthdays is in may, yes I am slow) The only sister missing was Tonia (wished ya lived closer).

For Austin's 3rd birthday he had a John Deere cake. Only fitting since I have never seen a kid so excited by tractors. He also got a lightning mcqueen car (that uses batteries quite fast:)

Lake Powell

We went to lake powell in June & we had a blast. Tonia had her fancy camera so I didn't take a ton of pictures because she did for me. But here are a few.

california with whitney

I went with the orchestra to california with whitney. It was a fun time, we went to universal studios and knotts. Sheela went with sage & we all had a fun time. We were glad to be home however. A few too many teenagers! :)

Easter

What a better thing to do on a hazy Easter morning than to spend time with family. Darren and Liz had the blessing for their new addition, Avery Iona, this morning. It was a very special blessing, and Both Darren and Liz bore such touching testimonies. It made me think on this special Easter how lucky I am to have BOTH of my older brothers, Darren is so cute with his kids, he truely shows them how much he loves them. We share some fun memories from our youth, and he has always been such a good example to me. I love him and I am proud of the man he has become!
I am also VERY grateful for my older brother that came to this earth to die for all of us. Without him none of us would qualify for the thing we strive for most of all, eternal life with our Heavenly Father. We can repent because of his choice to take upon him OUR sins, and we can be with our families forever. I am truely grateful for this on this Easter sunday. I truely have more blessings than I deserve.
if you have not seen the reflections of Christ video watch it on this Easter sunday

Snow family egg-stravaganza

It was once again time for the annual cousin easter party in Roosevelt. It was fun for everyone. There was food, candy, and fun for all. It is fun to live so close to so many cousins, and I'm glad we plan these events to get to spend time together. Teresa, heather, and marianne did a great job in planning. This year they did a scavenger hunt for the older kids (there is getting to be more of those every year) :)
