Easter

HaPpY EaStEr

I hope this Easter everyone had time to reflect on the true meaning for the celebration.

I am feeling the weight of motherhood more and more these holidays. It is Angelo's & my charge to help these little ones understand & grow individual testimonies of Christ and the plan of salvation.

I have been blessed with a mother who knows how to inspire. I have been watching and hopefully learning how to create experiences for my children. We had our traditional passover dinner followed by the explanation of Christs fulfilment of the passover.

Thank You MOM



Here are some pics from our Easter weekend



Easter started out with egg decorating

The kids in Easter finest

baby got back

The stats are in
Chaucer and Emeline had their well child check ups 2month---2 year

Chaucer came in the healthy bordering on chunkarific 80th percentile

Emeline fell behind yet again with a big Zero, yes you read right she is no longer on the chart for weight

Doctor said " they have very different builds don't they"

yes indeed they are definitely cut from two different molds

I am loving the rolls all over my youngest,we haven't seen rolls like these in the Carvajal home since Jaxson !!!

Funky Town

HaPpY St. PaTriCks DAy

Why is it that upon entering a roller rink you are automatically transported to the um.....the 70's

the dj's were grovin', the smoke was heavy, disco ball turning, the lights low
I kept thinking any minute John Travolta might show up in a white leisure suit

so Here we are

Funky town(classic skating)

this kid is so cool

They still do the tug-a-war boyz against girls........wow time warp

Jaxson took a few spills........well he spent at least half the time on the floor

but he took it like a champ

Emeline even got into the action

I need your lovin'

"mom can you play this game with me"

"yep for a little bit"

I sit down and play with him until my attention to another is mandatory

then of course I start cleaning something

"mom can you play this game with me, again"

"you can do it by yourself Liam"

"no I can't..... see"

" yes I see, you need a mom to play with you"

This kid is so cute!!!

Stayin' Alive

"I feel as though I am stuck in between" says I to Brandy

I cannot decorate my new place in Seattle, I really don't want to bother here. I don't want to make new friends, I just want to spend lots of time with my old ones ( no pun intended)

I can see the light at the end and it is close but I am still not there!

"Sarah you are in Purgatory" is Brandy's brilliantly intuitive response

we both get a jolly laugh and I get to thinking

Yep I am in home, financial, & social Purgatory

so what to do in between Heaven and.... well you know

I have taken to decorating each room in my new home... well in my head

I think I may be driving myself crazy
