Easter 2014



This was our first Easter as a family of four!  Emma is almost 6 weeks old now!
Leah had a ton of fun hunting eggs and even cooperated enough to wear a hat in the sun.  She was melting our hearts picking up eggs and playing!  We are very blessed.
John attended the sunrise service, we had brunch at Park Methodist Church and Leah hunted eggs.  Jenny and Corey came and helped Leah!  Then, we drove to Dana and Chuck's house and had dinner and the kids hunted eggs.  We had a wonderful time with friends and family!

Also, my second annual climbing competition at the Johnson center was thursday night, and was a huge success. 76 competitors was 8 more than last year, and the prizes and donations were more varied and exciting.

It looks something like this , although this clearly does the real thing no justice, as I bought the most beautiful diamond in town. Finally here's a hysterical website I happened across this week. For those who know Everybody Loves Raymond , he has a new pet name for ...

John made a fire in the fire place and I cooked dinner. Valentines Day fell on a Thursday which meant John had just finished some prints in his photo-lab. (John has a new hobby-photography. He is taking a photography class where you take and develop pictures and learn about perspective and art etc. ) After dinner, John handed me a stack of photos to sort through so he could show me what he has learned. I looked through a few and everything looked great until I saw a picture of John playing Scrabble. I laughed because it obviously didn't fit in with the rest, but I finally understood when I saw the next picture. It was a picture of his Scrabble board with the words "Jamie will you marry me". By the time I gasped and looked up, John was on one knee. He said the sweetest proposal and asked me again, "wil...
