Olympic Lovers

Yes I have a confession. Every time the Olympic games are on I have to turn on the TV and watch them. I just love watching the ice skating in the Winter Olympics and the swimming and relay runs are just a must to watch in the summer Olympics. Oh its just all so exciting. When I heard that the Olympics were coming to London in 2012 I was so excited. I have always wanted to go to the opening or closing ceremonies, but hey, now my life plans have changed; I won't even be in beautiful Britain when it all happens. But, no matter how much I would have wanted to be there, if I was given the choice Matthias or London 2012, there is no contest, London 2012...no I'm just kidding, Matthias wins hands down!! :) Anyways, back to the Olympics this year.....I am very patriotic when it comes to the relay runs, especially when we are against the the USA!! It always makes great television. I'm sure there will be some friendly rivalry between Matthias and I when our two countries compete, but as they say, may the best country win! :)

We really loved having a week off for Easter Break!  It was very much needed, for all of us.  I love having Noah at home.  He's such a great help and now that he's older, he's a real good buddy for me.  We have really great, grown up conversations, I love it.  We just really enjoyed family time, seeing old friends and eating lots of chocolate.  Isn't that what school breaks are all for?!  Here are a few photos of our fun.

It kind of snowed.....twice

Image
So my lovely little (or not so little) cutie pies were really excited to move here for one main reason...SNOW!  They had never seen or can remember seeing snow.  So after hearing that last years snow fall was a crazy amount and the schools were closed, they were super excited for this winter. (A lot more so than mummy, let me tell you!)  If there is one thing I have learned from moving here, although I do like it here, I DO NOT like cold weather!  I just cannot stay warm....but hey that's another story.  A few weeks back we did indeed get snow. This was the second time this year.  It was a very little but it pleased my children all the same!  They had fun in the snow till their fingers froze.  There was enough snow to make a snowman this time so they were happy. View from our front door Noah trying to make a snow angel.  The snow had unfortunately frozen, because of freezing rain, but it did make a little indent. Noah p...

Noah's Baptism

Image
It really is great to be 8!  Our handsome Noah has been looking forward to this day for over a year now.  In our church you are able to get baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints at the age of 8. We believe that Baptism is an important first step to returning back to our Heavenly Father and to be able to eventually live together forever.  (For my non LDS friends you can read more about baptism and our religion here .)  We have been planning for a few weeks some of the things he wanted and he was super excited because both his grandparents were able to visit for his special day. He was baptized on his birthday by his daddy and the given the gift of the Holy Ghost by daddy too.  We had a small gathering, but enjoyed a yummy ice cream bar afterwards, Noah's request! :) We are so proud of him.  Noah is growing up to be a fine young man, he's caring, loving, intelligent, humble, crazy (the good kind :), there is never a dull mom...
