Easter...

...came and went very quickly at our house! Abbi was really sick with a very yucky stomach virus which made for a fairly quiet and low-key Easter.

It was fun to just spend the day with our girls and have time to talk with them about the true meaning of Easter and why we celebrate it.

The Easter Bunny was apparently watching The Ten Commandments while he set up dresses and baskets for the kids...

Easter morning..

Olivia all ready for church in her new dress...

..and modeling her new hat her very talented Auntie Jodi made for her.

LOVE it!

Abbi spent the majority of the day doing this....

poor thing.

She has a new dress and hat as well but was not in the modeling mood.

We'll catch her this Sunday.

Spring Break Trip to Utah...

This year for Spring Break me and the girls, along with my parents, took a little road trip up to St. George and Provo. DuVall had to stay behind for work. While we were there DuVall's grandfather passed away and DuVall ended up joining me and the girls in Salt Lake for his funeral and family time.

Unfortunately I forgot my camera so any pictures I have are from my phone. And I was pretty lame about taking pics.

Blame it on my pregnancy brain.....

Here's the few pics I took from the trip...

My parents and nephew T, enjoying time in St. George

Riding Uncle "Paulie's" horse was a highlight for the girls.

So glad they are not terrified of horses like their mommy!

(Actually I love them, just don't make me ride one. Too many scary riding moments as a kid.)

A visit to Emma's grave in Provo...

always a special thing for us.

DuVall's grandfather passed away at the age of 96. He was by far the sweetest man I have ever met and left a wonderful legacy for his family. He is, obviously, where DuVall gets his name and holds a very special place in our hearts.

We will miss him dearly.

Happy Day of DuVall's Birth...

Today we celebrated DuVall's 33rd birthday, which was not a shocking or "I can't believe how old Im getting" kind of birthday for him because, as some of you may remember, he thought he was turning 33 last year.

Words cannot express how much I love this man.

I am so, so, so very grateful he was born.

Happy 33rd Birthday DuVall!

Happiness...

...and she's already sucking her thumb!

Emma

Five years without you....Five years closer to our reunion.

We love you sweet angel...
