"Easter" Sunday





Sunday was "Easter" Sunday for us since next week is general conference. So I got the kids dressed up in their Easter clothes. They looked so cute!! I of course am their mom, so I thought they were especially cute. Avery is starting to look so grown up, and so is James. I can't believe he will be one in less than a month!

Avery sang in sacrament meeting with the rest of the primary. It was her first time to do anything like that. We talked about it for a little bit while I was fixing her hair that morning and I don't think she quite grasped the whole concept. She kept asking, "but what am I going to sing?" I asked her if they had been practicing a special song and she said she didn't know. Then I asked her if she was going to sing "He Sent His Son" and she said yeah, maybe that was it.

We got to church a few minutes late and as we were walking in Avery said, "Mom, I'm so nervous!" And I asked, "To sing?" and she said yes. I got a little worried because I started to remember that when I was a little girl I used to cry when we had to go up and sing in front of everybody. That didn't seem like the Avery I know, but you never know...But then the next sentence out of her mouth was, "Everybody knows I'm a good singer." Well, I'm glad her confidence, and a healthy one at that, rebounded so quickly.

Avery was adorable up there. She smiled so big in the front row and sang the words. I was getting all emotional and was looking around and saw that all the other parents seemed to be under control. What's my problem?!

I wish I could crop these pictures to get rid of all of the clutter, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet with the program we have.

And I have a question for all you moms that have little boys. When do you start fixing their hair? And do you use gel/product? And/or what type of product?

I think it is fabulous that you get tears in your eyes to watch your child do something so great, don't wonder what is wrong with yourself....just cherish her! I do not "do" my boys hair.....we comb it the direction it wants to go and that's it. My Nick (now 7) likes gel in his hair to stick it up, but that didn't start until he was 5 and most of the time he has a buzz so it doesn't work. play around with gel and see what you like....it may not even work on his baby hair yet!

I just go for the buzz look. I hate doing their hair because I don't know how! So, we buzz it!
