i love my kids

Both of the kids are napping right now so I thought I'd update the blog while I had the chance! The kids are growing up so fast. Will loves to show how strong he is by picking up Rosie. They are great friends. Yesterday, Rosie was eating some skittles and Will said he wanted one so I asked Rosie if she could share one with Will. She said, "No because these are too yucky for him."
(Sorry, the pic is a little fuzzy)

I went to the gym during Clark's lunch break and I came home to this. It was so cute, I had to snap a picture!
For Easter, we got out the hard-boiled eggs and dye. The kids loved it. First, Will dipped it in the green, then he wanted to dip it into the red, then the blue, yellow, and orange. Most of our eggs ended up being a greenish-brownish color but they were so proud.

A few weekends ago, we got to spend the weekend with my little sister, Amy (14) and brother Josh (10). We went to the pinewood derby where Josh's car won 1st 3 times and 2nd one time. Amy and I went to the YW broadcast and afterward, I felt so blessed and excited to be a woman. Here is Amy with the kids after Rosie put stickers all over her face.

I want to write down a few more stories before I sign out. . .

• Will made a list of things to do and I asked what was on the list. He said, "Go to Wal-Mart, ride a train, and work hard." I thought, "Wow, he's such a great mix of me and Clark.

• Will thinks deeply about things. After watching "The Princess and the Frog" he asked, "Am I going to become a star when I die?" (For those of you who haven't seen it, the firefly, Ray, dies and becomes a star at the end). After I said no, he asked, "Is Ray going to be a star forever?" I didn't quite know how to answer that one. Does anyone know about a firefly's afterlife? :)

• Rosie loves to pray. She likes to say the same prayer whether it's for dinner or for bedtime. She says, "Heavenly Father, we thank thee that we can bless the food. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen." Lately, if someone is blessing the food and she thinks it is going too long, she will interrupt it by saying, "In the name" . . .

• Rosie loves playing with her 3 bears: carebear, blue bear, and brown bear. I overheard her say, "Don't worry, I will protext you."
