Easter Sunday

He is Risen! 

 

Happy Easter to all of our readers! We are so grateful today for all of you and for the love you show us as you follow our story and watch our little family grow.

We are so grateful today for our Savior and for his sacrifice for all of us.

This morning Kevin woke up to find that EB (Easter Bunny) had visited our home. (He didn't make it last year because I was so sick the week prior to Easter and I think EB just didn't want to catch the nasty sickness I had the first few weeks of our marriage). 

Kevin had a little Easter Egg hunt this morning around the living room. He is a really good egg finder. I even had three eggs hidden in "really" hard places and he found them all so quickly. 

EB delivered three eater baskets to our home this year. One for Kevin and I and a tiny one for baby. I guess EB didn't realize baby wasn't here yet so he left a little note ;)

Church was lovely today. We taught our primary class the First Easter story and I was surprised how much these six year old children knew about the Resurrection. It is so neat to see them understand and teach back the story.

We had decided that this year we would have a quiet Easter dinner with just the two of us. 

I made potatoes, ham, rolls and veggies and it was very yummy.  We ate dinner and watched the Masters. 

Kevin's ideal EASTER of course would include an incredible dinner and his favorite sport.

Easter twenty-twelve was a lovely day. Crazy to think that next year our little boy will be here. I already have our Easter outfits planned! (I'm imagining two matching ties to one matching dress... all homemade) 

I'm off to Sacramento on Thursday with my sister Aubrey and I could not be more excited. Kevin is not as big of a fan of me leaving but he has to stay and work so he will miss out on this trip. 

Happy EASTER readers. 

Love a pregnant feeling Kyla, Hubby and a 26 week+1 day old baby. 

Thursday Blues.

Today was a poopy day! 

Lots of anxiety at work, and possible decisions to be made in the Ford Family over the next while and lots of excitement for baby boy that will be here in just THREE short months (I can't believe how its sneaking up on me so quickly).

Lucky for me I have an amazing husband, family and friends to keep me smiling through the rough days.

I received the cutest invite in the mail yesterday to help put a smile on my face. Of course I'm a little bias as it's an invite to celebrate me and baby boy back in Sacramento NEXT WEEK and I am so excited to be going home for a visit (it's been six months... well overdue for some Sacramento time with some of my favorite people).

 

 We also got to go to the Real Salt Lake soccer game last night. 

I had flashbacks of how much I love playing soccer and how much I miss these days with all these amazing girls. We had some amazing times playing the game we all love so much and I cherish those years!

The "Easter Bunny" sent a lovely package to our house that came in the mail today! I just love those Easter Bunnies back in Sacramento.They always spoil us!

And, I get to come home to MY incredible guy every night. He makes me smile and is my partner in crime as we face this world together and all that it holds for us... Good and Bad. 

PS. The other night we were lying in bed and he leaned over, kissed me and said, "Can I keep you forever?"

Lucky for him, we did this a year ago....

 And he gets to keep for forever and more! 

Happy Thursday Readers. Just one more day until the weekend. We can make it!
