GRE(Graduate Record Examination) = THE DEATH OF US!

Corey will be taking the GRE tomorrow at noon! He has spent the past three months studying vocabulary, reading comprehension, math, and writing in order to get a decent score on the GRE. Now that we are down to 24 hours before the test, I feel like Corey is going to buckle under all the pressure. Our apartment is overflowing with GRE books, cd's, and vocabulary words. And, I know Corey's brain is about ready to burst. I KNOW he will do great and IF he doesn't he can always re-take it. So, really there is nothing to stress about, except that his chances of getting into the schools he wants require high scores on this specific test. :) We are just crossing our fingers and hoping that all this studying will pay off.




This made me laugh, because it's so true. It seems like all the practice questions are impossible.

EASTER! Before I get to all the fun things about Easter, I just wanted to say how grateful I am for my Savior. I truly love this time of year to reflect on what He has done for us. I was blessed to have my family come from Idaho this year. I feel like their is such strength that can come from families! I feel blessed to have the gospel of Jesus Christ in my life and to know that He still lives and loves us VERY much.





This is one of my favorite pictures of Christ.


Adelynn looking for Easter eggs.


Addie and Makayla (her cousin)


The Easter bunny brought Adelynn her backpack that she has been waiting a LONG time for. The funny thing is that it's also got a leash attached so that we don't lose her anymore. (She's not smiling because she is still half asleep).


This is my 90 year old great-grandpa holding his great, great grandchild: Cameron. We were scared that he was going to drop him because he was shaking so badly. It was more scary than anything.


She's a happy girl with her bunny.
APRIL FOOL’S DAY
We woke up to a BUNCH of snow of April 1st! Adelynn still hadn't gotten the chance to make a snowman, or use her new snowpants. So, we took advantage of the snow in April! We tried to get Dad to come outside and play in the snow, but he needed sleep because he had worked all night. So, instead he got snowballs thrown at the bedroom window. I thought it was funny until he started yelling at me. :)

Addie with her snowman.



"Once there was a snowman, snowman, snowman...(We sang the song a few times that day)


All day Addie kept picking up snow and telling me to eat it. But, she would never try it herself. I kept telling her it tasted like yummy ice, but she wouldn't even try it (No dinosaur pee for her)!



About four hours later we walked outside and he had tipped over! It was still snowing, but I guess we didn't build him very sturdy.
A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS!



My newest nephew: Cameron Green


Addie and Cameron = Cousins Forever


Adelynn came down with croup badly one night. She woke up at 3 in the morning coughing and Corey insisted that we make her a tent with the humidifier. What a good Daddy!



Memories! For as long as I can remember my Grandparents have owned a tandem bike. All of us grandkids have fond memories on this bike. This is a picture of my cousins Heather and Kim riding (hoping the chain doesn't pop off at any minute)!


My adorable, hard-working husband. He is showing off the lei he got from one of his patient’s families.
