We have this great neighbor/friend here in San Antonio (Natalie Layton) who is an amazing photographer. She took this picture of Eliza at a work party this weekend. I love the expression she was able to capture. She's plotting something in that little head of hers.

Happy Easter!

Easter is one my favorite days of the year. It is also a day I get especially homesick for my family of origin, sunny St. George, and Wendy's egg hunt! However, we still had a wonderful day here in San Antonio! I received this quote in church today that I really liked:
"When all is said and done, when all of history is examined, when the deepest depths of the human mind have been explored, nothing is so wonderful, so majestic, so tremendous as this act of grace when the Son of the Almighty, the Prince of His Father's royal household, He who had once spoken as Jehovah, He who had condescended to come to earth as a babe born in Bethlehem, gave His life in ignominy and pain so that all of the sons and daughters of God of all generations of time, every one of whom must die, might walk again and live eternally. He did for us what none of us could do for ourselves."
- Gordon B. Hinckley

ALOHA! and thank you Aunt Krissy!

Bowl Cut




Preston really need a haircut, so Tad (stuck in the 90s) thought it would be funny to give him a bowl cut. My little brothers always had the bowl cuts. I think Preston looks just like Derek did at that age. Don't worry...I plan on buzzing it off.
