Friday, March 28 is Aaron's 4th birthday. We will be going to the Chuck E Cheese by the Katy Mills Mall that afternoon at 1:30pm. Anyone who wants to come and have their kids play at that time is welcome. We'd love to see you and play with you! If you have questions...just ask!

With the death of Jen's father this week and his funeral on Good Friday, Easter took on a deeper meaning this year.

Needless to comment, it has been an emotional, sad, and difficult week for our family. But this Easter has been special as the promises of the Atonement and Resurrection have taken a deeper meaning in our life. Jen's sister Marcia and her Husband John blessed their week old baby Brycen in Church on Sunday.

This holiday wasn't JUST about death and sadness, but also about birth, life, and hope.

While less important, we had an Easter Egg Hunt today in the backyard. Aaron was an old-pro at looking for Easter eggs. But Brian, although a rookie, figured out the object right away.

at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints,
Cypress Stake Center on North Eldridge.
12310 New Hampton Dr

Here's the link to the obituary in the Chronicle.

We do appreciate the love and support that we receive from family and friends.

For those who don't already know, Richard Fuller (Jen's dad) passed away Tuesday night after a year long battle with cancer. Details regarding his funeral service will be posted later. We appreciate all the love and support we've received this past year and the help we know we will continue to receive in the upcoming months.

I've wanted, and tried, to do a blog entry several times this week...but life happens and so here it is Sunday before I make another attempt.

First the good news, my sister, Marcia, gave birth to a baby boy on Friday. They are going to call him Bryce and the pictures I've seen so far are SO ADORABLE! I can't wait to see him in person!

Next the bad news, my dad is back in the hospital and not doing so great. I don't want to go into details, I'm just too tired, but please everyone pray for him and my mom.

Lastly, at 9:50 tonight I went upstairs because I thought I heard Aaron moving around (keep in mind he is still 3 years old!). As I approached his room I found that his light was on and I got ready to send him to bed with gusto. However, I found him on his bed, reading The New Testament! He was reading in 1 Corinthians chapter 9. When I got there he was in verse 12 and when he finished his verse I started to read verse 13 to him. That made him cry though because "He wanted to do it all by himself" I laid there next to him and listened to him read all 27 verses, at which time I told him it was almost 10pm and that he should go to bed. We said our prayers and I turned off his light.

When asked why he likes reading the scriptures, his reply was "Because it talks about Jesus." When asked why ELSE he likes reading the scriptures, his reply was "Because is has so many books and so many chapters." When asked how he feels when he reads the scriptures, he replied "I feel GREAT-FULL"

He amazes me constantly and I am SO grateful to Heavenly Father for this amazing boy which I have the opportunity to help raise. I learn so much from him and I feel extremely blessed to have him as my son! I guess I'd better follow his example and go read my scriptures before I head to bed.

Daniel: When do I learn how to punch?
Miyagi: Better learn balance. Balance is key. Balance good, karate good. Everything good. Balance bad, better pack up, go home. Understand?

We were walking around the block this afternoon, when I told Aaron to try going really fast and then picking up both feet. Up they went, and off he went. He coasted 15 - 20 feet on his first try.
