Wahoooooo!!

I'm happy to announce we are officially Foster Care lisenced for the state of Utah. Our lisence came in the mail today! Now, we can be called anytime, so we'll see what happens. Generally, what *should* happen is before we have a placement, a resource worker should meet with us and get to know us. She will be the one to actually make the match between us and a child. So, while we can now officially and legally get called any day now, it's likely she will want to meet with us first. We'll keep you posted and we will definetly let you know if we have a new little one join the family. Yeah!!

PS- Korbin is sleeping through the night...it only took 3 nights of us giving him less and less formula at the night time feeding. He didn't even cry about it, he just did it! Now we are regretting not having done it sooner!

Pre Easter at the Wilsher's!

This last Sunday we had the opportunity to watch Josh, our second to oldest nephew, receive the Melkezidic (????spelling???) Preisthood, as he prepares for his mission in Fall. It was a nice experience and we are so proud of him and his parents. He is such a great guy and will make an excellent missionary.

After church, we spent the afternoon at my sister's house in Draper. She made us delicious food, which we all enjoyed! My mom, or "Nana", in other words, brought markers, crayons, glitter and glue to decorate hard boiled eggs. The kids all enjoyed it, even some of the grown ups were having quite a good time!

My mom, sisters and I hid plastic eggs full of candy around the house, while the kids played. And of course, the kids had a great big egg hunt around the house! We enjoyed ourselves very much. It is always so nice to be with family and still such a novelty to be with the Wilsher's, considering they have been in England pretty much my whole life.

Here's some pictures!

Lake Side Property

Chris and I always joke that every Spring we have lake side property. North Ogden and Harrisville, especially the area we are in, has a very high water table. So each spring, with the added run off, ponds seem to apear out of no where!

Our duck friends have returned this year. They are nesting and laying eggs in the cattails next to our horse pasture. They swim in the newly added "lake". lol! A friend of Landon's came over and said, "I can't believe you have your very own pond with ducks!"

While Chris was setting up the sump pump, in the crawl space, he opened the vents so that he could let some more light into the crawlspace. When he did that, I small frog jumped in. Chris caught it to show Landon, who had gone out with me for the morning. Landon was excited to see it and touch it. He called him Spot. Later, after a photo shoot , :) Spot was released into the "pond" with the ducks. He is quite happy there.

The Woman's Month :)

I am loving the weather! Today is beautiful and sooo sunny. It's getting me excited to start planting flowers and pulling weeds....yes, I really don't mind pulling weeds....it gives me a sense of accomplishement!

Two Sundays ago, while not as warm, but still nice, we went out on a Sunday drive. We found this beautiful calf that had just been born, with it's momma. The calf could barely stand and was still wet and goopy from being born. We watched the momma cow lick it clean while the calf nursed, trying to keep his wobbly legs straight underneath him. They were so sweet.

Anyway, I just wanted to share, but I'm heading back outside before the weather changes it's mind. My bio dad, who lives in Bulgaria, (Bulgaria has a VERY similar climate to where we live) said that the Bulgarians call March "The Woman's Month" because the weather is so ever changing and can't make up it's mind! lol!

Almost St. Patrick's Day

Landon is usually a fabulous sleeper, but last night he kept waking up with bad dreams. So, Chris told him to get his blanket and pillow and sleep on the couch, so he could be near our room.
This morning when he woke up, he came and told me, VERY SERIOUSLY, that he had seen a leprechon (bad spelling) running back and forth between our two couches all night. I asked him if he was scared and he said no. He said he tried to lay very still so that the leprachon could hide his pot of gold in OUR house. lol! So, today Landon has been in full searching mode, to find the pot of gold. He is begining to get concerned that the leprachon may have taken it with him, to put at the end of a rainbow!
...oh....I LOVE kids....especially mine!
