Easter in Logan



Easter is one of my favorite times. We have been able to spend it at Grandma and Grandpa Bray's for the last few years. This year we did the Easter-egg hunt at Uncle Billy's mom's house. Grandma made a fun Hive and bumble bee cake for dessert, that I got to help decorate. The kids had fun on the "jeeps" and feeding the horses. Nid is taking over where his dad left off, playing checkers with Grandpa.

The Big Day!!

Life has gone by so fast this last month. Rock has done so much and accomplished so much. It has been a long road however one that has lead to a graduation from BYU!! I am so proud of all that he is and who he is becoming and what he has done. The road has not been easy he has had to balance so much. Work, school, family and church. Raising and providing for three children, loving them, spending time with them, teaching them!! He has had a hard road to graduation and a long road still ahead. But we are going to enjoy the next few months until. . .Law school, which will be the next step for our little family. It will be fun to see what the next three years bring us.

Some Fun Picks of the Weekend, Graduation, Bowling, and Swimming

You tell Me?

I had been working out in the kitchen and there was a silence. . .when that happens Mothers ears become even more keen and sensitive to all noises. I went back into the kids room and found this. Nid was up on his bunk watching a movie and Little Miss Muffet was watching as well. . .or so I thought!!!

This is what I saw when I walked into the room (besides the toy bomb that had exploded on their floor)

As I circled around I realized. . .

My Little Muffin was ASLEEP!!
I thought I could sleep anywhere. From the looks of it she was just too tired to get all the way up into her bed. She was overcome mid-crawl. Looking around the room it looks like they had been having a pretty fun time. However, this even looks too uncomfortable for my taste.

A Wonderful Surprise!!

We had been without a microwave for about 2 months. It is amazing how much longer it takes to do everything!! A couple of our friends came over the other night and brought some microwave popcorn!!
It was so nice of them and we were so excited to have it. . . I felt bad saying that our microwave was broken, but maybe we could try to pop it someway else. They laughed!!

A few minutes later I noticed that one of our friends had left and I asked if he was okay and his wife replied he was fine he just had to run out for a minute. A few minutes later he came back with a microwave that worked!! What an amazing gift and gesture. We are truly blessed to have such wonderful friends!!

Thank You!! Gracias!! Merci!! Thank You!! Thank You!! Thank You!!
Needless to say we have had plenty of popcorn and a lot of other yummy things lately because of it!! We love our Microwave and hope to have it for many years to come!!

NeverEver Time




It is time I talked about my littlest munchkin. . .He truly is a VERY HAPPY boy and is growing-up faster then the other two I think. Time is speeding up!!
NeverEver Stats:
  • Age 8 months

  • Height 26 1/2 inch.

  • Weight 21 lbs

Toothless, crawling, standing and even walking while he pushes the kids step stool around!! He is always on the go, BUT never to busy to give a little snuggle to MOM!! Lucky Me!

Like I said before he is the happiest baby and always smiling. . .Of course unless he is scowling the "Steele Scowl" (which ALL my kids are famous for). The smile he gives away always makes me feel better. Always trying to please.

Never's Favorites (from what I can tell)

  • Food: Paper. . .if you can count that


  • 2nd Food: Oatmeal

First Meal



    He didn't like the Green Beans!!
  • Activity: Crawling around and eating every single little thing he can shovel in his mouth SCARY!! I know, I found carpet in there the other day as I heard him gaging!! Motivation to keep my floors clean.





  • Playing: Likes to chase balls, balloons, toys around the room as he pushes them and Of Course all the while (when he catches up to it) trying to shovel it into his mouth
  • Toy: Right now it is a "Don't Worry Be Happy" Yellow smiley face Balloon Nid got for his Birthday
  • Defence: Pinching, he doesn't do it maliciously yet but MAN!! it hurts.
  • Person: MOM!! of course only when he wants something. I love it when he follows me around and when he finally catches up I can feel his little hands trying to climb up my legs!!
  • Brother: Nid, although he has a hard time when Nid holds him he loves it when he plays with him
  • Sister: Muffet, he laughs the hardest when he is playing with Muffet, she loves him so much and she cracks him up

  • Dad: Daddy, is everyone's favorite
  • Song: "I love you and You Love me. . ."
  • Book: Just likes to eat them
  • Game: This is the way the Cowboy Rides, Patty-Cake,and Here comes the Bubble Bee
  • Movie: Watching his brother and sister

We love our little NeverEver and our grateful he is a part of our family, He helps me want to be a happier, better person because he is so good and (I can't think of a word that means happier then happy) JOYOUS!! (maybe).
