We are busy preparing for Christian to receive the Priesthood and Madison to get baptized. We are excited and have really felt the changes in our home as we are preparing for these wonderful events. We feel so blessed to have conference and Easter to help us. We are so grateful for the gospel and the wonderful blessings that we receive by being members of this church.

Madison and Trevor

Madison has always been a super sweet addition to our family. She brings us so much joy!

We had so much fun spending the afternoon with family. It was so fun to see all the love and support for our little Madison. She and I spent Friday night taking off all her nail polish and getting her ready for this big day. She was so full of excitement I could not help but feel all of her same enthusiasm.

Madison's big day!

It is so fun to see the special relationship Madison has with my mom. She is so close to her and it really made Madison feel good to have grandma here.

My dad has always been the most amazing dad ever! I love that my kids get to know him and spend time with him.

This little princess is all girl. She loves all her Belnap relatives. We were so glad Grandma and Grandpa made it to her baptism.

This year has been a gift for me! I am so grateful for the gospel and the life's lessons that I have learned. These are all the family members that were able to attend the baptism.

I love this crew more than ... to the moon and back a million times a million.

My Proof

My Proof
The other night we were playing with the blocks that Grandpa made about 7 years ago. The kids were all doing towers (and of course "accidently" knocking them over) Next thing I know I look over and Christian has written MOM AND DAD ROCK out of the blocks. Since he will be an official teenager next year, I took a picture to have proof that he once thought we ROCKED, because of course we do!!

I can't believe how quickly our baby is growing. She is still the smallest of our babies (but I figure it's because I need my baby to at least look like a baby for a long time). She rolls, giggles, plays, grabs, smiles, coos and pretty much keeps everyone in the house happy. Madison is her biggest fan and I love the relationship that is already developing between those two.

Ethan

Ethan
Our little guy! He makes us smile and laugh all day. He has the cutest little personality ever. Maybe it comes from older sibblings. . . I am not sure. But, I sure do love hanging with my little man all day!

Our baby Bree ! ! She is the happiest little thing ever. Our kids are always playing with her. She is the first that really enjoys a little alone time once in a while. . . I wonder why????

Christian and Carson remain best buds. . . They also love to include Ethan in all they do lately. . .even if he isn't thrilled with the game. This game Christian and Carson put together to give Ethan a ride in the box. If you look closely Ethan has a steering wheel and passanger in the box. . .err spaceship with him.

It was so fun to see Trevor and this little sweetheart take pictures. I loved the look on both of their faces in this one.

I love this picture of Breylyn looking at Madison. She is so lucky to have such a good big sister. Madison adores Breylyn and Breylyn adores Madi.

Swinging with Grandpa

A beautiful day, 4 great Belnap boys. (We know where they get their teasing attitude from.) Thanks Grandpa B.

My Boys

My Boys
I can not even look at this picture without tears coming to my eyes. I am so glad Trevor is such a good dad. He is raising a very bright future. My boys love to work just like their dad. My boys love and care for me just like their dad. My boys are smart and funny just like their dad. (He is even a sport about picutres....I told him we were only going to do the kids' pictures since his leg is still in a cast...but then Madi wanted one with me so I asked Trevor to do one wit the boys...anyways that is why he is in a hoodie..but he didn't complain too much...just like his sons)

Mom and Madi

Mom and Madi
I absolutely love having Madison around. She is a little ray of sunshine. I am so blessed to be her mom !

Madison and Ethan

Madison and Ethan
Well...ya...I guess Madi ment it when she said she needed a sister....poor Ethan.

Christian and Carson

Christian and Carson
I love that these two remain such close friends. They spend all day together. From the time Christian gets home from school they are inseperable. I think every boy needs a brother!

Carson Found His Smile

Carson Found His Smile
When you compare the first day of school attitude with Carson's smile on our field trip...(back in October). You can see that Home School was such a good choice. I love having him home. We have a lot of fun together.

1st Day of School

I sooooo miss having the kids home, but Ethan misses the kids 100 times more. He walks around asking were they are all day long.

This is what happens when a very small piece of chocolate is given to our baby. I want to point out I did not give him that treat...but I got to clean it up. The kids told me, "but mom he wanted one too!" I am sure he did, but there is a reason mom only feeds him in his high chair!

Madison and Grandma

Madison and Grandma
Madison loves being our only girl. She and I spent a lot of time having little trips to Salt Lake. Grandma always took us out for great food. We will really miss our trips to visit grandma.

Ethan and Grandma Dorman

Ethan and Grandma Dorman
I am so grateful that Ethan was able to spend time with Grandma Dorman. She came and helped out after he was born. I am so lucky to have had a great relationship with a fabulous woman.

Carson's Baptism

Carson's Baptism
What a choice spirit Carson is. His baptism was amazing. The Spirit was so strong. Each of the kids afterwards told me of the warm and wonderful feelings they had during his baptism.

Family 2010
We were so grateful that Carson chose to be baptised. He shared his feelings with us as a family. He told us that he felt the Holy Ghost and he knows that he joined the true church. I too know that he is a member of the true and living church of our Savior.

Madison's costume was so cute. Her dad gave her pink roses and she had a hard time deciding what was better....dancing on stage or flowers?
