3 Days of Easter

When we woke up Sunday morning Cameron asked, "we have Easter for 3 days?" So that's what it has felt like around here. Holidays seem to go on longer and longer the older my kids get. Sadly the day of the actual event is anti-climatic! One of those days was the preschool party.
Saturday we went to a park for an Easter egg hunt at 9 am put on by our realtor. They had the different age groups sectioned off. Jason wasn't too excited at first to be gathering up eggs, candy and little toys on the ground. He finally got into it by the end. Melanie and Cameron were really excited, along with all of the other kids in the 3-5 age group. I was standing on a picnic table to watch and all that I could see were backs bent over. When it was all over Melanie was about in tears. She walked away with 1 egg and 3 pieces of candy. Cameron did a little better and was nice to share his candy! I did manage to get a picture of the kids with the Easter bunny there. Okay, so only one of the kids would stand by the bunny- Alyssa didn't really have a choice. She was the only one that couldn't walk or talk. The other's were a little nervous behind the camera! Silly kids! We are all sick of candy (mostly me, I have no self control!) and we had a fun weekend. Of course the highlight was going to church on Sunday and worshiping the One we celebrate this time of year, our Savior Jesus Christ. I am so grateful for Him and for all that he has done for me. My life has meaning because of Him!

How funny! I agree that Easter Bunny's a little scary looking. I'm glad the kids had a fun Easter! It's so crazy how there is snow everywhere for Easter. It's EASTER. No snow anymore!

Alyssa probably wondered how the Easter Bunny's top teeth came in before his bottom teeth, unlike hers! She also looks a little nervous about the apparent size of top teeth- will hers be that big? Yikes! How will she fit them in?

your easter egg hunt sounded like ours. We basically had to point to the eggs so Kyla would pick them up. She walked away with a few eggs but she didn't really catch on until all the eggs were already claimed. We didn't have a cool bunny like that at ours though, seems like a perfect job for Chad.

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
