Easter Weekend!

The Easter bunny just kept coming to our house. We loved it! Carson and Avery were invited to a fun little Easter egg hunt at the park on Friday so that was fun, especially for Carson. Saturday morning we had a ward picnic and Easter egg hunt at the park too and had a great time. We had kids in each of the 3 different age groups so we got lots of pictures (don't worry, I won't post them all) but by the time we got done, everyone was packing up and leaving. A few families kind of hung around and we visited with them and had a great time with the Broadhead's (thanks for the shade and the Pepsi)! It was a beautiful afternoon and the party was a lot of fun for all of us. We have so many wonderful people in our ward!

After the party in the park, we headed over to Cody's mom's house for an Easter dinner and Easter egg hunt with our family. Aunt Misti and her family were here for the day and Paige and Chloe came with us to the ward party so it was fun to see them and spend time with them. The kids had so much fun and Grandma heated up the hot tub and they all got in the pool! The water is definitely not warm enough for me to get in yet, but the kids just don't seem to care! They had a great time and Avery loved being with all the kids. Our kids can never get enough of their cousins when they're here so Saturday was definitely not long enough with Paige, Chloe and Nick, but they made the best of it. We were so glad to see them and it made for a really fun day! Jack and Vera always go all out and dinner was wonderful and the day was fun and relaxing.

Sunday was a beautiful Easter day! We all got up, got dressed, thought we were doing great and were still late to church. I'm hoping to change this! (stop laughing) I came away today with a renewed commitment to try and do a little better this week; to focus on the basics and keep trying! I sometimes get bogged down with all of the things that I'm not doing when I need to focus on the things that I can do and change things a little at a time...even small things matter. We sat down to dinner and talked about everything that we learned today and we had a full blown gospel discussion with Brittany and Bailey doing most of the talking. I'm so thankful for wonderful teachers and leaders who help us along in teaching our kids the gospel. It was definitely a good day and I got a nap! Bonus! Carson added to our gospel discussion later in the evening when Bailey said something that Carson didn't like and he said, "Bailey, Jesus is watching you......and Santa Claus!" We all cracked up! We had a little bit of everything this weekend and I think that's what made it so wonderful! Happy Easter!
