Happy Easter

We had 9:00 am church and Todd has meetings before church so I'm on my own every Sunday morning. Getting the kids ready and to church on time is always a challenge...but on Easter it was double trouble. There was no time for breakfast so chocolate bunnies had to suffice on the way to church and I tried to get pictures before church but without one parent positioning kids and the other snapping photos this is all I got:

Of course after church they refused to stay dressed in their outfits and were already dirty and wrinkled. We went to my parents house for dinner and egg hunting in the afternoon. So we had on our play clothes and post-nap hair going on.....nice.

Even with post nap hair, lunch and dinner Sophie is still so dang cute

Claire pulled out her hair-do the minute we got home

Tayson wore his favorite shirt - a sleeveless basketball jersey

Luke had on jeans with holes in the knees and Tayson's t-shirt

The kids completely destroyed the eggs. They were cracked everywhere and the little girls were seen snacking on pieces of them while jumping on the trampoline with them. Hopefully it will rain soon and clean up all the egg remains.

Happy Easter! I hope everyone had as much fun as we did. It was a beautiful day out and I loved hearing about my Savior and the Atonement and thinking about how wonderful it is to have a testimony of Jesus Christ.

Blogging...

There are so many questions and opinions on if blogging is good or bad. Like almost everything I believe it can be either. I did a search on lds.org and found this article and I really liked it. Also, yesterday in church a letter from the First Presidency was read and they talked about mormon.org and how this site is for people who aren't LDS but want to know more.

For me, blogging can be a waste of time sometimes. But it is also a way for me to record the little things my family does (I keep paper journals for more private things). I take so many more pictures of my kids and write down their silly conversations. I use blogging to show how much I love my family and my friends and my life. What I need to do a little more on my blog now is share my testimony.

Because I know God lives and I know Christ gave his life for me. I know I can be with my amazing husband and family for all eternity.
