Easter

We Had a Great Easter this year! We were all sick and had Strep Throat a couple days before but luckily we felt well enough to enjoy the weekend. I Love when Easter and Conference are in the same weekend! What a great way to remember our savior by listening to our Prophet and all of the other wonderful speakers talk to us about him!!! We have the Easter Bunny come to our house on Sat. instead of Sunday so that Sunday can be all about the real meaning of Easter. It is something my Mom has always done and has now become one of our traditions too! I think it is a wonderful idea and we love it! The Easter Bunny spoiled the kids against his year. The 2 oldest got those ball things that have a handle on them and you bounce on them and lots of other little things and of course Candy! Jaxen got some cute little animal cars. And of course Amber got a cute Easter Dress and a shirt, Masen and Jaxen got matching outfits and matching polo shirts for church. We had a fabulous Easter morning and it is so much fun now that we have older kids that understand that the Easter bunny was coming and going to leave them stuff. Amber was up at 7 and couldn't wait any longer for us all to get up so we let her wake the boys up so she could see what she had gotten :) After the first session of conference we went to my Moms and had some yummy food and a Easter egg hunt for all the kids then the Boys all went to the Priesthood session. It was fun to have a Family get together will all of us there. Even Jenni came and cheated a little on her bed rest ssshhhhh Don't Tell ;) I am so grateful for the savior and all the sacrifices he made for me! I Love this time of the year when we can remember it all and teach our children about the Resurrection and the savior!

Zoo

My sister in-law Connie invited us to go to the Zoo with them a couple weeks ago , her kids didn't have school so we decided to tag along. I decided to pick up my nephew Dakota since Jenni is on bed rest and he has been begging her to take him to see the baby Elephant but she couldn't do anything about it. At first I was thinking what am I getting myself into!!!???? 4 kids 4 and under am I crazy!! But it turned out really good and Connie was there to save me when it wasn't going good :) The kids loved it and got to see the Baby Elephant and the Baby Giraffe which died a week after we saw it :( Amber was sad the Zebras were not there since they died not to long ago too. We went on the train and had lots of fun running around seeing and acting like Monkeys!
