Spring Break

Our spring break this year was was packed full of many fun activities.  We got to see many people we haven’t seen in quite awhile.  It was awesome.  We started by heading to Boise for Easter and Emma’s baptism!  We were so happy that we could be there for her special day and we are so proud of her choice to be baptized.  P3300422

Isn’t she pretty!  Timber doesn’t look too happy, but she was – promise!  While we were there we were able to celebrate Easter with them too!  We decorated eggs and had an egg hunt in the backyard.

The weather was beautiful and the kids even got a little sunburnt!  Can’t wait for summer!!  Thanks for having us, Stephans!  We had a great time!  We enjoyed going to church with them the next day and just visiting with them.  We are so blessed to have them be part of our family!  On Monday, we dropped Leonard off at the Boise airport so he could fly home and work while we spent the next week in Idaho Falls. 

We had a great time there too – except each kid took their turn having a stomach bug so someone was sick most of the time we were there.  This limited us a little bit, but we were still able to do the things that were the most important to us.  We saw cousins, played with cousins, saw Jackson (just home from his mission to Peru in February), saw Iriel (Courtney and Dan’s new baby girl), and PLAYED WITH COUSINS!  It’s the one thing that the kids wanted to do.  It was good to see everyone. 

We also had the opportunity to be there when the family celebrated my grandparents 70th wedding anniversary!  They are amazing people and I feel so blessed to have them as my grandparents.   We had a little program where Kaydra played the violin, uncle Steve sang a song he wrote, and Grandpa and Uncle John spoke.  P4060438P4060440P4060441P4060442

It was awesome to see so many family members that I haven’t seen for awhile.  After the short program we had a delicious lunch.  My slice of prime rib was absolutely perfect – even now I would like some more! SmileI totally stole some of these next pictures from my cousin Stephanie’s blog – but I don’t care because they are awesome!

Thanks so much to everyone who went to all the trouble to make it happen.  Our family is so blessed!
