Happy Easter

Isn't Easter a whole week of fun?  It was for us this year.  It started off with me making cute treats for my visiting teaching ladies. They were pretty cute, but unfortunately we didn't think they tasted that great.  The chocolate was too much.  Tuesday we did the Clot Trot.  It is a hemophilia run put on by some friends from a different ward.  This is the first year we did it, and me and the boys ran the 1 mile.  We did it in 11 minutes and 3 seconds.  Dave and Sabree stood at the turn around point for the 5K to direct runners so they didn't keep going.  It is so fun to run and feel accomplished, especially when we can do it as a family.  I am so proud of my boys!  On Friday we Easter we invited a few families over for a BBQ and egg hunt.  It was fun to get to know new families better (or maybe we are the new family) and make new friends.  The kids had a load of eggs, and it was fun. Saturday we gave the boys their Easter present from us - roller blades, then we worked in the yard. Lots of projects, you know.  We got the garden all tilled and my strawberries planted.  Everyone was very "dirt"y, and had a great time in the sunshine.  We went to another BBQ at Webb's for lunch, and then back to work!  Unfortunately by then it was really quite windy, so that put a damper on the fun.  Sunday Dave made bunny breakfast and  I had to speak in church on "Miracles".  I felt like it went well and had lots of compliments.  After church we stopped at the Temple and took Easter pictures in our Easter clothes.  Due to a busy weekend, we didn't really have time to contact the Easter Bunny and let him know when the best time for an egg hunt would be.  But that sneaky bunny got baskets all ready while the boys were changing their Sunday clothes and then we had a great time flying our new kites for a while before going to dinner at Strattons for a delicious ham and funeral potatoes meal.

We are certainly blessed to have such great people in our lives.  We truly feel like we have had millions of miracles happen in our lives because of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and a lot of those miracles include the great people in our lives.
