Easter

Ok so I stink at blogging! I always think I will put up pictures as soon as I take them so they won't seem so boring but I don't. I can't keep up. Don't know why but I can't. Old age? Memory loss? Dr. appointments? School? 3 church callings? Homework? Annoying neighbor kids? (No, not any of your kids!) Excuses, excuses, excuses!!! I have a goal to get caught up soon, we will see.  Believe it or not I started this post a couple of weeks ago maybe three, I don't remember.  Ugh!  Anyway this is how our Easter went.

My parent's Easter egg hunt had to be indoors due to the incessant rain. Imagine that!  Megan is "too old" to hunt for eggs anymore.  Sniff sniff.  Thus there aren't any pictures of her from that day.  I don't know why.

We also attended a Easter egg hunt put on by Make-a-Wish.  They are awesome.  It was at Discovery Park in Ogden.  The kids collected more eggs than their baskets could hold.  We walked around the park and took a few silly pictures.      We had never been to this park before so I was glad we could see it for free.  I guess I am too cheep to walk around and see beat up dinosaurs statues.  It is a pretty park though and, I am sure, there are a lot of kids who love it.  What is wrong with me?  I guess I am not into dinosaurs.  We had a lot of fun though!





Every boy needs a balloon machine gun and every girl needs a balloon sword.  No flowers and butterflies for my kids.  At least no damage can be done with a balloon.  Right?








I always forget to buy extra eggs to color for Easter plus no one around here eats hard boiled eggs much.  I hate to waste so this year I pulled out some markers and had the kids color plastic eggs instead.  I know, I am no fun at all!


Easter Sunday the kids were surprised to find new clothes to wear to church.  Logan has been wanting a suit for quite a while now so that he can look just like his dad.  So he was very ecstatic to find a suit with his candy.  We have to say thanks to a very generous Easter bunny.  Thank you!  We are thankful for the Easter season where we can celebrate and think more deeply about what our Savior Jesus Christ has done for all of us.  We know because of Him and His Atonement we can repent of the wrong we have done and do better.  We are also thankful that through the Atonement we can forgive others, those who hurt us, even those who hate or despitefully use us.  Because of Jesus Christ we can live again!  We are so blessed!
