Easter Party

Here's Katie as a flower- isn't she beautiful?! My favorite part of the Easter Party was the picture cutouts! Rach and I drew all these pictures, then cut out holes for the kids to really BE elements of Easter. ha ha ha Anyway- enjoy the pics!
Here's Katie's friend Mallory. Mallory chose to be the Easter Bunny. :-)
Here are the kids playing 'keep the cotton ball on the spoon.' They really had fun!
The lovely spread...yummmm!!

Easter Message

I love to hear Easter messages, and this one from Jeffrey R. Holland was especially moving! He discusses Easter and the marvelous gift of our Savior. I know that Jesus Christ knows each of us, loves each of us, and understands each and everything we go through. He wants to help us, and will help us if we trust Him to. Because He gave His life, I know we may live again. I am so grateful for this gift, for because of it, I have the opportunity to live with my family again- including my sweet little Luke.

Easter Yo-yos

Who doesn't love a yo-yo? We were thrilled when the Easter Bunny brought the boys each a yo-yo to work off all the extra sugar. You can see Logan "walking the dog" in this video. The hugest surprise for me was that James is an amazing elementary-school-motivational-speaker-quality yo-yoer! :-) I had NO idea! It's nice to know he can support our family should he ever need to change jobs. I'm not kidding- watch his moves! And these aren't even all of them! A man of many talents, that's for sure. He's gonna love this post. ha ha Way to go Honey!

So sleepy

Logan still bonks his head when he goes to sleep- typically he's in his bed, but this time I caught him on the couch singing his church primary song and then dozing off. I thought it might keep him up if he saw me film him, but nope! He slept for quite a while!
