Happy Easter


We had a really fun Easter weekend with lots of family, candy, and belly aches. Jared's sister was in town, so on Saturday we decorated eggs and had a little egg hunt. The kids are all about the same age so it is always a lot of fun to spend time with them.
The excitement for Sunday morning was that the Easter bunny brought us a trampoline. The kids were so excited and it has been a blast so far. I loved being able to stay home and watch conference on Easter and to hear some of the talks focus on the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. I also loved the fact that I didn't have to compete with the sugar highs with every child in primary.
We went to my parents for dinner and had another egg hunt. My mom had different sections for the big kids and little kids to hunt, which worked out really well. The kids also got silly string in their baskets and loved chasing everyone around. Even the adults got into the silly string action. I always love the Easter holiday and the warm weather that usually accompanies it. Too bad the warm weather doesn't last longer before it turns blazing hot.

Your kids are getting so big. St. George was beautiful for Easter. We got a trampoline for our kids about 6 years ago, and no matter what anyone says, they are the best little time pacifier ever. Not to mention it is a great tool for getting their wiggles out.

About the magic eraser. It will be your new best friend. Run out and buy one today. They are in the aisle with the cleaning stuff. I have a whole stock of them. They take off crayon, marker, grease, practically anything that your little toddler can get a hold of. Color test it first, because it will take off stain or paint. Just don't scrub too hard at first. Take care!
