Easter Weekend

I failed to post a mighty fun Easter weekend...

Many of Andrew's family came for the blessing and sealing of John and Naomi's daughter, Lily. The highlight of coarse was the sealing in the Denver Temple. The sealer said many thoughtful things, the Lord knew my circumstancesand spoke to me through him. It was one of those spiritual experiences that will buoy me up when times are tough.

We were overjoyed to see almost all of Andrew's siblings and so many of the cousins. We had a fun, festive weekend filled with an egg hunt, cotton candy, chocolate fountain, catching chickens, a hot dog roast, hairdos at Beki's salon, bread making extravaganza, pinata, motorcycle rides, and egg coloring. Whew, I don't even think that I even mentioned it all.

But best of all was the conversation, love, and memories shared. Everyone enjoyed the scripturereading and the songs of praise together. That was special together time that brought warm feelings to everyone.

I love family!! It makes struggles in life all worth it!! Thanks for taking the time to travel and visit. As for me and my family, we will cherish, remember, and hold dear to our hearts, the love and good times shared that Easter weekend.

Memorial Day Memories























It was so wonderful to see many of my cute nieces and nephews and to spend time with my family!

I had such a great time making sweet memories.
I am glad I was able to be there for Ethans baptism. What a special day it was for him... he was beaming from ear to ear. He even told me afterwards that he felt really good inside.
The girls went out to the "Tokyo Tempura House". It was really good Japanese food. I ate my first sushi and it wasn't that bad!
I visited some of my old stomping grounds and brought back many, many memories.
What a fun trip!
I am indebted to my wonderful husband for making it all possible!! I love you!
P.S. Here are a few fun pictures of the cute nieces and nephews and wonderful family.
