Happy Easter!

This has been a nice Easter weekend. Yesterday, we colored eggs. The boys had a great time doing this, as always and got very creative with the crayons...not only did our egg kits have a white crayon, it also had red and black, which works very well when drawing lightsabers and Darth Vader.
Later on last night we had an egg hunt with plastic eggs and candy and then a BBQ with the family. We missed Sheila and her family, Kurt's family was in town so they weren't able to join us.
Anyway, here are pictures of some of the kids and a couple hello's for Grandma and Grandpa:



Today, the weather has been absolutely perfect for Easter, it is beautiful, with a slight breeze, making it even more perfect outside. We enjoyed a nice morning at church, James even allowed me to stay to most of Relief Society, which has not happened for, I don't know how long, then we came home to Easter eggs all over our backyard; the Easter bunny took our eggs we colored yesterday and hid them in our yard so we had to go find them. Poor James was asleep during all of the excitement. I guess we always have next year...
We have the tradition of watching The Lamb of God and then discussing the Resurrection with the kids. It's always fun to see how much they've grown since last year, I look forward to that..

Conference Weekend

I love General Conference. It is so nice to cuddle up with my family on the couch, while still in our PJ's, and listen to the teachings of the Prophet and other General Authorities.
For the Sunday morning session, we have a tradition where I make cinnamon rolls and John and the boys deliver them to our neighbors. Then we get to sit and watch while we eat warm, gooey treats.
Well, usually we've been close enough to our Roylance grandparents and 6 months ago, we of course, shared with our Dalley grandparents, but this year, no grandparents were close, so we thought we'd share with you the only way we can. We miss you Grandma and Grandpa Dalley and Roylance! Wish we were with you so we could share:
