Easter 2018

The week before Easter, we took our family to the Jordan River Temple's open house.  The temple has been being renovated the last couple of years, and because of that, the church is having a re-dedication in May.  Before it's dedicated, anyone can go inside and walk through.  It was a really fun experience to go as a family!

At the end of the tour, we were able to stand in front of a picture of the temple and take a family picture!  It was awesome and it turned out great!  (We missed Eric and Andraea!)

And then we had Easter...

Eric and Andraea were here for the weekend, and before they came, Eric asked me if the Easter Bunny was going to bring him and Andraea a basket too.  (My almost 24 year old! HA!)  Of course the answer was YES!  Here's a picture of the 6 baskets! :)

Brandon wanted a Black Panther shirt...so that's what he got. :) 

And Dallin did too

Jacob got some new Yugioh cards

Kyle got a new game for his 3DS

I love when all of these kids play games together.  It just makes my "mommy heart" smile!

And here's a picture of Dallin and Brandon in their new Black Panther shirts!  Funny kids!

We had a great Easter weekend and it was wonderful spending time together.  It was also General Conference weekend and so we all watched conference together.  It was awesome! Conference was so good! I'm so grateful to know that we have a living prophet who leads and guides this church and who receives direct revelation from God on our behalf.  But also I'm so thankful that I can receive personal revelation as well! What a blessing!  

 And of course, I'm thankful for my crazy family!  I am one lucky mom! Happy Easter!
