What a fun eventful Easter Weekend! Skate land birthday party and Easter Picnic with cousins! They got to go swimming with their big brother! What lucky kiddos! We are so grateful and happy when we get to be together with family. And we were absolutely blessed when we go to sit on the front row of the Easter Pageant at the Mesa Temple. What an incredible experience. It was as if we were the only ones on the grounds and experiencing this most spiritual moment. We could see their face expressions and feel the joy and pain. My children were completely mesmerized!







Easter Morning, Beautiful Day!






Easter Egg hunt in our backyard!!!










Happy Easter! This was the first Easter they really came to get a bit of an understanding of the Atonement. The "push up" analogy was an excellent way to explain the pain our savior went through whether we accept the Atonement or not in our lives. Thank you Tansey Hall for sharing that with our family. Kalicia was a trooper and did 60 push ups for our family, whether they wanted the donut or not. Then we turned the donuts into little tombs. I loved hearing their sweet little testimonies and their learning to understand the gospel.



Fun weekend with cousins!

Birthday Celebrations and much much more!


Happy birthday to this amazing girl! Charlotte is officially a teenager! And she is so excited :-) I am so proud to be her mom! What an inspiration she is to me. She got a bedroom for her birthday and designed it herself. So cool!! I love our birthday lunch dates and the time we get to spend together. I loved it! She set her alarm for midnight to celebrate being a teenager right at midnight. What an incredible young lady!!  Banana Splits at Midnight!











We said goodbye to our boat and celebrated Charlotte's birthday with Grandma and Grandpa Merrill.







































My Favorite, SHRIMP!


 Hiked 8 miles on an island and traveled to Mexico for Spring break! Had a wonderful time with this guy!!

 Loved hiking 8 miles to the top of Catalina Island! You could see both sides of this beautiful island from the tip top! Got to explore this great memorial in the botanical gardens. And Had no idea there was this awesome Blowhole near Ensanada!! Loved spending time with this fun guy!! My kids said they are going to learn Spanish so they can come next time!! I love it!! I think I will learn with them! They labeled everything in the house in Spanish!!
