Spring Break and Easter

The Easter Challenge:
Saturday night Doug went to the Priesthood session of conference and told us about President Uchtdorf's talk about patience and the object lesson that he discussed in his talk. Doug decided to give it a try with our kids. He gave them each a jelly bean and said that they could eat it, or if they didn't eat it and waited 5 minutes, he would give them 3 more. They were excited and here are the results...
Brooke ate her jelly bean as soon as Doug turned around!


Dallin saved his!


Brooke got a second chance, but really wanted that Jelly Bean!


She made it!!!


Dallin aced the challenge...Doug was very impressed!




Easter Morning
I have served in the primary presidency since we moved to Florida and have loved it. We have become really good friends with our president, Heidi. She spoiled the kids at Christmas and dropped off Easter baskets for the kids the week before Easter. Heidi is amazing and we love her so much!!! She was the best Easter bunny these kids will ever get!



Spring Break at Wolf Park

This spring break was really relaxing. We stayed home and enjoyed just laying around and being lazy. Wolf park is right behind our house and reminds us of home. We brought our beach chairs and lunch and felt like we were on vacation, camping in the mountains. It was very relaxing and just what we needed. (We planned to spend this week at the beach, but didn't realize how crowded and crazy it was here during spring break).
