Easter

It is officially Easter!!! Happy Easter to all of my friends and family.

I haven't posted in a few days, so here goes. On Thursday, we worked in the yard again. Not only are the boys ready to stop working, but the garbage company is not going to want to come by here again. We still have a little to do on the trees in the backyard and rototill the garden and it will be done. Our little garden inside is doing great. We just planted the seeds on Monday and they are pushing the top off the greenhouse. Can't wait to get produce from them.

On Friday, Eric was off work, well sort of, since he didn't work at CES, I had him working for us. We had 2 photo shots to due and I also had our family portaits done. We try and take one every year at Easter. Hope to have them edited and posted within the next week. Then we had Easter Dinner with Jesse's family and the missionaries. Yes we had it early. Dinner was Honey Ham, mac-n-cheese, asparagus, rolls and strawberry shortcake. You have got to love Elder Willis, for such a small guy he can put the food away. Elder Willis loves his sweets. Not only 2 plates full of food, that I saw, he handled 3 bowls of strawberry shortcake. Enjoyed watching Elder Smith taking the asparagus off of Elder Willis' plate. Of course with Easter Dinner you have to have the Easter Egg Hunt. It didn't take the kids very long to find the eggs. I love watching the kids. It was a beautiful day outside and after relaxing a while, Jesse, Kasey, Eric and I went for a motorcycle ride. It is great to have adult time.

The first weekend of April, besides Easter weekend, springtime, it is General Conference. You can't say enough about listening to the apostle's and First Presidency speak. Tomorrow is Easter, well it is 2:11 am, Easter morning and we are heading to Altanta, Georgia for a week. Eric has to go for training and with homeschooling Everett and Arlen has one more day of spring break and not much happening in school this week for him, we are taking a vacation. Plan on Six Flags over Georgia, swimming, and having lots of fun.

Happy Easter!!! Remember our brother Jesus Christ for this season.
