Easter Time

Easter time is our favorite time of year. Jesus died on the cross for all of our sins and on the 3 day he was alive! It doesn't get any better than that!

Connor has been out of school all month and we have had lots of fun, but I think Easter weekend was the best. Good Friday we colored eggs and made hot cross buns (a tradition my great grandma passed down to me - for which I am so blessed). Connor loves to cut the crosses on them and this year I couldn't get him to stop eating them.





Saturday we went to Heber. Our friends the Huntley's invited us to ride the Easter train. The weather was perfect and the drive was beautiful - except for the red light I ran :). We stopped and hung out with my sister Tina.. It was so fun to visit with her. She is amazing so beautiful on the inside and out. Then we meet up with our friends at the train. Connor made a new friend at the petting zoo... his name is Bacon. On the way home we stopped for lunch and walked on the beach at Deer Creek.



Sunday we woke up and Connor told us the Easter story and then it was off the see what the Easter bunny had done. We went to church and heard the cutest kids sing and then a wonderful message. After church was the best part... We had a bbq outside. The weather was so nice. While Wes and I got lunch ready Connor set out games for us to play. He was so excited for us to just hang out.

Egg Drop

Connor's class did an egg drop at school. Connor made a house and then picked an egg to put inside. He named it Eggbert. After he was safe in his house we took him to school. His teacher, Mrs. Childs dropped him off the roof. And well Eggbert lived. It was so fun to watch all the eggs fall... some lived and well some didn't.
