Happy Easter

Jensyn and Darwin at the Easter Egg Hunt in South Ogden

We had such a fun Easter weekend. On Saturday we went to South Ogden for an Easter Egg Hunt. Jensyn did not seem to care very much about getting eggs nor did the other kids/babies in the same age category. So mostly we just took pictures of Jensyn and Darwin and I picked up the eggs.

Later that day we had another Easter Egg Hunt at my mom's house. Then we had a hot dog roast and then an adult Easter Egg Hunt. My sister-in-law Jeri Dawn hid eggs for the adults. One egg had a $50 bill and two eggs had $5 and seven eggs had numbers in them, the rest of the eggs had treats. Well $50 is very motivating for adults we all ran and searched as quickly as possible. It was very intense. My brother BJ did not know that the eggs had prizes in them. He gave all of the eggs he found to his three year old, Boston who proceeded to throw the filled eggs into the fire (from the hot dog roast). Well, we went through our eggs and no one had any money. I was thinking that it was burning away in the flames. After a few minutes my other brother, Jason (Jeri Dawn's husband) came to the back yard with a lot of eggs. He found all of the money and he felt bad so he wanted to re-hide the $50. It was a fun thing to do.

On Sunday we went to church in our new ward (well the ward that I grew up in-but it is still new to us). After we went to Darwin's Grandparents' for dinner and another Easter Egg Hunt. Jensyn finally participated!!! She would see an egg and put it in her basket. Darwin and I were thrilled. After a weekend of hunts she figured it out.


I am very grateful for the Easter holiday and for what it means to me. I am grateful for Christ and the atonement. I hope that we can all keep the true meaning of this holiday in our hearts at all times.
