Easter
This year we had a neighborhood easter party on Saturday, hosted by the Links. They had an easter egg hunt, and the easter bunny appeared (my kids did not want to touch that life-sized bunny with a 10 foot pole!), and a yummy lunch (coconut bunny cake and all).
The next morning we let them open their easter baskets. This was the first time Olivia really enjoyed Easter. If you recall last year, she cried most of the time... After church we had an easter dinner at the Puzey’s house with some friends. Cheryl and I are trying to come up with our favorite (perfected over time) holiday meals. This time we tried Salmon again, and it turned out really well. I love making traditions and this easter was wonderful.
I love easter and the opportunity we have to focus on hope. Hope through the Savior’s atonement. I feel blessed to have the gospel and my family encouraging me each day, especially on easter.

Florida
We spent Spring Break ’09 at the Beach in Florida with the Puzey family this year and we had a blast. There is something about watching my kids play at the beach that makes me feel like a good parent. Similar to the feeling I get when my kids are sleeping. I am amazed at how busy kids are at the beach. They are constantly running from one project to the next: digging a hole, filling the hole with ocean water. digging another hole, building sand castles, burying each other in the sand, digging yet another hole. It was great. We also spent time at the pool (see below). Olivia stayed mostly in the shade, on a chair, which she really enjoyed (the sand was not her favorite...). I love the beach.
One of my favorite things to do at the beach is to take family pictures. We have some up in our front room right now that we took almost THREE years ago ... time to update. Poor Olivia wasn’t even in the pictures ...
Here are this year’s batch, taken by our favorite Uncle Doug.
